This is my theory" YOU just MUST do YOUR own HOMEWORK! Dont rely on someone else (totally), make sure what their telling you is accurate!

WOWZA!!! CONGRATS 7 MONTHS. WOWZA AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!1

TOTALLY AGREE!! Even our milk is full of steriods that were given to the cows!! This is why our children go thru puberty sooner than years ago...

great advice

YOU DID GREAT!!!

wow congrats! ur results are incredible!

I'm so sorry to hear - must be devastating. I will pray that you get your surgery. Good luck girl- dont give up!

All i can say is WOW!! Great job! I just want to ask what are you doing for exercise, and eating how many cals/carbs/protein you eating? Again that is awesome!

Pretty sad... I've heard 50% fail also, but it was for gastric bypass patients (not us). For me, I will continue to help myself by learning more about the brain on losing weight, I believe that's the secret.

I can tell you in my case, I am 9 weeks out, I have had stalls (one for 10 days)- stalls are normal- I dont go over 30 -35 carbs ever! Seems like the more carbs you eat, the hungrier you get! I exercise twice a day 30-40 min each time 7 days /week, just trying to get my metabolism up. I feel great! I think if I had 80 carbs/day I would prolly stop losing and gain!!

I thought I read that you would become intoxicated faster with the sleeve due to how the alcohol is absobed in the stomach. wrong?

*****!!!!WOW!!!!!******

Wow you look fan frickin tastic!! you have abs!! Great job!! ps if you click on the pic, it comes up bigger.

hmm didnt know that- thats terriable!

GREAT JOB!! CONGRATS!!!!

I am concerned about your protein intake, actually your daily intake especially protein b/c protein helps one recouperate. In my case, for about a week or so, I misread my protein label and was only getting like 30 protein (400 cals) and I went down hill fast, my incisions were hurting,stomach hurt, the way I felt was terriable. Definetly call your NUT/DR and tell them your daily intake, if I were you I would try to sip on protein shake/shooter every chance you can.. Good luck and keep us posted.

WOW Donna T, Just seen you and I are almost exactly the same!! same surgery date, same wt loss!!

I believe your in a stall too. Mix up your calories, try something like a low, medium and high calorie days. Make sure your doing what your NUT says and as said before in this site by Tiffkins, 'throw a monkey wrench' in your diet to confuse the body. Also something I do in stalls is take a stool softener, and usually breaks my stall!! I've had two stalls already!!

that is funny! my NUT ok'd it...

Welcome, and congrats!~
