OMG! Today I squeezed my big butt into a size 10 jeans! They were very tight, so I settled for the size 11/12!  I haven't worn that size since high school! I admit it's been tough, but getting the sleeve was a great decision!

Still a lot to go!

I'm having trouble and I don't know what to do. I've been such a cheater over the past week. I've been eating tons of stuff not on the approved food list. I even snuck a piece of chocolate from my daughter's halloween candy! I'm so ashamed, but I can't stop doing it. Any advice out there?

Had my 6 week follow up today. Dr Burpee wasn't to happy with me because I haven't been drinking water or getting my protein in. He said I'm right on track or the weight loss though. So, I need to work on getting the protein in. Help! I need suggestions. I can't stand the shakes, they disgust me!

Things are going better. The weight is coming off now. I'm just afraid to talk about it because I don't want to jinx it! When people ask how much I've lost, I'm  afraid to tell them, because I think talking about it will stop the weight loss. I'm superstitious, I know. But, it's going better...able to feel when I should stop eating, even though at times, I feel like I can eat more than others. Oh well, it's a battle and I'm still in the fight!

Yep, it's been almost three weeks since surgery and I'm still stuck. I haven't lost any weight in almost two weeks and I'm on the edge! I've started my protein shakes, tolerating an egg, and now have been eating from a small lists of proteins. String cheese is my favorite. I'm just amazed that I'm not loosing weight considering I'm only eating like 500 calories a day! I've been reading some posts on the forums and I know I'm not alone...It just gets frustrating when I can't eat anything, but I'm still not loosing weight either!  Oh well...I'm just going to keep on trucking!!

I feel so much better. 8 days post op and it is so much better. I had my first  follow up appt with Dr Burpee and it went well.  I'm actually hungry now, but the Dr said this is normal. I'm glad to hear I'm on the right track for now. He even reassured me that eating sugar free popcicles were not cheating as I had felt they were! This made me happy.

Is anyone as miserable as I am? I had the VGS 4 days ago, been home for 2 days now, and I am so out of it. I'm exhausted, thirsty, and in moderate amount of discomfort.  I don't know if I expected something different, but I'm surprised as to how I feel. I try to sip my water, but each time I drink, I feel a bit of pressure in my mid chest area and I'm afraid I'm drinking too much.  I'm so tired, my muscles feel like jello and I feel a little light-headed. Please tell me I'm just being a big baby and it will get better SOON!
