May 6 Sleeved and not much progress
I don't drink enough fluids, don't eat enough protein, and don't exercise. Don't beat yourself up. You'll lose weight and slow is okay, then you won't end up with loose skin!!!

I want details about arriving to Tijuana , hotel, hospital, and Dr.Garcia
Didn't have him/her, but you'll be fine! They run a smooth system down there. Good luck.

Lower BMI Peeps out there please HELP!
That's pretty much what I weighed the day of surgery and am just over a month out and 174.5. I cannot WAIT to be 159!!!! That's my "look decent in a bikini" weight. Luckily I have another 6 or 7 weeks til I'm in Cali on the beach. WOO HOO!

Lower BMI Peeps out there please HELP!
I'm not 100% about BMI, but I am 5'7 and was near 200 pounds. Lost a few, am one month post-op and have been stalled for a week. But at 176 pounds, I look a LOT better so... whatever. Trying to be patient and at least I look somewhat average currently. I don't have a bikini-wearing trip for another 6 weeks (July 30 to Cali) so pretty sure I will be okay by then. The real trip is a Bahamas cruise Sept 19 and I want to be at goal weight by then. Right now I don't believe I will ever lose another pound, but I'm sure that's illogical.

struggling to get anything in
Sick of protein shakes. Food is no fun. Also stalling. Miserable today! Haha.

Stalling which i hate right now
People are different. I think it's pretty natural to compare yourself to others going through the same thing. Not sure why you have to be judgmental when people are feeling frustrated. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and I think it's pretty normal to feel impatient after undergoing surgery and dramatically changing your life.

SO that's dumping!
Good for you! I had the VSG on May 16 and am stalling in my third week as predicted. Frustrating. Congrats!

May Sleevers...where are you?
Two weeks post op and gained a pound from yesterday. So upset. I had a shake, broth, and about three spoonfuls of Cream of Wheat. Otherwise it was a day of water and diet iced tea! Where's the justice?!

Try everything and anything you can. Lemonade, juice, iced tea, regular tea...every fruit juice under the sun... I know what you mean but didn't really have a hard time with liquids. It's phase two (full liquids) I hate. I am almost 2 weeks post-op and wondering if i will ever feel normal again!

Eating off plan-ok, cheating- 5 days post op
Fair enough! I am 10 days post-op and not in the best mood. On Valium and Tramadol and hungry. Forgive my bad mood too.

Geezus.

Boy are people bossy and arrogant. Like all of a sudden we're a bunch of skinny little experts who can judge and shame other people on these forums? No shit she shouldn't be eating that stuff. We all slip up. I just had a bite of a sandwich dipped in beef broth. Better call the fat police. I'm here for you, @justbeingme1972! No judgment or "better than you" bullshit or attitude.
