Souledout

Ok so dr said sounded normal. Told me to take mylanta

I'm glad I read this. I was sleeved last monday and have been on a 3 day stall. I'm down 17 lbs so far but again I expected more. I did exercise (bike for 25 mins) for the 1st time in years

JenniJune - I'm happy for you that you haven't undergone the misery of dumping or sliming, they are horrible! However, I'm willing to get yelled at here, it isn't always a good thing when we can handle all those things early out. Speaking as an "old timer" (2 years out this week), we see plenty of people who are freshly post-op come on here and say how ecited they are that they have no problem handling a bunch of foods, when they should be asking themselves whether they should actually be eating them, regardless of ability. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Yes, I am technically capable of eating bread and pasta and swigging a soda, does that mean I should? If I could at a few weeks out or months out, should I have? No, the answer is no.

Stepped on the scale this morning... 193! Down 4# this week! 85#s officially gone forever, 4lbs closer to my goal, and every time the amount of weight I have left to lose goes down, I get a little excited... 43# to go!

Not to where I have LOST someones medical records, and then in not so many words called them a Liar or just plain Ignorant. No I have not done that!
Besides, this is about them, not me! They won't even admit to a mistake, they say that I am mistaken, so yes that pisses me off and I have every right to be upset about it! If you don't feel that way then I'm sorry about that but this is how I feel & this message board permits me to say how I feel.

On the losers bench now. Very groggy still

Just got my IV already hadda mini meltdown but better now. Ready to join the losers bench. Please keep my seat warm

Getting sleeved on Monday and getting nervous. I'm excited too but nervous

Lemonade and add strawberry protein. Get it ice cold and it is delish

I'm giddy today knowing this will be my last 4th of July ever at this weight!!!!..anybody else?

I had to add another one!
DANCING! I'm so ready to be able to have the endurance and no cramps to be able to tear ur up! And the hot guys that dance with you is a huge +++ lol

Met with my surgeon today. Will have a date soon. Looking at probably 1st part of July to join the losers bench!!!!

Reminds me of something similar. When I tell people how much I weigh, or weighed, and they say "you don't look that big." Like I wasn't big till they found out how much I weighed. Now I'm huge.
They think it's a compliment but really it's an insult. It's kinda like talking to someone on the phone, and then when you finally meet them in person and find out what they look like, saying "you don't sound that ugly."

I have my sleeve tomorrow morning. I'm still sorting through my feelings, but I'm glad that the day is finally here!
God, I'm tired! Like, bone-butt tired. I woke up at 8am without an alarm. My mother in law is very unwell in hospital, and is not getting better. We had to spend a lot of time sorting through her hospice care options today with her care team, and it was a bit emotional. We had to leave early to get to the surgeon's office to finish up the last of the business end of things for my surgery tomorrow. Then we had to find a grocery store (not easy in this town, lemme tell ya). I'm having surgery in Pontiac, MI by the way.
We got a bottle of clove, cardamom, and cinnamon Water and it tastes just like chai--mmm! And a bottle of lavender mint water. Just cause I'm on a liquid diet doesn't mean it has to suck.
We're staying at the Residence Inn Marriot, and the room is so cute and comfortable, and has a microwave for my broth (thank God!) I took my milk of magnesia an hour ago which was surprisingly not nasty. Oh, and I straight up "ate" an entire quart of low sodium chicken broth after I peppered the heck out of it.
I'm not super hunger, but my head hurts though. Probably low blood sugar.
I have to have a shower tonight with Hibiclens, and another one in the morning before we go to the hospital. I don't relish filling out a crap-load of forms tomorrow morning when I'm hungry, barely awake, and scared. I hope they can give me a little something to relax me kind of quickly.
I'm having a hard time thinking right now, probably because I'm so tired. I wanted to write something eloquent and philosophical about losing something, and gaining something, and sacrifice, and how positive I feel about moving ahead with this whole experience but I'm afraid that will have to wait.
I'm kind of sleeping with my eyes open I was going to have a swim tonight, but I think the best thing to do now is to just have a sleep.
A woman today told me that I was beautiful! "You're beautiful, and Irish, what more could a woman want?" That random act of kindness made me feel so great--it was just some lady on the elevator at my mother in law's hospital--she didn't know me, but she made my day!
I've decided that I'm gonna work this sleeve for all its worth, and the party starts tomorrow!
Got to go, the milk of magnesia is kicking in!

I was curious about this as well

I've been working in optics for 6 yrs (leaving as soon as I get sleeved for a better job.). Diabetes and high BP play a major role in vision. Have seen patients have major Rx changes within 24 hrs simply bc their sugar was not regulated. I can definitely see how the sleeve could help

Web I literally lol at the 'making 2 piles' comment. That kinda help bring me outta my bad mood for a minute

Mix in with shake maybe?

My next vlog will be about weight loss surgery stigmas. Someone actually had the nerve to message me on YouTube and inform me that I'm taking the easy way out. lol She ain't gonna know what hit her

Ooooo if they do then that will give me an excuse to pamper myself
