I am 2 years 3 months out and last month had terrible pain in the middle of my chest on 4 different occasions - 2 of them really, really bad. Finally went to the dr because it was so bad…blood...

Hi,

Instead of looking at the quantity, you should instead evaluate what you are eating. You should be keeping track of your protein and getting what your provider says you should have (mine says...

Thanks everyone!

I do have to add, I have learned a lot this past year. I have pushed my limits quite a few times and paid for it. ONE bite too much and I'm running to the bathroom. ...

Hello All,

Today is my one year anniversary since I had my sleeve surgery! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by...I can hardly believe it.

Altogether, I have lost almost 90 lbs since...

Colleen - we all experience some setbacks or slowdowns, plateaus..whatever you want to call it...don't be too hard on yourself! Always remember why you did this...

The number one reason I did it...

i was out on the third day - it would have been the second day but my surgery got moved from the morning to the late afternoon and they didn't give me the applesauce diet until the second afternoon...

So upset with my closest friend this week...She was telling me about her niece who lost 90 lbs. I asked how she did it and she said "the right way" WTF??? The "right way". When I asked her what...

We surprise ourselves on this journey don't we??? My original goal was 160, I then revised it to 150 but now I'm 149 (up and down a few lbs daily...) and I am pretty sure that I could be 140 and...

Good for you! Isn't it a great feeling???

Yay! Love to hear this -congratulations!

Hi Guys,

I believe it is what's called "the last supper syndrome". They talked about it in the classes I had to take, pre-weight loss... Oh yeah...and I suffered from it too...

I don't know...

I agree - food logging is important. There is a site that I was told about - Loseit.com

Much like the WW site but FREE! You can add friends who can see your progress and comments and send...

The difference between before surgery and now is that you have a GREAT tool - your sleeve! And...you can jump right back in and start seeing results NOW! You have caught yourself before it was too...

I gained a pound too - but it is okay, I'm just moving forward!

I too watched everyone eating on Christmas and couldn't BELIEVE the amount that people were putting into their mouths! I am so...

Same here as above...just one bite more than I should and it's all over! I'm almost three months out and I can eat only about 1/3 of a cup of anything protein. I am able to eat about 1/2 - 3/4 cup...

Early on, I did have these thoughts...I quickly put them out of my head because there was nothing I could do about it. I figured I better get on board and find a way to make it work for me so I...

If you can't keep water down at three weeks, you need to contact your doctor. You should be tolerating mushy food by now. Please give them a call.

Not complaining - I already asked MediaHound about getting logged out. He said it is with my internet security -but I haven't changed anything and wasn't able to figure out how to "clear cookies" on...

I thought the same thing! I even began wondering if they actually did the surgery. You'll know all about it when you take your first bites of solid food and can't eat more than a teaspoon!

My...

Congratulations to you on your success and good luck to your wife! Keep your video camera handy for her hospital recovery - the video that she took of you brought tears to my eyes!

I never really get a "hungry" feeling...I describe it as more of a "hollow" feeling. The gurgling i get is usually after I eat something or if I drink too soon after eating.

YES! I had my period about 5 days after my surgery and it was about 2 1/2 weeks early! I read about this before surgery and thought the people probably were just wrong on their dates...but nope,...

I have been getting logged off also - It used to remember me when I went out then came back but now I have to log in every time and it will log me out when I'm writing a response or PM to someone. ...

Looking great! Congratulations!
