Lovely Lo

I was sleeved June 20, 2011 and found out I was pregnant jan 27, 2012 only 7 months out!! I was shocked! I've lost 105 lbs over 25 of that while pregnant I'm 5 months haven't gained anything and my little boy is healthy and measuring big!! getting pregnant was one of my many reasons I wanted to be sleeved, because I knew it would be too unhealthy for me & too risky for a baby at my size, but I never thought it would be this soon!! I wish you all the success with the sleeve and having a baby! The sleeve has really changed my life, and I just feel so lucky to have had such an amazing tool to help me in my weight loss journey and life!

Almost everyone I know has buyers remorse the first couple weeks! I'm 2 1/2 months out 65 lbs down never been happier!! no problems at all I can eat everything just in moderation: I've had steak lobster crab legs as soon as I started solids which was like at 3 1/2 to 4 weeks out! I even had a lil cake at a baby shower! I'm not a crazy carb counter or even calorie counter. I eat to nourish my body, but my taste has changed dramatically I used to love sweets & wanted a candy bar every day now they just aren't as appealing. I used to love fried food now I can't stand the smell of foods cooked in grease! It's honestly the best decision of my life!! I do sometimes think when I'm out I wish I could eat more but that feeling quickly passes, because now I can walk up the stairs to my apt without being out of breath & without breaking a sweat! I don't know really anyone that has major problems after being sleeved... What problems are you referring to?

How do you calculate percentage of ewl?

Starting weight day of surgery: 296 Current weight: 249 10/31 goal: 220 surgery was on June 20!! 29 lbs to lose!

I bet you are excited!! I'm going to keep pushing on! Congrats on having a baby! I know I want babies in the future but I refused to take that chance and put me and the baby at risk while I was overweight! so seeing you sleeved and preggers is an inspiration!

Thats amazing advice communication I know he wants me to be healthy an that he loves me I just know he's attracted to curvy women! I guess if I lose my boobies I'll get fake ones I can improvise that way. plus I'm not to sure how I'll feel without them lol. I'm only a month out and on a serious stall and my doctors office is rushed and not very informative! I lost 11 lbs on my week pre-op diet and another 20 between week 1&2 post op but the scale has not moved since! So I have awhile to go before being smaller is actually adressed!

I'm with tiffykins I have never been attracted to guys that were overweight! Both of my longest relationships were with physically fit men! I wonder if my boyfriend will feel differently about me though once I'm smaller? :/

Gemintherough measuring with a scale doesn't work because all foods are different densities your sleeve goes on volume not weight so your suppose to use measuring cups!

He's my dr also I had surgery June 20th!! He's a very busy man and it does feel rushed but I had a good surgery no complications and the busier he is means the more experience he has!! )

I just had surgery on June 20th and now I have a headache! I've always had really bad migraines and I just dont want to suffer any ideas?

I had my surgery on the 20th I live 20 minutes south of dallas out in the country I haven't figured out how to upload either :/ but yes hay is expensive but we also give them feed! We do coastal and alfalfa! Which surgeon did you use?

I'll try n dig out one of my pics from barrel racing

I'm from Texas what about you? I couldn't imagine getting rid of any of them they are pets to me and I would never give my dogs away just because they are old!!

I used to barrel race throughout Junior high and high school but my horse has gotten too old I used to use his to trail ride haven't rode in about a two years now not because my weight I've never let that keep me from anything just cuz my boys gotten old! My dad also races thoroughbred horses!!

Food not wood lol

Okay thank you so much my diet is much more strict I can't even have tomato soup consistency for 2 more weeks! I'm 3 weeks on clear liquids then 2 weeks full liquids 2 weeks mushy soft wood then finally regular food which seems ridiculously long to me!

I just had surgery Monday! How long is a long time until I can get Protein from food? I can have drinkable yogurt right now! This is just very tough and I feel myself crying and just wanting to be normal (is that a normal thing to go thru)? I'm only 22 and I just feel like I'm never going to be normal again then I see my boyfriend eating food and I don't really feel hungry I just want something to eat and chew you know! Sorry for whining!

The problem I'm having is I can't stand the mineral/vitaminy smell and taste it's horrible and when I drink them they make my tummy hurt will I eventually be able to get my Protein from food?

I had surgery on Monday and I can't stand any of the protein supplements! What can I do?

So you had surgery Monday too how are you feeling pain wise and are you having trouble getting Protein in?

I had surgery Monday and I came home last night and I'm wondering if I'm supposed to start my gummy vitamins? I started my ppi today so I think they said start both but I was really out of it yesterday!

I'm the same as you I can't stand broths or sf Popsicles Soo all week I've been living off water and Gatorade but I've lost 14 lbs in 4 days Soo I guess it's working, but I would be fine if I didn't feel hungry boo!! :/

So since we are all this week coming up what were your pre-op diets that your surgeon gave you mine has been 1 week liquid diet, and it's been pure hell just because I hate feeling hungry!

I am Monday too :/ I'm just ready to get it over with!! congrats we will be starting a new chapter of our lifes!!
