Well! I'm in worse than a stall. Lost 7 lbs in one week a few weeks ago and gained 4 lbs over the last two weeks. I have no idea how it can happen when I take in 700-900 calories a day. This week I'm focusing on lower carbs and I'll keep it moving. I know it must and will pass, but GEEZ…it's rough!

Hi, April! I think you're right on. I'm two months out and I'm down 43 pounds as of last week. My dr suggested that I'd lose about 50 in the firs three months and then it will slow down. Chin up!! You're doing great! And remember weight loss can vary so widely between people depending on so much it's hard to compare with others. Just know you're in the same range as I am. :-)

Feeling very grateful for my sleeve today. HW - 276 SW 12/18 - 274 CW - 233 Down 8 lbs this week!!! Goodbye 240's............

The Isopure drinks are the easiest to stomach for me. I especially like the alpine punch. They are clear liquids and have a lighter whey after taste. At GNC you can buy one and taste it. The run around $5 a bottle. I drink 1/2 a bottle a day.

Very cute!

Very cute!

Well it's cute!!!! And I hope easier to manage. I may follow you.

Love it!

CupofJojo, I would use this time to get organized and stay busy! Organize your closet since things change so quickly postop, clean out your pantry/fridge and give food away, try out protein supplements (not too many it can get expensive). It will go by fast though and it will be surgery day before you know it. Good luck to you! back2barb78, Excellent suggestions. Wish I had done that! Time goes by so quickly.

I'm wondering if anyone has subscribed to any WLS magazines and find them particularly encouraging and informative that they could recommend? It was great to see the online magazine on this site, but are there others? Thanks!

Snack, snack and snack! Too much of it. Not enough water, at all! I had kettle corn at the movies. I paid for it dearly. I had my first, and so far only, dumping moment! Needless to say, I won't be doing that again anytime soon. I also started my solid food phase a day early! Ugh! Sounds bad when I list it out. ????

I added you all to MFP. I'm stabuch. Thanks!
