So I'm posting in hopes to find more ppl that in the same time frame of the journey!

My Big date is April 15, 2014

With Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico

Can't wait to hear about your upcoming journey!

Day 3, Still sore...lost 12 lbs and I'm just gettin home from the hospital. They also repaired a hernia tho. I don't like this drain that I have to measure myself and the shots to prevent blood clots that I have to shoot in myself but thank goodness for minimal gas pains and no nausea or vomiting. I can drink just fine but I'm taking small sips often. I feel much better today than 2 days ago. My mom is loving her new bribery videos...smh.

Hi fellow april sleevers, just checking in to see how's everyone doing?

my journey has been good, in fact feeling a little worried as im still hungry and have little restriction.

ive been stuck around tge 198lb mark for a week and was hoping you'd could give me some feedback.

I am 1 week and 1 day post op... I also still get gas pains!! I am struggling to get my liquids in today because I have just been so busy... I think I am doing too much! Blah! I don't take any pain medicine. I have no problems getting around but now and then I get a twinge around my cuts on my tummy. 3 more days to cottage cheese!!! Wooohooooo can't wait! Haha

I am 6weeks post op and my weight has slowed down to about 1 pound a week, this seems very slow after the first 4 weeks post op. Lost a lot of weight while on the liquid diet but very slow now, has anyone else hadthe experience?

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

Don't worry everyone goes through stalls... I don't weigh myself a lot because of that. Sometimes you may be building muscle and that weighs more than fat. I am measuring my process on if I can move down to the next size!! Haha

Erin414... Don't worry about gaining .4 lbs a woman can easily gain and lose up to 2lbs at a time thanks to our wonderful hormones!! Plus your body is still adjusting to the new diet and trauma it just went through! Once you are further out and more healed, you will be able to really start exercising and you will notice more weight loss then! Keep your head up and remember, as everyone says, you didn't gain it all over night and you won't lose it all overnight! Like the tortoise slow and steady wins!!

You have done great to this point and positive things are coming! Just keep following the drs recommendations and YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!

I think that you just keep going eating good food, I am going to try and stop weighing myself every day as its a bad habit to get into.

Im getting ready to be 4 weeks post op!! I went back to work after 3 weeks of being off....i am lapband to sleeve and I must say my surgery and recovery has been smooth sailing started feeling normal in 3 days..the last time I weighed i was dwn 20 pounds....my only concern is trying to get 64 or more ounces of water in!! Hope everyone have a speedy recovery and great success!!

I am a week and 4 days out PO and I will be going back after three weeks!! I know I am gonna have a hard time getting the water in! I am hoping I can drink more than I can by then at a time. I have a desk job mainly. But we'll see! I will have to take a big water bottle in and make sure I drink it when I can! I don't think it will be too bad if I come up short a little bit. I didn't drink 64oz pre op ever! Haha

Same here. Im goin back either this wed or mon. I have to try to get protein shakes and water down. I start protein shakes tomorrow

My doc has me off protein shakes all together after the second week! He wants me to get all my calories from solid food at that point. : ) so water is all I have to worry about! I am figuring a hard boiled egg for breakfast cause it's quick... Some Mac n cheese in my 2oz container and some cottage cheese in another for lunch... Then who knows for dinner I will be home by then! Hah

Yeap same here so I do what I can. I manages to get two 16.9 bottles of water in and 16 oz or two cups of caffeine fee herbal tea so that was good enough for me! I deal great so it can't be that bad right?? Haha
