Where in NJ are you located? I'm south.

I can vouch for this. I recently had two sips of wine and was buzzed. I'm serious when I say two sips. Not a shot. Not three sips. Not an ounce. Two sips.

I am officially 50lbs down from 2 week preop fast to 7 weeks post op. Passed my goal last week. 10/20/2017 186 HW: 236 SW: 221 CW: 187 HW: 136? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I used it in the hospital for the night I stayed thee. Haven't used it again. I'm down 40 lbs so I'm going to call pulmonary doctor to see what he says. I've been sleeping great since the surgery.

I'm six weeks post op. I'm always looking for friends who are on the losers bench. What part of jersey is everyone from ? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm just now starting to fight this battle again. I quit a month before surgery and haven't looked back until...... I am 6 weeks out and I have so much more energy having lost 60 lbs and not smoking. So when the craving for a smoke popped back up,I had to stop and figure out what triggered it. Come to find out, it was cleaning...ha! I don't know how I'm going to continue cleaning my house with taking smoke breaks. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I sure did. I was in preop and started crying and told my mom amd daughter thst I wanted to leave. My mom calmly reminded me of the road I traveled to get there. And asked me to think how I would feel if I backed out now. Would I be happy. That was a dine deal. Before you know it, I was out of bed amd recovering. I have not looked back since.

It does suck. I quit on July 24th of this year. My surgery was on September 28th. I had one slip up in that time. My cravings are very minimal. The only time I think about smoking is when when my husband calls me names and hurts me. It does get easier after the surgery. In the meantime, I slept quite a bit. Drank alot of water and stayed out of stores where cigarettes were sold. I also am a member of quite a few quit apps. Quitnow has been the best one for me as there are many people old a d new at quitting available at any time during the day. Try the app. I also used the distraction games on the quit apps. The cravings only last a minute. Gotta breathe through them. I smoked for 20 years. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

How's all the jersey people making out these days? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I do not like cream of potato soup at all. Never did. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I was looking up recipes to find ways to satisfy my potato chip craving. I also did thr boiled and baked potato thing. That did help. I'll let you know how I make out on the "chip " thing. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats! What did you think has helped you keep losing the most. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Some days are better than others with the protein and water. It seems like I can get one or the other in a day. For instance, I had 68 g of protein but only 32 oz or water. Then yesterday I had 72 oz of water but only 45 g of protein. I feel like it's too much to both in one day yet. I'm thinking it's because I'm only 4 weeks out. Doc says I should be under 200 when I go back for my 2nd post op on 9/28. Not sure I am going to be able to do it. I feel like I'll be stuck here forever which defeats the purpose of .e having the sleeve. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Cw: 203.2 I am going back and forth between 200 and 203.2. I'm about 4 weeks out. Is this normal? I thought I'd still be losing. Especially walking close to 4.5 - 5 miles per day. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
