  1. I am feeling great in body and mind but my spirit is starting to feel a little down. Within a few day of my surgery I dropped 20 pounds then nothing!! I know that we all seem to stall after the initial loss but I have actually gained 4 lbs back in the last couple of days inspite of the fact that I have increased my physical activity and severely decreased my eating!!! I'm starting to get concerned that I'm doing something wrong!!

      fat free, refried beans cold out of the can. I measure out 2oz and eat them with 1oz slice of turkey lunch meat. I think I need to increase my water, I have noticed that on some days I didnt even manage 30oz, so now my water comes first before I consume anything else!!

  2. Frustrated today. 3 weeks out and I've barely lost any weight and the scale hasn't moved for a week.

      Patience, patience, patience...this has been my mantra for the last 3 weeks!!! My scale has also stopped moving for the past 2 weeks!!! I have re-evaluated the way I am eating/drinking and I think I may not be drinking enough, so today I have started putting my water consumption above all else!! My suspicions tell me that this might be the cause of my stall, we shall see :)

  6. I saw my primary care physician today. My diabetes and hypertension are now resolved. He was so happy for me that I was touched.

  7. I started full liguids today and was able to drink an 8 oz protein shake. Is this normal?? I though our stoamch was suppose to only hold 4oz. I never got that full feeling!! Did I do damage?

      I drank a 16 oz protein shake but it took me 3 hours. I can definately feel the fullness after eating 2-3 ounces if I consume them too fast. Call your surgeons office and tell them your concerns, they are the best ones to put your mind at ease...Best of luck!!!

      Thank you!! I am thrilled to be sleeved and an ex-smoker :-) My Dr. had me on liquids for 2 weeks, pureed food from today to the 24th, then soft solids until my next appointment.

  9. Ok, so not only have I quit eating on June 27th but I have also quit smoking!!! It has been 13 days since my last cigarette and I have found today to be the most difficult as I am finding myself wanting to munch!! I am trying gum to keep my mouth busy and am about to take a walk...I refuse to eat or smoke, I CAN DO THIS!!!!

      No need for the gum as the walk took the edge off just fine, thanks for letting me know about the gum though Chelly!! Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes Babbs, Chelly and Hopeful!!!

  10. This afternoon while grocery shopping I could feel a sugar low coming on while I was checking out. I am still on liquids only but wanting to raise my sugar (and maybe cheat just a little) I opened a box of pretzel crackers and hummus and promptly shoved 4 crackers and 2 teaspoons of hummus in my face....I am feeling stuffed like a pig but my sugar is back to normal!! Grrrrrrrrrr :-/

      This as a lesson I learned within 10 minutes of my little cheat...Thanks for the pointers ladies, no more cheating in my future. I guess I just needed to see what I could get away with :-/

  11. Today I learned that if you drink your protein drink too fast you will no longer need a laxative...LOL
