The only problem with that is that she is staying with me. So she will be seeing what I eat sigh....

I had the sleeve done on 12/14/10. I told no one but my mom, my hubby and 5 close friend (who all live away). I chose NOT to tell anyone else because I did not want to have to hear all the negativity that usually comes with WLS. When it comes to time to eat with the extended family, I always involve myself with the kids and no one notices that I do not eat (we are usually a larger group also, so it is easily done). However, I am in a pickle of a mess because next week, I have a friend that is coming to visit from CO. She does not know about my surgery and I know that she is going to ask why I am not eating much. What do I tell her? I am not ready to tell her that I had the sleeve. She is also going to want to drink and I don't know what to tell her. How can I answer her questions with out revealing that I had the surgery?

Good Morning... Had a good weekend. My grils were in their first pageant. I had my oldest daughter, Lillian who won 1st place in her age group and my other daughter did not place but she still did great. Went to a Easter Egg hunt yesterday after church and then caught up on clothes and trying to get the house in order for my dear friend who is coming from CO Monday after Easter!!! Menu today: (4 months out) B- strawberry Protein shake L- cheese D- ???? (don't know if I have to bring the girls to gymnastics) S- ??? Cheese? Vites- done water- working on it. Exercise- will go running somewhere today.

Finally getting a chance to post. I had my 4 month anniversary for my sleeve yesterday!!! I have not lost what I wanted to lose but I know that slow and steady will get me to that goal weight. I actually had a NSV today with someone telling me that I looked good. Menu: (4months out) B- strawberry Protein shake L- cheese D- Tuna salad S- pork skins Vites- gone Water- working on it Exercise- going at lunch

Good Tuesday Morning!! Not happy to me for not getting any exercise in yesterday. I WILL GET IT IN TODAY. I also need to schedule another appt with the NUT. I have some questions that I need for her to address. Today's menu (3.5 months out) B- 1/2 strawberry Protein shake L- 2 boiled eggs D- ???

I am almost 4 months out and I was wondering when did you start eating frest fruit and salads again. My info says 4-5 months but I just want to see what others are/have done.

I have not posted in a while either (the baby was sick and it is harder to get on the computer at home than work). Yesterday I did not make good choices and did not get my Water in. I am refocused today. Menu (3.5 months out) B- 1.4 of strawberry Protein shake L- ham and cheese roll up D- Pork sausage S- pepper jack cheese and marinated mozzarella cheese vites: gone water: working it exercise: planning on running 2 miles (weather permitting while the girls are at gymnastics)

Since being sleeved, have you ever had a day where you did not make the best food choices? I had a day like that yesterday and today I am feeling guilty about it. I did not over do it but I just did not choose the right foods for me to eat and I did not get all my Water in. If you have had these days, how do you handle them and the guilty feeling afterwards or better yet, how do you not let yourself get to that point?

Today it is: B- cheese stick L- Grilled chicken D- Ham/turkey cheese roll Snack- Pork skins Vites- gone water- working on it Exercise- gym at lunch

Bless your heart th the puke. The baby was up only 2 times last night. He is a child that does not need much sleep; however mom does!!! Thankfully today is Friday and I am ready for the weekend. scale moved again. If it keeps it up, I may be able to get to my Easter goal. I had my dr appt on Wed with my dr and he was not all excited about my stalls that I had. He wants me to see the NUT again and wants me to increase my cardio to 20-30 minutes 5 times a week in addition to my weights. I do my weights on my lunch break and I do not know how I am going to squeeze in the cardio, however I have to because he will check on me thru my husband. (They work together occasionally) Today's menu (3 months out) B- 2 boiled eggs L- 1/3 cup red Beans (no rice) D- thinking a fish portion. S- 1/2 Protein bar and string cheese vites- gone water- working exercise- going at lunch

I too have heard of it but what exactly is it? Can any one tell me?

Happy Wed!!! This week has been a long week so far. Did not get all that great yesterday working out but I am feeling it a little today. Hub is suppose to take me to eat out for my brithday this weekend and he keeps asking me where I want to go. I have no clue. food has no appeal to me since having the sleeve. I have a dr appt with my dr today. I hope that he is not too upset with me. I think that I have only lost like 7-8 lbs this past month.

COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!!!!

Thank you. On March 4th he had tubes put in and his adenoids removed. He will be 8 months on the 20th and had been having terrible ear infections. He would not show any fever or anything like that so by the time that we actually caught the ear infections, they were BAD!! I would take him out but, being that we live in Louisiana, we are starting to get our spring blooms and I don't know if he is reacting from his allergies (which he gets from me because I have bad allergies) or if it is just from the surgery. We go back to the dr on Thrus so I will see then. Thankfully my husband works with his ENT (he is a RN) but his Dr. did not have any surgeries scheduled for today so he did not get to see him.
