Coming up on my 3 month surgiversary, on Oct. 11th. I hit -40lbs mark today! Woop!! And to think, that is only 10 lbs away from 50! AND, I'm in the 170's now!! 179 to be exact. This is gonna be a great day!! Will try to post some updated pics later.

And I, for one, don't mind being "eye candy." For once. In my life.

Assless chaps and chrome speedo!

When I saw the headline I was kind of expecting another constipation/BM thread. I was intrigued. lol

The liquid, pureed and soft food stages suck balls. I consider it penance for being a fatso and something you just have to endure. And I mean that in the nicest way possible .
You'll come out a stronger person.

From now on I'm calling it a pouch just to annoy pedantic ppl!!!

Because it really matters if I say pouch/stomach/sausage sack/food sack people say pouch all the time it’s not the original stomach and a easier way of defining between what we used to have and what we have now.
So give me a break!

I can't drink anything aside from Water either. Everything tastes too sweet.

Good morning all! Today is one week since I was sleeved, I am down 14lbs. (27 total since preop diet). I feel good. I'm still on a liquid only diet, but am allowed to have thinned hot cereals. I'm having alot of discomfort when eating or drinking anything so I wind up getting only a bite in here and there. It kinda feels as if my pouch cramps up when food enters it. Water too. Warm things definitely go down easier than cold.
I have a check up with my surgeon tomorrow, he'll tell me I guess if this is normal. I'm struggling to get any protien in. Fluids are up to par though.
Have a great day fellow sleevers!!!

Congrats! I'll save a spot on the loser's bench! Feel better soon!

Good luck to you as well. I had my final preop appointment today. I've lost 20 lb since getting my date scheduled! They said that loss shows them I mean business and that I should do well with my sleeve. They've set a goal for me to be 129lb..... What???? I can not even imagine that number. I'm so excited, for my self as well as everyone here. I hope everyone will post before and after shots as we all progress.
God bless.

Thanks keep me posted on your progress.

August 30 is my one-year surgiversary. Congrats to you both on your dates and I'm so looking forward to seeing your journeys unfold!!!

....in a size medium. That is all.

I am on day 3 of 7 day liquid preop. It was killing me yesterday. My mother in law brought over 30 (!) cupcakes for the kids and my husband made BBQ for dinner. Ugh!
I took myself to the gym and took my frustrations out on the elliptical. Still wanted a cupcake! I did take a swipe at the frosting and immediately felt guilty.
I am trying to keep my eye on the prize and know that I can get through this. My surgery is 8/30, can't wait!

I am 8/30/12. I'm right here with you! It's difficult but I'm surviving. Good luck to you!!

The coordinator just called and let me know that I was approved!!! She said she had a bunch of people waiting for her with appointments etc. but she wanted to let me know that the approval went through and she would be calling me back later to schedule the surgery etc.
So excited, just had to share! :D :D :D :D
Odee

I've been lurking for a while. I am scheduled for surgery in just 14 days. This is the year I take back my life, my health, my body. I'm so excited to take this first step.
All of you have been a wealth of help and information whether you've realized it or not.

Happy Birthday! May you have many more! And as a skinny loser
