So, I'm down to a size 14 (used to wear 1x and 2x). Almost 50 pounds lost (48.4). I LOVE my new size. I'm so proud of ALL of us July sleevers! I am eating regular foods for the most part but avoiding bread, rice, Pasta, popcorn, etc. Low carb, high Protein, lower fat and sugar foods. I have become addicted to sugar free 15 calorie popsicles - I can eat a couple of them in the evening and it even counts toward my liquids for the day! Thanks to everyone for you support.

Question - how many times do you all eat per day? It seems like I get hungry (not really hungry, just feel like my stomach is empty, if that makes any sense) about every 3-4 hours.

I get that same feeling of emptiness in my stomach. I eat every 3to4 hours too. Sounds like your doing great. Congrats

Well what a journey so far. I started at 276 and am at 192. I do see the weight loss slowing down a bit. The holidays were a challenge. The worse thing is my hair falling out in handfuls. I am taking Biotin but not sure if that’s helping. Working out 3 days a week. So I’m happy with my results. Never want to go back.

Today is 8 days post op and I am moving to full liquids but my biggest issue is I feel exhausted. I saw a recipe using thin chicken cutlet 1 low fat mozzarella string cheese couple spinach leaves and slice of red pepper. Roll it up and back. I thought it sounded good.

I was sleeved on 7/25. So far so good. My hardest thing is sleeping. Not comfortable. After laying for a while my incisions sting. Walking around the house helps a lot. Good luck July sleepers! This is going to be a great journey.

I just had my surgery but this subject of letting go of my clothes came up a lot because we all know how hard we shopped to find things in our size and that we liked. My husband says "even if someday way down the road you gain weight back those clothes won't be in style." It makes sense for me it's taken many many years for me to get this size I am letting mine go when the time comes. Thinking possibly to a womens shelter.

sleeping is difficult, I'm only a few days out but laying flat or on my side is just not comfortable. Asuggestions?ny
