Like any good, well trained gay, I am fashionably late.....however....fabulously here.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY !!
CONGRATS!! I'm elated for you!!! Now get ready mentally and physically to join us!!

You go girl!!!

At least I'm not alone!! I guess I'm normal, too! Thank you for making me feel normal folks!!

At least I'm not alone!! I guess I'm normal, too! Thank you for making me feel normal folks!!

I am trying.....I think I'm taking too much in my mouth at once....my mind is in a BIG transition right now....I find myself wanting to go BACK to shakes...now that's some crazy ****

I got to go on puree!!!! Although it's been a little rough. NY sleeve is quite sensitive!

I started soft foods today, too..YAY....I just had eggs and a string cheese...it filled me up..I tried a little meat..but it felt REALLY WEIRD going down...I didn't like it...I think I'll be "Eggin It" for a while until I am a little more healed.

Well, Beloved, I learned a lesson today, one that I've read of on here before. Today I just wasn't very hungry. I didn't have Breakfast. I drank 25% of an Isopure and had some chicken broth mid afternoon. I only drank 30ish oz of fluids.
I had surgery Monday, August 20, 2012.
Guess what, I got light headed and dizzy tonight. Thank goodness for chick broth and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Chicken Soup Protein powder!
Lesson learned and a word to all my follow new sleevers: eat even if you don't feel hungry!

You can do it! Tomorrow is the day you have waited for! I will send you positive vibes...You've got this! Seriously, if you've got this far...tomorrow you cross the second big hurdle!

Alright Hot stuff! YOU BETTER WORK!!!!

I'm with ya! I was sleeved 8/20 and have my follow up appt tomorrow!! I am praying he'll let me start puree at 11-14 days out....I just need to chew something!! I'm not hungry..I just want to CHEW! LOL..I see people who say they chew and spit it out..but for some reason, I feel like I would be cheating. This is not a journey I want to cheat on.

That's not happening for a long time. Most NUTs don't suggest veggies until 4 months out, and carbohydrates like bread, for most of us, are off the menu for life. At least for me that are with the potential exception, which I can't even think about right now. I am 9 days out...I'm on liquids just like you. Hang in there!
We did this to change our lives. It's a tool, which we have to use well. If we go back to eating like we did in the past, we are abusing our tool, and limiting our weight loss.
I don't want to preach, just to share some perspective. The most successful sleevers not only have reduced the amounts that they eat but also WHAT they each.

I was sleeved 8/20. Today I got 80 grams of protein via 3 shakes with skim milk. I Am still working on fluids and should get about 30 oz of water in today. I also strained about 10 oz of egg drop soup for a filler. This is my best day yet.

I'm sorry you had challenges..but I'm soo happy that you are now sleeved!!! Welcome to the club!!

Aug 20 came and went and so did my tummy! Home resting now! No pain meds! Thanks for the warm wishes, Beloved. Those if you in the process: this is doable!!! Believe in yourself, love yourself, and make decisions that are good for you.
