So excited!! SW:396 Day of Surgery:380. Today:359. I was sleeved on the 15th of May. I haven't been able to walk due to my weight and bad knees but I've been released to swim:). Never been so excited about shaving my legs and getting into a swimsuit!! If people don't like what they see God made necks to turn! LOL!!! Bring on the exercise!!!

ROFL!!! I hear that!!!

So before the sleeve I craved sweets and carbs in general. Today I'm craving dill picke juice or cucumbers in vinegar and oil. I admit to taking a swig out of the ole pickel jar. I had my sleeve on 5-15-2012 and my stomach is just a tad upset. Anybody else craving strange stuff?

bcullen1: I struggle with getting in the fluids to. Hang in there girl you are not alone. I hate having to wait an hour after you eat to drink something. People who think this surgery is the easy way out must be smoking crack, cause its NOT!!

Down 20pds since my surgery on May 15. Loving the sleeve!!!

What does baby food fall under? I'm sick of yogurt, pudding, and puréed soup. I thought about a jar of chicken.

Jdhenin: Thank you SO much for telling me that!! I was about ready to start crying. Imagine... In my 40's and crying over a can of soup. I just don't want to fail and let myself and my family down. You have made me feel much better!!

Kysia81: I feel your pain! I to had surgery on the 15th and have lost between 6 to 10 pds giving the day. I feel like I can eat more then everyone else to. For instance a can of broth and then a pudding cup. I'm not sick or nasueated. Geez... This certainly isn't easy.
-
Thank you so much for the reply. I'm a week out and seem like I can take in more then everyone else. I'm scared and do not want to fail!!
-
I just ate a entire can of broth no problem but very slowly. Feel full not stuffed. I thought we were not able to take in that much. Please tell me it's because it's a slider. I wonder if my sleeve is working. I'm freaking out!

I'm 7 days post-op and have not dropped any weight in two days. Im following everything to a tee. I have lost ten for the week which I'm very, very happy about but I need to know if this is normal. I think the scale was invented by the devil!!!

G2 Gatorade was a life saver for me, as well as Campbell's chicken noodle soup (broth only). I've found using a baby spoon really helps you slow down. And remember SIP not gulp or you will have discomfort. The more you walk the better you will feel. Lose clothes and PJ's so they do not rub your staples is helpful to.

St.Alexius was wonderful!! My surgeon was Dr. Follwell. Going back to work in a week is do able as long as you have no complications or a job where you do heavy lifting. I've lost 11pds since Tuesday! I'm very excited. Are you nervous at all? You will do great!!!!
