Thank you so much for posting this inspiring video! Amazing...

It was nite my child but my grandchild that i was worried about ... But .... He was totally ok with G'ma getting on the floor with him...he understood G'ma has an owie ! even showed him my bandages so he could relate...
Not lifting is for your safety ... Don't want to tear open your new stomach and cause a leak... Even if you had to find a neighborhood school kid to be there with you the first couple weeks ((school should be out for summer)) would be a great help... Or a niece or nephew?
hope it helps .... Good luck!!

tlaff .... Yea on the leak test!!!!!

Good luck to all of you getting sleeved next week... It is the beginning of a new healthier you! Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels....

Prayers and well wishes sent your way...glad you are in the hospital under a doctor care... Should be getting better soon..

You look great! Good job...

Good luck to ALL June sleeves!!!!!

I can hardly wait....i go to my primary care physician on the 5th....he was the one to suggest WLS, so i am really excited to show him the weight loss in 4 weeks ... Great posting, thanks

Good luck to ALL June sleeves!!!!!

3 weeks post-op today and have lost 31 lbs....
I don't get the old "hungry" feeling, i get a "empty" feeling about every 2.5 - 3 hours... I eat about 1/4 to 1/3 C and i am satisfied .... That feels so good, to have some kind of portion control...
I do find head hunger sneaks in every once in awhile but since i was reading on here months before my sleeve, i knew it was going to happen... Its easier to handle it, sine i knew what it was...
I have 1 more week of soft and mushy ... Next Thursday i get to eat a "general" diet....i have to admit to kind of makes me nervous .... Ok, it really scares the cap out of me! what if i mess up...what if i eat the "wrong" food (just cause i can) .. to me, wrong foods, are ones that got me where i was... (bread, chips, Pasta, carbs, carbs, carbs)... i am home alone every day... I want summer here, so i can sit outside in my wheelchair so i am away from the food... Harder to get into the house, so this could help...
Wow, sorry about the pity pot talk, and length of this post, but i feel better getting it out in the open... Thank you all for listening...

When i have a craving for chocolate.....i eat a sugar free double chocolate pudding .... It helps me.

You look fabulous! you are an inspiration...... Thank you for sharing your life with us...

I was SO hoping this was going to happen to me.... i don't think it did, unless it takes awhile... ...i have always slept with just a sheet or nothing at all AND a fan going pointed directly at me... still doing this at 3 weeks post-op....
Maybe my body is just a slow learner....i will keep my fingers crossed that it happens sooner or later....
About how long after surgery did your body cool down?
thanks

Thank you for reading and replying. How was your experience with Dr. Garcia? Any issues, complications, ect? I am very interested in people's progress after they had the sleeve.
