Wow u look great, younger and like a whole new person, you doing great :-) keep up the good work!!

I am about to go crazy!!! I am still stalling!!! It has been weeks now!!!!!

I have one and could not be without
food tastes great

You can do this. If you have the proper foods easily available and get yourself to eat them - there isn't room left for junk! Try planning all of your meals in advance, that takes away some of the opportunity for bad choices at the last minute.
And try planning some things you really like - for example, I make something I LOVE every day - 2 egg whites, 1 T. goat cheese, and five cherry tomatoes. Now, this meal is not for everyone, I get that. But the idea is that it is food that fits into my overall day and tastes wonderful.

Hi Dorrie! Lol! We will conquer this! I am stronger than crab Rangoon!!!

I love MFP! If anyone wants to be friends, my username is Serenisis on there so add me! I loooove the VSG community, there's so much support and motivation!

I noticed that my body has a rhythm..... I loose a significant amount of weight... stall, gain a pound or 2, then start losing again..... weird.....like it's not letting go easy... wickedness.....

I get hungry also. I take Prilosec, get my Protein in, but I still get hungry every 2 to 3 hours. I know some people say they don't ever get hungry, but I think the sleeve works differently for everyone. I definitely know when I am hungry!

I need to eat! I've starting timing it and it's really true! And I'm eating high Protein foods. I'll be 5 weeks out on Tuesday! Whoa. It went by fast!
Anyone else have this happen to them? And it's hunger, not acid.

New Haven.
I'll be in New Orleans in a few weeks! Cannot wait. Slightly sad that I won't be eatin y way through the city but hoping dr says a bite or two of red Beans and rice is ok!!

Thanks everybody for y'alls reply the Dr. Called me back and said he was looking at my ct scan and it was good but for me to go back to the er and he has ordered me some blood work and a chest X-ray so as soon as hubby gets home from work to watch the lil ones I'm on my way.

I don't have her number. I always just email her. I sent the email address to you in a direct message. Let me know that you got it.

Thanks for the advice :-) it always helps

Wow! I felt so good too! Our Brinks guy came today to pick up our currency at work. I haven't seen him since 8/29. He saw me & said "have you (motions to his shoulders/belly/chest) lost something?" I of course said I have lost weight, and that I have lost close to 20 lbs. Yay! Such a good feeling!

I get soft foods in 5 days cant wait. Having to Water dowm crystal like its too sweet

Tried steak yesterday and all went well the rest of the day. Only issue got a little nausea when I took my bedtime meds and tipped the Water glass and chugged. This is the only draw back so far is I forget to drink slow sometimes and forget about being sleeved. My portion size is tiny compared to what I used to eat but am very content with it.
This is going to work, Yes!!!

The general consensus from docs and nurses that I have seen seems to be whenever you feel like it (though most hospital nurses prefer that you wait until you get home!)

I HATE to waste food. I grew up in a lower middle class family and am the oldest of 5, so to waste food was like a deadly sin.
I live in Houston where one of the popular things to do is go out to eat. I usually eat 4 or 5 bites of food and put it in a to go box. I then eat off of this for 2 to 3 days, or until my husband makes fun of me enough to where I HAVE to throw it out.
Questionable foods I've eaten: 3 day old grilled tilapia, 4 day old crawfish bisque, 3 day old Chipotle salad bowl, and some other things I'm not proud of. LOL! But I felt like I got my money's worth. I haven't gotten sick, but my hubby is waiting for the day so he can say "I told ya so!!"

Just remember there is a very fine line between comfortably satisfied and miserably stuffed. For me, it's just one bite between those two extremes. Good luck!

It’s a combination of the hormones being released from your stored fat cells and kinda a detox your doing with the change in diet the Water change of food its like flushing your system so the combination of the 2 is giving you crazy skin.
I had dry skin spotty skin rashy skin even it was kinda mad then it all settled down my face is sooooooooo clear now it only goes a bit nutso during that one lovely time of the month lol

I went through this and learned I was just eating too much. You will find your cue that you've had enough before you get to that point as you learn your sleeve. I find there is a point of no return and it's just ONE bite that is the difference between comfortably satisfied and painfully miserable.

You look at the menu and decide what to order by what is the SMALLEST entree rather than the way you used to looking for the LARGEST entree.
