Had a nice 3.4lbs loss this week! Yeah!!!!!!!!! Just now starting not to have so much nausea when I eat dense Protein. Still using Protein drinks to up my levels. Saw my Bari this week and he is very happy with my progress. Said I was right on target and to keep up the good work. He said I was his lowest BMI patient he had ever performed the procedure on and that he was looking forward to seeing me to find out how I was doing. Now he is considering getting the sleeve done cuz he has now hit an obese rating on BMI. Interesting huh?

Today the family is going for a 4 hour horseback ride so I will get my excercise in that way. And now that I am healed up from my falls I can start walking again too.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Hey Mama!! My loss was 3.4 this week too - as you know from MFP! :lol: I have had ups and downs this week, some days feeling like it was a turning point and others not so much. Last night I had prime rib at Texas Roadhouse - YUM! I ate about 3 oz I believe and it was so tender and juicy - really hit the spot and probably the most I have eaten since my sleeve. So far today no ill side affects like bloating so hoping for the best!! Send prayers this is my turn around week!!

Good morning friends! I weighed in at 232.8 lbs this am, which puts me down 3.1 lbs this week! This is a lot for me, I am a slow loser, but at least I'm losing. I feel great, no issues, so I am not complaining. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

I only lost 0.6 this week and have been losing VERY slowly the last few weeks. I'm feeling kind of discouraged and hope that I'm not done losing. :(

Hang in there Tarada! Your will body will come back around. Its not over yet!:P We are here for you as you go thru this temporary slow down. What is your calorie intake been? Remember eating too few calories will slow down weight loss too. I know for me at this stage it is hard to get all the calories in some days cuz of sour stomach.

We with ya sister!

Only 1.6 lbs lost for me this week... I did a lot of exercise - running two days and then doing a lot of biking also so hopefully the small loss is because I am gaining muscle. Hope everyone has a great week!

Hi everyone! I'm checking in REALLY late but I was down 6 pounds this week!!!! what the heck??? I don't know what I did differently but I'm really stoked about it. Hope everyone has a great week.

Thinking about it though.... I don't think I did anything different. I keep track of everything on MyFitnessPal and this week looks the same as all the others. Go figure.

Sounds like you need to add some calories with your exercise! I am supposed to be eating 800-1000 and am lucky to get in 400 and I don't even have the energy to exercise :(

How do I add more calories? Is I eat more then 3 to 4 tablespoons I throw up. So I eat mainly Protein and veggies... Some fruits have crept in... Applesauce, bananas, watermelon and the like. I know the have more calories but I love them. Absolutely no bread or rice of any kind. Kind of baffled.... Oh well off to dance classes..... My 1st. I hope it is fun!

Almonds are high in Protein and calories. They would help you add some in and still be on your diet. cheese is a good way as well.

October 8th was my 1 year sleeve anniversary so I just wanted to respond and give you all a little update. Next year at this time you will be so skinny! Keep on keeping on your plans! Almonds are great to have as are cheese. I keep a little package of almonds in my purse along with beef Jerky. Stalls will happen to the previous poster. Dont' up your calories just keep on keeping on! I stall 3 weeks a month then lose about 5lbs in one week. You will get there. THIS WILL WORK!

Thanks for the advice! I am still working out and walking alternately. I started back on the Isopure Saturday as well, still no weight loss now for 3 1/2 weeks, though my bras are falling off...... So strange.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
