Having some fear is totally normal. You are making a permanent change, but for me it was definitely for the better. You will eat again, but your relationship with food will change. For me, this...

Wow! Way to go! You must be on top of the world :)

I had the same experience, especially at night. What you are doing now is the hardest part. Once you can chew something again, you will feel a lot more satisfied. I took an acid reducer for the...

What a wonderful post! I could not agree more with your feelings of freedom. This is one of the best things I've ever done for myself for so many reasons. It takes great courage to make this...

I had pain when I moved for several days. I really couldn't get up without grasping my left side for a week and a half. Is that where your pain is? Most people have one incision that bothers them...

Shannon, do you eat a net of 1200, or is your net 600 cals per day? I have trouble sticking to 1200 when I'm burning 500 plus calories. You have been so successful! Way to go!

I've been battling the same thing and I have to admit I get hungry now. Like you, I can tolerate anything and I do think this makes things more difficult after the first few months. I work out with...

Heels, which I was never able to wear before, I can wear all day--and my feet are skinny and smaller!; walking into a room and not worrying that I look fat (can't believe how much emotional energy...

B-rizzle, I'm curious what you changed to get the scale moving again. Do you mind sharing?

This is a great idea. Goals for February:

1. Keep going to the gym at least 4 times per week-add 10 extra minutes of cardio each workout.
2. Add evening exercise at least two nights per...

Thanks B-rizzle. I've been following your posts and I actually thought about you when this issue came up for me. I wondered if it might be causing both of us to stall! I'm trying hard to get to...

Are you taking anything to control stomach acid? I was on something like pepcid for a few months after surgery and I have heard that too much acid in your stomach, which is apparently common at...

Did you drink the latte with the protien box? If so, that might be the reason you were able to eat so much more. Liquid will make things move through your stomach quicker. I try to follow the no...

I've been in a little bit of a stall and as I was going over all of the possible causes the other day, one thing stood out--I'm not getting enough sleep! What has your experience been with this post...

I have to admit that lately I'm getting to where I would like someone to complement my loss. I know people are not sure what to say, but I do have to chuckle each time someone says, "wow, you look...

I take an adult multi, fish oil, and nascobal b-12 nose spray (once a week). The nose spray is by prescription and I'm not sure I love it--seems like it may irritate my sinuses sometimes. But, it...

I shop on-line all the time too. Old Navy is a good one and you can return to their stores. The prices are great and the quality pretty good. I live in their workout clothes. They do 30 percent...

I think part of it for me is that I feel so much better already. I've gotten almost comfortable. I'm setting new goals to get back on track. I don't want to settle in here--although I have not...

We were sleeved around the same time and I just went through the same worries. I decided to start tracking my intake and that really helped me to want to up my exercise. With just a little more...

Hi Laural, I love myfitnesspal! It is really helping to keep me accountable. I'm aiming for 1200 cals a day right now and based on calculations, I should lose 2 pounds a week at that. I feel...

I was sleeved on 8/20 so I'm almost 3 months out. I've increased my exercise and my appetite is back, thought nothing like it was before. I'm still losing slowly, but I'm trying be a little more...

I had that feeling, especially when I was on the liquid post-op diet. I found that yogurt or something with a good amount of protien really helps me. I've gotten better about spacing my meals and...

Wow! You look great! Congrats!

Praying for you and your family. Try to rest and take care of yourself. Hugs.

Just finished 3 weeks of liquids and I promise it gets better. I was really hungry at times. Liquid yogurt helped. Seemed to satisfy me better. Once you can have soft foods you will feel more...
