    St. Patrick's Day Challenge

    First vacation ever that I actually lost weight instead of gaining! And it was nice to not worry about wearing my "fat pants" home! Current weight / 186.5

    Starting weight 193.5. Goal weight 183.5. ( if I could lose 10 lbs in 5 wks with one of those weeks on vacation I would be ecstatic!)

    Why Am I Still So Hungry?

    I'm 5 weeks out--and I'm hungry every two/three hours. I was hoping not to feel this way anymore. It's hunger with hunger pains and all!

    Yeah! 200.5 finally a few lbs down!
  10. Here is my story...]I am four weeks out and not feeling too happy about my decision! I'm in a rut I suppose! I'm either hungry or too full, and I have terrible gas all the time! Not only uncomfortable but embarrassing. And I haven't lost any weight since week 2. Will I ever feel normal?
  11. I am four weeks out and not feeling too happy about my decision! I'm in a rut I suppose! In the last few days I have started having pain in my left collar bone area. I'm either hungry or too full, and I have terrible gas all the time! Not only uncomfortable but embarrassing. And I haven't lost any weight since week 2. Will I ever feel normal?

    5 weeks out problem!

    Almost 4 wks out here...also struggling with liquids. Here is my question... I didn't drink 64 oz before surgery, is it really that important that I drink that much now?
  14. I had a really hard time with protein shakes/powders too. I have lots here that I will be giving to my NUT to offer as samples to others. However, I finally found CorePower -- it's light and smooth and my stomach and taste buds say OK! Vanilla I mix with hot chocolate mix in the evening! Strawberry/banana in the morning -- when I can. Don't give up! There is something out there for you!

    Stalled..So frustrating

    I said the same thing yesterday.. Did I do all this for 20lbs? I was sleeved on the 12/26. I haven't lost any weight in the last week and it's kind of scary. I try to do everything right.. I won't say I do because I know I mess up sometimes but really? Do these stalls happen to people losing weight other ways? I haven't heard or experienced it so I was just curious why with WLS?

    Weigh in... 203.9 This is the story of my life. Every diet I have been on my body fights hard to stay above 200. I am only 3 wks out... Purée and exercise... And I didn't lose anything this week? I was actually up two lbs Monday and Tuesday. I hope I didn't go through all of this for nothing.
  17. My husband stated every minute. It was great to know my other half was there when I was in and out from meds. He walked the halls with me and knows everything I know about what I went through! Wouldn't have it any other way!

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    I was prepared for a stall -- thanks to all the info available here, but why did I gain 2 lbs first?

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    Mine is ridiculous. I seem to be in a constant stall, then I'll lose a pound or 2, then back to stall. I'm still more than I am moving (scale). It will also go up a pound or 2, then crawl back down with ounces. I do feel I need to get a lot more water in. I get in about 56 ounces but I don't pee very much. I think we need water to help flush out what we're losing. I understand the stall and was prepared because of all of the great info here.. But why did I gain 2 lbs first?

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    Perfect timing! I was concerned because I started purée Saturday and this morning I was up 2 lbs. How does that happen?
  21. I had a really hard time with protein drinks. Finally, we found CorePower. It has 20 grams of protein (26 if you can't find the light version). The strawberry banana is so smooth. I had tried everything... Trust me these are good. No chalk taste, bitter or after taste. No bad smell. Wish I had them them my first two weeks!
  22. This is me right now! The first two weeks I felt pretty good. Now I'm exhausted after getting ready to go somewhere. Hopefully this too will pass... Starting purée foods this weekend so looking for a boost from that! Sleeved 12/26

    Today's weight-- 204.3
  24. I am 8 days post-op and am feeling pretty good! That is until today... I woke up mad! And I don't mean just a little mad, I mean uncontrollable mad. The biggest thing is I don't even know why. I feel like I'm just going to blow up at anyone that talks to me. Anyone else have this happen to them.
