The support groups are the first Monday of the month at 6pm where they give the seminars next door to foundation hospital on huebner. They are kinda boring so I want to get some people who were sleeved in there so we have something relevant to talk about. :ph34r:

I live in oc Ca and I went to a support group with Kaiser and the only people there were mostly RnY. I had to take their Options classes and it was also slanted towards RnY procedures. It is so confusing at times. Wish you luck with your support groups. They can be highly beneficial. ;)

I wish I would have thought to take my measurements before my Sleeve... But I know from the way clothes fall off of me, that I'm losing everywhere!

That is awesome! I was stalled for about three weeks too but when I went to put on a pair of capris, they fell off of me, I cheered back up! So I guess when you are stalled, get out the tape measure! Congrats!

Forens(my iPad won't let me type your full screen name)...anyway congrats!!! Today almost the same thing happened to me, and to try to get my hubby and 16 year old son to understand what it means to go from wearing a size 24 pants to today...buying a pair of 15/16 lady wrangler was huge for me. For the first time in 20 years, I did not even try them on until I got home. Fit perfectly. I simply can't wait to be a size 12 ;) so to be in a 10 like you... whoot hoot!

So here is to all of our NSV for Saturday!!!

Take care all

I don't believe there are limits too our sleeve. I believe it gets harder when we get closer to our goal weight, but the sleeve doesn't know any limits. I will always be Rockin my Sleeve. Never give up hope. It depends on the choices we make in eating. ;)

Good going, Consider though you may not be in a stall, you may be nearing limit of what surgery will do.

Well, Thomas, consider this....If you are going to be negative an unsupportive of my journey, please refrain from posting on any thread of mine. I hardly think that being the same weight for two week signifies the end of my journey and that my sleeve has reached its end. If you had read my post thoroughly, you would see where it talked about losing inches and pants size. Im sorry but I dont come to this board for someone to be a negative nellie and try to dash my dreams, but rather for support and encouragement. If you cant be supportive and encouraging, dont bother commenting. I am only 6.5 months out and according to my surgeon I will continue to lose for another 1.5 years! My tool is not near the end of its life by any means. I could understand your comment better if I was near the 1.5 or 2 year mark, but to say that to someone who is barely 6 months out, I find offensive. Consider how your comments might be perceived by the recipient before you post them next time.

Congrats on your weight loss.. I stalled at 170 for 2 months and then dropped to 168 and have been there for almost a month but I am buy smaller clothes. I am wearing a 12 in bottoms, the first i realized i could do that, I went to express and try on several different pants just to make sure (lol). Now I'm able to wear some 10 eventhough my weight hasn't really changed and for dresses i'm buying size 8 (a little tight but i have hope:)

keep up the good work

Way to go!!! I know you will get to your goal, I've seen how hard you are working for it and it WILL HAPPEN. Size 10 jeans, all I can say is WOW and I can't wait till I'm there. I put on size 12 jeans this past weekend and help up my size 20's, it is so hard to really believe that what used to fit WILL NEVER FIT AGAIN!!!

Keep on working hard, you are an inspiration to me and on days when I am feeling like not going to the gym or maybe just eat a cookie, I think of how far you've come and I tell myself that if you can do it then I can too. So you have helped me to stay on track on days when I would'nt have. So Kudos to you and to everyone else who just keeps working it one more day and then another day.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
