Isn't it crazy. I'm 36 days post, only down 30 so far. Threw away all my size 16, all of them!! I had nothing to wear going back to work. I usually just stuck the larger sizes in back of closet cuz i know I'd grow back in them some day!! And i did! Now my closet is empty. Gone. Shopping for clothes now that are disposable. Cuz i won't be in them in a month. I'm in a size 12, and some of those feel swimmy! I look at the "skinny girls" now looking at me with a jealous look instead of condescending look. You didn't post a photo, but I'm certain you look great. Just getting this far has shown me I'm worth more than anyone ever thought i was, I don't need their approval any longer, toughest thing we will ever do. Believe in yourself.

I'm 1 month post op today. Down 27. I'm always feeling bloated. TMI- need to really poop, not these little rabit turds. Is it safe to take a gentle laxative. It would be nice going to work next week feeling not so cramped!

Wish I could heave, not have!

Anyone else experience naseau after protein drinks. Last 2 days, 2 weeks post op. Cramping, wish I could have after I finish a bottle. Absolutely nothing else affects me like this.

I stalled week 2. Dropped 3 pounds in past 3 days, start of week 3. It'll happen. Just keep on your plan and it will begin.

2 weeks post OP. Napped this afternoon and had a most lucid dream about a fat, juicy hamburger!! Still with me, can't shake it. Dang it was amazing!!

Every 10 pounds I buy a sack of flour and set it in a stack next to fridge. I'm 2 bags in since surgery (Sept 27) Good motivator when I want to open fridge for a unnecessary bite!

I had my sleeve on 27th. Me also, no weight loss, 13 days post OP.

I joined instacart, a delivery service in my area. Saved the day! I was also alone, I could drive the day I came home, but didn't feel like it. I did take a daily walk to the grocery that delivers for me, but only to get my steps in and buy a beverage. I can order what I want every other day or so. Nice option. Good luck on ur surgery.

Yep, i want food, but body is not screaming for it!

How's it going today!! We've almost graduated to week 2!
