I haven't been checking in here for several weeks and I've also been slipping up the last couple of weeks with all of the Halloween candy around. I am only 2 1/2 months post op but I feel like I've...

Just sent you a private message! LOVE my Fitbit!! :)

I eat anywhere from 1000-1400 depending on the length and intensity of my workout that day. I find if I go under 1000 calories I don't have enough energy for my workouts and I stop losing weight. I...

53 lbs in 3 months is amazing! You look awesome! Keep up the great work!

I'm 6 1/2 weeks out and I did have a short phase that food just didn't appeal to me. I still have days when I just don't care about food, but most of the time I look forward to eating again. For the...

That's fantastic! I'm such a slow runner that I can't even imagine accomplishing a 10 minute mile! Good job- you are very inspirational!

Great job! I can't wait to be in onderland- although I have quite a ways to go! I'm 6 1/2 weeks post surgery and losing pretty steady. I stall for a few days but then tend to drop a couple pounds...

I use a small (probably 4") dessert plate for my meals. When I was on liquids I used a small ramekin for my liquid meals. I put what I think I can eat on the plate and usually eat about half of...

Yes a couple of different times in the last month. But they were little moments and then the feeling passed. For me it was the head hunger at about 2 weeks out. I was mad that I would have to stop...

I'm a month post op today and I, too, can eat pretty much anything and can drink water in gulps with no problem. I just chew chew chew and make sure I take my time in between bites. I eat about...

So today is my one month "surgeversary" and I can't believe its only been a month! I am down 16 pounds since surgery and 50 pounds since I started eating clean on my own in April this year. I...

I'm newly sleeved so haven't been through a holiday season yet, but I too am dreading it! I'm only about 4 weeks out and I'm doing well, but I still haven't lost my taste for food of any kind. ...

Congratulations! You look fantastic. What an inspiration! :)

I like egg salad. I also do scrambled eggs with zucchini, finely chopped bacon and shredded cheese. Cantaloupe, honeydew or banana. Chicken and vegetable soup (homemade). Chili (also homemade). ...

I lost 3,680 quarters. Hilarious! That's hard to picture! I sure could use all those quarters! lol

I started walking right away. I'm back up to 4 or 5 miles a day. I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op. I've upped the intensity and have been hiking again now, too. I can feel it in my stomach where my...

My doc didn't use one. Guess it just depends on you surgeon.

Calcium deficiency can also lead to calf muscle pain. That and potassium and of course water like Kim said.

I use some 5 and 8 lb hand weights and go through an arm routine. Biceps curls, triceps, chest flies, chest press, overhead shoulder press. I do 3 sets of 10 on each with the middle set being a...

I'm 3 weeks post op and everything is going great! It's hard for me to believe that its only been 3 weeks since I've had major surgery. I am walking for an hour a day- back up to about 4 miles a day...

Keeping you in my thoughts. I had to go in for my first mammogram at 40 last year and at that appointment the xray technician finished and told me I had to see a radiologist right away. It was...

I was nervous about the psych evaluation, too, but it turned out to be totally easy and quick. I think mostly they want to make sure you are in a good place for surgery mentally and that you have...

I'm only a few weeks post op and I was able to eat a little bit of PB2. I haven't tried regular PB but PB2 went down fine in tiny bites. Only about a tbsp. worth. Maybe because its powdered and...

First off, its not right that she treats you differently after your surgery. But that being said, your success is probably making her feel all of her insecurities with her own weight tenfold. Not...

It could be, but it could also be the weather and air temp where you live. Or how much sun you've had. Like kimpossible318 said, check your urine color. If its dark orange then you are dehydrated. ...
