We are beginning week 6! We count surgery week as week 1 so everyone should be completing their 5th week of their brand new tummy!

I've been traveling a lot the last few weeks and it is a HUGE eye opener to how little I can eat now. I survived a buffet by having a few bites of some different things, and paid for far too much money for meals that I couldn't take home leftovers and it looks like I didn't eat a thing off the plate. I think one of the hard things for me is that a plate of food comes and it looks so good and I want to devour it! I get slightly depressed I'll only get to enjoy a few bites. Yet after about 1/4 cup I'm stuffed and full and push the plate away and don't want another bite, which is AWESOME!! I'm assuming the odd depression right when the plate comes out will pass. At least when I'm at home I can box the left overs right away and then it might not seem so bad. I never thought much about the money being saved on food, but holy cow its gotta be a ton.

So I'm curious... how many are sticking to super low carb, vs those who are just watching calories/letting restriction do its job.

How many are working out a ton and how many are waiting?

Whats your favorite meal at this point?

And I'd like to continue habsi's question; what pills/multivitamins is everyone taking daily?

devint I loved your idea for putting up averages etc!! I've added mine and included those who weighed in last week. Hopefully we can get everyone to weigh in Monday or Tuesday next week and see our numbers skyrocket!

Hi I had my sleeve on May 31 2014 and every thing seems good minus not pooping reg or no urge to poo . But my question is has any one got queasy after eating this is new feeling before I could eat np now I feel like I just want to puke ? And I get that way if I drink a muscle milk also

Hi everyone it's been awhile since I've been in here. I am going well SW 208 CW 148. 8 lbs to my goal dr says 135 would be ok too.

I am finding myself ALOT colder than I used to be. ( no more flubber, I guess lol) cleaning out closest of size 12 pants now a size 10.

Constipation is a battle dir to our diets with more Protein. Fruit will help I do the squeezable fruit packets they are a great size for us. On another blog I am a member of smooth move herbal tea was suggested. I tried that and it worked fine. I take the occasional stool softener too. I really see a difference when I add fruit and increase fluids.

I still think in my mind I am fat. Maybe that will always be the case. As far as exercise goes I try to get 10,000 steps in daily and go to the occasional kick boxing class.

As far a sex drive mine has stayed about the same. I just seem TIRED ALL THE TIME. Not sure if it my traditional seasonal depression due to no sun or what? Or the newer job working three nights a week.

Hope this finds everyone well

Including and updated pic from Christmas. Happy new year everyone!

For the sugar rush, someone told me to get some chrome supplement, apparently it really helps, and for period you need a summpllement that is called "DIM" it helps with hormonal issues....good job on loosing the 80 lbs and good luck to your mom

I have a question....are your ass hurting too? I guess it has to do with not having a plump butt anymore. I can feel my tail bone, and if i dont sit correctly, it´s uncomfortable.

can not find it

Yea My ass is gone to lol

About gone here too. =) Other parts are also disappearing. Seems like I need a smaller bra every other month too.

Well I fell on the ice a few weeks ago and my butt has been hurting ever since. People keep joking its because I no longer have a butt LOL

I have lost everything but this stupid stubborn stomach. Literally everything else one me has gotten tiny. I lost half my boobs but they have stayed the same for a while now.

I cannot find the facebook group.

Where do you get these supplements? Can you buy them anywhere?

chrome you can get in any health store...sometimes even the pharmacy next to the vitamins...as for the DIM, i am not sure i get it from my chiro who gets it from a naturopath.
