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?

One week post op, Doing so much better! getting in my fluids and today I was approved to have eggs, cottage cheese and protein shakes. So glad to be a week out and feeling so much better.

We are in los angeles now. But I sure do miss bama. Our son moved back last year. He hates it here. He says there's to many people here. I guess when you come from a town of 20 thousand to a town that has like 14 million, there are too many people here.????

wow..that was culture shock!

I am finding the pounds are coming off much slower now. I am being very strict with my eating and working out for an hour every day. Now is the time I have to stay focused for the long haul.

Are you finding anything similar?

Yes. I lose between 1-2 pounds per week. I just try to follow the diet and work out at least 3 times a week. How many calories is everyone eating per day?

I'm losing steadily. I'm down 66 overall and 37 since 10/6 surgery (2-3/week).

I think the biggest factor for me is eating high protein/low carb and 75 ounces of water. Calories don't seem to matter much (659-1050).

I am getting in over 10,000 steps a day walking or riding my bike.

Oh yeah, 3 people have asked me if I have cancer!

I am getting about 650 calories a day. Level on weight loss for two weeks. Last time I was in a stall it broke and I lost 3 in two days. It happens so don't sweat it just stay on course

I am getting around 500 to 650 a day. I work out everyday. I alternate between my elliptical and a workout video called the x factor. It is the same as ps90 or whatever it's called ???? I am down 31 pounds since oct. 9. I was in a stall for 2 weeks. I still need to work on my water.

It is soooo hard to drink water. I need something with flavor. Does anyone know if drinking crystal light will count toward the water intake?

I'm told that adding crystal light is okay and it still counts.

I have tried to stay away from the scale once I hit 199. I keep my calories 600-650. I have no problems with drinking my water though. I go for a two month check up tomorrow. So I will get an official weight then. Glad to see everyone is doing well.

@@marcia Happy to hear you are recovering well and on your way to better foods. It just keeps getting easier.

My surgeon told me to throw my scale away, but it is sooooo tempting to step on it every day. I stopped the everyday weighing though because my weight fluxuates and at times has stalled and it only disappoints me. I do get on once a week though I do however see a difference in my cloths and have retired two sets of scrubs and am back into another set!

I tried not getting on the scale but I go crazy. I am on it every day. I need to know. Even if it is only o.1 pounds. It's something in the right direction ☺
