I'm telling myself to just chill out and it will be ok :). Sometimes that's harder to do than it should be lol.

A higher calorie day is good every couple weeks so long as you are eating quality food. BBQ chicken any good lean meat that is tasty.

Me too I don't want to stretch anything. Think it's hormones?

I've had a couple of days like that along the way and have eaten a little bit more than I usually do. As long as in the big scheme of things I'm still having a very low cal day' date=' I haven't worried about it.

You wake up the next morning and it's business as usual.

Don't know hungry again today.. Do you get more hungry if you eat carbs like tortillas? I have been eating low carb wraps mostly veggies and chicken with a little pesto (so good). I hadn't been eating any bread at all but that's not realistic as I love bread. Trying to figure out what works :-)

I was a bread / Pasta / rice junkie before. I have zero interest in it now. I've had a couple of tortillas and mountain bread etc. It doesn't really do it for me anymore. Generally I'd rather have the filling (chicken / salad / pesto / veg etc) on a plate rather than have the carbs sit heavy.

Hey haven't been on in a while...have lost 63lbs and I went shopping on Sunday. I am in size 16 jeans and size 14 top...I got so excited I took a picture in the dressing room and sent it to everyone I know...when I drop 20 more pounds I am going to treat myself and buy an outfit at Ann Taylor

Do it, girl. Congratulations! I love Ann Taylor.

I treated myself to a size 12 Michael Kors dress. I'm not in it yet, but if I stay the course, I'll be in it soon. It has become my goal dress. You inspire me. Going to make taco Soup for dinner.< /p>

Hi everyone,

My name is Christina I had my sleeve done on nov. 1st it was the best decision of my life. My final pre-op weight before surgery was 328 & now 3 1/2 months out about I'm down to 246. So I've lost 82lbs thus far & look forward to loosing more. My ultimate goal is to be down to about 160-170lbs. I'm very happy where I am bc I haven't been this low of 246 in like 10 years.

I'm off metaformin since a few weeks before surgery but am told to stay off of it because my levels are good I'm still on Bp & cholesterol meds but in April at my 6month I could be lowered dose or maybe off of them completely. I'm still on my thyroid meds but thy were lowered from 75mcg to 50mcg. So slowly but surely hope I be off all of them

      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!!
