Post your starting weight and your goal and it will get added for you. : )

That's awesome!! I gotta weigh 210 tomorrow to hit my 10 lb loss I was 211 last sun b4 I left for camp! So here is hoping...

I found you! Hahah yeah!! Thanks for taking over!!!

I can't find it??

No scale!! Ugh !!! Camping.. Can I post it on Sunday night?? Haha figures the last one!!

I call my stalls my condensing time!! Haha even though the scale isn't moving my body is shrinking... I believe your body is just using some time to condense itself! Hahah makes me feel better any ways! ; )

I'm in the same boat! Getting discouraged! I will go a week with nothing then 2 lbs then nothing and I am eating 1/10 if what I used to!! Hah I ha my fitness pal set at 600 but have upped it to 800 thinking maybe I wasn't eating enough!?? I wish I could speak to a nutritionist!

I'm only two months out but I hit a three week stall after the 3rd week!! I call it my condensing stage! Haha I lost so much so fast my body needs to readjust itself! I wasn't losing pounds but I was shrinking!

I was sleeved April 23rd and I only eat 4 oz of food. I have a bunch if 4oz containers... If it doesn't fit I don't eat it! I wasn't able to eat meat until the 6th week out! I could only have fish the 3rd 4th and 5th week!!

Nothing has been worse for me... The first day after surgery was the hardest only because I didnt walk enough after surgery but once I got a shot of the good stuff Which the doc said was a one time deal I walked walked walked and the gas pain got much much better!! I was sleeved on 4-23 and everything after that point went pretty smooth. I haven't gotten sick or nauseous once! Each new stage of food was Om nom nom nom hahAHAH I did hit a three week stall after the third week but even though I didn't lose pounds I lost inches. I call it my condensing time! Hahh I measure everything!! I got some two ounce plastic cups at first then when I could eat more I got some four ounce containers from Tupperware. If it doesn't fit I don't eat it! Hah only because I am a a fast eater! I never got in and still don't get much water as they want in but I do my best! I downloaded my fitness pal and try and make sure I get enough protein! I eat protein first then veggies most times!! I have had a slice if pizza a few times... Small piece no crust! I was setting my calories at 600 because that's about all I could get in. But I hit another stall.. I'm on it now so I upped it to 800 and found some protein bars called pure protein and eat half and them half later as snacks!! They are chocolate and a disciples treat! That's about it for now but I haven't had any problems (knock on wood) that others have had! I hope you have as good a luck as me! I lost 20 pounds pre op and I lost 38 pounds so far post op total 58! I have 13 more to hit wonderland!!! Yeah!!

I really don't know?? I keep doing the same thing.. I think... My body just took some time to readjust because although the scale wasn't moving I did get smaller... I have named it my condensing stage!!! Haha

212 blah!! One more week!!

No ... But it will save a list if foods you have had before... You can scan the item if you have a bar code. If you have a computer you can also go on that to the myfitnesspal.com web site and log in and search and add food to the saved list that way. Then it will show up in the list on your phone when you search!

OMG I had a three week stall!! It sucked!! Haha but I was just not losing weight... I think iit was like I was condensing! Hahaha no worries you will move the scale again! Give it time!

Get yourself a box if Chike ice coffee and some protein shake packs!! They are yummy and taste great mixed with just water!! That's a month out and I was on soft foods then! Soft veggies... Pasta... Eggs... I was lucky I had no issues after the first week whatsoever... I even started at the gym after the first week!! Bring your vitamins!! You will have an awesome time! That's just about when I started feeling normal!! Haha ENJOY!

You look fabulous! I was sleeved 4/23!! Have you hit any stalls? I'm stuck at 212 now!! 38 lbs lost since surgery! I would love to hit onederland by October just in time for my sons wedding!!

April 23rd Highest weight: 270 Surgery weight: 250 Current weight: 212 Can not wait to hit onederland!!!! Getting in about 80 grams of Protein a day 600 to 800 calories a day! No problem eating anything... Mainly stick to protein and some veggies!

I am between 600 to 800 calories. I was thinking this was too low! Haha I was sleeved 4/23 and have lost 38lbs. I was thinking I was a slow looser. I went through a three week stall.

Do you know if there is anything closer to the Saratoga area? I really am looking for someone who can answer all of the many questions I have and see what others have done,

I found some snap pea crisps that are really good too! They have the texture of cheese doodles but are healthy and delicious! Protein as well!!

I measure everything out before I eat it! That way I don't over fill my new tummy!!! I too am a fast eater but I have never gotten sick as I limit what goes in by measuring! First stages I had plastic 2oz cups with lids now I have 4oz Tupperware cups with lids that I fill and grab!! The only thing I don't measure is watermelon... Cause I seem to be able to eat a lot if it.. And Greek yogurt.. Probably because it's a slider food and I can eat the whole 5.3 I container! : ) I was sleeved 4/23 and have lost 57 all together!

Congratulations! Good luck on your journey! I was sleeved 4/23 and am still figuring out things! Haha I love this site!! I take what people have for advice and their experience and try and make sense of what I am going through! It helps knowing others have the same experiences!! Like when I hit a three week stall. It wasn't as aggravating after I found out its normal and most people hit them at some point! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

I haven't had anything bother me.. I must have a cast iron sleeve! Haha I can sit and eat watermelon for days! It's 90% water anyway! At least up to now I haven't come across anything that really bothers me. As long as I measure everything I have been lucky I guess! Down 57 pounds and only hit one three week stall!

I am off all restrictions and I was sleeved 4/23. The only things my doc said to avoid are calorie drinks... Carbonated drinks... Eat three meals a day with one afternoon snack... Protein first then veggies.. Carbs if room but hardly ever is. I measure everything!! I have 4oz cups I use so I do t over eat because I tend to eat quickly. It works! No drinking 30 min before or after meals.. I questioned myself too as to calorie intake as I had downloaded my fitness pal to keep me on track and people were telling me 600 to 800 calories wasn't enough but I asked around people on here and majority was the same so ... Can't wait for my three month follow up in July! So many question for my doc but I think we will all do ok if we follow doctors orders!! I did have a small sliver if carvel ice cream cake for my hubby's birthday! Haha oh well... Still human!

You will not regret it! I am so much healthier and happier.. Not gonna say it was easy but it wasn't horrible either! It was well worth the small amount of discomfort for a few days!! I'm not ravenous any more... I get full quickly... I find myself choosing better food because I know I can only eat so much! I started in feb.. Lost 20 pre op... Was sleeved on 4/23 and am down 37 more pounds! I can fit into a 16 and an XL!! I haven't hit onederland yet!! That's my next goal!! I hit a horrible three week long stall from week 3 to week 6. The scale didn't move but my body shrunk! It was weird! Haha Don't weigh yourself every day!! The scale doesn't tell the whole story!! ; ) Good luck on your journey! You will love your new tummy!! I Do!!
