I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

I am doing the happy dance! Tomorrow if FINALLY my big day! Leave work today at noon and start my prep I have lost 67 pounds so far on this 9 month journey. So I think I am as healthy as I can be before surgery. I'll post when I get home (hopefully on Thanksgiving!) What a wonderful Surgiversary for me to have. I'll be Thankful for this new wonderful journey.

Have a wonderful holiday everyone!

Hi guys. I hope everyone has a great turkey day tomorrow. Sorry it's been a while. I have been pretty down on my self the last couple of weeks. Friday will be 7 week post op. I have been at a stall for about 2 weeks now. I saw my doctor last week. I am just so confused right now. Everyone I talk to or follow say to eat 3 times a day and get your protein in. Don't forget the water. I measure out all my food 2 oz. I still have not finished the whole 2 oz. Yet. But I only eat 2 times a day sometimes I only eat once a day. I try but I am not hungry. I will take 1 bite and feel totally full. My doctor said if your not hungry don't eat. Even if it is only one time a day. I work out everyday. I do know that I do not get all my water in ever. Does the water make that much of a difference? Don't get me wrong I am happy with the surgery and the 22.7 pounds I have lost, but it just doesn't seem like that's a good number considering what I am doing. I don't really have a NUT because I went through a 1800 # not a doctor office per say. I had no classes before. So if anyone has any helpful tid bits, I would love to hear them. Sorry this is so long.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Happy thanksgiving

Let us know how you did on your run.

I am sorry your down. I am in a stall too, since 11/12 I have not lost any. I went to my 6 week check up (1 week late) on Tuesday. She told me to get my water up too (4 - 16.9 bottles) and to substitute one of my meals with a protein drink and then drink another protein drink if I need to get my 80-85 grams of protein in. She wants to see 10lbs a month weight loss, well I do too! As long as I am not gaining, I am ok with my stall, but like you, I would like to see more forward progress.

Hang in there.

I try to drink a protein shake. But I get 2 sips down and I am done. I am really going to focus on my water more. I am better today

I was able to get into an outfit I have not been in in about a year. So I know progress is happening.

Heading home from hospital. Feeling exhausted. Nauseated and so sore. Having hard time keeping water down. I know you all mentioned that will get better in a few days
