Finding Myself

Do you know how we can best avoid kidney stones? Is it directly related to the amount of protein we are eating?

You are approx 1 month out, right? I have been talking to two wonderful ladies, one sleeved here in the U.S. and one in Mexico, and they are both so positive and doing so well. They saw that first month as an adventure, and said to just get it in your mind that "this is not forever" and you WILL enjoy food again. One of them had a 1/4 of a burger and 2 french fries yesterday on a family outing, and the other still camps and enjoys wine and loves to cook. They just do it all in much smaller, healthier quantities now!! So that day is coming!!

Also, at some point, our stomachs do hold approx 4-6 oz at a time, after all of the healing is done. So while you may not chug that entire bottle, you will eventually be able to take normal drinks of water. Spacing it out more is the key!!

And believe me, I am NOT sleeved yet and these are the things I tell myself on a daily basis.

Good luck!!!

OMG! You are so beautiful!!!

I am so happy to be reading your comments!! What a well written blog! Thank you!
