Mishy, is that the only thing you've had that you shouldn't other than the Soup? The cake and ice cream is not going to damage your sleeve. I think some of the responses to your post are alarmist. Obviously, its not good to go for that so soon after your surgery, but you are probably in the same state I was at that point where you are feeling a little depressed and resentful of what you have done to your body. You just need to follow the post op diet to a T, especially the liquid part. If YOU feel that you need counseling then by all means, call your Dr and see what they have to say. I found that the best thing for me was to drink my shake with my family and then when I was done, take a little walk while they were finishing up. I ate a french fry less than 2 weeks after surgery, just because everyone else had them. It didnt kill me, but I didnt feel so well afterwards. You just need to take care of yourself right now. Good luck to you

I've just passed my 1 yr mark and have only lost 55lbs. I have been stalled since 8 mos out. I started at 265, am currently 210. I have gotten back up to as much as 215, and down to 205, but it fluctuates all the time but never get lower. I joined a gym and started paying for a personal trainer in March, and though Ive lost 5" in the last 6 weeks, I have only lost another 4lbs. I have a lot going on in my life and am seriously stressed out. I KNOW thats why I have been making absolutely TERRIBLE food choices. Whats really freaking me out is that I can eat A LOT now. Its almost like I never had the surgery. I feel like an epic failure at this. One good thing, tomorrow I will weigh in for a contest at my gym. Part of the deal is, you have to go 3 times a week for 3 months to continue to be eligible, and theres a lot of money to win, lol, so I hope thats going to give me motivation. Anyway, you are not alone and I'd like to keep in touch to see how youre doing. Good luck to you!

If you care about your wife and unborn child you might want to think about getting some personal/family counseling RIGHT NOW. Since you mentioned that you were getting "attention" that you've never had before, you may be giving her vibes that you want to flirt or more outside your marriage. That and the fact that shes 2 months pregnant with YOUR child, will make her very emotional and change her personality for a while. That happens when your hormones are out of whack because you're having a baby. I don't want to sound like I'm beating up on you, but you have more important things to worry about right now than whos making eyes at you at the gym.

Remember the sanctity of marriage. I'm willing to bet that you said something like, "Till death do us part", or "As long as we both shall live" when you made your vows. This might just be my opinion, but I don't think vows are something one should abandon when they become inconvenient.

I think some of this is your responsibility, although your bariatric clinic should have looked into it too. The first thing I did was call my insurance and get the list of requirements. Insurance companies always want a laundry list of stuff done. I am sorry though that you have to wait. I'm sure it's frustrating.
I'm happy to hear that you're not giving up. Have you been getting weighed at your doctor/the bariatric clinic over the past couple months at all? See if you can use any of those weights, maybe you can cut down some of the time!

I Am almost 4 weeks out and am on vacation with my family. We went out for dinner and I had an appetizer of fresh scallops. We are on the east coast so there is plenty of fresh seafood. It was delicious.

No need to make someone who struggles feel even more ashamed than they already are. Its one think to give advice and another to judge. just because it was so easy for you to follow doesn't mean it is for everyone else. I was eating things I shouldn't on my liquid diet and I don't feel guilty. Your body will tell you what you need to know when you eat something you're not suppose to and you will go through the discomforts and learn what you can and cannot eat. I recommend staying with your diet and not cheat but I bet we are not the only ones who have cheated. Not many people will admit when they have cheated. But reading some of theses responses tick me off cuz it always turns in to omg I can't believe you would risk your life or omg you need counseling. Just cuz you had the sleeve does not make you an expert! Just sayin!

I finally hit Second goal. Down 132lbs. Never going back.

Made my mini goal this morning! Today I am 199 pounds! Woo hoo! Next mini goal 170 pounds!

LOL

Hi ladies I was sleeved on 4/25th and I have a 3 yr old son that was 3 on 4/18. My Dr said not to lift over 10lbs until 6 weeks out. Otherwise you have a chance of getting an incisional hernia. You're still healing until then. My mom stayed with me for 2 weeks, and then I went out of state (where they are) and stayed for 2 weeks. My parents did all the heavy lifting and such. I could have him climb up on the couch next to me, but I couldnt lift him up in or out of his crib. By the time my 4 weeks were up though, I was ready to get back to life. I went home and had to do the lifting while my husband was at work. I never had any problems but it was almost impossible for me to NOT lift him before the 6 weeks were up. I think you just need to be cautious and do the best you can.

If you care about your wife and unborn child you might want to think about getting some personal/family counseling RIGHT NOW. Since you mentioned that you were getting "attention" that you've never had before, you may be giving her vibes that you want to flirt or more outside your marriage. That and the fact that shes 2 months pregnant with YOUR child, will make her very emotional and change her personality for a while. That happens when your hormones are out of whack because you're having a baby. I don't want to sound like I'm beating up on you, but you have more important things to worry about right now than whos making eyes at you at the gym.
