That:s why I chose to keep my weightloss journey personal.  I have friends and family who thought I could loose weight without help, even though I had been trying most of my adult life.  From their initial reaction I knew they would not be truly supportive, so I decided to just surprise my family at our next reunion, and keep my friends guessing.  My weight loss is slow and steady, and I hope to reach onederland by year-end.  Oh, the satisfaction...I can hardly wait.  Your journey is highly personal and its all about you.

Congratulations...will be praying for your speedy recovery. 

I was sleeved on the 26th, lost 20lbs, and I am stalled as well.  I know I need to have more fluids and get moving.  It has been 6 days and I hope I can still meet my personal goal of losing 30lbs the first month. Congrats on your 30lb loss..

Thanks for sharing this.  I am in a stall and will try it to get my numbers going down again.

Off to a great start.!  Yay!!

I am a couple weeks out and I am hoping any halt in my weightloss will be short.

I as well don't care for artificial sweeteners.  It is a personal preference.  I have used regular sugar, just less of it.  Stevia, as mentioned, is also a good alternative.

I actually gained 11lbs in the hospital, but lost them around the fourth day out...whew!  I am now 9 days out and haven't lost as much.

You are doing well.  I was sleeved on June 26 and find it really hard consuming so much liquid.  I can barely finish 2-16oz protein meals.  I do enjoy some broth a couple times a day. You just inspired me to keep trying.

Awesome! You are getting there.

It is done...prayer sent your way.
God bless.

Wow!  You don't look like the same person.  You have done really well.  I start my pre-op tomorrow and hope to do just as well.  You are an inspiration.

Awesome!
