30 minutes for me to

I know! I bought several flavors and was so disappointed...I felt like I wasted my money. LOL

It's soooo good!!

I had surgery on 8/29/18 I’m losing steadily, I stall a lot but it’s coming off, I do walk a lot and go to gym a few times a week, so far I’ve lost 33 lbs but I think you are doing good also...just keep it up and in a years time we will all be at goal ???

I know some people that are in the medical field and believe it or not some people will actually have surgery to get pain meds...It's hard to phantom and so so sad but I saw an episode on My 600 lb life and one of patients did that, because of their addiction the doctors are leery I guess ? I couldn't even begin to imagine having surgery without pain meds...

You look amazing!! Congratulations on all of your hard work and enjoy your vacation with hubby ?

You look so good! The transformation is amazing... I am truly happy for you and congratulations on a year strong. Keep on with your new lifestyle ✌️

I was sooooo nervous a whole week before surgery and the day of, but after it was over it was so surreal to me and I am so happy I did it. Congratulations and I wish you all the best. ??

You're doing great! almost at goal WOW. I think I mentioned to you on another one of your post that you are very motivating. I had surgery 8/29/18 a little over 2 months and I feel great and will be where you are in the near future. Keep on keeping on and I'm going to continue to follow in your foot steps. New Lifestyle...✌️

Congratulations! That is awesome, I can't wait to be there. I'm working hard at it. Good job!

Congratulations and welcome. ?

Try drinking flavored water, maybe it's head hunger that you are experiencing...It's good that you reached out for help because you have come so far. You asked should you start over from the beginning, I think that's a good idea just don't have shakes since you don't like them and you said you still have restriction so that is GREAT!! You will get back on track. Write down reasons why you chose to have the surgery and keep it near you as a reminder. I wish you all the best!

Muralax!

You look really good! Congratulations you have done very well and it’s so encouraging to see progress like yours and others. ?

@beccaconaty87 I had grapes by week 3, everyone can’t tolerate fruit at the same time or some people say it’s a slider food, but it isn’t for me...my suggestion is to try one and see how it goes for you, I usually can’t have more than 7 or 8 depending on the size. My nutritionist was amazed that I could eat strawberries because of the seeds but it doesn’t bother me, she said go for it if I could tolerate it. The only fruit that I find is a slider food is bananas, I can eat the whole thing, I was shocked lol. Now I cut it in half. I love fruit.

@Eliz_123 what you are experiencing is absolutely normal! Your stomach is still swollen from having major surgery, give your body a chance to heal, two weeks isn’t long at all AND you’ve lost 13 lbs! That’s awesome, in that short amount of time...follow your plan and you will lose, I think most plans tell you that it takes 1 year to 18 months to get to goal, some people definitely do lose the weight faster but everyone’s body is different, you have to factor in age, starting weight, medical issues and the list goes on. None of us put on this weight overnight so we are not going to lose it overnight. You are on track and doing quite well so try and relax and not focus so much on the scale, follow your plan and the weight will come off. Do a search on stalls and you will find so many topics and see that you are not alone. Keep up the good work the end result will be worth it. ?

Congratulations! and best wishes. You will do fine ?

I agree with @Missouri-Lee's Summit No question is silly, I wondered that myself when I can gradually eat a little more than I did before...so thanks for asking that question. ?

You look amazing. Congratulations on a job well done!!

You just need to move to Florida young lady @GreenTealael I was born and raised here, so I had no choice in the matter...don't get me wrong it's beautiful here, sunny, palm trees, beaches...yada yada yada BUT I do feel sad when I see snow up north and it;s 80 plus degrees here. My first time actually seeing snow in person was the beginning of this year when I went to Lake Tahoe in January, to me it was the most beautiful experience ever. It was 20 degrees at night time and I actually slept with the sliding glass door cracked open...it felt soooo good to me. But I have heard people say that winter makes them sad so I do understand.

Awww! Thank you @Missouri-Lee's Summit ?

Right after surgery please just concentrate on healing and letting the swelling go down, your health is more important than the scale. I actually didn’t think about the scale right away, when I went for my first post op visit that’s when I found out how much I had lost. Trust me the weight is going to come off but it takes time and patience. Everyone’s been there. Your new sleeve is a tool to help you lose weight, stick to the plan and do your part and the sleeve will do its part. I wish you all the best on your journey!

@blackswan I think you are doing great!! It’s only been 2 months for me post op and I seem to have the same pattern as you so far, losing a lot at one time then stalling 3 weeks. like you I’m following the plan and the weight is coming off, whether it’s daily or once a month. Keep doing what you’re doing and you will get to goal, my team told me that I will lose the most weight between 12 and 18 months, they never mentioned 6 months. Chin up, you got this!! ?

Hi there, I’m lactose intolerant here is what I used. The iso I mixed with lactaid ff milk or the milks that margoCL and Briswife15 suggested those work for me as well. I wish you the best

You're right, it does. I won't have it to often either for that same reason.
