pretty pooped too guys...like u said kids05 long walk then me and mom went to the health food store cuz guess what/// i am on purees a week early starting on Sunday whoo hoo lol and I am 9 lbs down since last monday

i am not worried...my mom is so she is coming with me

that was my original date i was sleeved on 4/11 though. Good luck! you'll do great

I am usually the one who drives everyone everywhere...i haven't driven since sleeve date 4/11 as my surgeon says no driving for a week. I have my follow up and I am driving there today. Something so simple excites me.. I am totally independent and hate being a burden to everyone. And i miss driving my truck

I am really worried about my hair because I have soft, fine hair...i was sleeved last monday...gonna start taking Biotin, and also going to start using wild growth hair oil...may incorporate Nioxin if need be btw i am relaxed...if it gets too bad, i will throw in a weave

funnily enough I mixed a sample Jay Robb vanilla protein powder with water. and i forget it home so 8 hrs later i came home and it looked like just plain old water even when i re-shook it. I ended up just throwing it away.

i just search....mainly by ingredient

oh yeah 5-6 weeks u should be fine! i have a similar situation...i am a bridesmaid in y friend's wedding in November...everyone went to pick dresses the weekend before i got sleeved. However there is NO WAY i can pick a dress now. She is very understanding though....i will be going in September a little closer to the wedding and hopefully requiring less alterations. She wants me in the wedding so much so, she is willing to let me wear a different dress if need be.

tres entertaining u will get the urges back...at least I hope so....i am praying for the mushies so bad..OVER LIQUIDS. But congrats on the 29 lb weight loss!

thanks guys

3 weeks i had surgery on 4/11 returning on 5/2

looking great and Congrats again!

congrats!! you're doing great! Keep up the great work

of course there is no guarantee, but I too was very obsessed about the surgery...i check stats, googled my surgeon, watch the video of the surgery on youtube, ask my friends/family about their anesthesiology experiences. I was QUITE annoying...but I was sleeved on 4/11 and so far so good. Just do your due diligence, research your surgeon, and ask as many questions as needed, and put your faith in God. You'll be fine

i have often wondered though, is it that ppl look sick, or is it just that we aren't used to seeing the person at that size?

so yesterday I visited a friend. And she has always lacked a filter...sorta just says whatever comes to mind so she was like wow you're gonna look great....horrible for a little while, but eventually you'll be svelte and looking hot. so she goes on to say how her neighbor had WLS and he look horrible initially until he plateaued and then regained a little to normalize. So i retorted i'll never look horrible *flips hair* but It annoyed me. Because I know there will be naysayers and haters who will be whispering that i look horrible or lost too much weight etc. *sighs*

water or skim milk

i need to ask for a card! lol cant wait for purees lol

Congrats and you look GREAT! what a wonderful gift to yourself Might I add you have GORGEOUS hair. was it affected by the surgery at all?

i know. Patience is a virtue lol

i had a 2 week liquid pre-op diet, and then after surgery clears for 2 days and full liquids from day 3-21. I am not hungry...just bored...but because I want no issues, I will stick to the plan. Hopefully it will optimize my weight loss initially. I am eagerly awaiting purees though

Beans,scrambled eggs with cheese, tuna, egg salad, and my mommy's homemade Soup (sighs) praying for May 2nd when i can have purees

walking, heating pad on my back, tea/broth

wow looking hot!

sorry to hear that.... Take it easy girl. Get well soon!
