I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

In my second stall-blah. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get out of the stall? I have not lost anything in 9 days. I also see comments on the site about slider foods can anyone offer insight as to what they are so I can avoid them? I finally had some pasta and rice and surprising enough did not upset my stomach at all just made me full faster even with the little amount I had. Not something I will so often but wanted to see if I could. Getting my protein in but still struggling with fluid intake. 2 months out and 50 lbs down. I have a long ways to go but my goals are 15-20 lbs a month. Stalls are not helping

Another suggestion...if you have the extra money get something like a fitbit or a jawbone up. My fitbit has opened my eyes about how active or inactive I really am. It's been very helpful.

I bought some frozen turkey burgs, and while there is 10 g of fat, there is 30 g of protein. I can eat just over half at a time. I made one yesterday with some teriyaki marinade. So good! It was even better today though, reheated.

Send me a pic of the pkg. either on here or fb

I bought some frozen turkey burgers from Costco too. I like teriyaki so much. Add a slice of pineapple and I'm sold!

Hi Everyone-

Boy, I've really been gone longer than I thought! Had a heavy workload past few weeks and lots of kiddo activities to chauffeur. Well, I'm late to the stats, but here goes.

Pre- Surgery weight - 272

Surgery day( 2/11) - 269

Today (9 weeks out) - 235

Moving slow and a bit discouraging since I'm in a second stall for two weeks. But, honestly, I've not been as good with Protein and Water intake being so busy. I've also eaten more carbs, although I'm getting about 800 calories a day. Want to recommit to following rules more closely and hopefully push through this wall.

April, I'm curious; you mentioned the release of fat also releasing hormones. Did you read that? If so where? I'm wanting to understand better what is happening to my body. Still trying to get use to it changing and not having a real idea of how I look vs. how I feel inside. Disorienting.

For a of you still in pain and discomfort, it does get better each week. You get more used to how your stomach works. I still struggle with eating to fast, then after three bites feel full and everyone else around me is just getting started. But, I wouldn't change this decision for anything. I really believe it was necessary for me and I'll put up with the new issues for the weight loss, because they really are easier to deal with.

My psych told me that she wanted to really watch my meds (I'm bipolar) Bc estrogen is stored in fat cells and when u lose weight it is released. When u lose weight as rapidly as we do, it's like our bodies are flooded with estrogen. I'm on a drug that has to be monitored anyway, but she wants to watch me even closer so I don't go into a depressive state. Plus she wants to follow my absorption rate with the new tummy.

Is this possibly why my boobs are growing and not shrinking like I was hoping for?! Lol.

I ate just over half yesterday, and the other half today. But it was even better reheated! They're big patties, so you definitely won't be able to eat a whole one.

I wish my boobs would stop shrinking. I wanted them to shrink a little, but they can stop now. I was a 40 DD, now Is can wear a 36 D, and it too almost feels lose. Uggggg. Ha. I I don't want to lose em all!

I don't mind losing all of my boobs if it means I lose everywhere else too. I can always get new boobs. May have to save up, but I don't care. I'll just roll em up n put em in a peanut shell once I'm at goal.

Hahahahhahahaha. True. I would just like as little plastics as possible.

Amen! I was hoping to leave some boob along the way. Lol. Went from a 38F to a 36H. Ridiculous. And I'm so uncomfortable.

Thanks, April.. Good to know, I'm on psych meds, too, and wasn't aware of this.

Another question for everyone- do you find your restriction is the same or does it feel like you can eat more as the weeks go by.? I feel like I can; worried about old habits creeping in.

Oh- and my boobs are really deflating; kind of getting that pancake look. Freaking me out!

I feel like some days I have no restriction. Granted after eating the 4 oz I'm not hungry at all, but don't feel full. (I do feel satisfied) and some days I can't even eat 4oz.
