Onederland here I come!
Thanks for doing another challenge Susan.

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Friday November 7, 2014. From there on after, weigh ins will take place Fridays. Last weigh in will be Friday January 2, 2015. This will allow a total of 9 weigh ins in all. I will post the link for the spreadsheet once its the week of. I know this challenge will be hard for a lot of people including myself because of three major holidays. I want everyone to enjoy this time with their family and friends.. This challenge is to help us make healthy food choices during this time.
Few reminders
You will know it is updated once I have liked your post. Please post weigh ins here in this post only. We are all here to support each other..so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help. If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post. if you miss a weigh in...no biggie. Just report back in the next week. But If you missed three or more weigh ins, i will amuse that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from spread sheet.
Have fun with this! Challenge yourself in new ways! Join us for the Holiday Challenge!

hi mskiesha29 - i did have success with using Milk of Magnesia. I took three tables spoons and went to bed and then took another tablespoon when i woke up in the middle of the night. By morning and with alot of trying... i got some relief. I think my mom summed it up best by saying that trying to have a movement after painkillers and a barium is like trying to pass cement. ive been fine ever since. Good luck.

Hi everyone. Well I was sleeved Aug 25th and I have been really lucky. Easily getting my liquids in no nausea and no real pain to speak of. My energy is ok.. im still on full liquids, but I did try some cottage cheese yesterday with no issues. It was nice to have something other than liquid. Ive lost 8lbs since surgery. Hope everyone is doing well.

Friday is my day!! I am so excited and scared at the same time!!!!! All the what ifs are driving me crazy! What if I just ate less? What if I just exercised more? What if I just ate better? What if I have complications? What if a doctor won't help me in the US if I do have complications? BUT WHAT IF THIS WORKS!!???!!!

Congrats Micky!!!
Sounds like things are going pretty well! And that's great you can eat yogurt again. By the way, since so many social gathering do seem to revolve around food, I bought this little doo-hickey and it works great at restaurants (since I still prefer to eat more solid, but mashed up foods. http://smile.amazon.com/Starfrit-093474-Swizzz-Prozzz-Chopper/dp/B00D1KZJRU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411491525&sr=8-2&keywords=starfrit
Great little hand operated chopper. You can put anything in it. Haven't tried a cheeseburger yet, but have tried black bean burgers with cheese.
My friends and even people I don't know don't seem to mind me using it. I get some funny looks from waiters and waitresses, but they get their tip, so what do they care.
Good luck going forward. My one-month surgiversary is tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,
So Yesterday was my Sugiversary and I could not be happier with how I am feeling.
The odd day of exhaustion and its sometimes been hard with the way your mind turns to negative thoughts or reasoning, but over all i have to say that as of right now this is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I have suffered my entire life with being hungry ALL THE TIME. Eating to the point of full for me was like eating for two. I can say that that is gone. I now get full after a few oz. of food and I actually feel satisfied.Don"t get me wrong "head Hunger still comes into play and I know it will be hard at times
ie. in social settings or missing foods that I will not be able to consume in mass quantities... but I have realized since I've started some of the soft foods this past few days that i think i may be able to eat more types of food items than i thought.. So far my stomach has behaved and not gotten angry about anything. **FINGERS CROSSED** the thought of eating foods that I have avoided tickles me to no end. Now when I say avoided... this was not due to nutritional value but due to them triggering my appetite. It was hell. Items like Yogurt would make me SUPER HUNGRY... Fat or no fat.. Full of Sugar or No Sugar. Greek or not greek my body just reacted liked an allergy. Today I can eat yogurt and no issue !!!! YAY
Anyhow. I'm being long winded. I just wanted to chime in say HEY AUGUST 2014 sleevers Hope everyone is doing well. Here are my stats from this past month, post op
Week 1 - 4 Lbs Lost
Week 2 - 0 Lbs Lost
Week 3 - 2Lbs Lost
Week 4 - 7Lbs Lost

I've also never had that 'oops I've have one spoonful too much feeling' either. Just get the feeling that what I've eaten is backed up to the bottom of my throat so I should probably stop. Anyone else similar to me ?
