Hey everybody I'm looking for a buddy or mentor. I was sleeved on 12/18/15. I'm located in Georgia.

Sleeved in ATL 12/8. Glad to find y'all.

I was gonna use Doctor Tuggle as well but went with Dr. Duncan. When was everybody surgery date?

Today is day 28 post surgery. Pre consult weight 11/23 was 255. SW 12/8 was 249.6. Today at dawn: 228.0. So 21 pounds in 21 days, that's nice and steady on paper, but it was like 14 pounds in 10 days and then a 10 day stall where I lost inches and not pounds. The third week stall is a thing, and it happened to me. I am 5'11" and my goal is to get down under 185. My doc said at my surgery weight of 149, I was 100 pounds over IDEAL weight... But I don't know that 149 for me IS ideal. I looked pretty skinny at 185. So, that is my goal. Under 185. I wonder how long this will take? At 4 weeks, I have somewhat gone off the reservation with the liquid-vs-blended-vs-puree. I decided to keep my sleeve secret from my family. So at two weeks, I was at Christmas vacation with the big group. I did tell them a partial truth: I had ended up in the hospital with dry heaves so bad I was admitted for two days (which is exactly what happened after my outpatient procedure) and I wasn't going to eat much and don't worry about it. No one did, much. So, I had a nibble if veg-puree and gravy, wet BBQ, eggs, a crumb of biscuit, etc. The results have been mixed, but I am pleased. Tracking every gram of protein an calories. Ugg. I hate protein shakes....

Good morning all. I'm still 2 nutritionist appointments away from setting my surgery date. But already the nerves are starting. All of your posts are so extremely helpful and insightful. I wish you all much success and God bless
