Out of the Plus sizes.... Yahooooo!!!! I went to buy an outfit for Saturday's party and went in to my usual store Debs plus sizes . I picked up a size smaller which is size 16 too big I went and got size 14 still to big. I ask the sales person if there was something smaller in the plus sizes and she said " the other side of the store" regular sizes. I decieded to try a 13 thinking " they're not gonna fit" I'm going to have to buy the big jeans. GUESS what? ........ THey fit.!!! I am so happy I haven't been in the regular sizes in years. Im still amazed and soooo happyyyyy!!! I am so happy with this accomplishment...

@ readytolive... you will get there!!!!!! Keep your head up and just rock that sleeve!!!!!!!

I am 2 month 2 wks post op, the sleeve has been one of the best decisions in my life.

YES IT IS!!!!! It is such a great feeling......

Depends what type of job you have, I am a banker and my Dr said I would be ready in 2weeks after surgery. I went for my follow up then and still did not feel up to it so my Dr gave me 2 more weeks so I had a total of 4 weeks. I believe if your job consist of heaving lifting you are giving 4-6 weeks

CONGRATS!!! I ALSO MADE IT TO ONDERLAND YESTERDAY I HIT 199LBS AND IT IS THE BEST FEELING, I HAD A STALL FOR 12 DAYS AND I WAS SO DEPRESS I brought my water intake to 70 0z and it broke my stall I am so happy aslo especially when I was stuck for 12 days on 200lbs I was tasting onderland...

I was sleeved May 2 and i I also was having the same problems one minute I was cold and the next I was hot, couldnt figure out why.....Im 15 days post op now and it has stopped, I increase on my water because both days that it happen i had miscaculated my water intake, dont know if that had anything to do with it, but it helped.

21 days on liqued diet and 8th day on clear liqued diet and i dont think i can see anymore chicken broth yuk, I dont even want to smell it ughhhh Im afraid if i skip drinking the broth it might cause a problem i have 5 more days and then i go back to semi liquieds I think i can even have a hard boiled egg and tuna. Whats even more frustrating I have only lost 5lbs since surgery 5/02/2011. I have seen some people loose 10-15 7 days post op... Should i skip the broth?

Thanks for the respond i was starting to feel I was alone in the slow wieght lost..... I was thinking maybe Im going to be the one it did not work for ... I went out to supermarket yesterday and bought beef broth and yes i think Im going to stick with once a day on broth I wont start my full liq diet until Friday so I have a couple of days to go. I was looking up some info and I also got feedback that maybe i was not getting enuf protien so I bought what is called a protien shot it has 26 grams of protien no sugars, now I just have to figure out how im going to drink it between my 60oz of Water

Im not on menopause yet, I added more Water yesterday to see if it get better but it seems to happen anyway especially in the mornings, I think I will call the Dr today to see what he says.... Thank you for the response.

I am 5 days post op and I woke up this morning feeling real hot. I have been getting like hot flashes all day. Im hot one minute and cold 10 min later. I dont remember if I miscaculated my oz f water yesterday, but I have been feeling like this all day.

I am 5 days post op and I am also very hungry and I agree I have been dreaming about food ever since my pre op diet. I just cant wait to eat and I dont want to eat sweets or anything a good healthy meal salmon, fish, tiliapa even a hard boil egg would make me happy. I dont think the hunger hormone was removed either. I have lost 3 lbs since surgery and 19 pounds total from my pre op diet. I have been chewing sugar free gum to calm the anxiety and it helps a little. I am still clear liq. I cant even have a yogurt. My meals consist of 4 oz of Jello 4 oz of chicken broth and 4 oz of protien drink oh and 60 oz of Water. I also want food!!!!!!!!!!
