  1. Hi I think I need to do that. I started at 249 and I want to lose 120lbs making me 129lbs. Idk if that's maintainable but I'm gonna try. I was a revision band to sleeve on dec 30th. On that day I was 222lbs last weigh in I was 203.
  2. I still get hungry when it's time to eat which at first made me upset cause I don't wanna be hungry. But then the tiniest amount of protein takes that away immediately so hungry or not, I can live with that.
  3. I feel awesome. No problems really. I'm eating well just smaller amounts so it's exactly what I wanted
  4. yup didn't make sense to me to start trickin it up this early on. Just following the rules and waiting it out.
  5. I'm five weeks out and the dreaded stall started on day 18. The scale finally moved today! I didn't change anything just kept on going. That was a lonnnng time it seems. Guess there's not much avoiding it. Lol
  6. Here's a recap of how it's gone so far. High weigh- 249 lbs 5'1" Surgery day weight 222 lbs on dec 30, 2013 Week 1- lost 8 lbs Week 2- lost 6 lbs Week 3- lost 5 lbs Week 4- lost 0 Week 5- lost 0 Good thing is the stall is broken now but I can't record that until next Monday.
  7. hi jerzey! Well I was stalled for a few weeks but it finally went down today so I'm at 202 lbs! Soooo close to that 199 stalls are definitely no fun but I'm down a solid 20 lbs since surgery on dec 30th so guess I'm on the sixth weeks
  8. HW 249 SW 222 CW 205 17 lbs lost since surgery on Dec 30,2013 I've been stalled for 15 brutal days now. Started on Jan 18th only 19 days post op. It stinks but I'm hopeful it will move soon.
  9. I knew myself enough to know that everything I've ever tried didn't work for me. I was so tired of starting a brand new diet on Monday. Every Monday it seemed. I wanted it so bad so I didn't even think for a second that I wanted to back out. I decided I was going to get better so I could be the person I knew I was on the inside. My girls need me around and if I kept going, I would not be there for them. I didn't allow negative thought about what could happen during surgery. An early death from diabetes was going to be my future if I didn't take this opportunity. Only thing I questioned was which surgery to do. No negative thoughts allowed but it is perfectly normal to fear the unknown. Good luck with whatever u decide.
  10. I take two prenatal gummies, 2 Carmel flavored calcium chews, extra d3, 2 biotin 5000 melts, and centrum silver chewable. Oh and Prevacid
  11. Oh my gosh I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I'm guessing the pancreatitis has nothing to do with the sleeve? Yes definitely get some G2 or what I drink is power aid zero everyday. I also keep it by the bed at night. Never had a problem with dehydration and I'm able to drink full swallows without sipping at four weeks out. Get ur fluids and antibiotics in and u should be good as new in no time. Thinking of u thru the hard times.
  12. I did fry the cat fish but pat it pretty good. I normally never dry anything at all though so I don't know if that's what made me sick. But we don't dump with the sleeve so I'd be surprised really. For the time being I'm going to stay away. Won't be hard cause I don't like seafood anyway lol like it even less now lol
  13. oooh 11 lbs !! I bet by next month u and I will be well under that mean ol 200 mark.
  14. Hi! I was sleeved on dec 30th too. I just wanted to say I think u are doing fantastic!! I can't guzzle water but I can take a mouthful and swallow then again and again. Hit liquid goes down better for me. I'm not getting my full 80 g in protein though. I'm working on that. I've only gotten sick on catfish (1.5 oz) and egg salad. It sounds like u are doing everything right. Post often I'm interested in those that share my sleeve bday! Lol
  15. thank you Charlie it was goes with it but I'm certain we are all gonna get there sooner or later. Today I washed my truck, did the grocery shopping, planned out some meals, went thru my closet and tried on pants. Found a few that are too big now so I'm feeling better. Thank u for the kind words. It'll be here before u know it! I look forward to reading your journey.
  16. 27 days post op 18 lbs lost since surgery dec 30th 45 lbs lost total Stall started on Jan 18th Currently on day 8 of stall. Apparently this is very normal and I should not freak out because they happen to everyone and it's the body just trying to adjust. Keep in doing what I'm supposed to do and it will pass...... FREAKKKKKKKK OOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT OMG !!!!!!! THIS SUXXXXXXX!!!!!!! SO CLOSE TO UNDER 200lbs UGGGHHHHH (stomps feet in a full on fit and total melt down) Ok wheww moving on.... Sorry u were not spared lol
  17. 27 days post op 204 lbs Not much to post about lately cause I've been stalled now for a week. I hit the dreaded three week stall at 18 days out. Im going to have to get back to my Protein requirements because I've noticed since I started eating normal food I'm barely getting anything in. Last night hubby wanted sea food which I'm not a huge fan of but I like catfish and figured that would be a great source of protein. I made catfish, shrimp, fried okra, and red Beans and rice. I put a carefully measured three ounces of catfish on my plate and a tablespoon of tartar sauce. That was two fillets... I managed to eat one. So my dinner was 1.5 oz of fish. I should have stopped at one ounce I guess cause it sat there and sat there and I ended up getting sick live and learn I guess. As much as I'm sick of Protein Shakes I better just do it.
  18. hi, not sure if u are asking me or not but if so I have blue cross blue shield if Tennessee.
  19. very excited for you! Had my tonsils out when I was five. Parents kept bringing me ice cream but I didn't want it lol
  20. I had to pay 960.00 plus my deductible. Still way better than twenty thousand though
  21. I had to look over my stuff but I couldn't find any iron goals just protein, cals, and water.
  22. dammit girl! We have about the same starting stats. I'm only 3 weeks out though. I am hoping I end up like your after pic! Wow
  23. Very cute! You've done amazingly well. What a inspiration u are! Lmao @ duck face why do they do that?! Lol
  24. it didn't for me but u may have a more sensitive tummy with spicy stuff. Everyone is different but hopefully it will be good. Tasted like heaven after all the liquids lol The red beef u may need to wait on but mine said for mushies the meat had to be super tender. With the roast the soupy part is sinful even without the meat
