I am 22 years old living in ny ( where men are already scarce as is !) and I'm nervous that since I've been vsg'd that men may find me a lot less appealing since I've had this surgery. Has there been any women here that have been sleeved and found it harder to date? I know people like us Are judged, and I'm nervous that if I find a guy he may be turned off by it? I've been single for a long time and a part of this surgery was hopeful to make me More attractive as well as all of the other great things that goes with it ( having heart disease and such)

Did you guys buy baby plates that are sectioned off ? I would love to find a compartmentalize plate that is 4 oz

Yea a lot of my being over weight went right to the chest lol. Cant wait for those to go!! Can eait for meatloaf and farina!!

Ive decided on meatloaf finely mashed and creamed spinach!!! Ahhh!!! Its so exciting

Lol better!? Dam maybe its reflux idk i dont feel any reflux symptoms anymore and i take reglan 3x a day for it! I just am so hungry

Wow great! I'll keep those in mind! They have more protein than a glass of milk too!

Ive been craving food every day (mcdonalds, tacos, chips, burgers/dogs, etc.) what do i do to stop these cravings!? Im only 12 days post op liquids now puree's on thursday! Ahh!!

Yes thy did it the next day! I stood on the thing and drank the yuky stuff, but i was SO out of it I just wanted to sit down !

Lol yup youre probably right, my surgeon wrote the book "weight loss surgery for dummies" (marina kurian). I bet she is no dummy!

What if she accidenty did bypas or band. Idk im just over thinking

Do you ever get paranoid that your surgeon did the wrong procedure? Lol i know im going crazy but i'd love to see an xray just to be sure. Lol

Im still on my post op liquid diet too, i feel fuller when I have drinkable yogurt, and when i take fresh fruit and throw it in the juicer... It doesnt make me feel completely full but it keeps me content

I saw an xray of my esophogus and it was so skinny i can see this happening

Is it easier if you add wet to it (ketchup, bbq sauce?)

Omg dont tell me that! I start food next week and I'm terrified of that!

Buy i can inderstand because I feel like everytime i go to a bbq people are always like " did you eat? Do you want something? Have something!" it is so annoying

I named my sleeve "shirt" ... Kills em every time !

My dad has had the band for 4 years and he weighs 15 lbs lighter since the band... Thats it! When i first decided that I wanted WLS i originally wanted the band but my dad told me not to get it and that it doesnt work. He thinks it has a design flaw and that its just too easy to eat all the crap he used to eat, i see my dad able to eat anything, just a gulp of water and the food passes roght down! Of course its his fault that he didnt try, but the sleeve is better, you realy have no choice and success rate is way higher!

Cant wait till i can do sushi and ginger salad again!!

Gorgeous! Congrats!

I bought the book " weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies" and i must say i dont really like it! Not really my style and they give you tips that i dont agree with!

Im on day 11 so im a real rookie, ill be on liquids until next week, then puree, which im really nervous about! Im afraid of over eating and swallowing ad everything! Energy blaaaa! Ill be back in school next monday so im excited that i'll have somethig to distract my crazy cravings for steaks and burritos! Ive been doing 30 minutes power walks through my neighborhood, which is great because in NYC its be becoming fall so the scenery is beautiful! I was depressed for a while but everything serms to be getting better!

20 lbs in less than 2 weeks !

It just sucks man

I dont want to go through life worrying if im going to throw up everytime i eat
