  1. I felt the same. I told a few people and said it was personal and not plastic. Now I go back Monday and I don't care who knows. Think I did the easy route then do my postop diet!! I am now a big advocate for this for my health.
  2. They are all different. I had one for two weeks w veggies. It was a bear. Be happy!

  4. I did that a few times wo the sleeve. I don't know what caused it. Be glad it is over. Do yoga or Pilates for the constipation or get a massage. A massage done for constipation moves it out quick
  5. Been on it before the sleeve
  6. I was like that and went on lexapro. It is a godsend.
  7. It was so nice to go to Dress Barn and shop the other side. I need a long sweat her for a snug but sexy size 12 Ann Taylor skirt!!! Shopping out of the plus side and knowing I am free from it for life and never have to diet again is the best feeling Just a week and a half I am loving my sleeve! I let me have frozen yogurt that I love and it was a 1/4 of what I normally ate. Plus it wasn't covered in gummy bears Reese's pieces and coconut!! I learned to change.
  8. Try wen by Chaz dean on qvc

  10. I work and go to school. I got 4 day extensions. Factor a week.
  11. Mine told me today a cup is fine
  12. I cried on the way home from my one week post op. I was told I no longer need high blood pressure meds. Before the sleeve I was on three meds and pre diabetic. Now no pills!!! What a wonderful feeling.
  13. I like this and I am in!!! DOS 10/15/12 - 244.6 Today10/2/12 - 229 Goal 1/1/13 - 199 (30 lb. loss) If I hit 20-25 ok but let me try this one! Thanks for the motivation!!
  14. Hi I am Janet and from eastern PA outside Philly. I love to eat. I can't wire my mouth shut so I am here. I was sleeved the 15th and love how I look now at 229lbs although I want to get to 160 eventually. I am happy as hell to be out of plus size clothes or only have a few 1x that I look great in. I am 5 8 and had three plastics already breast lift neck lift and neck lipo and a tummy tuck. When I am all done my plastic surgeon is fixing the rest if needed. I have had my teeth redone with veneers. I am a little obsessed with it I guess but just like to look and feel young since I am 43 I work full time at a big pharma firm go to Drexel part time have a wonderful hubby and three dogs. I love to travel! Have been a lot of places and going on a cruise to Europe over Xmas NYE I don't look at this as a diet but a tool to keep me from eating the left side of the menu! Nice to meet you all
  15. It gets easier. I was able to have veggies and got a salad. I brought a Blender Bottle with me for my drink at a party and filled it with strawberry kiwi juice and ice. I don't watch people eat.
  16. I "mushed up" the meatloaf, gravy and mashed potatoes from a SmartOnes frozen dinner. That was pretty yummy - and easy!!! I divided the meat, gravy and potatoes into 2 perfectly proportioned meals - about 1/2 cup each. This is a great idea! What other frozen Entrees can be mushed up? Going back to work next week and would make life easy.
  17. Me - I got the sleeve to stop dieting. So I don't consider myself to be on a plan. I am one week postop and have to build to things, but this has helped me see just this weekend how full I get on a little food now. I was 266 and 229 now through pre surgery diet and exercise. If I am a size 10 cool - smaller is greats but its all fine. I want to be around 160 for my health. With 6 days postop I will drop the 69lbs I am sure. 43 and healthy. But in the meantime if I want and medically can eat a snack or food (I know everything doesn't work) I am having it. I saw one person post pancakes hurt- and i will watch that and test foods first . but i am free from dieting. I just won't eat the whole bag and now get full off a small meal vs app cocktail entree and desert along with a bread basket! A few bites to taste but no more ice cream gallons in two days!
