sleeve 4 me

WOW! Awesome job! Way to go!!!

My cloud lifted day 14, but I still struggle from time to time. One of my issues right now is that I don't enjoy food anymore, and that's depressing for me but I know I will get through it.

We had a wonderful time today at Mimi's Cafe. It was hilarious to see us all eating together. The whole bill came to $16.00 for ALL 5 of us to eat (thanks again Pam)...CAN YOU IMAGINE??? We spent 4 hours sharing sleeve information. It was awesome . We are planning to meet again next month. Please let me know if you are interested in joining us.

All I know is that I miss those darn diet soda's soooo much especially diet A & W...I may try them again, but only after I've reached my goal

Everyone is different...I've been right where you are...it's such a terrible feeling. I didn't realize this would be one of the most difficult issues to deal with after surgery. You just can't imagine it, when you love food. All I can say is it will get better. I don't stress myself out any longer. I try to eat as much as I can, and if for some reason I don't, I don't. I do notice if I don't eat, I'm super tired. So I do try and get down as much as possible, and make sure to take my vitamins ...IT WILL GET BETTER

WHITE GRAIN BREAD...it hurt so bad going down ...I'm just gonna stay away from it for now.

That is awesome! I'm currently wearing size 12 jeans from kohls, so I'm right behind ya -I too was a 14 or 16 misses depending on style. Yesterday I bought a pair of size 8 Bill Blass jeans at Marshalls for $12.99. They are NOT true 8's at all, maybe 10's, and I can't wait to wear them

Yayyyyyyy! Congrats

Awesome! Congrats

I had itching but no burning. I started putting a thick cream on them each morning/night and it helps

My Prayers are with you Kristy

I also was wondering about all the noises I'm hearing. I am going to ask my doctor about it at my follow up appointment next week. Sometimes it gets really bad, it's like what the heck is going on in there lol????

Amen! In Jesus name!

Amen! In Jesus name!

YES!!!! Go by faith girl!!!!

Amazing!!!! Good job

Yayyyyy! I'm so happy for you

I pray everything works out

Ahhhh the good ole days LOL! I was right there with ya! I could down a HUGE burrito, rice, beans and chips and salsa, and then after while crave something sweet, what the heck????...it's amazing to see the transformation! Now everyone I see eating, over eats too me lol

Regular crust...they asked if I wanted pan, I was like no way, for fear it may get stuck ouch! I put some regular size paper clips at the side of the plate to show just how small it actually was ...I'm hoping to be able to eat a regular size pc. of pizza soon, I really think I need to eat more, especially for energy

Thanks sleeve sista's...I really think I'm more excited about the fact I weigh lessthan my hubby now, than the 20 lbs. LOL! I love that we can relate to one another and totally understand that ...it's so cool be able to share it with you guys!

I'm 6 1/2 weeks out and 184 ...finally thinner than my hubby too LOL (he's been trying to lose too)! He weighed 186 today yayyyyyyyyyyyy! FEELS SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD!

food is soooo much better now. I was at the point where I couldn't stand it and didn't want to eat at all. I am now eating my favorite things, just smaller amounts (as you can see ). I would always get a venti size light frap now I'm SUPER content with a tall . I'm lovin it!

In case some of you are wondering how much (some of) you will be able to eat after your surgery I wanted to share this picture with you . I am 6 weeks out and this was my lunch today...a small, narrow, thin piece of veggie gourmet pizza from Round Table, and I AM STUFFED TO THE BRIM. And I don't eat the hard crust edge. It's such a miracle for me because I could eat at least 4 regular pieces before the surgery. This tool is truly a miracle.

I was just made aware that almonds (nuts) have tons of protein, and that is so awesome! I can not drink another shake right now period lol!
