Glad I'm not alone, which you feel like when other people have dropped 40 pounds or more and they drop weight daily! I was sleeved 7/24 and down 20 since surgery. Feel like I'm losing at a snails pace, lol. HW 295, dropped 7 in the week before surgery. Sleeved at 288 and 268 now. Been holding at the 268 since Sunday so it appears I'm in another stall. Think I need to take the advice of hiding the scale.

268 this morning. Unless a miracle happens this week, I'm not going to hit my goal of 260.

I definitely get impatient with the rate of my weight loss. I try to remember that I'm 59 years old and have been on synthroid since my thyroid was irradiated years ago (due to uncontrollable Graves Disease.) It has become clear that any white carbs cause me not only to stall, but to actually see a slight gain. However, the reason I chose to post as a success story is that I did the math today and in 2 months I am more than 1/3 of the way to my goal. Now that seems like something to crow about!

My stall broke! 271 this morning.

My stall broke! 271 this morning.

Baby lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots = no problem at all. Sprinkled with feta and a good quality balsamic vinegar is HEAVEN! I was craving salad something fierce.

I'm eating between 800-1000 on a regular day, getting all Water and Protein + healthy veggies, bike & treadmill 5+ days/week, and am down 50 lbs since pre-op.

276 this morning

I must be the odd ball here, I can't stand the Unjury brand. Ordered the sample pack and tried the chicken Soup, strawberry, vanilla and mixed unflavored with crystal lite. There is a smell to all of them that makes me want to gag.

278 today.

Thanks for the replies. I'm only a little over a week out and hoping someday i will get to the point where shakes are not needed. I know that is far away for me! I really can't stand the shakes, they make me gag. Keep my fingers crossed that the Protein Bars sit better with me when I get to the stage that I can start having them.

July 24th for me.
I keep flipping between being really excited to get this done and then I catch myself thinking "OMG, are you seriously going to do this". Date can't get here soon enough so I this can stop.

Today. 285

I feel the same about Unjury...that is the whey smell and I have trouble with a lot of them for that smell/aftertaste. It's why I do a blend shake rather than pure whey typically--Syntrax Matrix is my go to.

I was sleeved Wednesday of last week. I am feeling better and better every day, it really is amazing! I can drink much more today than yesterday. Starting to feel more and more that this was the right decision for me. I would live to be friends too!

I was sleeved yesterday and last night they started to give me pills for pain. Came home today and was told to continue to take all my medications I was taking before surgery. Have downed about 6 pills so far. Just be careful how much Water you take it with. If intake too much water with the pills it feels like it gargles going down and then I have to burr. Hoping taking the pills gets easier soon.

I bought a body pillow for at home & it was a lifesaver last night (first night home)! I highly recommend if you are a side sleeper.

Thanks! I just got released! Hoping to get rid of some of the gas now. Good luck to you!

My mother in law suggested a girdle, so I cut out the crotch and it's a life saver, holding the tummy in and out of bed! Highly recommend it! I was sleeved on Monday.

Cards fan,
I was sleeved yesterday too, surgery time was 7:30 and I was discharged at 10am today. My stomach is more gassy and sore today. I'm on Clear Liquids until Sunday, then I start full liquids. Trying to get some Protein in since I got home, it's a really slow go. I'm glad to be home, hardly slept at all in the hospital.
Hope you get released soon. I had my husband bring a pillow when he picked me up today, it was a real lifesaver for the ride home.
Good luck to you

Hi guys, I was sleeved yesterday. Still in hospital but should be getting discharged soon if I can successfully hold down a half liter of Fluid. So
Far, lots of soreness at the top of th abdomen and lots of trapped gas! So far I have lost about 10 lbs from the pre-op diet and can't wait to go home to get started!

Surgery date 1/23/14 60 pounds later

I've only told a couple people about my surgery so I have not heard this yet. However I'm glad I've seen this post so I can plan my reply. Im thinking of going with "they probably gained it back because they were a negative Nancy like you"
