I have tried tuna fish and catfish multiple times and I just cannot tolerate it anymore. It does not seem to go down - even after chewing it to death. Then I get sick to my stomach - really - not the foamy I ate to much.
I used to enjoy fish and it is high in Protein, so I guess it is now shrimp and chicken.< /p>
On a high point this week I hit my halfway goal and got myself (uncomfortably) into a size 16 pants - but a 16.
This is an amazing journey!

All I can say- WOW

I am doing great! I am down a total of 62 since the beginning of the journey - 48 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. I exercise at least 6 days a week. I still drink Protein Shakes because I can't get my Protein in otherwise.
Today is my 2 month follow up with my dr and I finally get to see a nutritionist! All I have been given was some papers on what to eat and not to eat. I do best with structure and meal ideas. I am ready to ask about carb intake, ketosis, etc.
I will post what I find out.

That is awesome!!! Congrats!!!!

One day shy of my 8 week mark and I am down a total of 60 pounds since I started this journey. I lost 14 during the 3 month monitored stage, 16 during the pre-op diet, and now 30 since my surgery!
It is truly amazing how different you feel when you get that much weight off of you! Excited to keep the process going!

Congratulations!! That is awesome!

Warmest congratulations! It's amazing how much the weight limited our lives, isn't it?
Here's to your continued success!

I had not thought about a book on this, so I just purchased the Kindle editin of "Emotional First Aid Kit".
But I think I am getting another one as well. You know how they like to suggest other books, well there is one for $3.99 Kindle only called "The Sleeved Life: A Patient to Patient Guide....."
It has favorable reviews and for only $3.99 I figure I will try it.
I will post more as I read it.

Congrats to you!!!! The surgery is a big step in getting control of our health!

I am sure people can tell, but it is more important that you know that the 3 is gone forever!!! Happy 1st Goal Day!

Yay!!! Happy New Year and Happy New You!

Yay!!! Happy New Year and Happy New You!

Congrats on no complications!!!!
I was sleeved 11-17 and have had mild complications - if that is even what you call it. I have been nauseated a few times and have thrown up 3x. first time was trying to find full - found it. 2nd time I ate and then was doing something where I was bent over - it just came right back up, 3rd - ate to fast. I feel very blessed. I know that spicy things give me heartburn - which I never have had before, but I can deal with that.
It is hard to believe that in such a short amount of time that I have changed my life for the better. Eating healthy and exercising and feeling great.
I snuck 3 Cookies as well. Felt very guilty, but not dwelling on it - moving on and exercising and eating protein!

Absolutely the best present ever!!!! Congrats!!!!

Nice collarbone! Mine is showing up as well. Funny, I had kind of forgotten about it.

So one of my good friends came over today. I haven't seen her in about 5 or 6 weeks because we have both been busy. Well, when I opened the door she was shocked!!!!! She started crying. I'm 12 weeks out and have lost 60 lbs. She said she was so happy for me and proud of me. She just could not get over the difference. This has finally made me see just what a change this is. I could see the scale and the clothes size moving down but the reaction from other people really makes it more real to me. Just wanted to share. I look forward to continuing to trend downwards but I'm feeling pretty good right now!

cross my legs for the first time in I don't know when. Years and years maybe.
And I purchased some new underwear - 2 sizes smalled. Maybe TMI, but to me it is a big deal.

This is one of those times I like being called a "Loser"!

Oh honey I am so with you! It's crazy I'm a leg crossing fool now because I had missed doing that! Makes me feel like such a lady! And new panties ha! Mine almost needed suspenders roflol. It's the simply joy that I get excited about. I'm dancing the happy dance with you singing " happy happy joy joy oh what a feeling" way to go looser :)
