I live in Roswell , 10 months post op.. self pay in Mexico and doing great so far. Nice to see this group here

I am 9 months after surgery.. as memory serves .. about 2 months after I could have a small portion of just about anything I wanted. I find pasta and steak to be extremely filling though, even to this day.. but that is the magic of the sleeve. A little dab will do ya You can have a bite or 2 of ANYTHING you choose.. but be very careful about those choices and remember what got us here to begin with. I can also eat cheetos.. I can eat a lot of cheetos..lol crunchy things chewed well seem to be easy.. which means bad . I am kind of stuck at the moment, you become so addicted to running to the scale to see how many pounds you lost today.. well I did anyway.. then it was did I loose a pound this week? now.. I am back to my shakes and cottage cheese and not " testing what I can have" I know I do not NEED it and those things are why I had the surgery and the weight problem to start, So good luck, enjoy and remember to make good choices when you can.

I have.. almost like a ripping feeling.. not sure what it was but it did pass so i was happy.. i was so scared that i had torn my sleeve or something.. maybe is just a muscle?

I am taking 7 tablets / capsules a day so I really hope its ok, i just started last week.. womens mega health pack from gnc

Farmville and Facebook games.

Grats girl.. it only gets better from here. I am so proud of myself and it all started with how well I did pre-op and now I am one month post op. There are soooo many soft mushy terrible things we can have during this time and I am very happy with myself for not having them Wishing you all the best

I have been there for many years, I think that is why I ended up needing the sleeve to start with its way to easy to say leave him, so i won't bother, I am still with mine too. I am only a month out post -op too but i do know I could eat ALOt more than I do and I still find myself wanting to comfort with food.. but I did change the law in my home and kitchen and I don't ever plan on breaking it. Buy yourself healthy snacking options .. you know your gonna graze and snack so do NOT buy the things you used to use like lays and ice cream or brownies or what ever. I have several bags of bean chips.. high Protein chips , they are pretty yummy.. I am basicly living on cottage cheese. I feel for you hunny and all I can say is if it isnt there you cant eat it.. and prepare for those moments while your shopping maybe? much love sister good luck

I am one month out and very happy.. I wish you all the best Just remember, we are all here for you and ask anything you need to ask.. even if its about POOP.. lol

i did a 2 week liquid diet , no carbon test and I am a smoker. I was told its all about the BMi as for how long they want you on liquids. When I had my sleeve though I do know its 24hrs before surgery that you must NOT eat anything

I haven't been out much, but when I do go I just order a yummy sounding soup.. never heard of this card but I was sleeved in Mexico so that may be why .

Thanks for sharing this link.. I don't seem to have any problems swallowing pills.. is there a digestive issue that I may no know about?

My urgent care doc said i was alergic to the material in the stitches .. she took them out and gave me anti-biotic ointment and 10 days worth by mouth again.. they are healing up good now but the top one under my boob is still open. Now im a tad flipped out though - is it the same fishing line holding our stomach together?

i wake up and walk to the scale every single morning ;P and i must say i love it lol I am down 32 lbs since surgery 42 since pre-op. I seem to loose a pound every night while i sleep but I hear that will slow down soon. But I'll damned sure take it for now lol

Wooot!!! now i see where yall are ! lol I made one with the same name So awesome to see you guys, I hope they find Melissa's luggage so we can get the others on here. I am doing pretty fkn fantastic I think..lol and melissa, im pretty much drinking muscle milk now, its just easier to find and isnt too bad tasting , i really loved the banana cream flavor. plus I basicly live on Kraft simply cottage cheese. My sleeping at night has come to an end though, up all fricken night now and sleeping during the day again But I am doing Pilates and sit ups and cleaning and all that stuff so better than sitting on the couch eating and watching tv all night lol Love you all <3

312 day of Surgery 272 4 weeks later I am so very happy..40 lbs gone 60 to go

hmmm, allowed.. well that im not sure of..lol but I felt fine and had a small cup of soup as well.. no pain

I have every intention of picking off my friends plates haha.. I think it will be fun and just have that small satisfying taste of something and move on.

I had a martini with the girls about 12 days after my surgery..wow did it hit me fast lol I used to brag that I could out drink the boys, now i dont think i could out drink a child. I was a special day , I probably wont be having any more

Noel - I get tired really easy and I seem to keep a Headache. Not at all sure about the headache other than no diet pepsi - no monster mean bean..lol maybe addicted to the caffeine ? I find I am not at all interested in the puree, I just choose to go without. I am mostly drinking 2 weeks out, I had a small bite of a soft fried egg and some soups.. I did spend the day with my sister and best friend and boy was I dead on my feet that ***ht, my stitches were leaking and hurting and i was just drained. So I do think we need as much rest as we feel we need. I am sleeping better than I have ever slept in my entire life and getting up bright and early every morning.. I have been a ***ht owl since birth so that is a major change

Well, I made a big pot of chicken noodle soup - and drained the broth for myself and it was awesome!! added onions, celery, carrots to the broth that i pre cook in some butter - then put the chicken back in after i debone it and what ever pasta you choose

Grats to you girl.. We share the same surgery date I weigh every morning when I wake up and I love it. I have gone from 301 - 288 since July 18th. How are you feeling physically ? I am doing very well getting my Water down and I drink nectar Protein shake, about 8 oz so far per day. I tried pudding but i chest quickly told me no, that isnt gonna work lol I think the pain will keep me in line for sure. Keep up the good work , I will follow your success <3

Good to be home, Day 5, not so bad.. I am craving food and what I would give for an ice cold diet pepsi right now. I wouldn't exactly call it hungry, I just want it in my mouth lol I sure hope to see you all on this soon
