  1. Totally agree!!! Congrats!
  2. Seems like a great and easy pre-op!! Good luck!
  3. Congrats!!!!! That is so exciting!
  4. I cannot even begin to imagine the frustration you're feeling. Hoping the surgeon's office gets it together asap!!
  5. You'll be able to sip down 3 oz in no time At the beginning though, it totally feels impossible. Congrats and good luck!
  6. Congrats!! That's so exciting to be that close to your surgery weight too!
  7. I have no advice, but I understand that feeling. I had a gaining weight freak out (last week at about 6 weeks out), so I totally understand.
  8. Sleeved May 15. Surgery weight was 280 and today I weighed in at 249
  9. I suck on a sugar free mint candy or chew some gum if I'm not having any gag reflex going on. Mint is what works best for me.
  10. Thank you for your responses everyone. I hate obsessing about this crap. I'll keep on trucking!
  11. I'm 6 weeks post op and I gained a pound this week I eat between 700-800 calories a day of all protein based foods. My carbs are below 40gms a day. I do my best to get my water in (as in, I sip non stop all day long) but usually get about 50oz in. I walk 3-4 times a week for 45 min at an incline. I'm frustrated I'm open to advice!
  12. I've been at a stand still for a few days and I'm so antsy to lose again. I understand. Congrats at the weight loss thus far!
  13. Looking fabulous!! Love your blog
  14. Totally understand your pain. Hope you can find something to at least feel pulled together tomorrow. Wishing you a quick wait for surgery!
  15. Full feels literally like you are to capacity. That if you took one more bite you know it'd come back up. You'll know what full feels like once you try it As for how much you can eat, for me it varies every time I sit down to eat. Sometimes I could do a few tablespoons and sometimes it was two small bites. You figure it out. I'm only a month out and I always end up putting some of what I serve myself in the garbage.
  16. Yes, there are several different anti-nausea medications that can be prescribed. I got several after surgery because the nausea was so intense. I'm not yet 9 weeks out so cannot give you advice there, but if it were me, I'd call my doctor for sure. Good luck - hope you start feeling better soon!
  17. Totally can see it in your face! YAY!!!
  18. I sure hope so because I do regularly!
  19. Totally not there yet, but what about some type of going back to the basics? food habits are incredibly difficult to break - enjoy the weight you have lost and remind yourself why you started the journey.
  20. Thank you for the PSA. Definitely a good reminder to chew my food more ...
  21. Congrats!!! You look fabulous!
