i also drink from a straw now, i noticed that i get alot more fluids in, i dint do it at the beginning bcuz of all the air & bloating,but now im 9 wks post op, so i think its ok! & it does help me alot

So as a mom of two girls, we tend to have pizza once a week for dinner. The girls love to snack on popcorn too. And to boot, this week was a bake sale at school where I had to make brownies. Just out of c curiosity, at what point will I be able to have a bite of any of those items? I am 3 weeks post-op and doing a liquid diet so I guess I am still daydreaming about regular food

Tears of joy!!!! Because for the first time in about 10 years, my blood pressure was normal!!! And not the high side of normal, but textbook normal ( what my nurse said)!
To make my day even better, I have lost a total of 48pounds since day of surgery! That means I am a third of my way to goal!!
Now I have to seriously start thinking about getting active and joining a gym!
So, while I raise my Protein shake to all my sleeve brothers and sisters, I say thanks for the advice and support you so freely dispense, and the motivation to keep on rocking my sleeve!!!!

NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE HAPPY FOR YOU. THIS INCLUDES THOSE WE LOVE. SOMETIMES, OUTSIDE SUPPORT CAN BE MORE SUPPORTIVE. PEOPLE (INCLUDING LOVE ONE'S) BECOME JEALOUS, THIS HAS MUCH TO DO WITH CONTROL ISSUES.

. YOU NO LONGER MAKE OTHER PEOPLE SHINE, BECAUSE NOW YOU OUT SHINE THEM
