i am about three months out and i get the soup at sub way

i was sleeved on 2/8/2013. I started at 390 lbs and i am 33 years old and 5'1. I have fought the weight battle my WHOLE life. Getting the sleeve is NOT the easy way out! You have to work hard! The sleeve is a tool that helps the process along. If you do not change your eating you will not lose weight. With the sleeve honestly it is easier to eat the "crap" foods like ice cream or candy cause they go down easier but you have to make the choice to eat healthly. It is hard work trying to get in all your protein making sure you are drinking enough water and not eating too many carbs etc...All the sleeve does is limit the amount of foods you eat and in some cases (including mine) limits the type of foods. It is your hard work and choices that help you lose the weight! Because i could VERY VERY easily eat 3000 calories a day sleeved eating slider "crap" foods and not lose a pound. So that is what you tell people that say its the easy way out!!

i was on a plane from Cali to new orleans 5 days after my surgery. My docts said just make sure i move around on the plane every 1/2 hour or so i do not get blood clots. I did not even have a 6 week visit (i had it done in mexico). I would check with your doctor just to be sure but i think you will be fine

congrats!! you look wonderful!! and I wish you a Life time of true happiness and love with your new man!!

I am in new orleans flew united and it was just under 500 a ticket with a lay over in texas

i have BCBS of Louisiana and my employer has weightloss anything excluded from the policy. It was 14 grand a person here in the US. My husband and I went to Mexico had GREAT care for 12000 including air fair for the both of us.

OH LORD!! i better not shrink in height!! I am JUST at 5 feet!!!!

you look WONDERFUL!! Keep it up!!

tacobell is my go to fast food place. Everyone laughs at me because i used to say the only time i eat taco bell is 3 in the morning drunk and nothing else is open hahaha. But i get the refired beans and a plan taco with nothing on it. take the meat from the taco ad it to the refired beans with some cheese. Its pretty good cant have it often tho cause its like a brick in the stomach.

you must have a sleeve of steal!! I am 7 weeks and I still can not eat a whole large egg. I can not eat chicken unless it is chicken salad and I can only eat about 2 ounces of food at a time. I tried bread and rice once and threw them up and felt like i was going to die! But i would be careful with what you eat this early out. you do not want to have foods that caused you to get teh sleeve in the first place.

when and where did you have your surgery?

I am out with my family right now and both my husband and I had the surgery do we split a smoked trout dish I had two bites and I am on the restroom. I feel like it is stuck and I want to throw up! I hope this passes soon! My husband does not have any issues which is even more grrrrr

They took my liquid dial soap.

So I am 6 weeks post opand everymonday I get on the scale for an offical weigh in ( weigh myself during the week also but only record on mondays). Well the pass week I started exercising i exercised 6 out of 7 days eat about the same I have been eating. Early in the week i had a visit from my unwelcomed friend but was over in three days. However, I stepped on the scale and GAINED 7 lbs!!!!!!!!!! HOW IN THE F DID I GAIN WEIGHT!!!!! uggggg I am so fustruated.

i am 6 weeks out and I have the same issues. I could have written this post! I hope it goes away soon!!

I had my surgery in Mexico so i did not have a follow up but i am going to my PCP tomorrow and he is going to check everything out. I think a large part of my problem is gas and reflux.

its funny that this is the first post i see because I was just in a store with a co worker and she asked if i crave anything. I said not food yet however, i'd give my right arm for a diet coke!!! She wanted to buy me one but i told her know because it would hurt my stomach. BUT DANG I WANTED IT!!

i am six weeks out and I still get it no matter how little i eat. It seems to be worst with chicken. I notice if i dont drink for like an hour before i eat and take a bite and walk around for a few I do better.

i am 6 weeks post op and the reflux and gas is killing me even on meds! I find if i take a bite then stop walk around i do ALOT better than sitting down eating a meal.

I am 6weeks tomorrow I can not eat ANY meats but seafood. No thick protein shakes, rice, or bread. The meat feels like a brick in my stomach and it feels like it is stuck! The other stuff makes me sick to the stomach

I am 6 weeks out and I started riding bikes, doing zumba and just dance. However, when i am finished I am VERY VERY thursty and I can not seem to get enough water! Its like I can not get it fast enough. I drink a some and most times i want to chug but we all know we can not do that! After I do exercise I feel really bad (like I am going to pass out) until i get enough water but it takes like an hour or so. Anyone else have that problem?

i can not eat chicken, turkey or ground beef or turkey. It is like a brick in my stomach

i am stuck on pepperoni. I put turkey pepperoni in the mircowave for a minute and let them get crispy. Or crawfish, shrimp, and fish they seem to go down the smoothest.

i was sooo worriedit was just me and i had a problem! I usually have to go lay down after I eat for about 20 minutes! I dont eat breakfast because I dont have time to lay down. at lunch THANK GOD my planning period is with my lunch cause I go lay on the sofa in the lounge for a few minutes for it to pass!
