Ok. So still frustrated with the scale not moving, BUT , first NSV--a dress that did not fit last week, is almost ready to wear. Maybe with some spandex, but soon!,

Really frustrated! I assume my body is in shock from losing so much the first to weeks, and adding the multi vitamin with iron didn't help, and the monthly visitor, but seriously, gaining a pound??

So - hormones have totally caught up with me 7 weeks post-sleeve. I'm a raging lunatic today.

Well it is 6:47 AM here on the east coast and today I start my 2 week journey of only liquids prior to surgery. Went to see my Dr. yesterday he said everything looks great and was very confident with my surgery. he also said that many Sleeve patients have nausea for three days after surgery. He gave me a script to take 1 pill before I leave that morning and 2 more pills 1 for each day after, said that they were a bit pricey, when I went to the pharmacy they were $328.00 so I neglected to purchase them. I contacted the nurse and she said don't worry they would give me something in the hospital in I was sick. Were any of you very sick that made it had to drink?

I'm finally done being stuck. Scale number changed after two agonizing weeks. Onward!

ANOTHER stall ugh man!

I gained 1/2 this week and now that surgery is in aug they want me to focus more on my protein intake

Its been 1 week and 3 days since surgery and I'm down 10 lbs. So excited about this. But I am starting to feel a little depressed about food. In my mind I'm not going to be albe to eat the food I used to love in the quanity I used to love to eat it in. I know I did this sugery for a reason and I dont regret it for one moment but I do miss what I was able to used to do

Creeping, creeping, creeping toward Onederland......an average of a quarter pound per week.......so slow.....working on patience....will eventually get there and to my goal. Just wish it was more like a half pound a week average.

So excited I got the call for my orientation date, and it only took a week! There's no turning back now!

For the past few weeks, I've had a hankering for a peanut butter cup, and have managed to resist buying any every time I've gone shopping. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite even though I'm not a choco-holic. Recently I've learned about PB2 powder and have found a recipe on Unjury that just might satisfy this craving and still have more protein and good stuff than bad stuff. I just ordered some PB2 to try. Will let you know how the peanut butter cups turn out.

this is my week 5 update . down 40 lbs and feeling ok . getting ready to have my 3 teaspoon dinner. awsome

Live, Love, Lapband: Week 28 Post-Op Weigh In http://t.co/Yh1647sTdP

Working from home this week 1/2 days

My first week with no real loss. Not as bummed as I thought I'd be. Celebrating anyway!

Hopefully I finally broke this stall last night. I am officially down to 300 pounds! Lets keep trudging forward.

Tomorrow is Day 6 of my liquid diet! It was by far easier than the other days and getting easier! I have not cheated even though I wanted ot so many times! I never knew how much will power I had til this week. I am AWESOME!!!!!

APPROVED BY INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First submission, and it was approved a week later. I called every day! Now just waiting for the hospital scheduler to call and set up my surgery date, and get my pre-op labs taken care of! SO EXCITED TO BE SLEEVED IN 2013!

Still losing, after a stall for the last week I'm back in the swing. I want to lose 10 more pounds before Thanksgiving (that will put me in One-derland!)

If you're week 5 and beyond and you're having issues with keeping food in comfortably, try Prilosec. It worked wonders for me.

1 week until surgery

Week 5 has been the best one yet! I am able to eat all kinds of foods now, still slowly but it's made a huge difference.
