a bit slower this month, but just passed the 100 lbs lost mark.
Pretty excited about it.

Love hearing from my November Pals!!! i am doing well and have had little to no issues. I still struggle with taking 30 minutes to eat my little meals and not being able to drink 30 mins prior and after. But other than that, I'm feeling ahhhhmazing!!! I over half-way there and I really need to go to Goodwill to pick up a couple of pair of smaller jeans, I don't want to spend good money on jeans that I will be in for a short period of time. lol I hope you are all feeling great too.

closing on 3 months post op and down 78lbs.
Congrats to everyone, looks like we are all experiencing some stalls, but keeping at it.

Surprisingly in the last week or so I've lost more weight and I've been less careful about what I eat in terms of counting calories. Maybe I was having too little?

I have officially reached 2 months post-op.
63 lbs down so far.
I was getting lazy again on exercise, mostly because the weather hasn't been great.
I just bought myself a Peloton bike, so far having fun with it.

sugar free Jell-o helps a lot. Day 2-3 are the worst, gets much better after that.

Looks like I finally got past this dreaded 3rd week stall.
Weight started dropping again, pretty happy and feeling good.

Careful with the rice. I've seen many people on here say that's how they got sick the first time.
Basically, the logic is that the rice can still increase in size once it has reached your sleeve and make you throw up.

I'm actually surprised how low the starting BMI is for some people that get the surgery.
It's pretty drastic for someone with under 100 lbs to lose.

Usually the psych would screen out patients with this perspective

Yeah I just ended going without. What offered the most relief for me honestly was Gas-x

I guess people have wildly different experiences.
I’m officially 2 weeks post op and would absolutely go on a cruise right now.
the first 3-4 days for me were rough, mostly due to gas pains. As soon as my digestive system started working well again I’ve been feeling much better and now I would say I’m about 90%. Still a bit weak from the low calories intake I think.
A nice relaxing cruise seems like exactly what the doctor ordered.
This past weekend I had to drive back from NY to Florida after surgery and back to work.

Great job Valboosky! Are you finding anything hard to deal with?
