SleeveShelly

Thank you!!! Sounds great!! I'm going to go to the store right now!!!

I miss ranch!!! But my NUT said I needed to find something different and try to stay away from the creamy dressings. I have been eating Italian dressing and am getting burnt out!!!!

No. Should I?

I got one yesterday and it tasted so good!! I get tired of drinking water. I am burnt out on decaff tea and those little drink packets you add to your water. I hope the coffee thing wasn't horrible for me

They gave me all of my drinks in the hospital with straws.

Hello!!! I have lost 38lbs since surgery on the 12. Congrats!!!!

I am only 2 months out from surgery and I cannot drink one more protein shake!!! Help!! Will I still lose weight?

It is very scary. But I had mine done 9/12 and I would do it again in a minute!!! Everything will be fine!! I never had one complications. I had myself all worked up over nothing. You will do great!!!!

Surgery date 9-12, weight 325 Todays date 10-6 weight 290. It will be 8 weeks tomorrow and I have been at almost a 2 week stall. This sucks!!!!

I didn't think we were supposed to take NSAID's such as ibprofen?

Did your surgeon give you some pain meds

I lived on sugar free popsicles!!!

I have been at a stall since October 27. This Wednesday will be 8 weeks since surgery. I'm starting to think I am going to fail the sleeve. I have been getting my protein in, and my water. I admit I have not walked lately because it has been cold. I'm beginning to think it is hopeless!!!

Jusstice, I am not sure about the clear bandages. Did they tell you you could take a shower and get them wet? If so, they will probably come off on their own. I had the same Sharp pain in my side when I would bend too. It will go away with a little time. The applesauce and yogurt is fine. You just might want to make sure there aren't any chunks of fruit or seeds in it. Sounds like you are doing great!! I am so sorry to hear that Sandy has affected you, and I hope you get power back very soon!!!

Thanks guys!!

Has anyone else stalled in these weeks

Just curious

They are called Think Thin

Thanks!! I found a protein bar with 20 grams of protein, 0 sugars and 11 sugar alcohol. I wasn't sure if that was bad.

Are we supposed to watch this as well as sugar?

I crave everything isnt good for me. I have been so by the book until lately. It really p*#ses me off!!!

I waited for what seemed like 9 long months to have the sleeve. By the time I went through all of the hoops of Dr appointments, psych eval, weight loss seminar and whatever else, I was so excited to have this done!! Well I was sleeved on 9/12 and have lost 37 lbs. Starting out at 325 I knew I finally had the tool to make this work. Nothing hardly makes me sick and I have been on regular foods. Now all of a sudden, I just want junk food. What has happened to me? Is nothing going to work for me? I am tired of being fat!!!!

I can't wait to see what people reply to this post. I am the same way. I was sleeved in 9/12 and I have never felt like I have had surgery. I have been starving all weekend and it is like I just want to eat!!! And I have are terrible all weekend so far. I want this so bad but I don't know what my problem is with food!!! Yikes

I think you would be ok. I had my surgery on a wed and got out of hospital on friday and was back to college on the following tues!!
