Congrats to you MINI-ME!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!

I am 3 weeks post op and was wondering what are other's eating or have eaten at this time period?

I was also sleeved on 12/14/10 and at week 3. I agree with what everyone else has said, focus on getting your water, protein and exercise in. Another thinkg that you may want to do is to possible change up your foods that you are eating. Congrats to you!!!!

I am sooo happy for you and all your NSV's. Each one is a may seem like a small accomplishment but when you actually look at it, they are HUGE accomplishments. And losing 70lbs is AWESOME!!!! Congrats to you!!!

I felt the same way as you did before I got my sleeve on 12/14/10. Here is what I did. I pushed it from my mind. Did not think about it. When I set my date in October, that was all I could think about. I decided that it was best for me to just not think about it until December came around. When December came around, I thought about it but not like I was before. I had made peace with my decision. This board helps out so much with your thoughts, feeling and just everything that you are going thru because we have all been there or fixing to be there. As far as the pain goes, I did not hurt. I was more worried about dying on the table than the actual procedure it self. My Dr. reassured me that all was going to be okay and you know what? It was!!!! When I woke up I was sore but not like I was expecting. I actually hurt more two weeks after the surgery than I did right after. You will know when you have had too much to eat. Trust me your body will let you know. You will have a different relationship with food. I use to love coke and would drink one everyday or two a day and you know I quit cold turkey, my relationship with sweets is over. The only thing that I can actually say that I wish that I could eat would be a Chick Fil La sandwich. And I know that one day I will be able to have a bite of it but not right now. You will be more concerned with what you are drinking than eating. You will be fine and lean on your support system here.

6 more pounds till I reach my Valentine's Day goal!!! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!

Aewsome!! You are doing great!! 2011 is going to be the year for you also!!

What a great NSV!!!

I am going to go get me a rotisserie chicken and make me a "chicken salad" of some sorts and see how long I can live off of that one chicken!! I have some Beans so I may cook them down also!! Thanks!!

Down 1.6 already!!! I am LOVIN my sleeve!!!!

I am finding out that I definately lose better while I cut the carbs. Right now I am on the full liquids/mushies stages. What do you recommend for this stage that is low carb and if you have any recipes, please share them.

OMG sounds so yummy!!!

It is better today. I am planning on just hanging out today and taking it easy. I think that it was like a lot of you said that I just over did it over the holidays!!! Thank you for being there. What would I do with out you??

I was told 4 weeks

Oh how I wish that I could go but I live too far

I am 12 days post opt and my left side is hurting. I don't know what I could have done but it is really bothering me; when I cough, turn a certain way, bend down to pick something up, sit. The only time that it is not bothering me is when I lay completely flat. I have an appt on Wed, but do you think that I should call the dr earlier? Or do you think that I am just sore from the surgery and it is my body's way of healing?

I have 12 and can't wait!!!! I am thinking that I should be there for Valentines Day!! I had put it for my New Year's goal challenge on the thread but I don't think that I am going to make it!!

SOOOO happy for you!!!!!

We went today and I had a few sips of won ton soup> That was all that I needed!!

What are your favorite foods that you use to get all of your protein in. I am new to this (6 days post opt) and I am just worried that I am not going to be getting my required amounts of protein in like I should.

You look great!!! Thank you for posting!!

Congratuations to you!!! 80 lbs is a lot of weight. I was sleeved on 12/14 and I am now down 7 lbs. I have a long way but it is a start in the right direction!!! Thank you for posting!!

I was not told anything. Though my baratric coordinator told me that I would never enjoy a meal again but my NUT told me absolutely nothing. I wonder why there is such a difference between everyone's Dr's and NUT. You would think that they would be pretty much on the same page.

I got mine 12/14 and no complaints here. Just debating on if I should start the full liquids Sat/Sun like they recommended or wait a little longer. Thoughts?
