Wow! Fantastic loss and amazing growth. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey too and can't wait for a post of some pics of the lovely new you! -
You are certainly welcome. I'm positive you'll start feeling better with each passing day!

OMG! Just read on another post that you only need to loose 4 more pounds pre op! That is so fantastic and exciting. Good for you! I'm really happy that you decided to take this journey. Best wishes for continued success!

I'm glad to hear your getting that much needed protein in. Are you drinking protein shakes? I know my nutristionist is totally against them, but I drink them anyway. I'm doing super great! Today I had a delicious In & Out burger that was protein style and it went down soooo easy! Life is good when you can eat a modified burger and still loose weight.

Hi Diva! I am doing good. I am finally able to eat a little more so I've been getting in more protein. Very happy! Thanks for asking! How are you doing??

Just like the "stall" I think this emotional break is typical for us sleevers and for some reason something we all go through it. I know I felt sad and slightly depressed a few weeks out, but it really did get better. These feelings of worry, doubt, disappointment, and maybe even a little regret will past. Just focus on letting your body heal and do what it needs to do to re-establish an equilibrium.Prayer and meditation may help or if that's not your thing dive into a good book, new video game, or try to figure out what makes women tick! LOL! I am a bit of an eternal optimist and can always find something good to say, but I'm not blowing smoke here... it really and truly gets better, in fact it gets pretty dam amazing! Congratulations on your new life and best of luck!! -

I so can't figure out how to navigate this new format, but hope you get this message. Just wanted to check on how you're doing and let you know I'm thinking of you.

Ok I'm totally lost with the changes and updates made to this site. There is no ease of use and it took far too long to even figure out how to post this. I definately don't think I'll be hanging out here as much.

You're the sweetest!! Thanks you for all your support.

I just wanted to add this as an addendum to my last blog post as I'm lurking on the site everyday and I see many people have reached this dark place too. I just wanted to say the feeling of sadness, confusion, anger, and yes even remorse will pass. Reviewing what I wrote I can see I was hurting and knee deep in a bad stall. Not understanding the stall and not being for warned about it inevitable happening really messed up my head. Now I know it passes and really can beyond my control. It's something this crazy body decides to do and I just have to continue to do what I know is right; eat well, drink plenty, a get some exercise in. At 3 and 1/2 months out down 30 pounds pre-op and and another 36 post-op I've never felt better in my life! So much energy and a little bit of pride I really couldn't ask for more. Remorse? No. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? HELL YES!!!

Hi!! Good for you venturing out and congrats on your sleeve. So full liquid stage is pudding, soup, and yogurt right? I think it's the most challenging because you get tired of the sweet stuff pretty quick. For me trying different cream soups really helped because of their rich savory taste. Cream of wild mushroom, tomato bisque, cream of asparagus, and even cream of brocoli were all good to me. How much longer are you going to be at this stage? Just focus on how these lovely light meals are contributing to your weight loss and bringing you one step closer to goal. I don't feel I grasped this during the limited eating phases, but ultimately this is the time to get your mind to focus on the fact that food is primarily about nourishment. I wish you the best of luck and welcome to the loser's bench!!!
