Wow! No answers for you either as I'm not there yet, but I also wanted to say congrats on a successful sleeve. From everything I have read though, Christy is right and obviously knows. Can't wait...

It is all so normal and such a learning curve in the beginning. Trust your body.
Welcome and congrats on having a very loving and supportive hubby!
Congrats! You are off to a great start and kudos to you for including movement right away. Exercise is key to long term changes!
Glad you've done all that to prepare. If you haven't done so, take your picture also. Then, take a monthly picture and your measurements from this point on so even when you don't see the scale...
I just learned over a short period of time that I didn't need the caffiene like I thought I did. I was actually enjoying the taste because of the carbonation and not the "need" for caffiene. I...
Hang in there. I promise it gets so much easier. If you haven't done so, begin moving. That will help with your energy level some, but you do need to remember you just had major surgery. Trust...
Ah, this was so me prior to December 17, 2011. That was the day I began my 3 week liquid diet prior to surgery, and I haven't had a soda since. Let me tell you about my soda habits. I began the...
There could be so many factors, but a couple that come to mind so early out are---dehydration and taking a vitamin without food. Good luck to you.
Wow! You look great, and pictures always helps us "see" the progress we've made. Those same pictures give new folks hope! Way to go. You should be so proud of your accomplishments. I sooooooo...
It is very much part of the process. Average weight loss is 10-12 pounds per month so stalls are expected along the way. Patience and sticking with the plans directed will get you there.
Yes, I started that way too. I think it happens more often to those who had a prep liquid diet, and then I gained quite a bit of weight from the gas used during surgery. It will come off. Just...
You can sleep while recovering! Enjoy your sleeve! It is the best thing you will ever do for yourself.
It seems that the people who have transitioned from band to sleeve have gone on to be very successful sleeve patients! And, there's no "upkeep" with the sleeve! Good luck!
Best of luck for a successful surgery, recovery, and weight loss! You are in for an incredible journey!
You look fabulous and just glow! Congrats on a very successful first year and here's to a lifetime of success!! Good for you to track your progress in pics monthly. I've done the same, and it...
I was thinking that is quite a bit of food for as early out as you are....but maybe you aren't eating it all. It took me about a month or two to get to the pointr you are. Are you tracking the...
I've had the chobani greek yogurt, both lowfat and nonfat since I was cleared for it and have never had a problem. It is almost a daily staple, and I discovered a new flavor today and LOVED...
Is it isolated in one area? Read the symptoms on gall bladder and see if that where your ache is coming from...good luck.
Fabulous! Accepting the "new" us is difficult. I struggle daily with that and every once in awhile I see a glimpse of me in the mirror or a window and think "is that really me?" Enjoy! I take...
Wow! Way to engage the entire family in your success and theirs! That is one of the best NSV's you can have--and congrats on the smaller size. Celebration time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can just say that there was one time that I was close to this weight about 15 years ago, and I was wearing a 14-16. Although sizes are different from brand to brand and that has changed a bit...
Congratulations and welcome to the club!!!!!
I was not given anything.
Well, I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones and avoid gall bladder problems after surgery. Last night I had the most horrific pains start while we were getting ready for our family dinner...
