Was you surgeon a gypsy?

I'm slowing too. Almost 8months out and have only lost 3 pounds in the last 6 weeks and have stalled for three or so. I'd like to lose 20 more too. I know I need to push it with exercise more. I guess we just keep on keeping on.

Lots of cottage cheese. I'm almost 8months out and it's still a huge staple. I eat it plain, with jarred peaches or with hot sauce almost daily. I love the Daisy brand. I hate Kraft.

That's totally inspiring! You look great! I'm in a 12 (started at tight 18), and hoping to get to an 8-6 ballpark. I'm 61/2 months out, I'm hoping to make it by a year! You've inspired me!

Wow, you look amazing! You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, I'll understand but I'm VERY curious, what size are you? You look like a 4-6.

It was inconsiderate of him to not get your Popsicles. RUDE!!! And you're right, my husband just didn't think about it, annoying, but human. Glad you got your Popsicles. Yay for other women;)

My pain meds made me super aggressive. I had little patience and the smallest things would REALLY piss me off. A few days out of surgery I left some beef broth sitting on the counter to come back to later and for some reason I'll never understand, our 15 year old son asked if he could eat it for snack, even weirder, my husband said yes. When I came back for it and he told me he had given it away I was FURIOUS! Now, it WAS thoughtless of him to give away something that wasn't his, especially since it should have been obvious it was mine being on all liquids and all. And we don't just have broth sitting around the house waiting to be eaten all the time..................but I shouldn't have thrown my cell phone at him in full force, or called him and my son thoughtless jerks............I had a couple other outbursts but that was the worst one. We figured out it was the pain meds and I switched to Motrin during the day and oxy at night so I'd sleep through the bitchiness. Gotta say, he was super patient with me. I do NOT miss that. Also, I'd be the worst drug addict ever.

I've been thinking about this too. I was sleeved April 15th and I'm down 67 hoping for 80 by Halloween, which is when my 6 month honeymoon phase will be over. I'm hoping to keep losing (just slower). My plan is Protein first, up the workouts, chew minty gum between meals to prevent grazing on the treats, and also, enjoy the holidays. I'll gave a few bites of my favorites and enjoy it guilt free. It's okay to do that in my book. And with the increase of energy I have now, I'll be more active and doing fun things instead of waiting around thinking about the next meal. OH...and I found if I wear tighter pants and get dressed up a little, it makes me eat less, even during football season. Hey, I'm from the south, football season is BIG! I get what you're saying. Good luck.

I have officially lost 100 pounds! I was giddy this morning when I weighed myself. I really wanted to hit the 100 lb mark before my 1 year surgiversary and I did it with a week to spare.
I'm so excited!!

I meant to say my husband was a little more GENTAL, lol. Love autocorrect!

I think we had sex like, 5-6 days after. I think it was less than a week and definitely less than 10 days. Pain meds controlled my soreness really well. I remember my husband being a little more ventral than necessary. Pretty sure it was a sort of modified missionary position situation. Anyway, it didn't take long for us to get back down to business and I had no ill side effects from it.

52 pounds at three months. Starting weight 243.

The article mentions Iron and that's what I was thinking (outside hydration). I would get lightheaded all the time when my iron was low and my daughter actually passed out several times after getting up when she was anemic and she's totally fit. When did you last have blood drawn?

Crock pot!!! Dump it in I the morning and it's nice and soft for dinner and leftovers for the next day. Pinterest is full of ideas. Also, cottage cheese is my currant favorite source of Protein (and it's complete protien). You can also do tuna and canned chicken. You don't have to rush into more solid foods, but chew really well and eat slow as you do progress. Good luck.

Quinoa chips!!! They're REALLY good, as good as regular chips and 9 grams of Protein and 130 calories. I found them last week at Burlington Coat Factory (I know, random) and I'm glad I tried them. Haven't looked for them in the grocery store yet but I'm betting on them not being too hard to find.

You may want to get your Iron and Vitamin D checked. That has the symptoms you described as well as dehydration and lack of calories. That's what I'd think about first. If you've not even missed your period yet, you really wouldn't be having symptoms yet. I'm saying this as an ob/gyn medical assistant and mother of 7 . I hope you feel better!
