Never had nary a gas pain and not been sick (nauseated, etc.) a single time in 5 months!
People just LOVE giving other people WORST CASE SCENARIOS!!!
Ignore it. Do your research. Discuss with...
Hello and welcome!
I'm sorry you're still experiencing feeling sick. But, I can assure you, if I only ate three times a day, I would feel sick, too. My surgeon recommends six small meals/snacks...
It will pass. Just hang in there -- your body is just reacting to trauma: injury, blood loss, drastic drop in caloric intake. Soon it will adjust and everything -- including brain chemistry will...
I hesitate to post this, because I don't want to discourage anyone. But OTOH, I'm pretty discouraged and if there is help out there for me, maybe someone else needs it, too!!!
I am 4.5 months...
I have several:
Once complimented a friend on her lovely outfit and she blurted out, "Thanks, lose some of that weight and I'll let you borrow it sometime."
To hubby's Aunt: "A woman your...
I'm 8.5 weeks and down 9 lbs. (Was down 11, but had a regain at week 4.)
Some of us are just super slow losers. I know mine is my D-DNA (diabetes genes!!) trying to survive in the midst of a...
I need to get more serious about scheduling.
Several times a week I'll have that "sinking" feeling, like I'm getting weak or light-headed, and realize its been too long since I have eaten. Guess...

Ya'll are some really sweet people to remember that your SLOW is not as slow and your PLATEAUS not as long and keep encouraging me!
I didn't weigh in this weekend as I was out of town...
Okay, Sandy -- we're nearly "twins" with our neighboring Sleeve Dates!!! So, keep cheering me on!
We also had similar starting weights -- but mine was 321 lbs (in August, 07) when I got my lap...
<---Queen of Slow-Losers, here!!
Lost 11, regained TWO, lost one of those!!! Eight weeks out!
I am hereby claiming the CROWN for QUEEN of SLOW-LOSERS!!!
I was banded Feb 10, 2011 and I lost 11 in the first two weeks.
Then I gained TWO!!
And I've been working like a dog and finally...
The sleeve wasn't an option for me when I was banded in 2007. It was still "experimental" then. At that time, the band was the best choice, because altho' I had a LOT of weight to lose, I had...
Congrats!!! Keep up the good work! And keep posting, its a great encouragement to those of us who are super-slow losers!!
What she said!!!!
Yep! Stuck like Chuck! That's me!!
I DO need to step up the walking -- pushing a stroller limits just how vigorous I can get, but I can do more than I am doing.
I was down .8 this week!!

Here's a new update!! And not the kind I ever tho't I'd be sharing.
Lucy's parents, my daughter and the father, have split. Baby and Mommy have moved home with us. Last Monday she was served...

Jimmy -- I don't know WHAT is going on, but I've been "hung" for about three weeks now and Thursday will be seven weeks for me!!
I'm weighing in once a week at Weight Watchers (I rejoined with DH...
THE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT CONTINUES!!!!
After last weeks -0.8 weight loss, I prepared myself to be underwhelmed with this week's results. I walked out a little bummer seeing -0.6 lost.
THEN, I...
Don't over think it. I think sharing and taking food home is much more commonplace than you realize and servers aren't really surprised by those requests. Seven of us sat down to lunch today...
