I'm 5 days out and I have opposite. Is that bad??

It's funny because when you are going through it during the first couple weeks post op, it seems like an eternity and that you will never be the same again. I loved my first ahah...I feel good moment. I am glad you are feeling better and enjoying life!

I will be 3 weeks tomorrow and realized yesterday that I forgot I had a surgery yesterday. I was out on our boat with friends and I felt so good that I forgot I was different now. No pain, no tired, no signs that anything had happened. At one point I stopped and thought, "wow,i feel great. I didnt think I ever would but wow." So hang in there, it gets better fast!

Had staples out yesterday and my Dr was pleased with my progress- 13 pounds down since surgery and 27 down since starting journey. He said, "make sure you follow your diet. Do NOT try and push it. It would be easier to put a gun to your head if you want to kill yourself." So guess who isn't going to try anything before I'm supposed to? That's right, this girl.

Well it's about time hu? Good luck. Keep walking.

LMAO!!! I SOOOO gave the "right" answers to the psychologist and nutritionist! Fact is, I am an extremely picky eater, and if they knew I had issues with the texture of food in my mouth, or that there was no way I would ever blend food for the soft-foods-stage......they probably wouldn't have passed me!!!

-I confess that I'm having a difficult time getting all my Vitamins and Protein in
-I confess that I'm missing French fries and Wendy's cheeseburgers
-I confess,and iv never said it out loud but it's been on my mind,that if my overweight boyfriend doesn't start to get on board with eating healthy I might have to end the relationship
-I confess I'm scared of failure
-I confess that my biggest inspiration is all the boys who told me I'd be prettier if I was thinner,all the girls that told me "omg your like my body guard when guys hit on me!" and all the times iv told myself I could never do it and I wasn't good enough

This thread is hilarious, sad, thought-provoking and real...I love it! I can identify with everyone who doesn't get all the Water, Protein, and such, in all one day. I have no clue! I do try hard, and don't binge cause I want skinny BADLY!
I crack up at those who confess to smoking or having soda...I picture you all peeking around a door as if someone were looking while you "do the deed"...LMAO!
Carry on

I confess that I frikin love my sleeve and everything I gave up and the 6 hours of cardio I kill myself doing are completely worth it when you step up on that scale and you are under the 200 mark for the first time in your adult life.
I always wanted to punch my skinny friends when they told me "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" but now Im feeling them!!
I confess I have become addicted to shopping, exercise and sex to take the place of food. But that's ok cause I like getting good deals so I don't spend much, I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to exercise and my husband has never slept so good during the day for the extra livin he gets (he works midnights)

I confess that I am still not really seeing the new "thinner me" in the mirror. I know I've lost a lot of weight--but I still feel fat.
I confess that I worry that I won't get to my goal weight and I am done losing
I confess that I eat wheat thin crackers more than I should sometimes even though I consciously know I shouldn't
I confess I forget to take my Vitamins sometimes
I confess that I still worry that I'm too fat to be confident in social situations, so I avoid them still
I confess that I worry about my 17 year old daughter who is over 50 lbs overweight and headed to obesity. I secretly wish I could get her sleeved but she will ultimately have to make her own choices since she is almost grown. I have tried to help her but I don't want to force her into dieting because I know that leads to eating disorders. So I'm just going to love her and if she decides she wants help--I will help her in any way I can. And in the meantime--I will love her no matter what.
I confess that I worry about my boobs losing their bouncy fun for my husband :-)
And I confess that I do sometimes drink caffeinated coffee and love it.

I confess that I really miss my "girls" being bigger already
I confess that some days I'm just plain lazy and don't do any exercise
I confess that I'm looking forward to trying nookie again what with all the comments about how it gets better
I confess that I could murder a glass of wine
I confess that I'm definitely one of those with oestrogen issues as I've become a complete sap

I confess I hate food now.
I confess I don't always get my protien in.
I confess losing weight doesn't make everything easier.
I confess I don't always take my meds..vitamins.
I confess I am jealous other people can binge and I can't.
I confess all kinds of issues come up the more I lose.
I confess the lose skin is bothering me.

I confess that I Have no ideal how to eat right still I'm on soft food so I eat and puke
I confess that food is always on my mind and whatever I eat is not keeping me full
I confess that maybe I should be walking more then I could but the pain is was keeping me from doing anything
I confess that I'm doing this all alone and no support from anyone

1. I confess that I never have gotten in all my fluids, Protein, and Vitamins on the same day.
2. I confess that I haven't been to the gym since June.
3. I confess that I enjoy a few cocktails per month.
4. I confess that I like the look on people's faces that I have seen since surgery.
5. I confess that before surgery I was in such a deep lonely depression that I didn't think I deserved to live.
Dang that felt good!!

I confess...
- I haven't been to the gym in a month.
- I have weighed myself everyday this week (normally only 1-2x a week) because I'm SSSOOO close to the century club!
- I get really irritated with some people's "holier than thou" preachy, opinionated attitudes on this site which makes me not post for fear of judgment and ridicule. Why can't we just all get along???
- I'm really sad about getting rid of all of my clothes. All I see is wasted $$$ (because I have A LOT of clothes).
- I've only told a few close friends this... I plan on staying single during this journey so I can see what kind of "ass I can pull" and truly enjoy the attention I get!

They have Protein Shots at Starbucks?

6 months out and still haven't suffered from hunger pains.
And you very well may be weird, but that's beside the point...

Oh honey, I am 2 years post op and a completely normal size for an American woman (10/12) and I STILL have issues with feeling like I should be embarrassed in public for a variety of things, like making special orders or not letting people cut in line! I am totally one of those people @ 'bux now, asking for all the secret off-menu stuff, including the off-menu size "short"! No apologies!!

I was sleeved on Friday. I've been working from home. I have a stressful job. I decided that I felt good enough to go in, today. I haven't taken any of the good medicine since yesterday. The liquid Lortab makes me have dreams that I am in a Harry Potter movie, but I digress...
Anyway, I had to laugh today because on my way home from work I wanted something new to drink. I have been trying to add milk and Protein Shakes, but I'm having some "issues" with milk. So, I decided to be one of "those people." You know, those pain in the rear Starbuckians who request everything from the amount of foam, to the room in the cup, to the pumps of Syrup in their latte. I went to Starbucks and actually ordered a tall, sugar free Decaf soy vanilla latte. It's heaven (and completely on my diet plan, so don't make any smart comments about "listening to my doctor.") I may do this more often. I just felt like I had to apologize. I may not feel so weird making special orders when I am thin, but I feel as though a fat person being a pain in the rear regarding food is not good. I'm always trying to blend in or be extra nice so that people will like me even though I look like this. Has anyone else had a similar experience in their first days post sleeve? We don't want to draw attention to ourselves and what we eat because we're still fat, but we want to be able to socialize and be with friends in a restaurant enviornment....

10 days and every night since. Today is day 14

3 days = the first night I got out of the hospital. The Hotel Lucerna was too romantic in the evenings for us not to enjoy ourselves.

BTW - sex gets better and better, I'm not sure if it's because you just feel better about yourself or what.....but it's never been better!
