    My surgery was 2 days ago and it couldn't have gone any better. No nausea, not a lot of pain... of course the morphine helped..lol
    All in all I was pretty comfortable. Thanks to my heating pad... I highly recommend taking one.

    HI, I had surgery on Oct 17th I have only lost 9 lbs so far since surgery. I have been disappointed and upset as well. Then I start thinking... ok, so it is going slow right now but at lease it is going. I'm thinking maybe it will be better on my skin if it goes slow. I am doing everything by the book as well. I guess it is just the difference in our bodies. If I continue to lose, even slowly, then I will be happy.
    Sorry you are down right now but please look at the bright side. You are losing! We will succeed!

    I never quire How to read a food label. I mean I understand kinda but today it hit me.
    I am pre op and trying to do What I would be doing with the sleeve to prepare and I was purchasing some Greek yogurt and that was easy. My daughter asked me to get sour cream for Turkey tacos. So I read that label. I normally get the full fat kind and so I looked at the label for the fat free and I was able to understand even though It's lower in fats and a slight decline in calories but there is more sugar. So I am staying away from sugar and even though It's full fat it has less sugar and in moderation It's in reality a better choice.
    I personally had greek yogurt as sour cream on my taco lettus wrap and I was happy with it
    But for the first time in my life I feel like I have a grasp on labels.

    I feel great too.. my surgery was on the 17th... 2 days ago. I am sore of course but otherwise doing great.
    I took a heating pad with me to the hospital and I am amazed at how much it has helped me. For those who are about to be sleeved. Take a heating pad and lay on it...... it helps sooooo much.
