10/31 198, I never weigh in back to back but I knew I would be under 200 this morning!! First time in over 4 years I've been here!! ONDERLAND!!!!

Each doctor is different. My NUT and my surgeon's office are totally different. In totally different city's and in there range for most everything else. So I try to stay in the middle of them both lol

Sounds good at 5 wks my NUT wanted me to be between 600-800.

I usually walk 30-45 minutes daily. (except this last week, Haven't had any motivation) But the first 2 months and 1 week I walked daily (fast paced). I started Zumba again (Love it) . I plan on p90x in November. Tryn to find something I like to do and wont get old Sorry not much help. Walking is amazing I have found.!!

10/23 - 202, 10/30 - 200, Goal by Turkey day - 190

Amazing!!! You are doing so good!! Cant wait to see 2 month pic!!

Good luck!!! Your totally normal! Keep us posted on your progress

How did your surgery go?? Haven't heard much on this post in a while.

Ya that's weird! Hasn't even logged in since!

Congrats!!! How exciting!!

At 9 1/2 wks I can drink 32 oz in about an hour or under......I've been horrible about remembering to drink was fluids over the last week. I know my body is using it due to not peeing every 15 mins or so. I'm making a mental note now to drink through out the day! Gotta stop craming it in the last 4 or 5 hours in the day.....that said I'm Doing 32 oz now because its 230 and I haven't drank anything yet! Gah It'll get better lady.

Ya mine was removed through the lower left incision. It was the only one that ached. My pain wasn't to bad except that one side incision pulled a lot. But nothing so bad I couldn't handle it.

I'm 9 1/2 wks out and I've been noticing more hair loss. I have curly curly hair so I pray that you cant tell much but curly as it is it's thinner. I'm so afraid the sheading will pick up and I'll have bald spots! Ugh....... I'm interested to hear also! Sorry I was no help!

I have one, but don't use it like I thought I would. I really like it the times I have used it! Sorry I'm not much help.

I was just lucky enough to get off the day before. My sister in law however had a bypass a month after mine sleeve and was on her period. She had to use pads. They wouldn't let her use a tampon she was not impressed. I suggest bring some of each just incase. But I think they are ready for anything! Good luck tomorrow you'll do great!

Laura THANK YOU! GG THANK YOU! Butter THANK YOU! SUSAN A HUG AND HUGE THANK YOU for telling your story! I'm following this and am baffled that some have it single minded in there heads to argue or wanna disagree with what is mostly (not so much detail) the things we were taught and schooled in before we had this surgery. By all means most eat what you want. I am of the mind with vets and GG. I strive to eat healthy and my meals I cook are so flavorful! I also understand wanting to eat a bit of (the forbidden food) And for most we will at one time or another but a bite of cake at your birthday is ok from what believe. Now a few bites at your birthday and a few weeks later your brothers or nieces or grandmas then a few weeks later your husbands sisters ect is where the trouble lies. Susan is speaking right to me sayn "oh my sleeve will stop me" Or "oh my sleeve will talk to me" Is what I would have thought also! I know now from your story/life this will NOT happen to me. I know I have a food issue and I plan to use this tool to its fullest! Sorry if I don't sound supportive. I might have indulged more often the later I was out if not for this forum. Thank you all for opening my eyes.

If exercise and eating are a question for you most of us on here are on My Fitness Pal. You could request us as friends and check out our day. I'm not perfect most of us are not but It could give you a better Idea of what we deal with. Your more than welcome to request me I'm on there as Ersopher. Good luck chicka hope you find the answers to reassure you on your journey!! Please let us know how it goes!!

I walked a lot in the hospital. The first week I worked myself up to walking each day by starting out walking around my cul de sac with my husband for 5 minutes slow 2 laps the day after I got home. I increased it to 10 then 15 down the street then the block. I'm 9 wks out and walk 2 miles a day with my son in a stroller and my dog.

That's wonderful news!!! Congrats your going to do great!

I have not taken them after VSG but Please be careful with those. I ended up on them for a year in 05'. Long story short it made me someone I didn't know, nobody knew! My husband said my rage was that of a roid rage. I wanted to break things. And once I did. I wish I could take that time in my life back. It was very stressful and hard on my marriage. However I know you have to go through steps seeing what works and what doesn't. I should have never been taking clomid for a year. That's not how that pill works it's short periods not long lengths. We then moved on and 5 years later after a break we tryd IVF. By then I was 29 and desperate to have a baby. We were successful our first time with IVF. Had our baby boy in Jan 2011. So I understand your need. Just watch those pills. That said I wish you all the luck in the world during this process!

You are an amazingly strong woman!! Thank you for sharing your story. Wishing you the most life can offer!

Way to go!!! That's a amazing loss! I'm 9wks yesterday and down 47 lbs! Keep up the great work
