No setbacks or issues going on here. Things are going really well. Losing has slowed down, but is still happening. I've lost about 35% of myself (about 118 pounds) at this point.

Choked? No..

The picture by the water was the weekend of my first appointment with my surgeons office the beginning of march, second is mini golfing at a friends birthday about a week ago

I'm actually at the weight my drivers license says, lol. Which for the record I never told them that weight, they just picked one and put it down. But I'm down from my highest weight right at 100 pounds, and from my surgery down 65 pounds about. At 250ish right now. Oh and I never used to get hit on... happened 3 times this week, lol. I guess a different aura is emitted from me when I feel more comfortable.

It really depends on what I'm eating. If I'm eating soup or something like yogurt, I'm probably closer to 1/2 cup. If I'm eating something of more substance, it's probably closer to 1/4 cup

Just had my 2 month followup (late I know) but I've lost 50.8 pounds since surgery, and 85.9 pounds since I started the weight loss/surgery journey

Nope... I want to soo bad, I love pumpkin beer. But they told me a big no on the for a minimum of 6 months, preferably a year

I've learned that I can't eat tortilla chips either. They make me puke as well.

So I had to go get some new pants today because even with my belt they were starting to slip and just looked horrible I thought on me.... I had to get pants 3 sizes smaller... I couldn't believe it

Question, how did you know that you had an impacted bowel?

I'm doing good, I've lost about 38 pounds since surgery and a total of about 61 since my first appointment with the surgeons office

Losing weight problems: I sleep on my side and now have to sleep with a pillow between my legs because a parent of all places my fat on my inner knees wanted to go away first. Now the bones of my knees hit each other when laying down and it hurts. Haha

Actually I lied, the about 25 pounds down is from day of surgery, not the preop

I'm the same way Kel, I'll crave something so bad, then once I have a taste I'm good. And I'm down about 25 pounds from prep diet ... but about 65 down from my highest weight last year.

So one thing that has happened to me... may be a little tmi, haha. I haven't had a regular period in like 7 years or so to the point where I would go a year and a half without one ect. Well I had one right after the surgery, and then right at a month later.... so looks like that's starting to turn around

Too fast, too big of bites, and don't chew enough is usually the cause from what my team told me. But there are just retain foods that your body doesn't want to deal with too I think

I tried tuna a few days ago... didn't sit well with me. It seems like with me I still can't having anything more than a cream of wheat consistency and keep it down.

Oh, the Buffalo chicken meatballs sound delicious.... do you have a recipe or something somewhere? And the only time I get nauseous is when I eat something that my body just does not like.

My doc and nurse practitioner specifically told me no more than walking until after 4 weeks. But I've been walking a lot. At my job I walk 8-10 miles/night

Yes! I didn't lose any for like a week, but the last 3 days or so I've been down every day. So I think it might just be the first plateau because our bodies are still in shock

Mine has me on it for 2 months

Wow, I'm sorry, that is really scary. I hope it is nothing serious.

I could eat a lot more when I was doing the full liquids it seemed like... but once it has some substance to it I can't have much

First day of pureed/soft foods for me today, finally! Hah. Made a scrambled egg for breakfast, seriously got like 2.5 bites in before I felt way too full, haha

My days are getting better and better. I'm not nearly as tired as I was the first week. And from the surgery I'm down about 15 pounds so far. And that's really just from last Friday because that is the first day after surgery that I was actually back to my surgery weight. 15 pound off in a week... I'll take it.
