Progress updates?

As I approach my 2 month check-up (2/19), I am wondering how everyone else is doing.  For those who have already had their 2 month check - how did it go?

How is everyone doing?  I'm sure we'd all love to hear SVs and NSVs, as well as any problems or challenges people are having.

My weight hasn't stalled, but I'm losing at a much slower rate than was.  I'm grateful that at least the scale is going down, albeit slowly.  I'm consistantly getting my protein in, but am still struggling to get all my water in.  One odd thing that has happened to me twice now (and never close to when I've eaten) is that I suddenly become very nauseous.  I then have the dry heaves for a minute or two, and then I'm fine again.  Nothing ever comes up.  I'll mention it to my doctor when I see him; it's nothing serious - just weird.

I am just a little over 2 months out and down 43 pounds.  I feel so good.  I've not had any complications and I'm walking 2.5 - 3 miles a day.  My greatest challenge is getting in my water, I have never been much of a water drinker.  I still rely on at least 1 protein shake per day to get in all my protein.  I've only had nausea twice, both times I overate and it took a couple of hours to feel better.  I have not actually thrown up since surgery.  A little TMI, I'm having a terrible time with constipation but reading other posts, this seems normal.

My dietician said Milk of Magnesia was safe to take as needed.

Do you like tea?  I'm not a big fan of water, but I can drink decaf tea all day long. Even warm water goes down more easily for me than cold water.

Good job on the walking and on the weight loss!!

Hey Guys!!! I have not forgot you just busy with school and then when I tried to log on It would not let me reply to anyone. I had to send a note to the help desk to see whats up.....Anyway I spent the past 30 min catching up on your posts. I cant say how proud I am of all you. We are doing it. Loosing weight and settling into life. I am sure it is hard someday as it is with me but every day is a learning curve. I have learned my sleeve is not a fan of celery. And I can only eat 2 chicken nuggets at a time. I love it. Since I do not have insurance I have not had an official 2 month check up. I feel great and am slowly loosing. I dont always get my fluids in, but I try. As I have said before I was never a drinker before( maybe 20 oz all day if that before surgery) so when I drink 40 oz I am so happy. I am down 46 since my highest and 40 since pre op. I am still exercising 5-6 days a week. I stopped for about a month because I was working a part time nursing job at a patients house. It was overnight but I was not allowed to sleep. So I spent the daytime sleeping. My weight stalled around 232-230 for that time. I was not tracking my food cause I was eating on the run. Now I dont take care of the patient anymore so I am back tracking and at the gym. School is going well I have 2 A's and a B so Im starting out great. I miss you all and know you are in my mind.
