..sorry to interrupt "your eating popcorn" can we eat pop corn? how long til i can eat pop corn i on my second week n i read to stay off pop corn until 6 most after surgery.. and a lot of websites with resources back that up.. man i thought i would never be able to eat pop corn.... how does it feel going down n how long it takes u to digest it..?

girl it is so hard lol, my nutritionist was talking about pureed foods n one person in my weight loss group in miami was like does that mean i can puree platano lol i started laughing so hard lol...she was like can i make plantain soup lol.. man my mom makes tostones with salami in the morning n man my room is close to the kitchen so that aroma fills my room n i am like uuuugh lol.. n she looks at me ha u cant eat this, ur sleeved lol.. n i said one day i will lol so funny!

I am 11 days post opp n today wasn't a good day. I tried to have my purees this week which have been hard but today I threw up 3times since surgery. I dranked to fast n after that anything I put in my mouth felt stuck n had real bad pain so I had to burp it out. Right now I started over with liquids hopefully tomorrow will be better! N no I don't regret my surgery!!

Hey paisana! lol hows Dominican Rep its so cool that u can communicate from way over there! Shout out to my Dominican people, you know we cant stay away from water, and beautiful beaches!.. keep us posted on ur progress.

So jealous right now .. Jk that sounds awesome. Hmmm there's a pool at my local park I will ask them how much it to join. Thanks

i love ur schedule, i am doing p90x insanity was too hard for me lol.. right now i am working on my arms n legs until i am authorized to really "Bring It" lol..

LilMissDiva couldnt have said it better!!! You look great by the way!!! Love the hills

thanks guys for your advice, i will wait until i see the doc again, the beach will be there waiting for me so no rush... i took a cold shower to to relieve my self of the beach craving lol...

i agree with everyone, but i will just stick with exercise and spandex n my olive oil Shea butter cream that i mixed.. and is working.. other than that if i have some skin left.. who ever God puts in my path (love, relationship wise) they are going to have to enjoy it, and love me for who i am. Later on when i have kids then i'll think about plastics.

what i am using, which have helped before with my stomach marks is a mixture of pure virgin olive oil with 100% pure and real Shea butter.. The Shea butter you can get at any beauty store it comes in a small 4oz tube and its clumpy, very solid dark gry in color n it smells good!.. just use any bottle n put the butter in the bottle n add as much olive oil to get a smooth consistancy, doenst matter if there are clumps u can just spread it over it.. stays in the whole. From the times i have used it in the past it has tremendously fade my stretch marks, you can only see them if u are literally bending unto my stomach...other than that i just started using it 6 days op .

thank you so much for replying, I talked to the doc assistant who checked my incisions and she said they look good, i don't have stitches, i guess they sealed it from the inside.. she told i can do moderate exercise, upper and lower but no abdominal until one month out.. i don't know if swimming lightly makes a diff.. i just want to dive down hold my breath go back up, move my feet in the hand while inside the water.. hmmm makes me want to go right now lol !!!

I was sleeved on march 5, its been 10 days since, and i live in fl.. supper sunny right now especially in Miami. the temperature is great, the wind is blowing.. and my body feels so hot! it needs to be submerged... My point is that I love the beach, n now its the perfect time to go to the beach! but since its only been 10 days out, i am concern on how the salty water may affect my sleeve..or skin.. My incisions do not hurt anymore, and looked healed.. i just want to dive n swim my life out, since i have been stuck at home for nearly two weeks now.. So i don't know what to do..

SAME HERE, also i am trying to change my profile pic.. when i do, my old pic still shows..

YOU GO GIRL, WAY TO GO!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS GIRL N LOSING THE INCHES !! WOOP WOOP !!! :tongue2:

the same thing for me, now when i breath my left shoulders hurts, only when i breath deep, my doc said its gas from the surgery, she prescribed me some gas med, that i am going to go later on to cvs to order it..

how to we attack the ticker? i have one tried pasting the url n it doesnt show..

Nice job I like that u replaced eating with running sounds awesome ...about the app is it the irun.? App or can it be any app? I am on my second day of week two my doc said I could start moderate exercises no heavy listing only upper n lower body looking forward to it!!

Amazing!!!! Awesome weight loss!! your on point!

i must also confess, your picture also inspired me to do the surgery!! Success is awesome!!! Great Job rocking your sleeve! Cant wait!

Hey there, I hope i can give you some positive motivation, i am brand new to this sleeve world but i can say that i am happy i made the best choice in the world. I was sleeved on March 5, 2012.. i feel fantastic, and am already seeing weight loss! Besides the losing weight, i really wanted to do this procedure because diet and exercise and my old methods of losing weight were not working for me. I just turned 22, so young, to be sleeved i know.. heard it all, been there, so many negatives.. but at the point i was in my life i knew it was time for a "drastic" change! i have always been obese since the age of 5, and thank God that i didn't acquire medical problems, though i did have asma around the 3rd grade. Besides that, i was really thinking about my future, 22, single, "Freaking Fat", didn't have self esteem issues but still, looking at the mirror n just looking at my self i felt horrible.. The big factor for me was that i the rate that i was going, gaining weight every month, not just eating away, baking away.. i was going to have medical issues. One of my biggest motivation is my best friend, everything happens for a reason. she was also obese, got pregnant, had pre diabetes, had the baby, never lost the baby weight, kept eating, gained 30 more pounds, had to be taken to the er, tested her sugar levels above 700, had to keep her for nearly 3 weeks in the hospital. she was 20 at the time, so how is a 20 year old going to live with diabetes and the later on complications?.. tick tock for me, she lost half of her weight, because of diabetes, i lost some, but gained it right back. I am 22 i want to get married n have kids, i don't want to be obese and pregnant to be in the same situation my friend was in.. make story short, the decision for my sleeve, was the best, its only been a week (tomorrow) and i feel success already! so i hope this helps u can email me any time u want!. oh and don't listen to that friend of yours, they are just jealous, they wont have a fat friend standing next to them any more!.

i have my own video diary since my six month wait, til now, but its just for personal use. maybe one day i will post but right now i feel like i dont want to expose my sleeve to the world.. just to you guys...

yay, yea thats the same plan i have! Private room and all, it was more like i was in a hotel than a hospital lol love my health care plan its awesome!!! they require the six month supervised visits, medical history if any.. but mines was approved i guess based on my weight height n the six month evaluation i guess.. it seemed like it took forever but it went by fast.. sleeved monday the 5, feeling good loving my sleeve!!!

i am on day 5. temperature the same, felt cold but now its more hot than cold at times.. a little dizzy when i wake up, so i drink my vitamin shake n then 30 mins out sip my isopure.. or crystal light, water doesnt sit good on my pouch dont know y.. eat slowly or i would fell sharp pain as it goes down.. n sit up straight when i eat, if not my stomach starts cramping.. but so far so good.. have not weight my self since "Tom" came the day of the surgery, left n came back.. so i'll probably start my ticker next week.. sip sip slowly n walk, walk walk...
