Can someone tell me where the pinned directions are for the ticker. I need to update and in 2 weeks I have already forgot how. Being Diet Mtn Dew free is messing with my brain.

Another stall broken!

6 weeks post op! Stall, stall, stall - the ultimate 4 letter bad word! This is getting crazy. I stall every other week now. Really questioning if this will work for the long run. Hmmmm

I ate in a social setting today! I only ate 3-4 total spoonfuls of food and my friends noticed, but I still did it.

Week 10: Down 41lbs and 35% to goal

Down 11lbs with the pre-op diet. I want a protein shake though! Don't understand this 3 days of clears when some surgeons let their patients eat a full meal the night before! Why no protien?

I missed my 4th of July Goal by 8 pounds - I had my first stall. I am now starting to move down the scale a bit.

Love & Loght to all on this journey. Well, last week I gained 2.4 lbs and this week, I lost a pound. I am only 16 lbs away from goal so I am really uping the water. I would like to be at goal by labor day! I know we can do it. Giving thanks for All the lessons and the blessings!

Good news - I got full release to go back to work tomorrow! The bad news, I am having dumping syndrome with the liquid protein drinks and still can not start on pureed protein til next week. Surgeon said I will have to be protein deficient for awhile.

It's that horrible time of the month, I can't even keep tea down. I am glad my surgeon's office prescribe me stronger nausea meds, I only have to deal with this when I'm on my cycle No solids this week more than likely

I really hope that I can get to my Labor Day goal. I will have to lose a little over 3lbs a week to make this possible. SCARY!!!

Yesterday, I wore a bathing suit and shorts in public for the first time in many many yrs! For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel everyone was staring at me in disgust. Thank you Sleeve and Dr Kelly!! <3

I love my sleeve!! I had BK for breakfast since it had been sooo long. Well I was only able to eat the half of one bread slice, meat and eggs out of the croissanwich and 3 potato rounds. Before I could eat the entire double, and King size potato rounds... WOW!!!!

My surgery got pushed back 3 weeks... disappointing, but if i waited this long, 3 more weeks shouldn't make a difference. Now scheduled for 7/27... can't wait!

5 weeks/43 pounds

follow up nutritionist appointment this week, shopping for new gym sneakers and getting to wear a dress that never fit me before? sounds like a great week ahead!

I guess it's normal to be hungry during the two week post op liquid diet?

welp, another week of doing everything right and losing nothing! UGGH.

I worked out yesterday and I gained a pound.... I haven't been able to see the inside of a gym in over 3 weeks.

Next week, I will start working out at Mercy Healthplex Fairfield. I toured the facility today and it's a nice one. Looking forward to this.

I LOVE clothes shopping now! So FUN! Sooo many things to choose from now, so fun trying on so many different outfits ...and the great deals are amazing. Thank U sleevie <3

Went to the DR for 1 week check. Had to get IV fluids, labs drawn and CT scan. WTH I have a Hematoma! EEKS So glad no leak!

Got the plane tickets to San Diego today. The next 8 weeks may be the longest weeks of my life, just waiting.

I am at my six week post op. I am down 55 pounds. I know it sounds good but I feel like I'm really loosing slower than I should be. I am happy to be under 300 pound mark though. I am at 290 now. Started out at 343 pounds. I also have the hiccups alot. Does that happen to a lot of people. Its usually when I get full, but sometimes it's when I am drinking too. I think it is weird. I can also hear my stomach growling alot. Sounds upset but isn't. Sometimes I think it is telling me I...

losing about 1.5 pounds per week. Any ideas on how to lose more?????
