I really shouldn't complain, I am almost 6 weeks and am at 46 pounds down. I started at 314. I have been at 268 for a week...actually, over the weekend I was up to 270! Do I just keep doing what I am doing that got the loss I have so far? Or do I change things up? As silly as it sounds, the weight went up when I started to go down and formally exercise! I also feel tenderness near my lower left incision which isn't unexpected I guess, but I haven't gone down to exercise again since. I didn't feel any pain at all during, I did treadmill and then the circuit of resistance machines.

I really want to be at 250 for labor day...I know it's a random goal, but it would be so awesome that I am still hoping for it

Silly girl did y have the sleeve? I just got approval to have sleeve. I can have on 8/20. My question to u is if u were going on an 2 wk cruise 8 wks post opt would u hold off and have surgery after cruise? I thought I would ask u since know what it feels like around this timeframe. Thanks for your input.

husband has been approved also for the sleeve and we are going on a 3 week cruise in October. He has decided to have it done after he comes back. going on a cruise even 3 months post-op trying to find options to eat might be difficult. I plan on taking my blender and Protein powder.

Lauranbob, thank you for yr reply. How did you feel strength wise at 2 months out? We're you still tired?

I've been on a lot of cruises. There are a lot of food choices and the maitre d will also serve special food for dietary needs. Just let your travel agent or the cruise line know what you will need. Also every ship has a Buffett where there are many selections of healthy food also. My mom had to be on a bland diet once due to some issues she was having, and the gladly puréed her food.
