How much weight have you lost thus far?

Do you soak your Chia seeds first?

Nope, I put one scoop of Chia seeds in 8 oz of Silk with 1/2 scoop protein powder, shake it, then drink after just a minute or two. I love to crunch up the chia seeds, and they add a nutty flavor to the Silk.

Thank you! I buy both Chia seeds and protein powder in bulk at our local co-op grocery. Do you have a rough idea of how much a scoop is?

Awesome! I am going to try this. Thank you!

Sleeved Dec 5th down 78 lbs. I am having an issue that I wondered if anyone else is experiencing. When I have a bowel movement I am getting sick. I am literally grabbing a trash can an heaving. It doesn't happen everytime and I don't have any symptoms prior with an upset stomach.

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering like this. Are you straining while having a BM?

Surgery date 12/6, presurgery weight 267, surgery day 251, today 204. Total loss 63, stalled for a week. Even after starting to train for a 5k, daily running, I am stuck at 204. I feel like the universe is against me getting to onederland. Sniff.

Sleeved 12/10 and down 49lbs as of today. Slow, but not horrible.

Shotzzie, we are sleeve-twins. I had my surgery on 12/6, and I am down 35 pounds!

im 12/6 too down 45 lbs

Have my 3 month visit with the surgeon today.

Start of process 214

Day of surgery 209

Today - 164 - 50 lbs!!!

I've had stalls - but I find that if I have 11 8oz glasses of water plus the other liquids I get in (herbal tea, M-F I have SF Carnation Essentials for breakfast) & exercise at least 5 days a week, then I don't stall. I can do that - for the rest of my life!! :-)

that is incredible success, especially at a low starting weight, you go girl!

Sleeved 12/21. Down 45 pounds since surgery. Last night, waited way too long to eat dinner (not for any other reason but being busy) and when we ate the (ugh...never again!) KFC - it made me so gassy and sick to my stomach. UGH! I thought I would handle the chicken if I removed the skin. I have not felt that sick in two months. Today I am back to shakes, berries, fruits and natural proteins. Anyone else finding they cannot easily incorporate or tolerate any grease at all?

Also, despite good cardio work outs, I am seeing excess skin already. Thoughts on P90X?

Fat is not giving me any trouble, but I cannot tolerate beef, no matter how cooked or how much I chew!

I know I should not compare my loss to anyone else, but you guys are doing great and I am barely doing okay.

I'm down only 27 pounds in 2 months. I think maybe I need to up may calories since most days I fall short of the 800 my nut said i should consume. I always get my protein in mostly through shakes and usually get in my 60 of water. The slow pace is allowing my skin to kind of rebound, but I was hoping for a bigger loss at the two month mark. Also, outside of a little walking I have not begun to exercise (having some issues with arthritis in my knees) but I begin physical therapy for my knees this week, hopefully that will ease some of the discomfort and allow me to exercise on a regular basis.
