Yes clothes shopping is MUCH better! But I feel like I don't want to buy alot because I don't want to be in the size very long! haha. And some jeans fit better than others. I am so happy though to be out of the "plus" sizes!

Please dont do it! It's a bad habit. it would be like a smoker smoking again. The carbonation can stretch your sleeve. Sodas just aren't healthy anyways, remember, you took yourself off of it to begin with, the hard part is over. I had my sleeve done in May and yes here lately I have had the urge and even took a sip and oh wow, it hurt my stomach instantly. Never again. Stay healthy.

I'm a little bit of a slow loser I think (which is okay with me). I lost 17 pounds in the two-week pre-op low carb diet but only 15 since surgery on May 3 and I haven't had any food that are cheat foods. As long as I see the scale going down two or three pounds a week I am totally fine with that. I expect a stall at some point and I'll power through it. I haven't added much exercise yet but have an appt. tomorrow with my NUT and Fitness Consultant. I think when I add some exercise in and get my calories up a little, I might see a larger loss, but who knows what my body is going to decide to do. So far, a little Peanut Butter is the only thing I've tried that has not agreed with my sleeve. One of the things I have noticed is that I am much more 'in tune' to what my body is telling me. If I am a little bit down on my Water, I get tired, so I up my H2O. I am pretty much able to gulp down water now too, so I can swig a glass before bed if I need to. I also had my best NSV ever and posted it in a different section. Put a pair of pants on and they promptly fell to the ground! My husband had to come in and see what I was laughing so hard at. I'm wearing clothes in my closet that I haven't worn for many years and other clothes that I wore that were tight now fit really well. It's such an incredible feeling and a great morale booster!

Thank you! It is now day 4 with 10 pounds down and still haven't gotten sick Knock on wood lol

Let me know how you tolerate the mushies! Our heaven sent mushies.

I love your confidence. Just wait till your at goal. Your going to be one hot cookie to handle lol

I've been told I have lost 10 years ...

Everyone whose pix I've seen on here looks younger post-sleeve.

Next time I will watch my words more carefully when they can be pervertedly interpreted for other meanings hahaha!!! I can't have anyone breaking the code of all of woman-kind!
No pretzels, girl!! That's my point! lol
So, how bout this weather!!!

4 days here. Just do whatever feels right and no swinging from the tightropes.

The full sign... I dread those stupid hiccups

I can start cream Soups on the 24th. I was sleeved 5/16 so first week was just liquids and Jello. I can't wait for a yogurt and cream of broccoli!!

I licked Doritos today. I stood by the trash can and licked about 4 of them and threw them away. You woul have thought it was a drug addict trying to get their fix lol. It was sooo good. Sad face.

Good to know about this issue. Have to go back to work tomorrow - but I have a bathroom right next in our store so it's a few yards to dash if I need to, but will take the advice on a spare kit of knickers and pants - good thinking!!
In our house we call the runs "the squirts" here, but I told my husband last night, "no more squirts for me - now I could spray paint a truck".

I am officially a sleever!!!!!!! I have some pain but its bearable. Thanks for all the support*******

I love me some Wendys!

I hAve been waiting for this week since this journey Began 2 months ago! I am one pound from my first big scale victory. I can not wait to work my butt off this week to see that 1 on Sunday. Loving my sleeve and all the great things it is doing for me!!

Waiting here for a room to get ready for surgery.thanks to everyone wishing me well and congrats. I start my new life today.

Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited
