MSVEEKAYWHY

3months out & im 50lbs down! extremely happy

chell im going thru the same thing & at 5 weeks too! great question! i would also like to know how many calories we should be getting in as well. since i snack all the time, i wonder if im eating TOO much?

thankyou all for the replies (good&bad, lol)! im getting the sense that ill find out about my alcohol tolerances on my own. when im ready, of course, & very slowly & wisely. i dont feel too bad about it anymore. thanx guys!

hey guys! I'm about 4 weeks out & I've been trying to get my head wrapped around the feeling of not being able to "party" like most my age. I say this because i know i'll never indulge in alcohol like my peers. I feel like I'm going to be missing the experiences and fun I should be having. anyone feel the same? (don't get me wrong, I don't regret my sleeve AT ALL)

yeah! im almost 4 weeks & did this a couple days ago. i made the mistake of trying to wash it down w/ water! ( i know i know, SO STUPID!) i hated the feeling. i immediately puked:/ oh well, ill never do that again! lesson learned

inspirational(:

being pacific islander, its been said we never loose our thighs! i find that SO TRUE!!!!

omggg i totally agree ivy!!!

im finding myself snacking more n not drinking enough protein. im only 3 1/2 weeks out so i intend on fixing this asap! but jus wondering if any of u pre-opers use protein bars? if so, when were u able to start & what kind do u use?

my whole process took 3months, couldve been 2&1/2 but i chose to have my sleeve 2weeks later (i felt like i was mentally unprepared). but yeah, a week after my doc visit, i was approved by insurance & scheduled my surgery

heyyy! we're kind of on the same track. I'm 2 weeks post-op too! & I'm equally as excited!

no, no hernia repair. I can't believe it could mean "full", i only took 2 bites! lol, but i did stop eating right after the pain started. thank you for the help guys(:

get pain beneath my chest everytime i ate today. i just started purees today(2weeks postop). anyone know whats the deal? it goes away after about 10 minutes, but im concerned.

oic, thanks for the clarification! Glad youve decided to be a part of this community(:

hi keri & welcome! jus curious, i have united healthcare as well but i was not recquired a several month supervised diet. whats the recquirement?

CashandCarry has them

ughhh! my moms out of town so ive been taking care of my little brother. cooking breakfast and dinner for him has been the hardest part of it!

I'm 21yrs old & i was sleeved on april 30th. I'm still on the liquid diet. anyways, ever since then i've had a lot of random moments where i feel overwhelmingly hot. i don't believe i have a temperature, since the feeling comes and goes. can anyone relate?

yea! started driving exactly A WEEK out. i was in the same boat, had to get away from my house!

where's your pain meds girl? lol i HAVE to have one before i go to sleep & im 6days post op

omg im on the same boat! sleeved on monday. but the lbs are dropping sooo fast! thats what is really keeping me positive!

soooooo jealous right now!!! lol enjoy while you can:D enjoy your favorite meals now, just dont over do it. &you'll be fine(:

omg i would kill for some chinese food right now lol!

im doing 2weeks liquids and 2weeks pureed & so on

i can keep everything down. but im not drinking as much as i think im suppose too. what i was taught to do is finish 1oz of liquid over a 15minute period. i find that if i dont do that, my chest starts to hurt. &according to my weight, i should be getting 80grams of protein in a day. but its looking more like 40gramd right now.
