Man I cannot eat salads for the life of me! I wish I could! I absolutely loved salads before. If I have a bite or two, I immediately have the urge to vomit.

I’ve lost 20 lbs since the pre diet began. Nearly 2 months post op. Have stalled, again. I’m bruising like a sensitive banana! Need to look into Iron sups. Just not sure I can stomach more Vitamins.

Well, summer is nearly over, here’s to being fit and Healthy next summer 2019 :)

Finally I'm in wonderland!!! I will NEVER every be in the 200s again! So glad I decided to take this journey!!!

Hey Sleevers!
So tomorrow marks 2 Months.... I'll share my stats below but i'm down 27 pounds.... most of that was lost at the beginning and I wish i could say I wasn't hoping for a little more loss but its also a hell of a lot more then it would be without my sleeve. So I will try and remember not to let it get me down and just continue pushing forward.
I did start going to the Gym last week and it had not been easy but it has gotten better with each visit. The first time i thought i was gonna die from dehydration. So now I make sure I drink as much as i can before I go and that has helped. I feel sore as a hell but I take that as a good thing. I feel like all 27 pounds lost were from my butt so I figured the gym will help with that lol.
The biggest problem I've had is food.... I never know what is gonna sit well. Today I had a salad and now I've felt sick all day! The stuff that seems to stick without issue is the bad stuff.... pizza, chipotle, mashed potatoes.... That right there is the reason I'm losing slow.... I want to eat the healthy stuff but it happens every time I eat and then I gotta run to the RR.... TMI i know but anyone else running into this? If so anyone had any luck with getting better.

Thank you for posting this about the 'Whoosh effect', Pete. It made sense to me and put my mind at rest.

Oooooo Girl your progress is giving me life!! I'm so glad this is going so well for you! It gives me motivation to keep pushing forward. I knew I would lose slow but sometimes its a little discouraging.... hearing other peoples progress keeps me focused on goals!

Thanks Ash .... you're right on every point.
What I tell myself is he had the absolute best of me for 7 years. And his embarrassment over my appearance mattered more to him than anything else. I can change my weight (and I am!), but he can't change his shallowness

BIG CONFESSION TIME
I had a boyfriend of 7 years, who left me over my weight.
When we got together I was probably around 170-180. When he left me I was about 230.
We had no other major issues. We got along extremely well. We had only a few fights during our entire relationship. Despite my weight I was more physical active, and active in general (more social, traveled frequently), and also took a lot of pride in my appearance. He was slightly overweight when we met, gained some weight, and then lost weight to end up just very slightly overweight.
I noticed he started to not invite me to things with his family or friends. I didn't think too much about it. Holidays were off the table with him having 2 sets of kids, and me with my family, so we never did those together. Otherwise he was pretty much a homebody, so other social events for him were few and far between, made it easy to ignore. We both had demanding and social jobs, so staying in and me cooking was the norm. I barely noticed the decline in going out.
I knew from the beginning I wasn't his physical type. But I figured it wasn't a big deal, because we had a great sex life. There were things about him that weren't ideal, but all the good stuff made up for, I thought it was the same for him.
He began to get more distant. So we finally sat down and talked and he said he wanted to break up. He wouldn't give me an answer why really. I finally asked him if it was my weight. He was surprised I knew it was an issue for him. He told he was embarrassed to bring me around his family and friends or to be seen in public with me. He was still sexually attracted to me, but too embarrassed to be seen with me.
That was four years ago. I only told one person the real reason we broke up, and I did it when I was drunk, lol.

Kept the inner circle small. Very small, can’t even make a circle with the 2 people who know ahah. But I like it that way. When you tell people, they think you want their opinion. Which i know isn’t the case.

Still have a wls stale. I’m still at 180. But what can you do. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Im not too worried, I’m getting my Protein in, same with water( could do better with h20 though.) The scale may not be moving but nothing in my closet fits. So I know my body is changing.

Finally saw movement on the scale after about a two week stall.... woo woo.... i did start making sure I eat protien first and then veggies or carbs.... I noticed since doing that I get full faster.... so the amount I eat at a time went down some.... I was eating between 4-5oz before paying attention to the Protein first rule.... now I get about 2oz of protien and I start to feel pretty full I may get an oz of whatever side I have. Scale is down 2 pounds from my 180.00 stall so glad to see it moving again. I’m on my way to the gym to sign up.... Its to hot in my home gym to work out in.... excited for new changes.... happy Friday everyone!

Let’s see some miniature progress pics from all my fellow June Sleevers! 😊

I’m 6 weeks out and 31 lbs down!! HW: 199...SW: 192...CW 168!!!!

I am on a eternal stall, lost 14lbs in 2 weeks than around 1 lb per week since than. Lost 22lbs in total since surgery(6/7). On other groups I heard about the fat whoosh effect. I definitely recommended to google it. It explain stalls. Unfortunately my Doctor is super busy and my month follow up will happen next week almost 2 months so I am kinda flying blind.

I’m 5 weeks and 3 days out and 31.50 lbs down.

I had almost a month stall then lost 6 pounds! It’s normal. I even upd my carbs as someone suggested and that worked!

Woo Woo Gully90!!! Your post gives me motivation to get it! You're progress is awesome! have you started working out yet or are you just sticking to the good eating habits? I was sleeved a week or so after you i'm over here trying to get on your level!

I'm a firm believer that husbands wives and young children sign up for the bariatric package (some dietary changes have to occur in their lives too) everyone else like mothers, fathers, adult children, sisters, brothers, roommates, etc they can support in other ways

Though I understand. I also come from an eating disorder. Binge and purge. And a family that isn’t supportive: I actually only told a few people. By a few I mean 2! That I’ve gone through vsg. It’s a mind game. You gotta be stronger than the urges. It all starts in the pre diet. Because after surgery you don’t have hunger cravings. Your brain does, but not the stomach. Which is why I said you cannot reply on the support from others because they have no idea what you will be going through.

Honestly you cannot blame others. There is Support, but you must also control yourself.

You cannot let what others do effect your new lifestyle.

I did all my shopping cleaning etc. To me this remind me when I had my children preparing my home for my babies. Now I'm preparing my home for my new life. My children are all grown out the house this is my refrigerator You did great I need to do something fun this weekend! Best wishes do you have a surgery date?

I took a week off. I have a desk job, so it wasn’t a big deal to me. I was fine on day 3 of post op.
