I know I have a long way to go But, this was tonight and I want to document " as I go" Surgery date Dec 11 2017 My 18 year old added the captions Lol

I can relate to everything you just said.. You're pretty ... I don't know what the word is, you've thought this all out. I figured yes I'd buy less food, save on groceries and yet not. I am buy more expensive groceries, ie healthier and more geared to the whole protein. The other day, I went grocery shopping and spent 75 bucks and you wouldnt believe how little I got Lol I am poor so the fact that i will be spending a lot less is great, but great for me, my appetitte is not humongous. Otherwise, I'd die at these prices of "new " food Bahaha. Nice to meet you. Can I ask your real name? Im Joanna, call me Joanna or Jo Good luck on your surgery. So exciting. You're in the crappiest place most of us have already been. That preop diet. Ahhh You will survive. I promise Hugs

Well, I've been eating like 4 times a day, but Hawk, I'v hit a stall for nearly 2 weeks and I am furious So today, I began with what I did in my preop diet. I hate chicken broth and water and protein drinks and sugarfree pops, as a desperate way to jump start my losing again and then of course this 1 meal, which i ate over the course of lunch and dinner Hope that answers your question How are you

This is the majority of my real food for today.. Other than this, I ate about 5 sugar free popcicles 2 cups of fat free chicken broth and lets see 2 cups of coffee Do you think this plate is too much "real food" for the day. It's not much chicken. That white triangle on the left is a slice of " Laughing cow cheese" The front right is a tinsy bit of lettuce, with like 2 pea size drops of reduced fat ranch dressing. and oh the brow mush stoff on the laughing cow cheese is a tinsy spoonful of humus and the other meat besides the chicken is lemon tuna. I hate this plate over lunch and dinner. No other solid foods Oh and I almost forgot I had two 8 ounch cans of protein shakes today. Each was about 170 calories.. That's all for my day and I am 4 weeks and 1 day post op

Hi We share the same surgery date Lol How much have you lost since surgery? Have you hit a stall? I have and it's pissing me off.. Since Dec 26 (my two week) I've got up and down but have only lost about a 1lb, which means that 16 pounds I did lose since surgery was pretty much in the first two weeks post op Grrr How many calories are you eating in a day? When did you weigh 308? On surgery date? Nice to meet you. What's your name? I'm Joanna

What were your stats. How much did you weight on surgery, how much are you now? .. I could have eatn 7 or 8 too.. Isn't it crazy how we eat for comfort? How much have you lost since surgery. And .. did you hit a stall? and if so how long did it last?

Who is oddly brave enough to post themselves in a bathing suit and swimming, only a month after gastric sleeve and still needing to lose 130 pounds? Me Why? Memories Love you guys, Joanna video-1515629304.mp4

For those of you who've secretly wondered why I got the VSG as opposed to just "doing it without help" This first picture is the amount of food I could eat at one sitting X 4.. Yes, 4 of these plates before I was "full" The second picture, this is my food for the day (besides broth and sugar free popcicles) and I'm "stuffed"

You are smokin' hot. Good for you Seriously That's crazy , (good kind) Well, I just began mine and actually, I've been swimming for the last few weeks cause I'm burned out on the dang stationary- elliptical ( the standing up kind is too hard for now -my weight makes it hard on my knees-for now) And anyways, I love swimming. I swim for an hour, sometimes 45 minutes, but I swim laps andI want you to know, I've been between 304-306 (up and downbetween these numbers for 2 weeks) I thought to myself. Maybe I am not bruning enough calories with this swimming, which saddens me bc there is not a lot of exercize I really "love" So may it'sjust the stall everyone's chirping about Did you stall at 3 weeks? and if so, how long was your stall. Sorry for SO many questions, but I cann't keep at this number I am super proud of your weight loss. That's amazing and.. I hate you! Lol

Girl, has it? I'm sorry What was your weight on surgery date? Mine was 321 and now (rolling eyes) it goes up and down between 304-306 ( for two weeks) Ugh.. pray girl, let us pray Nice to meet you

Wait, you already told me ( I'm Dory- finding nemo) and yes, I HATE you Waaa. You've lost more than me and you had yours AFTER me ugh Good job. Sleep well

what was your surgery date, Tim? You can't leave yet, surgery date? Tomorrow is your 2 week preop or one month ugh lol If you lost 22 pounds since surgery and youre only two weeks from surgery date, then.. I HATE you lol Nah. I'll take it like a man Congrats Keep in touch. Hugs

Hey Tim. I assume that's your name? What um, well first, nice to meet you. How much weight have you lost since your surgery? I have questions, so many questions How much do you weigh now? How much did you weight on day of surgery? What caused your stomach torn muscles? Did you already have torn msucles ie diastasis recti or was it caused by the gas? do you exercize. How tall are you. How much do you eat on a daily basis at this point, calorie wise?

Hey Tim. I assume that's your name? What um, well first, nice to meet you. How much weight have you lost since your surgery? I have questions, so many.. Do you work out. What is your current weight, what was your weight at surgery, how tall are you How many calories do you eat at this point

Today makes 4 weeks since my VSG surgery The "average" is 15-25 in weight loss. I've lost 16 pounds as of today, but most of that weight was in the first two weeks. A stall for the most part this past two weeks. Depressing. But what can I do? I've already had the surgery, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. And I am working out. Total weight loss Preop diet = 23 pounds Weight loss since surgery=16 pounds Total weight loss 39 pounds (Since Nov 27) (Kelle did the best she could with getting full length pics of me today. But the sun was her competition ) The bright side. If I didn't lose another single pound, I still lost 39 pounds I probably wouldnt have without this surgery. I am thankful for that

I love you guys You're so wonderful Would any of you want to be my friend? My name is Joanna Burrell. For those of you who do facebook and want to stay joined to each others progress and whatever.. add me on Facebook My email for fb is joanna.howdeshell@yahoo.com and of of course my name is Joanna Burrell .

Girl/ guy, YESSSSS on the scale went up. My scale went up like 2-3 pounds and I was like, WTH lol How do you GAIN weight after gastric sleeve and less than a month out, hilarious If anyone could beat the odds of gastric sleeve working for them, it would be me. ROFL I love it Thanks so much Thank you

Thank you soo much for that website. And I will be checking it out. Thank you for your encouragement Im Joanna, nice to meet you

Thanks Superman or seahaws fan.. I've lost about 15 pounds or 16, but man, others are losing like 30 and I'm like tearing up. Lol I heard that its supposed to be 15-30 first month, so I'm all like sniffling lol The fact taht I've bounded around the same numbers for nearly 2 weeks and have gained even 2 pounds is what's scaring me. How do you have the gastric sleeve and gain 2 pounds in week three .. They say water what.. Yea, okay Lol Thanks sweet guy.. Hugs

Well, you're not as overweight as I, so therefore your weight loss will or normally would be slower than someone as fat as me, soo good job on losing that 17 pounds. That's pretty good But we're kinda in the same boat. This sucks.. Thanks for sharing this with me

Girl talk about it.. And the closer you are to your ideal weight, the less you lose The fatter you are, the quicker it comes off, in the beginning. I was 344 at propdiet diet. 321 day of surgery and it's bounced down to 304, went up to 306, and it is now 305 and I have 2 days left before my 4 week post off On Dec 26 ( my 2 week post op I was 307) so this tells you, how long I've been in "stall mode" and it's beginnign to make me think I will the one person bariatric sleeve doesnt work for. Just my eff in luck Bahaha lol There is no reason we should lose so little this soon out But the fact that you're so much smaller than I, "Over and over" and closer to yoru idea weight, you're doing good @ losing 12lbs in your first month, imo Keep up the girl work Sincerely, Ms Depressed lol Wanna hear the irontic thing? I've struggled with 2 years , from the high 300's to right about where Im at now, the just above 300's and I have never been able to get below 300..It's been about 16 years since I've been in the 200's and I am starting to think, it's physically impossble to get below 300. Maybe I have some crazy sickeness that my body rejects ever allowing my body to creep down to the 200's, no matter how much i starve myself or work out lol Hey, how else do you explain this? Lol See me in 6 months and say, Jo, were you able to ever get below 300 pounds? Lol

Hi. What was your weight on day of surgery, may I ask. How long was your preop diet? When you put your starting weight? When was taht starting weight date?
