Sorry for being late on my 11 week check-in, I was in Baltimore for the holiday weekend. 1) Height / weight starting our wls programs: 5'4" 289lbs 2) Weight day of surgery: 281 3) 11 week post op weight pounds lost/gained: 249, lost 5lbs! 40lbs total 4) Goal weight: 140 5) Your biggest success this week: I flew in the plane and for the first time the seatbelt fit comfortably and I was able to pull the strap a good 6" to tighten it. My hips didnt overlap to other seats and I was very comfy sitting in the middle seat as well! I wanted to cry cause that was such a major accomplishment to me cause I travel alot and it felt so good fitting in that seat finally! I am also another size smaller for my tops, Im a 1X now...I was a 3X before surgery. I have accomplished so much these past couple weeks, Im up to 2 miles of walking! 6) Your biggest struggle this week: I cant really think of one, everything has been going well for me this week.

I agree Bluesea we have had a decline. I know Im late checking in, been so busy. Happy 9 week everyone! 1) height / weight starting our wls programs: 5'4, 289 2) weight day of surgery:281 3) weight 9 week post op / pounds lost/gained: 254 4) goal weight:140 5) your biggest success this week: being able to increase my walking distance outside 6) your biggest struggle this week: havent lost any weight this week, hoping this stall doesnt last long

1) height / weight starting our wls programs, 5'4" 289lb 2) weight day of surgery, 281 3) weight 8 week post op / pounds lost/gained: 254 (lost only 1lb cause of my period I suppose) 35lbs total!!!! 4) goal weight: 140 5) your biggest success this week: I fit into size 18 pants...being able to add "decline pushups" to my workout, I do about 130 crunches daily, walking little better. 6) your biggest struggle this week: trying to walk long distances, did like 2 blocks before my leg and back gave out but thats ok I will continue trying. Im also aiming to lose 3lbs weekly, didnt reach that goal this week I guess cause I had my period so Im hoping I will lose 3lbs for next checkin! Don't say you CAN'T do something until YOU TRY!

You will not fail. This wont be like the other diets. This is a tool that will help us succeed! Best of luck to you Karla!

Yes it will get better. I am 7 1/2 weeks post op. Sometimes Im just not hungry I can skip a meal but I dont. We need all the nutrients we can get. So just remember get your protein and water in everyday even if your not hungry. Good Luck!

Ok I've got a new motivational update question we should all share! What size clothing were you before & after (currently) surgery? "Before" -shirt size=3X -pants size=22 -bra size=44C "After" -shirt size=2X -pants size=18 -bra size=42C Answer the ones you only know

Butterflypinup, I cant even lie I read your post yesterday and I started to reply but I couldnt figure out what to say to you. I feel for you, we all went thru our own obstacles with this surgery but I have to be honest with you...how is it possible that you vomit everyday? Have you told your Dr, cause this cant be normal. Its been almost 2 months since surgery and nausea and vomit shouldnt even be in the picture anymore. I have you in my prayers and I hope you start to feel better and be able to eat more solids. I hope you are seeing your Dr soon for another follow up. Please keep us posted. I know its hard to see it now but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for you.

Hi Karla, welcome to our group! When did you have your surgery? I had a 2 week stall last month so I know how you feel. But thats what it is, a stall. You will get past it and continue losing in your journey! Keep ya head up there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Happy Seven Week Sleeviversary everyone! Its check in time! Im surprised no one posted this earlier, come on fellow sleevers lets keep it going! 1) height / weight starting our wls programs, 5'4 289lbs 2) weight day of surgery, 281 3) weight seven week post op / pounds lost/gained, 255lbs lost 4lbs this week thats 34lbs total! 4) goal weight-140 5) your biggest success this week, continued my exercising daily and feeling so great doing it and also my bm's are consistant and without pills 6) your biggest struggle this week, cant handle spicy food just yet

Today I ate curry chicken for the first time and I DID NOT handle the spiceyness quite well. Hubby loves to cook spicy food and since Ive never had a problem with the way he cooks I thought I could handle it. Boy was I wrong, good thing I stopped after 2nd bite otherwise I think I wouldve been kissing the toilet. Have you guya tried spicy foods as yet?

Mysleeve I dont think you should feel obligated to tell the girl the truth about your surgery. Of course its your choice but at the same time dont feel guilty for not telling her, you have a right to your privacy. Ive been working for the past 3 weeks and alot of people have asked me the same questions, except no one has asked me if I have had surgery. I tell them all the same, high protein diet, no junk food and lots of water lol

Ok so Saturday's dinner with hubby and friends was awesome! I ordered a burger and only ate 1/4 of it and half a cheesestick! It was so yummy and I didnt gain an ounce from it. So as u can see it is true we will be able to eat those favorite foods every once in a while. Its just all about portion control. We were there for 3 hours so I was able to munch on like 3 fries as well and thats it. My drink was a tall ice cold glass of water! LOL I told my 2 besties to take a drink for me. Anyone had a nice going out to eat treat lately, if so what did you eat?

So, today hubby and I are getting together with our close friends and going out to dinner. They all know about my surgery and very supportive. Im looking forward to actually dressing up nice for the first time in a long time. Im also contemplating if I should even order my own dish, given that I will only eat a few bites anyway lol Yesterday I tried steak for the first time it was yummy and I got full with just 3 bites.

Anyone have problems with Tuna the first time they tried it and then tried it again a few weeks later? How was it the 2nd time? Ive been thinking about trying again but after feeling so bloated and nauseas the 1st time Im just afraid to try it again.
