Have someone rub it up towards your neck in hope to burp it out. Maybe neck/shoulder exercise?

I'll be honest, I'm 3 months out and down 40 lbs. I'll indulge, no where near as much as I use too (weekly basis). Maybe once a month. For example a mc griddle meal. I'll take off the top part of the griddle and eat a half in one sitting. 3 hrs later the other have, 3 hrs later the hash brown. Instead of pop or juice I get a large cup of Water. I'm a realist, I'm human and like to treat myself every now in then. I don't have the weekly cravings which is amazing!

Good luck to you. That's my birthday =)

This is a first for me! Your only 6 months, you have several months before you completely stop. Let us know your outcome after your meeting good luck!

I use to be super regular same time every morning like clock work pre surgery. Now post, I don't eat no where as much as I use to. 2 1/2 months out every 3-4 days is regular.

2 months I lost about 33 lbs. I had 3 stalls in the process.

How are you doing with your Vitamins? My dr had me in 3; multi, D, and b complex.

I go out maybe 3x wk. I'm about 6 wks out. I can get full off a cup of Soup or eat half an appetizer. My immediate fam knows. But if I'm not with them I tell whoever I ate before I came or have another eating engagement and want to eat light.

Normally were so busy talking for them to notice I barely ate anything.

I feel great! I'll b 4 wks tomorrow. I only took 1 wk off work. To be honest I haven't been doing well with my Water, Vitamin schedule, and Protein shakes. But I still have energy, and know my body enough to know when to sit down.

Right now I'm down 24 lbs. =)

My doc subscribed me pain meds (hydrocodone) after surgery. I used it to get through my episodes....it worked wonders!

I recommend you get in contact with your surgeon hopefully he can put you back on track. Good luck!

Surprisingly in 3 days I lost around 7 lbs.

Posted is highest weight, dos weight, and 3 days after surgery weight.

I recommend you visit nashanutrition.com and order sample packets. Or try a local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. Good luck!

In my case of jumping through hurdles I found out I had sleep apnea. I was sleeved 3/14, as of today I'm 20 lbs lighter. My sleep study dr told me at a recent follow up dr if I loose 20 more lbs within 5 months I need to reschedule another sleep study to get my pressure re evaluated.

Generally once you loose 25% of your body fat within 6 month time frame you have to meet with your dr and they will determine if you need to stay on. Good luck!

My first food on my puréed phase was fried eggs! I added a lil cheese to give it a boost of Protein. I honestly got tired of tuna and chicken salad in the first few days. My go to is thin sliced cucumbers. It gives a crunch factor I miss when I ate chips.< /p>

Thanks for asking. I'm doing very well. Surgery went perfect according to my surgeon. I'll be 3 wks out tomorrow. Down about 20 lbs or so. I started working out to T25 my muscle mass is increasing already =).

I purchased mine from Sams. Everyday I have a Premier Protein shake for breakfast and a premier Protein bar in the evening when I get the munchies. Combined it equals 58 grams which is close to my minimum goal of 60 grams per day.

I'm 16 days out. I haven't had nausea or any complications. My dr advanced me on stage 3 four days early because my sleeve was doing well.

The trick is small bites, chewing 25-30 times while mixing it with saliva in your mouth. It sounds gross but it makes the food go down much easier!

Good luck

I'm a meat eater. Are you meeting your Protein goals?

6 weeks out today. Lost 2 pounds this week for a total of 28 pounds (10 pre/18 post). Those 2 could have taken some buddies with them. Okay, not complaining. I'll take the 2 and be happy. Second day back at work now and the new challenge is getting in enough Protein and Water through the day. I pack for Breakfast, lunch and Snacks. Yesterday I didn't finish lunch and today I never ate a snack. And water is even worse. I'm only getting through a full 16 oz bottle and a little of a second. This makes evening challenging, so much more to take in to make the base numbers. Yesterday I only got to 60 oz water and that was pushing it. Today I've only gotten 24 oz water and 38 g protein and it's already nearly 5:30. I go to bed around 9. Ugh. On the plus side I've got the meds/vits plotted out well and all taken. Baby steps.

Today was my first day back. I was overwhelmed by playing catch up. I forgot about my water and Vitamin schedule . Tomorrow is a new day!

I started my journey 6/13, and was sleeved 3/14. Only people I told was my mom, husband, 1sister, and two older kids.

I have two other sisters and family who I decided not to tell. I do not intend on telling them either. Just my personal choice because I'm not really close. My reasoning, you didn't care enough to intervene when I was obese, why include you in my choice to do something about it??

I don't need negative nannies (family/friends/acquaintances) in my life passing judgement or asking me questions I don't care to respond to. They can see my success from the sideline .

Go to their website and type in your zip code. Walmart, sams club, costco, Kroger, and Meyers sell near me. They sell fairly quickly and is out if stock often. I think Amazon sells them too.

That's wonderful U were able to vacation with keeping your eye on the prize. CongrAts!

I'm 10 days out today. Returning back to my management desk job this Wednesday (by choice). My dr will allow 1-12 wks off case by case.

I'm looking forward to it!!
