  1. I used to be able to eat what I wanted, when I wanted, but now it is so strange to barely be able to eat 4 spoonfuls of refried beans! My stomach growled so much I was beginning to wonder if this would ever end.
     
    I am looking forward to eating solids again (shrimp is my fav) but so worried that all the foods I used to love will no longer be tolerated by my sleeve. I guess I just have to adjust and get used to it, but it's strange when so much of my life is centered around food. We celebrate around it, it was a way to take time to greet friends, and just an enjoyable thing to do. I think I will have to find new hobbies.
     
    I am down 20 lbs from when I first weighed in, but now I have stalled. Ok, I have to keep telling myself to stay away from the scale. On a better note, I have to wear belts with my work slacks because they are falling off my waist. WOO HOO!
  2. I had the sleeve on December 20, and after my 1 week post op appt, the doc felt that there was still too much blood in my drain tube and said I had to keep it in another week (sigh). I can't wait to get this out because it is such a pain trying to exercise with this little grenade bumping up against me all the time. I see the doc tomorrow, so I hope he takes it out!
     
    On another note, I have stalled in this second week. I have read that this might occur, so I am hopeful that the cycle will break soon, but it's hard not looking at the scale every day. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and another 10 lbs the week after my surgery, but NOTHING since then! Oh well.
