Today is my 3 weeks post op.... and i think i am just working thru head hunger and new habits that I am creating... the old ones are hard to break.. but the sleeve certainly makes it easier.. For me my challenge is keeping my menu changing and creative.. the portions i am learning to be okay with ... but i hear you.. about being hungry.. etc...

You look great!! yaaay for your hubby in picking out the top for you..

My Dr said he used a 32 size boogie.. so far so good.

I also used Dr Rod and Dr Elmo Aramburo..(juarez location- they work together.. My surgery was July 27th and i have lost almost 30lbs.. he is very attentive and professional. Loved his team. If you have any more questions message me.

You look great!! what an amazing transition.. you look so young..

Did you follow a specific diet? or specific rule ... im suppose to start like regular meats, etc.. this weekend and i am so worried i will screw it up some way and not lose more.. i need a breakthrough with this.. im like a worry wort... over it.. !!!

very cute..

I had surgery the same date.. how are you doing 11 days out?

Congrats!! get ready for the ride of your life...

Hi Duchess: Im in Florida too.. although i got my sleeve in Juarez, Mexico...on the 27th of July.. so we are but a few days apart.. lol I have been struggling with the pureed foods and eating too fast. Other than that i have been very blessed because i dont have nausea and the pain is really gone from the incisions.. yaay.. I am just trying to wrap my head around the smaller tummy and portions.. etc. Regards~

Im a week and a few days out.. almost 2 weeks.. I am feeling like i could eat more than i thought. I was having 5 small meals.. but i may have to change it to 4 not sure.. I have been losing consistently..despite me thinking i am eating too much. I need to remember not to eat and drink at the same time. i have forgotten and taken a sip of something and then freaked out because i did.. lol.. This is all new and I have realized i need to really learn to listen to my body.. and continue the process.. and today i am trying to have more liquids and Protein.. having a hard time with the powder Isopure.. (i hate the after taste).. Thanks for your posts.. they have been very helpful.

i just had surgery last wednesday!! and I have to be honest ... i gained weight before my surgery.. i could not stop eating thinking this is the last time i will have this much nachos, or the entire burger.. etc... i can tell you that i wished i hadnt because i would be farther along in weight loss.. BUT i understand what you are going through because that was me about 3 weeks ago!!!! hang in there.. and try your best.

GIRL!!! i cant wait for that to happen to me.. i want everything in my closet, drawers to be tooo darn big... KUDOS to YOU... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I hear ya... i went back to work on the 6 day post op.. and omg! maybe too soon. I am very frustrated about the all clear liquid diet right now.. but in a few weeks i will be normal.. well my new normal... very small meals.. and happy..

Spinning class would probably be awesome. .. Im looking fwd to it once im 4 weeks post op

I need to get the 4 oz cups or bowls. Just today I was drinking broth and im a work just sipping, sipping.. all of the sudden i felt like i was going to burst.. I kind of agree with the comment made about stop before your full because honestly FULL doesnt feel good!! I go to full liquids on Saturday. getting anxious..

Thanks for sharing! This spoke volumes to me.. my blog post today was... "My Greatness" Figuring out what "my greatness" might be... exactly! Thank you...

Im in Boca Raton area.. I am 7 days post op and doing well... looking fwd to denser food... !!!!

I just had my surgery a week ago. and i came back to work on the 6th day from surgery (this Tuesday). I am an HR Manager and also mainly sit at my desk. I am fine. I just drink lots of fluids, jello etc.. and walk .. so far so good.

I had surgery on the 27th of July.. I am a bit irritable right now from not having anything but liquids.. im looking fwd to yogurt this coming Saturday like it was Santa Claus.. lol.. I am bit sore too.. but mostly doing well.. drinking every couple of minutes.. my surgeon used a 32 boogie.. not sure what that means.. Let me know how you do...

OMG... i am only a few days out and I hate this liquid diet.. on Saturday I can have yogurt.. anyone have brands that are good and fat free?? please share. Thanks..

You look great!! Blessings in all your efforts.. :-)
