  3. I am feeling ya both.. I stalled out and I know that I am not doing what I should be, I am doing much better than I was before the surgery but I know I am not counting and such I do measure while at home but not while out. I do snack since my nutritionist said I could have 1 a day... but I usually have 2 but they are fruit or nuts nothing too awful.

  6. Been doing well I guess .. I suck at protein intake and water intake and miss coffee:( of all things that my body decided not to tolerate it ended up being coffee!!! I started at my HW 242 and my CW is 145 so not too bad I go for my 9 month visit on the 22nd so we will see what they say:) Wishing everyone the best in the new year!!

  12. That’s great!! I am down 71 pounds as of this morning. I don’t feel so weighted down by the extra weight. Having fun doing things I couldn’t do with my 11 yr old son:) Hope everyone else is doing well?

  15. Thank you all... I’ve turned to protein water and no shakes for now. I did buy the flavorless whey and will add that in again soon. I am losing slowly now I know it’s lack of gym and maybe lower protein and water intake but gonna keep trying!! Hope you all are doing well:)

  22. Been a while since I posted, nice to read all the updates. I had my sleeve done on 4/9 and so far weight loss is 26 pounds from that morning:) I am still on mushy food until June 12 not that I am watching the calendar very closely lol.. But I have noticed that I can not eat a full 2oz like they say.. Does anyone else have this issue? I can get 1/2oz - maybe a little over an ounce but by then my stomach is so uncomfortable I know it is time to stop. I am having a hard time with the protein I am now at the point every time I start to drink one I want to puke.

  28. Congratulations on loss! My strips are still there as well, I can’t wait to get them off:)
  29. While other are posting progress I’ll throw my little bit in:) Sleeved on 4/9: HW:242 Surgery Day: 229 Weight after I came home:235 Todays weight: 217!!! I am utterly tired of all protein ahhhh... can’t wait until May 1 for some mushy food!! Sweet Jesus let time pass quickly ??. Best of wishes to you all!!
  30. Congratulations!!? I am right there with you on.. who would ever think someone would be so happy to eat mushy!! I can’t wait I think I have 2 weeks left.. that is as long as all goes well with follow up Weds
  31. My follow up is actually the 24th as well, I will find out then about moving on to pureed food and get the thumbs up for the mushies the week after!! Praying because I am actually getting hungry for something other than: Broth, water, jello, protein repeat repeat repeat omg!!
  32. I was sleeved on the 9th and had a surprise hernia repair:) I weighed 242 at the dr office on my last visit Day of surgery 229 2 days after I came home I made the mistake of getting on the scale and it said 235, from all the fluids and such Weighed myself today and it said 221:) I am only able to wear sports bras and still very uncomfortable wearing pants so I am living the sweatpants life. My surgeon told me that I could go back to work Monday but my job won't let me back without a dr note UGH.. so I have to wait for my follow up on Weds. I am still on a liquid diet and can't go to thicker fluid until next week then a week after that I can finally go to mushy food and I have to stay on that for 6 weeks:( Best wishes to all:)
  33. the straight lines to the left tell me this is some kind of contact dermatitis..are you using a heating pad? changed your detergent? wearing new clothes or underwear? sitting next to an animal your allergic to? It was an allergic reaction to lovonox. I was allergic to my blood thinner!! I am now on meds to heal this rash heal. But I will not continue my blood thinner. I was not near heating pad. No new detergents, nothing out of norm other than the Bariatric meds. So ahh ha!! Now just to heal:)
  34. Well after a few days I have a bad rash and can not get it to go away even with Benadryl it will not go away ugh!! Anyone else break out?
