Hey Guys!! I am about 10 months post op now. Recently did a slide show on my youtube channel. CHEck IT OUT!! SUBSCRIBE!! Im about to beginning posting more often. Little tips and things ive learned after surgery! http://www.youtube.com/user/Misskeeyah3?feature=watch

I was sleeved on April 25th . I guess you could say im one of the lucky ones... i experienced NO GAS pains WHATSOEVER not even a slight tinge. I was in Moderate bt bearable pain immediately after surgery. But the drugs took care of that quickly. Morphine does NOTHING for my pain. I was switched to Dilotin not sure if thats how its spelled bt it is a GOD SENT!! i was in the hospital until Friday 04/27 and ive only taken pain meds ONCE since being home. My doctor releases us on Pureed diet. its definitely a challenge getting in liquids. Never thought id see the day that i couldnt eat a whole popsicle in one sitting but it HAPPENED.. My mother baked chicken and green beans then pureed it for me. OMG it was like a bowl of Disgusting looking HEAVEN lol.. Im just grateful that my sleeve has LOVED everything i put in it.. Im so greatful to have this opportunity to take control of my life. And guess what.. i didnt have the BUYERS remorse. im pretty sure a bad day is down the road bt for right now.. IM BLESSED!! hope everyone elses goes well!! I was sleeved by Dr. Virginia Weaver in Memphis,Tn

I feel this post.. just what i needed to hear or READ.. ive been feeling like maybe my boyfriend loved me more when i was fat.. he cheated AFTER i lost weight.. i just dont get it

Our day

How are you doing?? what are you REALLY eating? (confessions)

according to my fitness pal i had 1000 calories these last two days.. Im not sure if thats WAY too much. I dont want to under eat either lol HELP!

no 1000 EACH day lol.. Im gonna take it back down around 800 ish..

So my family.bbqed for the holiday yesterday. I was able to eat one hot dog over 2 sittings and a few beans. I felt like crying because I'm just so happy to not stick out like a sore thumb. my sleeve hasnt rejected ANYTHING..#happy

By far one of the best protein bars I've tasted. Tastes just like a cookie

Add me to the Facebook forum please

Add me to the Facebook forum please

The carbs dont bother me bc that's likelu the ONLY carbs ill eat that day

Walmart! Or kroger!!!! Try it...great snack with lowfat organic milk

I feel like this surgery has turned me into a carnivore!!!!

Thanks guys.. ironically I was at the doctor when this happened. My bp was 98/100 rather low.. ill try that 12 and 12 water thing

So ive noticed that if I get up too quick I get extremely dizzy for a few seconds..WHAT'S GOING ON???

Feels good to walk into McDonald's and spend 2.58 and have moooore than enough to eat or drink. I had a kids cheeseburger and unsweet tea :-) I finished neither

No bp meds .. have never had an issue with that.. just realized I haven't eaten today..could that be it?

I was sleeved April 25th. My doctor releases us on the pureed phase and ive been doing so well my doctor progressed me early to start incorporating regular food that my sleeve can handle so today i decided to have beef and broccoli..NO RICE.. im on eating a smidgen of it but im so happy to have a happy sleeve that doesnt have me hurling over the toilet every day of my life which was my worst fear.. i must say im almost back to normal except for the restriction..I eat waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than before not even a 4th of what i used to eat goes on my plate.. im just so happy

I'm having a rough time.. how do you all get it In.. whats your schedule what are you eating?

I remember days I'd spend 7 and 8 dollars and not be satisfied

The shakes are just so disgusting Nd the one I like is waaay expensive

Any good recipes for it?

So while in my support group i learned that often times wls patients end up picking up another addiction to mourn the loss of our DEAR DEAR BUDDY FOOD!! I have come to terms that i am or WAS a FOOD ADDICT.. im hoping and praying that my addiction swaps with something healthy like exercise or walking or writing or SOMETHING other than trying to stuff my face and make myself miserable..that would be awesome!!

Wouldn't trade my sleeve for all the tea in china
