Almost forgot to weigh in - been a busy week. Spent most the week stalled. CW 225. I think that's a loss of 2 lbs. maybe I lb this week but the scale is moving again and it's 25 total lbs in a month since surgery so I think that's pretty darn good.

No carbonation for me!! I just want my jack on ice again! Hahah gonna wait another month after my next doc appointment!

My surgeon doesn't do lap bands any more. I went either sleeve because I knew that a smaller stomach would be an asset for me. Didn't was the gastric bypass even though it would have been covered. 67 and am now below goal. Wish I had it done earlier.

I went with the sleeve because diets are temporary and 23 years of failure was enough for me. I wanted something permanent and I know myself well enough to know that I didn't want to compromise on this issue. I was lucky in that my op was paid for by my insurance so cost was not a factor. Best of luck to you either way you decide.

I'm supposed to be sleeved by Dr. Lopez July 22 and I was really having second thoughts.. You just made up my mind... Thanks I'm going back on low carb until I can have it done in the U S A..

I am now nearly 5 weeks out.
Have always used wine in gravy so continued this in puréed foods 2 weeks out with no ill effects.
Waited until 4 weeks out to try a glass of red. ( well half glass). It did go to my head quite quickly but all was ok.
Everything in moderation is my moto

I am almost two months post op.... Have never been sick.... Eat so much healthier than I ever have.... Kind of forced to since you can only eat so much. I am healthier than I have been in a long time. Have dropped a total of 56 ponds and am now comfortable going to the gym. I actually feel like it is doing something where as before I would just eat that much more!! Haha don't let other people's fears stop you! The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner!!!! Best thing besides my kids and husband that ever happened to me!! It's not an easy journey but once you get past the post op diets ect. And can eat normal your friends will see that it was the best decision you could have made!! Because they will see that you are making better food choices so you can meet your daily requirements!! Protein.... Vitamins.. Ect.

Ive been averaging 600-650. I am only 6 weeks out. I concentrate on Protein. I lose more if i get plenty. Congrats on the loss.

Leaving for the hospital in 15 minutes... Gotta be there for 1030!! So excited to start my new life! Updates to come! Please feel free to share your journeys as well!! It's nice when you know you aren't going through it alone!

7 weeks from when I left the hospital... 36 lbs down.... 56 all together!! Confused about how many calories I should be shooting for?? Using my fitness pal. Have 600 but everyone keeps telling me that's too low?? Anyone??

That was after my 8 week post op :-)

As always, my apologies if I missed anyone!

214 Lbs'

I really want to try the Chike Iced Coffee! I miss my coffee so much. I had low potassium levels and was put on K-Tabs (potassium supplement) for two weeks. Got my levels re-tested last week and they're back to normal. Now to keep them up... Lol

Thanks for the explanation. I had no idea what it was. I hope it doesn't happen with fruits. I expect to go on soft foods next week.

216 today

Try mixing done of the Isopure with a sugar free Gatorade, you get your hydration and Protein, it helps to mask the taste.

Sorry about the lack of make up!! Getting ready at 3am is tough but I'm here and ready for this incredible day!!!!

I was sleeved on 4/23... I have been the same weight for two weeks now!!! Getting frustrated... Anyone have the same issue and what can I do to get it moving again?? Ugh!!!

Good luck today everyone!! Remember... Walk walk walk!!!!

You are by no means a failure!! Everyone reacts differently the first few weeks are the hardest! Next month you will start to feel normal! It's so worth the aggravation!! I was sleeved 4\23 and Just came off a three week stall!! Talk about aggravating! The scale is moving again 4 lbs down in two days! I finally made it to an XL!! yeah! Hang in there it gets better!!

Finally broke my stall!! It was weird though because my clothes were getting loose even though My pounds weren't going down! My size 20 jeans I bought are getting loose!! Woot! Clearance jeans! lol I would just wear my stretchy shorts but I ride the motorcycle with the hubby so I need at least one pair of jeans! Going to wait until I fit into 16 to get another pair and hopefully these 20's will last till then! haha! Thanks for helping me through that!!

I agree.. I haven't seen any type of bullying with the threads I have been reading? I have learned so much from this site and have met a lot of kind helpful people. It made my post op and pre op phases so much easier!! It's hard because there is no voice inflection in typed words and just like text sometimes they are misunderstood. I would certainly hope this is the case.

Mean people suck! But they are out there and sometimes don't even realize they are being mean! Take it with a grain of salt. The helpful kind people FAR outweigh (No pun intended) the mean ones! ; ) I have gotten so much help during my journey on here!! I am so happy I found this site!
