2.5 weeks out and I'm really coming to appreciate just how much activity revolves around eating/drinking. Whether it's dining out or just looking for a weekend activity. Only being able to eat a couple ounces and avoiding alcohol kills most of the fun venues for meeting up with friends.

I remember some of what it was like.... but it's been a while ..... The commercials still get to me... and posts on FB of all the food. Being from South Louisiana... our lives revolve around rich delicious food. I guess it's a sleeve thing with the alcohol? I have the band, so i was never told to avoid it.... just that it's won't take much to fell the effects.. So true, i'm a light weight now. But i still drink wine, i never drink mixed drinks with soda (coke, sprite) in it. I am a wine-o now

I wonder why no alcohol? Maybe because you stomach was cut.... Mine was not. So either i was not told to avoid.... are i had selective hearing and choose not to hear that... hehe. I don't eat much, so when i go to dinner, i always order a cocktail or two or three... depends on what and how much sex i what that night... heheheh

I'm three weeks out, and I've hit my first stall. I didn't think it would happen so quickly, but I just saw someone referring to it as "the three-week stall", so I guess I'm on target.

Try not to stress; it is completely normal, and most everyone goes through the first stall at week 3. My loss pre-op was very linear -- 3 pounds a week every week for six months. Post-op, it is more of a step function. I drop 8-10 pounds in 1-1.5 weeks, and then I stall for 1-1.5 weeks. Then it repeats. It is maddening, but it is the reality of the situation.

this will happen from time to time.... evaluate what your doing.... what your eating and how much... and your exercise... When i hit a stall... i would up the movement or start something new
You prob. started taking in more food... this is when you need to start moving more.
YOu know the old saying..... Eat less-move more

Just hit my half-way point! Down 50 lbs. Just in time for a week at the beach in the Dominican Republic! :-D

Just got approved for surgery! Excited - nervous - scared - hopeful.

Surgery is on Monday! Nervous. Excited. Wishing my partner wasn't against it, but I'm committed to it regardless.

Day 3 (4?). Feeling so much better! Weird not being hungry all the time. Weirder not knowing if I'm hungry, full, or just bloated.
