<p>@@DaddyMarie,</p> <p> </p> <p>I did weigh 392 but you knew that since you asked before. I am 5'10 56 years old next month. How old are you? If you rather I kept success on the down low I will. You seem a little put off. I will try to be positive about all this. Realizing your post count 419 vs. my 16. I should see where this is headed.</p> <p> </p> <p>Out............</p>

I'm not put off at all I was simply asking and I'm sorry I don't recall ever speaking with you. So if my question is redundant, oops! I was just trying to figure out your dramatic weight loss but it makes sense now that I know your start weight. That's awesome!

Post count? Wow I did not even realize people paid attention to that. ;)

I had surgery may 6th started at 291 and down to 266. Was on Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes until I returned back to work four days ago. pureed is good but I feel like im eating a lot. Im not exercising like I'd like. Just walking 3 times a week during my breaks and took a 4 mile walk yesterday. Ive tried a few recipes for pureeds and my favorite is bean bacon Soup with light sour cream. Soups are the best but I am hating my Protein shakes.< /p>

I so get it, I hate the protein shakes, so I bought the unflavored protein and frozen fruits and kale and my own smoothies!

Me to! I was sleeved May 6th

I've lost 26 PDs since the start

I'm eating real food now small bites and I chew the hell out of EVERYTHING

Some things don't bother me at all and some things I can only have a bite or to of

It's really weird, my relationship with food now

But I tell you what it's not the last thing I think about at night nor the first thing in the morning

I went grocery shopping today and had so much fun shopping in the health food sections

I already have so much more energy

And am so glad I decided to do this for myself!

Let's keep in touch all!!

I was sleeved on the 7th of May. I was doing so good but the scale is not moving. It's been about 2weeks since I have lost any thing. I think I am doing all the right things but I don't know about the scale.

I was sleeved on May 8th and as of this morning, I am down 29#. I get to start soft foods tomorrow, but am nervous about eating too much. Trying to get the Protein in IS a challenge, but I make myself drink at least one shake a day to up the protein intake. I am happy so far, but I am curious as to how much weight to REALLY expect to lose.

I was sleeved on may 13th, I have stopped loosing at this time. I did relize I was not getting all my Protein in or drinking enough fluids. I like passion fruit Isopure mixed with crystal light.it takes the after taste of isopure away.

I was sleeved on May 14th. Lost 16 lbs in the first two weeks and then nothing...nada for 13 days. Yesterday 2.8 lbs disappeared! I spoke to my nutritionist yesterday about my stall and had her look over my fitness pal food diary and I am following things to a T. She is happy with my progress and put it all in perspective for me. Since surgery I am averaging 4.5 lbs a week...when was the last time I averaged that kind of weight loss......my memory fails me on this one. So although I had a two week stall I am now pleasantly surprised and content. I have increased my Protein this past week from 60gms to 70 germs...maybe that has helped too!

May 7th here too. I have had several stalls. But knowing I am 37 lbs lighter makes some of this bearable. I wish my head nd heart would get together.

Don't feel bad, I thought it was just me, I'm down 31 pounds and I want to see more..but at the same time with us losing gradually, I do like that I'm losing and not too fast so my workouts keep me looking healthy! We gotta stay in the game, we've come too far! We got this..

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
