I had good luck with iced drinks. Ice water, iced flavored water and very cold protein shakes.. Just keep hydrated. It takes a little time. I love chicken but coul not eat it for about 6 weeks- it did not taste good. Hang in there you will be marvelous!!!!!

Ha! I have 26 year old twins... One lives in Chicago, one in Sweden! ( we lived there for a while).

You will do so well! How wonderful that the sleeve is available now for us so we can finally loose all this extra wt. and get on with life! Keep me in the loop.

I wore my new shorts out with friends tonight!!. They all had tacos... I ate cottage cheese!!!!!!

You appear yoing in your photo. I am 61- iff I can do this so can you!!!! You have already been brave having the surgery, now take on the rest of it!!! You eill win!!!

I just bought a size 15/16 shorts!!!! Yeah! I was in an 18 in April!!!!!( forgive the typos !)

Hang in there.. I am 6 weeks out and have lost 33 pounds. It is an amazing thing. Keep eating the things you are supposed to eat. i am at a point that I have to remember to eat. And lots and lots of water...Be well!

I haven't told a lot of people that I had a sleeve done. I just didn't want the negative. This is the new normal. Go out with your friends.. you can be the designated driver. And there is nothing wrong with talking 2/3 of a restaurant meal home in a box. You can eat it later..... and you can still have fun.. and be a healthy weight.

I am just a month out, but had staples when I had back surgery.. It didn't hurt a bit. I was pleasantly surpried.. You will be fine.

( for my sleeve I just had dermabond and steri strips)
