Gained a few pounds over the holidays. Got almost all of it back off now just about a half of a pound to go. Really did not do well with my food choices over the holidays and pushed my sleeve several times. Been doing better this week with eating protein rich salads:) Good Luck getting back on track to stay healthy.

Thanks! How long does it take you to get over it? I was also wondering if it could be from the amount of Splenda I had in my system. I made some decaf tea this weekend with splenda and drank quite a bit this weekend. Anyone had an issue with that?

Great job! You look great!

Yes it is amazing! Still hard to process though:)

Thank you all and yes a lot of people don't recognize me. Sometimes that's a good thing:)

Hang in there and yes stick to what your doctors told you. Make sure you are getting all of your fluids in that will help with filling full also. It does get better you are still new to everything and you have to listen to your body not your "head hunger". My stomach made all kinds of noises but I would just drink my water…

Good job! You are wise beyond your years. Thanks so much for sharing and helping the rest of us:)

I still drink 2 protein shakes a day to count towards my fluids and protein. I am 10 months out and down 92 pounds. You will get there keep working at it.

Yes it has only been ten months. I was on liquid one week before surgery and that was it. I was supposed to do two weeks but the surgeon wanted to move my surgery up because he had some open spots to fill.

Congrats!

Thank you all so very much!!

Hope you feel better soon. I used sugar free jello to get down my crushed pills. I tried jello pudding also but the actual strawberry jello worked best for me. I hope you find the perfect thing to help you get your med in.

Good Job!!!

Here is my before and after. Thanks for all the wonderful advice!

Had to purchase new clothes and had trouble finding small enough sizes. Toady at work one of my 22 year old co-workers asked if she could borrow some of my clothes. Wow now that's a first for me:)

Thanks for the website. I will take a look. I do not have any resistance bands or weights yet. I do like being able to work out at home. I have a 9 year old and its difficult to get to the gym. I use the xbox one/xbox fitness at home and have done yoga with Adriene https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene

I did try it once man was it tough:) Will have to look at it again now that I have a yoga mat.

Yes you can log on to the app or the website and log your sleep time.

You look wonderful!!!

Yeah sorry I could not figure out how to turn it:) Thanks all!!

Finally got my new bathing suit in and I love it! I would highly recommend it. I purchased the High waisted briefs to go under it to help hold in my tummy.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and support:)

Thank you so much ladies! I found a Dresskini from Land's End that I have ordered. We shall see how that works:)

I used sugar free jello to take my crushed pills with. It still was not great but better than taking them plain. I also tried sugar free jello pudding but I did not like that as much. I hope you get on the upside soon. It does get better:) Hang in there.

I was sleeved and I take a multivitamin, calcium, vitamin D3, biotin (for my hair), fiber pills and a stool softener. I was hoping surgery would reduce the amount of meds I take but now I am taking more. Ole and I have acid reflux now so I have to take meds for that as well.

Some days are better than others. I don't regret getting my sleeve but I do get irritated some days when I want to eat more than I can hold. I am sure some are going to think I am crazy but I still drink two shakes a day and I am 7 months out. I helps make things easy for me and if gives me 60 grams of protein a day. I…

I weigh once a week in the mornings after I go to the bathroom and in my birthday suit:)

Great job!!

Love the premier protein as the creamer idea. Thanks so much for sharing!! I don't have the vanilla but I use the chocolate and that's pretty good to like my very own mocha:)
