If ur sleeve date is 2/9 let's connect and stay close!!

I've been telling people that I'm really watching what I eat and working out. Drinking lots of water, no soda and have cut out most starchy foods. Which is all true! Lol.

My behind is showing a need for squats, and I can see where some loose skin wants to creep in, so I'm FINALLY (should have been started) adding in weight training.

From my heaviest of 320 I am down to 263!! My blood work is great, I am pumped.

Saw my surgeon today and he said I was doing great. I need to drink more water!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Slimtrimshel good response and I agree it's the truth [emoji16] squats are your friend [emoji16]

ElChris major congrats on the loss and the great blood work and surgeon results

Great news!!!

Hey surgery sisters and brothers - sorry I've been MIA for so long I'm going to catch up on this thread and I'm sure you'll be sick of my comments by the end of the day.

I've missed you!!!

Hi there McKitty, welcome back we miss you too. How's everything going on your end?

So 2/9ers I'm 2 pounds away from my first real goal so Woohooo - still struggling with water and having some stomach discomfort but it's Thursday and cinco de mayo. No margaritas for me today, stressful week so if I indulge I may over indulge [emoji107][emoji107]???? how's everyone doing

I was sleeved on 2/9. I've only lost 43lbs. I've been at the same weight for 3 weeks now. Any tips to get over this plateau? Help!

Hi KellyRN congrats on the 43 pound loss - in my opinion you are doing great, your loss is right around where most of our losses are - unfortunately we can not dictate how quickly we lose the goal is to just consistently lose, which you are doing. Most of us have plateaued at some point, I know I have but just stick with getting in your protein and liquids and you will lose again...one thing I noticed with my weight loss, or lack there of is that I have to get in more than 60 grams of protein if I want to lose, so I try to get in as much protein as possible and I still have my no loss days. Keep up the good work, the weight will fall off

KellyRN, we all feel where your coming from. This week was a challenge. I think our bodies are trying to adjust. Are you getting in your exercise and your protein intake? I still struggling with my water intake and when I was working out this weekend I could feel how dehydrated I was. It kicked my butt. Don't get discouraged.

Met a lady today who was sleeved in January of this year and she had a colon cleanse. She said it was about $85 and lasted for 1hour. She said she's going every 3 months and it's helped keep everything moving since surgery. I think I'm going to look into it. Any thoughts??

Positive- you go first lol and report back [emoji16] it would be great to keep everything moving, but I dunno I'm a little scared about someone or something going in my back door [emoji15][emoji55]

Anyone having it around May 24th
