Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs

Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs

3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs

I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery.

I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening.

I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day.

I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular.

What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY?

What can I do to prevent heartburn?

Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!)

Help!!!!

If you are having trouble getting in Protein try mixing a bottle of Isopure with 1 quart of Water and a large packet of crystal light. I drink that all day and it gives me 40g protein and 64 oz. of water.

I am still having a hard time finding a Protein shake that I like, but this helps me a little.

I just got the all clear from dr today to start exercising so I can get back into the gym..he said to start off slowly with mainly cardio and light weights
