I had a NSV this weekend. I wore a Ralph Lauren size 14 dress to my bridal shower. I started this journey a size 22. I'm 2 lbs away from losing 60 lbs!

WTG!! Did they recognize you at your shower, lol?

Haha there was a lot of "Omg" the best part was feeling beautiful and confident as I begin this next important stage of my life. But I tooj pictures with everyone haha!

Same!! I am getting my tail in gear again. I was sleeved on 10/14 and have lost 45 pounds. I have 32 pounds until i hit onederland. Need to refocus and not be bummed that I am in a stall but keep moving forward

I'm having the same problem!!! It makes me feel so discouraged

Jstrong, that had to feel amazing. How much have you lost? Did you day yes to s dress:)

it was amazing, I did Say Yes to tge Dress and I was even at Kleinfelds in NYC!! I have lost 40 lbs so far.

I had the BEST NSV today, I went wedding dress shopping and I did not need to buy a plus size gown and the dress designer was in the store and said I had a fabulous skinny waist. I have never felt more beautiful or confident. I am even more excited to get married now!

Well this isn't FAIR!! I didn't get to eat huge portions like that EVER and I still got fat!! Wth?! I don't even drink soda! Dang my moms, moms, grandmas moms , genes!

same!! I just think even if I got their rotten weight genes I have my mom and grandma's brains and heart too.

I was sleeved by Dr Trivedi in October!!

i had gastric sleeve on 10/14 and i am craving potatoes...wanted to know when everyone else was allowed carbs?

I've had potatoes alot, when my sleeve has been angry they are one of the few things that I have handled,with no problems at all. But like all things now, eat in moderation

How are people's experiences with apples or clementines? They are my fav fall fruits snd I feel like they would be good as a dessert snack at night when I need a little something or to have in my bag when I am at the library tutoring and don't get home until 8 pm

Hello all! What are people eating these days? I feel stuck in a rut and not breaking 500 cals most days i just don't know what to eat, I have my fill of refried Beans and mashed potatoes for a lifetime. I'm in the mechanically soft food stage according to my surgeon's program. I will be 6 weeks out on Tuesday.

U know im having 2nd thoughts about whether i ruined my whole life by deciding to do this surgery ! Nd i hate it when i think this way. I guess ill just still to yoghurt, potato nd eggs till i get started on my solid food.< /p>

I've been feeling down in the dumps too and a little skim milk warmed with a little cocoa powder made me feel normal tonight and a little better. Hope things get better for you!

Im one month post op. Im going through a really dull phase. Im so depressed. Not enjoying anything in life. Everytime i hear of food i get nausea. Its been a couple of days where im not having enough fluids nor food nd im soooooo tired !! I work as a nurse. So yesterday i had this night shift where i could barely every work. My friends hung an iv for me. Im so dizzy, tired, just wanna sleeep, nd do nothing else ! This nausea is killing me. I didnt have it before. Its just making things worse..

I just wish i didnt get myself into this surgery. Its ruining my whole life.

I cant even stop crying :"(

i am having the same exact problem and I am a month out too!! I wasnt nauseous before this and I am really getting depressed.

@@Jennifer Rogers Oh I understand! I just heated up some Campbell's French onion Soup (strained it) and added Protein powder to it and it's Really good! Do you like French onion soup? You wouldn't even have to strain your at this point. I haven't tried any other brands but this Campbell's is delicious! Good luck I hope this passes for you!

what protein powder do you use? I'm tryidng to find one I like.

I'm 3.5 weeks out I am on puree/soft food.

I am having the same problem. I'm having trouble getting more than a few bites of anything down.

I haven't called them yet, i have gone back done to soft purees today and everything has been okay so far so I think I was doing too much too soon.

Thanks @kathy812. This week has been a crappy one. I have been fine up until I have started soft food and hav w either felt nauseous or thrown up after every meal. I know part is I have to eat slower but I am getting really frustrated and wondering if I just made a huge mistake

When are we allowed to eat salad and raw veggies again. I miss salad.

I also leave the house in the morning by 630 am the latest

How are people getting their workouts un? I am a teacher, most days i dont have time to eat at work and so I am always tired and by the time I get home normally around 6 or 7pm after meetings and work the thought of spending another hr away from my fiance, friends, or pjs. I'm really struggling and I feel like a failure. I'm hoping this is just a passing phase.

I am about 3 weeks out and have been fine up until yesterday and now everything and anything i eat except popsicles makes me feel sick. Anyone else experiencing/experienced this?

I'm from Albany

Mexican..... Chili relleno with refried Beans or street tacos

Thai....satay, or any of the curry dishes and just eat the meat and veggies, no rice or noodles. I've also had fresh spring rolls (my tummy doesn't care for fried stuff, so egg rolls are out.). The only thing I miss is pad Thai.

Chinese....sesame chicken, egg foo young, garlic chicken, beef and broccoli, etc and just eat the meat and veggies, no rice or noodles.

Italian....chicken parm and scraped off a lot of the breading. Or spaghetti with meatballs and just ate the meatballs

At other restaurants I've had a gyro (ate just insides with a fork), steak and steamed veggies, Soup of the day, bbq brisket with coleslaw....pretty much anything, just staying away from the starchy sides.

i love Pad Thai and I found a recipe on pinterest for spaghetti squash chicken pad thai, i cant wait to try it so i can enjoy pad thai again.
