Weight-less Beauty

Plant the seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses. Norman Vincent Peale

I'm 31 days out now, and down 30 pounds. I love my sleeve, and had no complications what so ever.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Davis on Jan 8th. My pre-op anesthesiologist appt. is today. I would love to hear more about how you guys are doing - so glad we are in this boat together and can share stories.
I actually pushed my stuff through with Tracy - I know she was ready to be done with me :-). I have had a great experience so far with the whole team.

I was sleeved on the 18th, as well. Looks like things are going well for you already!

Fellow Dec. 18th Sleevers, had my doctors appt today. All is Fine and I return to work tommorow (no restrictions).Also I can excercise with no restrictions. I think it's too early but, I'm excited to start working out, and getting back to my work routine. Good luck too all.

Surgery date was December 18th and weight was 224
Today is December 26 and I'm 202
So I have loss 22 pounds since surgery!!!!!!
Crazy "Huh"??

I had a bite at around 6-7 weeks... it was good but extremely filling and I didn't get much satisfaction from it. It was a craving that I wanted to satisfy and one bite did it. I keep a bag of Totino pizza rolls in my freezer so if I get a craving again (which isn't often) I will just pop a few in the oven and I enjoy my pizza!
Perfect size snack and I don't feel like I have to give up my favorite foods.. All in moderation!

When I was researching this surgery back in June 2011 I read a post about a girl that had a surgeon that told them a story. The surgeon did a routine sleeve, all was fine, and he was discharged. This patient apparently ordered a pizza 3rd day post op, and apparently ate enough to rip his staple line, and didn't seek medical care. He was found dead with a half eaten pizza! Scared the crap out of me!

I was sleeved on 12/17 also. I'm down 11 pounds (230 the day of & now 219 today). The gas I mostly gone. I'm not hungry but I do miss regular food. I find myself thinking about it but then I get on the forum or find something to keep me busy so I don't think about it much. I'm scared to try to eat.regular food in fear of not knowing what may happen to my sleeve. So I'm really trying hard to stick to the diet. Really looking forward to having tuna & chicken out the can, canned fruit and eggs next week. Can't wait to make me some tuna salad and devil eggs.

If only I could get over the weird sensation in my stomach every time I swallow, I hate it!! Oh and my urge to burp every five seconds or maybe not seconds minutes... The seconds are actually held up by hiccups!!!
(Lol)
When will this stage go away someone . . .anyone ?

Hi all. I was sleeved on the dec 16 may I join u please?
I'm from the uk. I was 134kg pre preop diet. I am currently 114kg
I still have a very liquid diet due to a paralysed illeus post op.

Beautiful'

I hope you get to come home so u can recover in your own space. I didn't get rid of my gas til I was home.....good luck.

I was sleeved on the 20 th also!!

I was sleeved on December 20th! This is a good thread, since we're all around the same time and in the same boat!

Thats crazy good! You look amazing!

I'm sorry if this sounds mean.. not my intention... but...... Like the rest of us, you were sick of being overweight and unhealthy so you opted to have the surgery. Make the commitment and FOLLOW YOUR DIET!! I am 10 days post op and I was on clears for 4 days then to full liquids such shakes, drinkable yogurt, cream Soups (no chunks) etc....) I am STILL on this stage and will be until 3 weeks post op. Maybe I'm so gung ho about following my diet because I was a self pay and I refuse to let my hard earned money be wasted.. I dunno. This is a mental journey just as it is physical! I have a calendar that my surgeon provided that tells me every day what stage of food I can eat. How long did your surgeon tell you that you needed to be on clears?? If anything, reach out to your surgeon and ask if you can add shakes or soups but follow your Dr's orders. You just had 75-80% of your stomach removed!! It has to have time to heal. The last thing you want to do is eat something you shouldn't be eating.
Good Luck!
