I totally agree with you I was sleeved 12/13/11 and have lost 69 lbs to date. I also don't/won't eat past feeling full for fear of stretching to where I was. I also eating retardedly slow to give my stomach time to get empty in between bites. Basically it takes me approximately 45 minutes to eat 4-6oz of chilli if that. So I fully understand

Wow Your doing good too congrats on your weight loss!! do you eat 4-6oz in the whole day or 2 to 3 times a day? I still can't eat 4 oz in a day I hope its normal when I pick eat its just what ever I pick up with my thumb and index finger. After doing that 3 times i start feeling full if I take 3 full bites of something I feel over full and I don't like that feeling plus I feel like I wanna burp after taking those bites till it goes down its like air in between the stomach and food its so uncomfortable.

Hey Guys!!!

I was sleeved 12/19... I'm down about 32-35 lbs since surgery... I just really started working out.. I get very stressed and it's counterproductive... I'm trying to dedicate myself to the process and journey...

Things I've learned:

Don't compare yourself to anyone else.. our journies are as different as we are...

Don't dwell on "doing it wrong".. instead, focus on learning what works for you and your body, taking into account the instructions from our WL professionals

DO celebrate ALL victories

DO give yourself the benefit of the doubt.. we didn't become overweight in 2 hours or 2 days or 2 months!!

DO extend the same amount of patience and consideration that you extend to others.. to yourself...

REMEMBER, each day is a new day to start fresh!!! You are doing great!! Keep up the great work!!!

LUV UR WORDS !!

Dang...I am such a slow loser, my surgery date was 12/21/11, I'm down 30. I exercise weekly/daily, I do not get it, it makes me so mad! Congratulations to all you, y'all are doing great!

I am right there with you. 29lbs and I was sleeved on Dec 15th. As long as it's coming off I am happy. I am now into size 8 and 10's, I am really happy Never thought I would use those sizes!

I'll have three months soon and I'm down 50 since surgery (no pre-op diet for my surgeon). I just had my check-in with the surgeon yesterday and am very pleased with the way things are going. I finally asked about a goal weight for me and told them I've been thinking 160. They said that was reasonable and that an ideal goal would be down closer to 140. I'm going to see how it goes because I haven't weighed 140 since I was a Jr in high school and think I'd look like a bag of bones. I've stalled each month in the week before my period but a day or two into it I drop 2-4lbs. Bizarre- but I'll take it! I need to step up the exercise and I've been trying to incorporate some resistance training and abs into my routine. Great work all!

I had surgery on December 15, 2011. I have lost 51 pounds so far. 44 pounds since surgery. I dont have a fear I will stretch my stomach. I do also have a hard time getting in all my fluids although I'm close most days. I can only eat 3-4 oz of dense protein at a time. I still have to have protein drinks to get in my protein for the day. I do exercise 3 times a week and try to stay active on the other days of the week. I eat a lot of fish, it's easier to get down and it's loaded with high amounts of protein. I wish everyone good luck on their upcoming four month surgiversary.
