  1. I take Centrum. They cost 11.00 dollars for a 90 day supply.
  2. My surgery was May 9, 2018 and I have lost 25 pounds. You have lost 80 pounds. Wonder why there is a such a difference in loss figures when our surgeries are so close to each other. Any thoughts?
  3. Yes, nothing happened. It was like drinking water. It didnt make me drunk at all.
  4. I had 3 vodka martinis 3 weeks ago and it did nothing to me.
  5. Yes I will go back to basics. I really need to make this work. I didnt have most of my stomach removed to lose a lousy 20 pounds!
  6. Well, I have been stalled for about a month. I had lost 25 pounds at one point and gained back 5 pounds. I am only eating about 600 calories a day. I am going to increase my water intake.
  7. I just started drinking warm water instead of ice cold water which I was not able to drink much of. I am lifting weights at the gym 4 times a week. I am 6ft talk and 0 inches. Thank you so much Matt for your reply. You are always very wise in your replies.
  8. No they didnt. I should have lost 50 pounds by now.
  9. What do you mean by me or the Dr? I started out with a low BMI of 35.4 I was 261 pounds on my surgery day. I am now at 241.
  10. Something is just not right. Here I am at 2 months, 1 week and 3 days and I have only lost 20 pounds. There is something very wrong with this picture. Anyone have any thoughts I would appreciate your input.
  11. I am not talking about drinking soda pop. I am just wondering about drinks like sugar free sparkling water like Perrier. I used to really enjoy sparkling water.
  12. I agree with you AshAsh. She is NOT ready.
  13. Do you have a Crock Pot? I make lentils, black eyed beans, split peas, barley,pinto beans and black beans in it. All of these are full of protein and fiber. I am not vegan yet. I still like meat sometimes. In general I enjoy beans. They work well with my body system. So what I do when the beans are done is a put them in my bowel with onion, salsa, salt and pepper. It is delicious. I also eat tofu. I cook the tofu on the stove in a frying pan.
  14. I joined a local gym and have been lifting weights and cardio. I need to go every day.
  15. I was sleeved on May 9 of this year and I have only lost 25 pounds so far. I am increasing my water intake but it is a slow process to get the weight to go down. I started out with a BMI of 36 so maybe that is the reason for my stall.
  16. Well, I bought a big box of 36 individual packets of Cheezits from Amazon and ate all of them in a 4 day period. Never again! I can not control myself with them.
  17. I have been drinking the water cold from the fridge. I try and drink it too fast I think.
  18. I am 2 months and 1week post op and I still get discomfort whenI drink water. How about you? I mean with water?
  19. I mean I can drink water it is just that I get full from it pretty quickly and then my stomach feels full and there is some what I would call fullness pain. It is the same pain that I get if I eat too much food.
