    I saw your post and noticed we have the exact same starting weight. You are a total inspiration! You have done so well so far and it gives me total hope that I can do this too. In my first stall since surgery. Going to add exercise this week and pray that helps. My eating is spot on. Anyways, although you may have slipped a bit, you are an inspiration to me.

    I am so sorry you are getting such a run around Not fair for them to judge you that way! I hope you get some answers soon. Not feeling well is can not be easy. Stay firm and get the answers you deserve, real answers not them beating around the bush blaming each other. I am glad you are released to do cardio and that is helps with the bradycardia. I would definitely see the ENT and see if he has any ideas on to why you feel like your choking, very scary.

    Aww, thank you. My daughter just took that Sunday after church. I love seeing my progress in pics because there are not days I do not see it when I look in the mirror. I need to start concentrating on how far I have come versus how far I still need to go

    Get some rest!! ((hugs))

    oh no!!! I haven't thrown up since surgery either (came close right after surgery but was able to hold it in) Sorry, hope you are feeling better now!! No fun! Yep, we are sleeve sisters!! Here for each other for every lb lost and every stall My hair has been coming out by the handfuls since 3 months, then just this week it seems more like normal fall out (like 10-12 hairs during and after my shower, vs the 100+ it felt like before)

    I think my stall broke too! I saw 178 today So 3 lbs, I will take it!!! Just praying it keeps coming off and doesn't stall out again soon. Sending prayers your way for tomorrow! This will all be behind you soon!!! ((Hugs)) (on a side note, it seems like my hair fallout has slowed way down too! How has yours been, lose much?)

    Oh Nora I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers! All will be ok! I would of had some emotional eating and a glass of wine! Please keep me posted. This stall will pass! I know what you mean about wanting the big loss still, 2-4 lbs a month seems like snail pace! Just keep doing what your doing, I know we will both start losing again. ((Hugs))

    Went to my 5 month post op today. They said that I am doing great and that stalls are normal. I have lost 47% of my excess weight. He said I will continue to lose for up to two years. They did not want me upping my calories yet, so 600-800 is what I get. They said just keep doing what I am doing and I will start losing again. I hear ya though, so ready for this stall to be OVER!

    Good for you Nora! I still wear some stuff in size 14, guess it depends on who makes it! And that is an awesome accomplishment! Doesn't it feel great to shop in the "regular" section of the store vs the plus section? I kept gravitating towards the plus sizes yesterday out of mere habit. Then I would start looking through the sizes and when 12 or 14 wasn't there I realized what I was doing. Crazy! I will definitely let you know what they say on Wednesday. I am anxious and excited. Ready to start losing again Aww Thank you! You are beautiful too missy!!

    Hi sleeve sister!! I have an appointment wednesday with my surgeon, dietician and psych so I am planning on asking them if I am ready to bump up my calories. I honestly feel that I am in starvation mode because I was super sick with the flu for the last three weeks and my calories were around 200 a day ( I know bad, but I honestly had to appetite, all I wanted was hot tea) and I didn't lose any weight. I thought for sure that I would, but no. I pray we both kill the stall soon, they are so very frustrating. I did have an awesome NSV today though....went shopping and I have gone from a size 20 in jeans to a 12! I was so excited. I haven't shopped at all since surgery and just tend to wear pants with drawnstrings and my jeans with a great belt. LOL

    I have 1/2 protein drink in the am on the way to work. that is 1/2 of 160 cal but 30 gr protein.... lunch I have a chobani yogurt 140 cal 14g protein.. then on way home I have the other half of the protein drink. for dinner I have whatever we are having for dinner that night.. chicken or whatever.. I am so constipated.. I know I am not getting in enough.. and the water is definately a problem as well.. need to get in more.. I just have to be careful that with the frustration of not losing.. I don't turn to the less healthier choices.. an old habit that i used to fall into.. you know.. the not losing so might as well theory.. but I am really getting tired of the scale not moving!!!!

    The weight is not coming off.. I am not quite sure what my problem is.. but I have been in a stand still it seems like forever!!! I am not eating that much, trying to get in my water.. been taking in my protein... and it doesnt move.. I have been walking.. I feel great when I walk.. not exhausted.. hills where they used to kill me .. don't bother me.. but the weight thing .. i do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am beginning to feel like this is just like everything else I have done.. NOT GOING TO WORK.. My clothes on the other hand .. are too big.. and clothes I havent been in in years fit.. but .. really .. where and when are the pounds going?

    Nora...how are you doing? Check in. Look foward to hearing how your journey is going. We passed our one month...can you believe it my fellow 8-29 girl?

    Checking in .. how are you doing? All is good here.. I am going about my life as I always did...Starting to eat food now or I should say taste food.. Losing slowly now but still losing.. wild to watch the scale go only in one direction.. that is taking some getting used to.

    Honestly, I am not sure what does or does not agree with me. I just keep going. I woke up with the worst headache today. And had read about people having them. I smelled coffee and said what the heck. I had a couple of sips, made it exactly how I would.. It made a difference. Now I havent had any coffee in over a week so I dont think that it was caff withdrawls, but sometimes its a sign that you need fluids so that is what I did.. drank some water too. My experience itself was ok. The hopsital stay with screamin old people around me not so good. I was physically and an emotional wreck the day they wanted me to leave. I had not slept in 2 days, and they had not given me fluids in error till the day they wanted me to leave. SO I REFUSED TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL. Best thing I did. By the last day I was dressed in my own pajamas and feeling back to normal a little. I have a new outlet on food in my mind. My husband who is very supportive and yet thinks why the hell would anyone do this....made me see the light. I will be able to have whatever I want, but now the QUANTITY is not what is going to attract me.. but the TASTE. As I take 30 min to have my 3oz of applesause, I think for the first time.. I am really tasting applesause.
