    I'm sure it's all the IV fluids, but I noticed that during the night, I was passing gas a lot. Eventually, my gas turned into diarrhea. Did anyone else have this issue? Is it normal?

    yep it was 3 weeks before I pooped solid then I went the other way and struggled with Constipation it has taken a while to get regulated LOL your body has been through a major change. Just sip your Water and broth follow the plan and it will be ok.

    I'm scheduled with Dr. Miles on March 6. Anyone here attend the support group at St Vincent's East? I've only been able yo attend twice, but loved it.

    I am going for my 6 month check up tomorrow with Dr Miles he is great! I have been to the support group a couple of times it is just a really long drive for me. Congrats on your date!

    I'm a little worried. I had surgery the 14th and I'm only down 23 lbs total pre op included! Is that normal? I expected more weight loss by now. Well, I just looked at the calendar and realized that it has only been two weeks so...maybe I'm trying to rush things! LOL

    it took a while to start dropping

    Your body has to heal

    Thanks :-) Dr. Stahl is my surgeon. When did you have your sleeve done.? I am not so nervous about pre op but I am nervous about post op

    August 20th. Just follow the plan it will be ok! The first couple of days I was really sore but it is worth it! Just walk all you can the more you walk the easier it will be.

    Well I had a challenging week that I caused myself I cooked one of my favorite meals for my daughter and grandson and ended up grazing most of the day Monday! Down only a few tenths last week 248 this week 247.6 really depressing since I was at 246.2 on Sunday. I am noticing after I drop a few pounds if I eat off plan for only one day it effects weight loss for a week! Thanks for doing this!!!!!!! :-)

    On several occasions now I have not been recognized by people I have known for years. It is inspiring and unsettling at the same time. I am still me just almost 1/3 less of me. The hey skinny comments are fun but I a far from skinny! I am 5-10 248lbs with a BMI over 30. I love my sleeve and would not undo it if I could but I never expected the attention my weight loss would draw.

    Congratulations on your success. Don't be too hard on yourself lasting change comes slowly! The only day we can control is today so if I am depressed about my slip up of yesterday or obsessing on what I will do tomorrow I might miss the things I can do today to make my life better. Sounds like you are doing wonderful. I understand being beat up by my mind being a recovering addict I spent the first 2 years of my recovery being depressed over my unchangeable checkered past it took me a long time to realize that today is where I make a deference in my life. Now clean for 10 years and beginning this weight loss journey in August some of those should have been could have been demons are rearing their head. If I stay in today and do what I can today I have more internal peace.

    Hang in there you are doing great!

    STRUGGLES with this forum! Sheesh! Okay...so I tried to send out a reminder message to everyone on the Valentine's Day Challenge list. It's no easy thing to do in this website as each name must be typed in individually (no copy-and-paste) as there are a LOT of repeated names (now that the forums have been combined) and there is no way the program will choose the "right" one from the list (I've experimented) so I have to type in each name, then CLICK on the one I think is the right one. So...I finally get all 120 names typed in, with the proper ones chosen from the options list, and hit the SEND button. ERROR: "You cannot enter more than 100 names!" Next...I tried deleting half the names from the list and resending. No joy. I was still getting ERROR: "You cannot enter more than 100 names!" Next...I started over and entered a little over HALF the names, starting with 2013sleevegirl and ending with kltklass. There are two options when sending to a group. One is for sending out messages as if they were one-to-one and the other is sending a one-to-many. Last time I selected the second but didn't like the way it worked as it seemed every response was copied to everyone. This time, I tried the one-to-one choice. Yippee! It worked (I think). Great! So now I get ready to add in the second half of our group and send a message but guess what...I can't! Now I get an error message that says "You have sent the maximum number of private messages per day that the administrator allows." So...my apologies for HALF of you getting reminders and HALF of you not! I may have to give up on this "reminder" thing. Although it makes good sense, it just seems too problematic to try again. :blush:

    Thanks for what you do!
