Thanks for the advice.... I'll defiantly try that !

Your welcome! Let me know if it works for you. I keep one in the car because that's where I usually get anxiety (I have a hard time riding and not driving) and I hate to drive go figure! :)

I hope all the October sleevers are doing well.I went through a horrible stall while on full liquids. I guess my body was in starvation mode because since I started soft foods on Nov. 13, my weight has started dropping again. I absolutely love to have real food again. The hardest part is that the pull of emotional eating is back. Last night I had a lot on my mind, and my first thought was to grab a snack. Luckily I recognized it and got Water instead, but I think it's right in saying that this is no easy journey. Anyone have any tips for staying focused?

I'm three weeks post op today and have started exercising. I have found that exercise in general is such a great release. Try going for a walk or doing some type of physical exercise when you feel the urge to splurge. It's going to be a struggle for a while for me because I was such an emotional eater all my life, but ultimately the overall goal is to replace those bad habits with healthy ones. SO thankful for my sleeve to help me accomplish my goals!

Today marks one month for me!! My weight has held at 248, down 27 lbs, I too removed the scale, it was becoming an obsession....lol. I am having a hard time with solids, dumping.....grrr. I was such a picky eater prior, it is even more challenging for me and I can't get all the Water down! Not doing good with the Vitamins (not taking them at all) thought I was on the right track but I guess not. All the mental preparation I had before seems to have slipped away, anyone else feel they are in the same boat?

Today is my 1 mth sleeveaversary! It was a rough month. Since removing dairy from my diet and passing the kidney stones, I am 110% better. I'm very excited to start an exercise program. I'm feeling great. I hit 50 lbs lost the other day, 34 since surgery!

Today marks one month since I've been sleeved. I was 327 now I'm 286 so that's 41 pounds down. Plus I've only got sick once and I can home eating what ever I wanted the only thing was I can only eat three or four folk full of something and that's it which is a good thing. I think I would have lost more if I could have went to the gym but I had foot surgery as well so that stopped me from doing all I wanted to do. But I have foot surgery on the other foot on the 30 so as long as I can still loose a little weight well I'm down that would be great. So good luck to you all and keep up the good work.

Honey, we started out at the same weight. I'm only three weeks out and am down 35lbs.

Are you on MFP by chance? I'd love to add you if so. I'm Robbino on there as well.

You've done remarkably well, considering your exercise limitations because of your foot.

I'm just now starting to walk and do some light toning. I don't want to push it too early but I'd like to start taking some Zumba classes again after Thanksgiving.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
