You're right Debsii and fluffylibra, I know that I am super sensitive about my appearance and tend to assume that I am being judged. Sometimes I am wrong and unfortunately sometimes I am right. I spent a lot of time as an average size person and as I gained over 100 lbs in less than a year, I saw and felt how cruel people become simply because of appearance. I guess it still stings...i need a self esteem work out!! Thanks all

What a bummer, I am sorry!

I just read all of your replies., thank you for the support! Those grannies are beast! That's where i felt judged. Lol. I joined planet fitness for the price, $99 for 1 yr. i figure if I go with my best friend it will be more enjoyable. Whatever works, right?

And I didn't entirely hate it! I was sleeved 8/14 and had been doing some exercise at home (swimming and walking) but finally got my nerve up to go. I used the treadmill and tried a few machines. I am excited to do this, however, I am not entirely convinced that it is a "judgement free zone" like they advertise... I felt a little judged.

I came home two days after surgery and really wasn't feeling up to doing much on day 3 honestly. Hopefully you can work at your own pace at home? I have never been a napper but i was taking daily naps the first 5-6 days. Best of luck to you!

Go easy for a few days and listen to your body, you will be doing a thousand times better in no time!

Hi there, My surgery was August 14! I am on puree until next tuesday. I am starting to look ahead at food possibilities too.

I couldn't handle the powders either. I found that I can easily drink the premade EAS Myloplex shakes. Good luck!

I am still having one shake a day to get enough protein. I know what you mean...i take too big a bite and sips without thinking and I forget to go slowly at first. Practice, practice, practice. It's going to get better!!

Yay! Make sure you eat super slow. Enjoy

I made that ricotta bake...it was so good. I cooked chicken in the crockpot and mashed my portion apart with a fork. I have egg white & cheese, a dollup of greek yogurt on tomato Soup, cottage cheese. I really haven't blended anything, NUT said if I can mash it with a fork and chew real well it would be fine. I am staying away from bad carbs because they have always been my weakness and so far I haven't had any cravings. Thank you sleeve! Have you tried anything good?

I just stared puree wednesday. I have had tuna, greek yogurt with canned peach slice in it, mashed up chicken, cottage cheese and 1 Protein Shake a day. The lack of veggies and Fiber is really taking its toll. What phase are you on?

I wake up at 3am rather than 5am and can't get bak to sleep. Yawn! I do feel like i am more energetic than i should be on 4 hours sleep.
