Starting weight 258 and 5'4" Now 5 months out 183# so 75 lbs! http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=34.634319,-86.492200&zoom=14&markers=34.634319,-86.492200&size=400x300&sensor=true First pic is my birthday 2 months before surgery and other 2 are from a few days ago. Hope the attachments post

I started with kettle bell. Was difficult as I was never very healthy after high school. Good luck!

I too am stuck in 80's, 183 for a week now. But I know it will pass. When I feel discouraged I just look back to where I started.

Def hardest thing for me is no dt mtn dew! I really miss those, but the other benefits outweigh the loss

I try to get in some form of exercise as often as possible. I work 7 12 hr nights so it's not always easy to exercise. I eat mostly chicken and fish. I haven't been able to eat any form of beef since surgery, makes me physically ill. I generally get in 50-70 grams of Protein and about 64 ounces of Water. Good luck with surgery! Keep us updated. Oh and 5'4" and 258lbs. Stuck at 183 for last few days but it'll pass. Stalls are just part of this. If I could exercise more, probably be better but I'm very happy with my results thus far.

I'm terrible about my vitamins too . I've been trying to do better, esp since losing so much hair. Glad to hear from you.

Hello all my Huntsville Al peeps . How is everyone doing?? I've lost 73lbs! Feel fabulous. All my medical problems are now resolved. This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself! My life is forever changed and I'm so grateful. 35lbs to goal!

I've ate all the things listed except tortilla. Have trouble with cucumber so will be leaving that off. Thought I could cut it into 3 or 4 portions, Saran Wrap, and put in fridge. Never know til you try I reckon.

I used to love mixing rotisserie chicken, red onion, broccoli, tomato, cheese, and cucumber with a vinaigrette dressing and put in low carb tortilla shells. I'm 3 months out, think this would be acceptable?

Every morning after I pee Don't stress if numbers don't move, I know stalls happen but I'm ecstatic about where my numbers are from where they've been.

I've been drinking benefiber for 2 months. Good luck!

Yea. Been wondering about the fiber but dr said it would help. Thought abt using soap suds enemas.... Idk. It's been 3 months and not seeing a lot from fiber. Just tired of digging ya know

Thanks! Nurse also on L&D unit so know the spill I tell my patients before they go home. And I do ok until I hit 12 days with no BM then I'm up for anything. I've been doing my own "removal" and I'm just grasping at straws for something that'll work. I've had this problem since my sleeve. My surgeon recommended increasing water and some mag citrate yuck!! But now that we are all cleaned out, hoping to keep up with water, fiber, and smooth moves tea twice a week. I spoke with a lady at church tonight who had very similar issue and she said hers got better with time

I'm not sure. Take celebrate multi so guessing it has some. I've always taken a vitamin but I'm sure these have way more in them.

Was wondering if this ever went away lol. 3 months out and fart ALL the time. Small price to pay I guess, thankfully mine have no smell either.

Switched coffee to decaf, have drank water til I wanna puke, and finally found smooth moves tea! Fixing to drink my first cup. Here goes!!

Cold for first time in my life! I was always the hot fat chick so it's all new to me. Everyone I know thinks it's weird but just another change that comes with this surgery. I will take a little cold

I start immediately with water. Drink drink drink and repeat! Lol. It's tedious but I manage 4-5 bottles a day. My doc said no straws but I found myself doing it out of habit and doesn't bother me at all. I've definitely noticed it's easier to get my water in since then. Good luck!

And no. Water total is just for my 5 bottles

2 small cups of coffee a day.

I've finally hit onederland!!!!! Feels amazing! 59 lbs since surgery December 16 th and loving my sleeve

Oh and I take no meds but vitamins and calcium.

Will definitely look for this! Will make a trip to walgreens

My nut said caffeine was ok because I drink almost 100 ounces water a day on top of couple cups coffee. I do hr and half four to five days a week on the treadmill. I'm really just at a loss. If it's not a fibroid making this so bad, I'm not sure what to do next. I will try decaf coffee and see but this was here before I added caffeine back, but will try about anything at this point!

I've looked for it at walmart with no luck. Anywhere else it's sold?
