No game

Yes this is part of being vulnerable that I talked about earlier... This is a place occasionally offers a safe haven to open up on. This thread was one of them.

You are not the one that went to far... Thank you for sharing, it helped me to know that I am not alone...

At the risk of sounding like an assholED.. Yes. I found this thread really cathartic and have felt a bond that I had with some grow stronger because we opened ourselves up a bit to each other. Thank you! Will I regret writing this? Edit: I'm done I don't know...

Lol I was asking the other person. It sounds like he or she is on the wrong forum and is speaking about RNY (bypass) surgery You are still on full liquids? Most of us felt exactly the same way when on just liquids. When liquids hit the sleeved stomach they tend to empty out pretty fast. Your restriction will come into play later when you start eating purée then soft and so on. Oh and yes you will feel fullness. But perhaps not on the first weeks because your stomach is still numb that is why it's very important to measure you food.

Have you had the sleeve surgery?

Every time I logged on I just covered my eyes and said la la la la la really loud!! OMG when you guys catch up we must talk! I think I held my breath for 30 minutes while watching it. Exhale.....

Ok..... Good luck to you.

That's azz backwards... Sorry You can go for a consultation with the surgeon.

Wishing you well niki.. I am going to be sending you positive thoughts in the morning. Deep cleansing breaths......

Have you met with the surgeon yet?<br> The first thing I did was make sure my insurance covered it. THEN I met with the surgeon for a consult to discuss the different surgeries and which one would be best for me and my circumstances. This is the time you talk about these concerns afterwards if you decide you want it then you put in for approval. <br> I

He is, but sometimes the kids around him aren't.From the minute he was diagnosed, he has been a open book about it.. When he was little (5) He would tell kids I have tics.. Not the kind that bite but... Then he would go into the whole history of Tourette's. And the kids would say ok and life and play would go on. Now he's 11 and in junior high. It's not always as easy. He has two Major strikes he is gifted smart and he makes funny movements.. Oh three strikes! He has a momma that always wants to kick a kids azz if he messes with my kid:p

Hi Chris (I remember reading one of your other posts) I was a cutter when I was younger.. I did it to release the pain. This surgery will not make us happy, as a matter of fact it can mess with us a bit.. Do you have anyone you trust?

Oh satisfaction?? You know the old song? I can't get no... It's was always about filling that hole that never truly gets filled.

Not off track at all! Sometimes I've wondered if this surgery "feeds" Into my compulsiveness about food. Tracking weighing, measuring Protein, Water, timing, thinking.. I am happy for the 5:2 also #1 because I love you girls:) #2 because being a sleeve patient and the way we eat makes it like all day grazing I feel..

It's not easy. But you are so close, You've got this!

Ha! So far the ones I know are staff? Not one wants to be the bad guy on that one... Staff? Meh..

Yes I took the 100 posts out.. If I remember correctly it was brown, that came back as a vet and didn't have the hundred posts and had to keep posting to get them so she could get into the vets forum.. Alex wants your input so change what you think.. So I thought this.. "This forum is dedicated to veteran Sleevers who are one year or more post-op to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their journey. You must be one year out to create topics or post here."

Links are not working great on the app I can reprint it if it's ok...

Looking good girlie even though you are the headless six buttons Yep it took me about 40 or 50 pounds to start making a dent! But you are doing it, and doing it beautifully

Thank you butter..

Good stuff RJ! I just watched that. I wouldn't be me of I didn't add something about his bougie comment though. Bougies, while it's good that they now longer use ones much bigger than 40 anymore it's a balancing act really, you don't want to go small just for the sake of small, because to small can cause many problems too. From increased leaks to extreme gerd.. Ok public service announcement over

Wow talk about bed side manners!! I just did my blood tests today and go in next week for my year... Last time I saw my surgeon we did talk about stretching he wasn't able to give sizes it can get too. But has seen stretched sleeves the are caused by several things continuous over eating can cause some stretching, not all the way but enough to sabotage yourself.. Also sleeves not being formed small enough (leaving some fundus behind)

Yes update!!

Alex just sent me this, but The thing I'm stuck on is the 100 posts? What do you girls think? From Alex... "This forum is dedicated to veteran Sleevers who are six or more months post-op to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their journey. You must have 100 posts in order to post here. Edit it and send back to me please. I'll post the new description and I'll post a sticky in the topic as well."

It's what I'm struggling with as I get further out.. The thinking obsessively about food.. Not acting as much as days before surgery but thinking more than I want too. Food is fuel only, I've not gotten there yet in my head.
