2 month post-op appt this morning. doctor was very happy w. my progress! may get another fill in 4 weeks.
-
Got my first fill today. I had 5cc at the time of surgery, and they put 2cc. YAY!! Wasn't bad at all.

1 lb away from BMI under 40 & 3 lbs away from 50 lbs lost! these mini-goals are keeping me SO motivated!

just realized i'm exactly 2 months post op! may 8th, 2014 was the best day of my life.

@Chelly brownies aren't something I eat daily. I've been eating low carb since I had surgery, and Fourth of July was the first day I left myself enjoy a treat. I have eaten any carbs (other than from veggies) since friday. Thanks for the concern tho.

NSV! Finally, finally, broke the 300 barrier!! It is a good feeling, but boy, there is a lot more to go...Whoooo hoo!

I cant follow my own advice and stay off the scale...but I lost another pound,so I'll take it!

HELP!! i was never a sweets lover, but ever since i got sleeved sweets is one of the things i can eat normally without throwing up.. i lost weight but most of it from my pre op diet.. i lost about 7 lbs the first two weeks then 1lb per week after. I am so scared that this surgery will fail for me. I read so many great stories. . i need help! im eating so bad.. mostly sweets. ii cant stop eating.. im constantly hungry.. i eat to vomit then eat again. I feel like i failled.. i waited so long for this and today i am eating worst than before the surgery. i need advice. has anyone experienced this?
-
try something like a quest bar. its sweet, taste like a treat(to me) and still has 20 grams of protein in a bar. its worth a shot. but like @terrydumont46 said, you should seek counseling.

finally broke past 266. just barely, but i still did it!

well the 5 lbs that i thought i lost due to the stomach bug was replenshished by the ER with IV fluids. gained 3.5 of it back. Talk about being dehydrated
Feeling mucho better, lots of fluids and soup today. Monthly follow up next week. This is going very slow!!! -
eating well, exercising hard, and the inches/pounds arent coming off. what gives? pre-band, i would have already started binging.
-
thanks @lisacaron .. i know the logical part of it.. just sometimes the emotional needs to catch up. i havent had many 'bad days' since surgery, but today i just feel so negative.

Took a walk for lunch, trying to clear my head. Weather here in NY is just absolutely gorgeous! Wish my attitude would change

GIRL! YOU HAD SURGERY 8 DAYS AFTER ME AND ARE AHEAD OF ME IN WEIGHT LOSS. Please do not get down on yourself!!! I'm struggling with slow weight loss post-mushies/softs, but I'm not trying to let that get to me. I lost 4 lbs in 4 days after my fill.. and haven't lost another pound since. YES its frustrating, but stick with it! Negativity leads to nothing but bad, in my case, binging and comfort foods. Please keep your head up! You got this!

@Junebug36 both.. but i was really big on carbonation pre-surgery too. i would drink those ICE carbonated zero calories waters or whatever just to get the carbonation when i was trying to "quit" diet coke.
