Although I'm not sure how you would gain weight on a liquid diet, tell your friend starting today to follow all of her surgeons instructions and focus on drinking tons of Water. I was not weighed the day of my surgery, but they do want your liver as small as possible and I've heard of surgeons stopping the surgery if things to do not look right when they go in.

For today, I had B= Breakfast Cooking 8 grams Protein and 8 oz of real goodness (milk product) 11 g protein L= Lean Cuisine chicken Pecan 18 g protein S= Cinnamon apple tea D= I have not idea maybe a veggie pizza????

It's been 3 months since I was sleeved and prior to surgery I only told two co-workers and I did not tell my mom or sisters until I was in my room recovering at the hospital only because I knew my family was going to be very negative and I only wanted positive thoughts going into surgery. Like you I'm a terrible liar so I thought after surgery if any would ask about my weight I would tell them the truth. So back to your question, my mom was more supportive then I thought she would be and my sisters were very happy for me so I wish I would have told them sooner. My disadvantage came when I returned to work and one of the co-workers I told about my surgery spread it through out the office, I thought I could trust her. Now I'm the topic of conversation at work with statements "like she cheated" and "she was not that big in the first place." So my advice would be tell your family and friends when your comfortable, but expect everyone to have an opinion positive and negative. Hope this helped, good luck with your upcoming surgery

You go Girl!

OUTSTANDING! The time will fly by, good luck

I had the same pain so I filled my scripe for my ppi and after taking my ppi for two days the pain went away. So basiclly it's trapped gas trying to get out. Hope this helps

Vicki it was explained to me by my surgeon that the higher your bmi the more weight you will loss in the first two months, those with a lower bmi may loss weight slower. Maybe speak to your nutrionist regarding your food intake and calorie intake.

So sorry for your loss, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Please continue to sip your fluids and get in your protein you will need this in order to have the strength to make it through this troubling time.

I weighed in this morning and I've reached onederland, I have not seen a one on the scale for years. If feels so good, thank you sleeve.

Great Job! Keep up the good work

Thanks everyone for the congrats, I love this forum if I could not post here I would have no one to share my good news with. My friends right now do not want to hear about my weight loss it's great to be able to share and read about others successes.

Hi Dayle, Sorry you had a rough time in the hospital, now that your home I pray for smooth road ahead. Take Care

Hello Shaundra, I'm sorry that your depressed I struggle with depression and I completly understand the not having energy to play your daughter. Maybe you should save your money and go see a therapist the specializes in depression caused by weight issues. Then when you feel better about live and yourself have your revision surgery (hopfully this will also give you more time to save more money) My husband and I struggled after my surgery with finances and it was not fun at all and caused me to become more depressed about my decision to have my sleeve. We are still struggling but I will be returing to work soon and the money will not be and issue, all I can say is struggling with your finances after this type of surgery for me took away the joy of my weightloss. I hope this helps you with your decision and if your reglious may I suggest you pray or talk to your minister. Take Care

You can have yogurt, sf pudding and sf Jello maybe these items would help with your hunger.

Outstanding! You are truly an inspiration and it's great that you made your on goals.

Hello! @ two weeks I was doing 20 mins of step Wii Fit, and some simple yoga poses.

I just purchased Muscle Milk today from WalMart this will be my first time trying this brand of protein drink. I've been purchasing Unjury or Celebrate protein powder online.

Hello and Welcome! I was sleeved Nov. 8th and by my 3rd week I had alot of head hunger. I know this is hard, for you but the head hunger will pass. When I have extreme head hunger I find some busy work to do around the house ie polish my nails, pull out my sewing machine or go for a walk at the mall looking at the the smaller clothing stores which helps me focus on why I had this surgery in the first place. I promise the head hunger will pass and you also have someting I do not have you're blessed with a husband who has gone through this and can give you support. My husband supports me, but does not understand head hunger at all he Snacks all day long which is the reason that I sometimes go the mall. I hope this helps

Sorry for the late post, I pray your recovering okay at this time. I had no complications, I just wanted to send my blessings and a hope that all is well.

I stopped my pain meds in the hospital prior to discharged, the bloating and gas stay with me 3 days upon returning home. Oh I was in the hospital for 3 days, but everyone heals at their own pace. Take Care and I hope this helps.

Hey endometriosis sister, my hysterectomy stalled my sleeved. But like you I over came it and I'm now enjoy my new stomach. Congratulations on your new life and keep taking those pics.....lol

4 WEEKS POST OP! I've been able to workout on my WII for 30 mins step and yoga two days a week. Walking everyday for 2 miles on the treadmill. Never in a million years would I have thought that working out would be part of daily routine. It feels great!
