HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

I know it's slow but it will happen.

We are all here for each other in good times and bad. No one understands better than Sleeve Sisters!!!

mdm you are not alone. i am losing slow and also compare myself to the big losers. dont leave and dont give up. im going to call you, hopefully tomorrow dont leave ok we are here for each other

Started our new thread mdm!

Newgrandmother....looking GOOD there lady!!!

delta thanks girl.im hanging in there only 40lbs in 3 months i just feel it should be more lol

I know youve heard this before but without the sleeve....do u think u wouldve at any given time have lost 40lbs in 3 months?!! Girllll celebrate your success!!! Youre doing awesome. Im 2 months post op and have only lost 5 lbs post op o_O but im still positive :-))

delta you are so right but when i read ppl that lost 60lbs in 3 months im like WTH. my nut said she would like to know what they are eating and wonder if they are malnutrition. but i guess everyone is differant.

I am sure we all lose at our own pace....the more one has to lose the faster it seems to come off....up to a point. I am eating my protein and drinking my water.....but still have over 100lbs to lose!!!

I am so proud of all of my sleeve sisters for taking this step to improve their lives!!!!!

Hello ladies!! I miss you all! I get soo busy at work and with the holidays I am not even able to pee anymore without feeling it is an inconvenience!

So I am down 43 pounds. I too was sad that it was not 60 or more. I really do have to say that it half the surgery and half will power. I mess up, alot, but for the most part I am trying to make healthier choices. I do indulge occasionally especially with Starbucks Chai Tea, but it is once a week only. I am so proud of everyone here whether it be 20 pounds or 60 pounds. We all want the weight loss soooo bad and it is dissapointing when it is not super fast but you all keep trying. I am actually happy it is only a couple of pounds a week otherwise we would have super saggy skin.

I told myself that even if this is all I will lose, I will be happy since i could have not lost a pound if it werent for this sleeve.

So I want to challenge you all to a new healthier year WITH exercise. Lets keep our momentum going and get into a bathing suit (ok Board Shorts) come Summer. What do you say?? Who's in???

Learjet

I agree with you 100%

Congratulations on your success! I am with you. I am going to start exercising!!!

kparker i love the new pic, beautiful girlie

Exercising is my arch nemesis!! haha

I was never a huge exerciser but once i start i tend to get into a good rhythm..need to get it done!

Happy holidays everyone!

Well, I have been sort of MIA as of late. So busy with school (finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing) but now I am done for winter break. And now trying to finish up Christmas. But wanted to check in and say hi. I go tomorrow morning for my 3 month post-op. Sort of looking forward to the weigh in but sort of not. AM looking forward to seeing my lab work. This is the first time labs have been drawn since pre-op. I will let y'all know how it goes. I am figuring that I am down about 40-42 pounds and definitely losing inches. I am SO DANG EXCITED that I can now fit in size 18 jeans...down from my original 24. That is 3 sizes!!!! And I can now buy XL shirts off the rack and they fit...well most of them anyway. It is sort of funny though in the dressing room because as I am unzipping the size 18's to try them on I am saying to myself "there is no way that my butt is going to fit into these" but then I fit!!! OK, hope y'all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Day of surgery 9/17 weighed 204

Today 167

Went from a size 16 to 10 :-)

Oh boy. This sucks. Well im no expert but i do know (from experience) that it takes TWO to make a marriage work. But with your new life change id say right now you need to work on YOU. You had this surgery for a reason. You want to be healthty and happy! So maybe start with the healthy and focus on that goal since he is not on board right now. Get yourself right and healthy. To me your health is and should be most important. Maybe hell come around in the meantime. But as my mom used to say "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink". So you just gotta do you girl.

Thanks for your comments I took your advice and I am working on me and I am not letting him get to me...thanks...all I could think about when I read your post was that if he had to do anything like cook for himself he would starve..lol...he is so dependent and just down right lazy at times...oh well he he'd rather eat a cup of noodles than cook than I hope he enjoys them noodles! Lol
