This couldn't be further from the truth. All a person has to do is DRINK their calories and that can come in MANY forms... soda, McDonald shakes, and lots of other things.

All great advice. He promises he won't do anything until we are in a better situation. I do believe him. He says he is fully aware of his past behavior and won't do anything to screw things up. Thank u everyone for your advice. I am going to stick this out a little longer. I've never prayed but maybe now is a good time to start. I just want peace in my life Thank u everyone again. It feels great have this group xoxo

I am 5'3 starting weight 223 wearing 1x tops and tight 18 bottoms.
Weight now 150-152 medium tops and 10/12 bottoms
I'm currently in a five week stall. I don't always eat the right things, but I manage to stay under my 1200 calories and work out 4/5 times a week. Guess it's time to shake things up!!!

...and starting one's period immediately before, during, or after surgery.

Do you guys ever regret your surgery? liquid diet? I'm tired of liquids can I eat a taco? I'm always hungry? Two week stall? liquid diet? Slow loser? Telling anyone? Leak? Complications? Diet? Liquid diet? Gas? Bmi? Sex? Time off work? Loose skin? Trolling?
Search bar: does amazing things!!!!
There's a ton of amazing things you can find! If you don't feel like your question was answered well, go to the search bar there's thousands of us! Enjoy!

I was married before being sleeved, so maybe I don't qualify to answer this one.
Hopefully, he's a nice, sincere man, and not a shallow Hal kind of guy. Get to know him first, let him get to know you, then decide whether to let him in on your weight loss history!

When you go to pull on your Spanx and realize you've out skinny-ed them!!! I think going down a size in compression garments is 10x more exciting for me than going down a dress size. NSVs are really the greatest motivation in this journey.

It's true, you will get use to it. I'm nine months out, and if I forget and take a sip of Water, my tummy will quickly remind me to stop. You don't want to get the slimes!

Girl, your rockin that sleeve!

Agree! It can only help you. On my way back from Mexico we connected through the Atlanta airport. Luckily we had a two hour connection, because we landed at one concourse, and took off about four concourses away. My family was like " Lets get you a wheelchair." No way, I'm slow, but I'm walking.

Oh dear.. LOL, here we go again hijacking the thread!

I agree with Laura. Just stay active and don't lie around. This is why I disagree with patient who need to travel and get wheelchairs at the airport. It's bad enough you sit on the plane for hours.. Sitting in a wheelchair at airport is counterproductive and possibly dangerous.
WALK WALK WALK!

Gmanbat, I dont know if I missed it in you response or you did, but another type is a brain clot. Just buried a friend last Thursday who suffered a brain blood clot post varicose vein surgery.
The Worst Headache You’ve Ever Had
If your doctor hasn’t told you to expect a severe headache after your procedure, and you do not normally suffer from severe headaches, you should seek immediate medical attention. A severe headache can be caused by a blood clot traveling to the brain after surgery.

Sorry for the multiple posts, folks. I just felt that this subject needed to be addressed due to the high anxiety level about it. Anyone else feel free to post what you can find and make observations.
Not to minimise any of this but all operations carry the risk of blot clots, especially hip replacements and ones that make you sedentary after the operation.

I will be sleeved 4 years at the end of next month.
I sill love my sleeve . I just wish that it helped more with junk food which goes down way too easy. It still takes a lot of willpower not to graze, but I still can't eat large portions for my meals.

My BMI is 25!!! Okay, so it's 25.9, but I'm still so excited!!

Well, I have no clue, but it's very nice! That's why I wondered? If my new "friend" is reading, I just want to say HI! **waving**

I remember feeling light headed the first two/three weeks. It went away when i was able to add some calories and drink more.

Lots of people feel this way. You're not eating anything. Your body does not care for this. You're likely going through carb withdrawals as well. It's alot like the induction phase of Atkins. As far as weight loss....you need to forget about that for a while. It's not likely your body has burned any significant fat at this point. Give it time. It will.

Take charge! I too after 15 months had gained 7 pounds back. Its so easy to do. But now I took charge and cut my cals by a few hundred per day and started working out and am back down to where I was.... I am even trying to lose an additional 10 pounds. YOU CAN DO THIS!
1.) focus on Water between meals. get 64 or more ounces for sure
2.) when you wanna snack go for veggies and low fat dip, or high Protein low cal foods like tuna and cottage cheese.
3.) burn extra calories every day working out, walking more, taking the stairs, just move more!
you can take charge... don't give up, and on the bright side its only 6 pounds.... set your goal to lose 1 pound per week. :-) I am with ya!

RIP Fred, I didn't know you but hopefully we will meet one day in God's kingdom! Prayers are with your friends and family in this time of sorrow...

I am sad with tears! We were sleeve on the same day. Words cannot express my thoughts. My concern and Prayer for the family. There but the Grace of God go I. For truly it could have been Me or you. Lord for his Family Bless all of them
Today.
