You go chica! Woohoo... I'm 243 so I'm down, -28! This definitely a journey! I've been trying little stuff, but then my stomach be like, I'm not ready and I have to run the bathroom! I find myself snacking a lot, I guess because I'm not getting full meals! I snack on fresh fruit though.... I love me some Publix fruit, cut fresh! That's definitely a change for myself, because it use to be Publix cake! It feel so good to walk by that section and not be bothered! Oh yea... So DaddyMarie, what does your food schedule look like?[/QUOTDiva, That's awesome! Congrats! Isn't this fun! Lol!!! I went back to work on Monday and I work around a lot of men an they were all eyes. I have gotten tons of compliments. Ok a typical day is like this:Breakfast: protein shakeSnack: string cheese with a slice of turkeyLunch: shredded chicken with edemame or quinoa. Snack: apple slice with almond butterDinner: a protien an a veggieThat's about it.

I Know there are probly lots of threads like this but I'm sick of reading and reading and reading. So here it is. I'm irritated. I had my surgery on May 7th which puts me at 4 weeks out tomorrow. I am down 18 lbs since surgery. I feel like it's so damn slow! Especially because I have been at a stall for about 2 weeks!!! I get plenty of Water and 70 grams of Protein, plenty of exercise and am eating good home made healthy soft foods. A normal day is like this: Breakfast: scrambled eggs, (with Pam cooking spray) with zucchini and mushrooms. About half a cup. Snack: Protein shake Lunch: tuna with light mayo and avocado Snack: protein shake Dinner: garden burger patty with mozzarella cheese or soft grilled boneless skinless chicken with steamed veggie Lots of water throughout the day What gives?

I just gave my girlfriend 30 pairs of big girl jeans!!! I have lost 30 lbs and went from a size 18-20 to a 14-16!!! In just 5 weeks! (7 if you count the preop diet)

Woohoo!! Congratulations lady!!!! How many weeks out? Ummm. 5! Thank you!!!

Have read a few posts on the slimes and am having them now along with aweful reflux! It started when I took my nightly meds. I totally forgot and swallowed three tiny pills at once. Now my chest hurts, I have heartburn and the slimes! Make it stop!!!

30 lbs down as of today!!!! 252-222!!!

With everything that has been going on lately and all this weight loss surgery talk, I'm feeling very anxious... I have been second guessing my choice to do this, I am getting irritated waiting for insurance approval and then once I'm approved the fact that I don't know what happens next irritates me.. I think about when it could be and how my work is gonna take it. Im worried about how I will feel at work after the surgery. Will my energy levels be ok? Will I be able to make it through the day? Will people be supportive? Will I have this crappy dizzy ness everyone speaks of or acid reflux? Will I be nauseous all the time? Will I get dehydrated and pass out and have to be admitted into the Hospitol? Will I get an infection? An ulcer? What am I gonna do with my RA and Lupus and not be able to take my 800 mg Motrin? Will I develop back problems? Will my planters facetious get better? Will my migraines go away or get better? Will my insurance even approve me?! What have I gotten myself into?

Now that I am sleeved and have lost close to 30 lbs. I have a ton on my bucket list but my first is to learn to surf!

Hello! I was sleeved May 7th and I feel awesome!!!!! I am down 28 lbs and I'm blazing my trail! Reading my original post was a little bittersweet. Goodby old Steph hello new Steph!!

So I finally had my post op appointment today and it went awesome. My Surgeon was very happy with my weight loss and how much progress I have made. He have me a clean bill of health and all is well!. After my husband and I left we were both kinda hungry. It's inhaled to find healthy fast food but I did it! CHICK FIL A!! Grilled chicken bites and fruit. I could not even finish the tiny cups they came in.

Um take the pain meds? They don't prescribe them to you for just in case. You just had major surgery and if your not comfortable and the pain is not being managed then you won't heal right! Take the meds!

Here's a before and after

Ok am sure there are dozens of posts in this and I have skimmed through them but since this is an open forum I will ask again.. When the eff can I have REAL coffee. Decaf is not coffee. I had my slithery on May 7th, so I am almost a month out.

I hope so! Good luck on your sleeve! It's really not as bad as some make it out to be

Wow that really sucks. Everyone has a different threshold for pain. I thought it was way easier then expected an took full advantage of my beautiful Norco! Are you taking pain meds? Are you walking for 30 min a day?

when was your surgeryMay 7th and Friday I started soft foods

how much do you eat at a timeLike half a cup maybe a bit more.

Thank you! I ha a half cup and it was heaven!

Wow thank you! Your hilarious!

Thanks ladies!!

I grilled zucchini last night and diced some up with my egg this morning and added some crab meat and like a tsp of smoked mozzarella. YUM!!!

I just made a half a cup with powdered non dairy creamer and that Torino (or whatever they call it) sugar free hazelnut syrup. It. Tastes like liquid gold!!!!

I'm right there with you sister! May 7 (as you know) started at 253 and I'm at 226!!

The tomatoes made my tummy bubble. 'Twas good though!

Ok today I started soft foods and what do I make?! CAPRISE SALAD!
