@@dimples 03 The details can be found on page 1 of this thread.

@@stephh Please update my stats as follows: Starting weight 260 and goal weight 249. Thanks!

@@CanyonBaby We share the same passion! I, too, watch cooking shows. ALL DAY LONG!!! I am a very good cook and I own over 200 cookbooks. Family gatherings are always at my house. I have learned so much from watching the shows and my family appreciates it very much. I do get hungry watching! I discovered that I don't care to watch them making sweets any more. I used to love that over everything, but something has changed in my brain! I am only interested in savory foods now. Chopped is also my favorite show! Along with Diners Drive-ins and Dives! That show makes me want to travel and visit those places!

I think you should follow-up with your doctor asap. Since you have just been sleeved, it could be something that needs immediate attention. At least make a phone call and talk to your nurse.

My starting weight is 260. Please change my goal weight to 249. Thank you!

You should get that information from your nutritionist.

I didn't read that the OP said she was in a stall... ?

This may sound corny, but why don't you try to listen to motivational/self-help audio recordings on your long commutes. Also, try packing some Protein bars, cheese, organic granola, beef Jerky bites, etc. for your trips back and forth to work. And NO MORE SNEAKING!

@@ssourgirl I was wondering, has she lost weight through all of this?

Go Girl!!!

They go down the toilet! @@Miss Mac

Six pounds over three days is a fantastic start!

I was required to do a 2-week 1200 calorie diet and then full liquid diet 2 days prior to surgery.

Congratulations! You look 20 years younger!!! Celebrate the New You!!!

Congratulations! Many more NSV's in your future!

Yes, call your doctor and make an appointment.

Put on some music and dance! Try on some clothes that are too big for you now. Look at yourself in the mirror and smile!

Happy Surgery Day!

Yay for your first challenge! It's my first time hosting one =) I will add your name and goal to the spreadsheet, and then update it each week. Thanks!

This sounds like fun! My first time also. My goal weight for the last check-in is 242. Will I be able to add my name to the spreadsheet or do you do that? I've never done this before or even used a spreadsheet, I clicked on it, but I couldn't type anything in the square.

You probably had to lose the Fluid weight you put on in the hospital. It took me a week to lose the 17 pounds of fluid that they pumped into me at the hospital. At week one I was still one pound over what I was day of surgery. There are a millions stories on here in the forums regarding this subject. Remember not to compare yourself to others. We are many different body types and levels of health differences among us. You are losing weight. Feel better!

@@pansy63 I have used Isopure unflavored powder Protein mix. I am currently using GENEPRO Protein Powder. I purchased both on Amazon.com. Although both of these products advertise "unflavored," there is a noticeable "flavor." However, it is not as bad as the fake sugar mixes. The Genepro is best for me. It has 30 mg of protein in just one tablespoon and can be mixed in hot or cold foods and liquids.

@@NoMoreFatGuy I hope that you will start to have a brighter outlook soon. You did the right thing getting the surgery. Please don't regret it. I am 5 1/2 weeks out and I have had some ups and downs, but all in all I am extremely glad that I had the surgery. You will be thrilled when you clothes start falling off! That is the fun part! I have to go "shopping" in my basement every 2 weeks! It's not easy, but be patient. I hope you have a better night tonight.

Congratulations on your weight loss!!! @@Susan Mary
