I live in Orlando and did my sleeve in Viera Florida .. Dr Kenneth Tieu in the Viera Hospital health first ... really good experience, I did self pay but they billed my insurance for all my blood work nutritionist and other test needed ... it's 14500. And u can pay half and make payments for the rest

When I eat "normal" food it seems to trigger me wanting to munch all day! I had a tiny salad for lunch at work with grilled chicken. I had enough Protein yesterday but just kept wanting to eat. Seems when I work in the office I just want to nibble all day. Does anyone else experience this? What do you do to avoid it? I ate 1000 calories yesterday- just because I let myself eat extra things. Normally I'm at around 600.

My stall finally broke, too. Boink! Five lbs. gone! I come to work and someone says "Oh! Is that a new top? It looks nice." And I reply "No. It's from the archives." We all have 'em.

YIPEE!!!!

AWESOME JOB!!!! I can't wait until I am halfway to my goal weight!!! Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see pictures

Heck ya that is good! I have two months on you and I have only lost around 41 pounds and I have only lost 3 pounds the last 5 weeks. Those were my fault though, I have been a lazy butt. You are doing great, I know that almost 40 pounds makes a huge difference. I grabbed a pair of dress slacks from my closet today because I was going to go apply for a part time job at a local school and I had not had my dress pants on since last February when I resigned from my county job. HOLY COW those things slipped off my waist and were down around mid thigh, if I didnt have such booty it would have fallen straight down to my ankles. My husband was like DAMN those kinda don't fit huh? YA THINK?

Sorry no,my misunderstanding ,,Sams sells Premeir Protein brand, www.premierprotein.com
100% whey Protein, no artificial anything. 30g protein - 180cal - 2g sugar.

I am post-op day 4 from my LBL (tummy tuck, butt lift, outer thigh lift) and I am feeling pretty good. My pain pump came out yesterday and my pain is controlled well with my Norco and Valium. Day 2 was the worst for pain. I am numb all over and very swollen but my belly is flat and my bum is lifted and I feel good! I have a small leak from my rear incision but that is normal and getting better each day. FYI - my surgery was with Dr Bruce Mast who is the head of plastic surgery at the University of Florida, the surgery was outpatient and cost $9200 total. I will post more updates as I progress.

If your body shape is changing you are probably building muscle which is denser than fat so per inch it weighs more. Plus when you work out your body holds on to Water.

I love spaghetti squash and its easy to make.

Well, I did it... I cut my hair! Five inches gone. That's one inch for every ten pounds I've lost! What do you think?

I am a full time student at msu and I had surgery July 25th. Last fall I struggled to fit in the desks. I had such bad anxiety that I'd have to sit in the back of class, get my seat before the other students came in, and would leave after everyone else. My stomach would press against the desk and hurt. Well I started classes again yesterday and guess what? I fit in the desks no problem, sat in the front of the class and had no anxiety. I had enough space to cross my legs under the desk even. just wanted to share this NSV. The scale hasn't moved much the last 2 weeks but this NSV just brightened my week and kept me going below are my pictures. The top ones are from April and the bottom is last week

I hear you it gets so much easier on full solids! Hang in there

Had surgery on July 11 and I was on Clear Liquids for about a week. My surgeon a weeks later advised me to stay on full liquids for an additional two weeks since the upper GI I had after surgery showed some fairly severe swelling. I can tell you I am mentally so done with liquids. The thought of broth makes me sick. I'm so looking forward to transitioning to purees this week. I have another dr appointment on August 9th at which time I'm hoping he clears me to eat some solids. As for health issues, nothing major with exception of some Constipation recently.
As of today I'm down 30 lbs since surgery but I'm seeing day to day stalls since I'm for sure retaining Water at this point.

Mine is insane. It's like I'm 19 all over again!

Maybe you had heat exhaustion. When you work in a hot environment and your body can't cool itself down properly it can cause dehydration, nausea and vomiting. How are you feeling today?

Ok, so I'm barely 199.5 but I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!!! Seeing this number on the scale made me realize I do not want to gain again! I just want to keep losing from here! My stall has finally broke and I Just want to continue the weight loss! Feeling motivated. Today's gonna be a good day!

Yaaaaas! [emoji1316][emoji1316]

Have you tried baby food sweet potatoes or meat and gravy are good but it is still puréed.

I told a few of my friends some were supported and some were seriously against it ... and I was shocked that they had such strong opinions against it , I wish I kept it to myself but I don't care anymore I'm happy with my journey

Some people think surgery is sooooo drastic. But now days they have such awesome technology that I think it would be silly to NOT have it. But sure as s**t as soon as you involve others they suddenly become Dr doggie howser lol. Ignore them and come here. I'm not telling many because I had a failed lap band and I could only imagine what they say about the Sleeve. Bottom line.... You do you girl. We're here for you

Wow you look amazing well done x

Took some progress photos this am and realized that between today's photos and my "starting" photo I've lost 50 lbs exactly!
I say "starting" photo because I've actually lost about 70 lbs overall but don't have a pic of myself in my undies at my highest weight.
So here I am on January first weighing in at 207 lbs (after already losing 20 lbs), and here I am today, July 8th, at 157 lbs. I had sleeve surgery on March 22nd and have lost 39 lbs since my surgery day weigh-in. Without makeup or my hair done or striking a pose these aren't the most flattering pics but I love them as a straightforward comparison so I'm taking the plunge and sharing them here.
No matter what, I'm feeling amazing!
Strange how sometimes I look at myself and don't think I look different at all, and other days I barely recognize myself!
This is my reminder to you all... TAKE PROGRESS PICS!!!! I know it can be hard to look at a straight on photo of yourself in your underwear, especially at your highest weight, but I promise they will be priceless tools for you to measure your success as time goes on! I only wish I had a pic of myself at my highest to compare to, so I could really see how far I've come!
