Great attitude. Don't look back .

Sounds like you are doing great! Walk as much as you can and don't be afraid to use pain medicine Welcome to the losers bench

I am at 4 months and starting to lose hair. Not in clumps but definitely starting to lose it.

Get past the first three days and you are home free. Welcome to a better life.

Great job! I have never regretted getting sleeved. I love the new thinner me

Multivitamin, B12, biotin and vitamin d supplement

I go through my closet and pull all the too big clothes out.

I love this forum and have learned so much from it

Congrats on putting the surgery behind you You should start seeing weight loss this week. Good luck to you!

Really great results !

What a great story and you look awesome !

agreed - I'm still bouncing around the same two pounds. I'm going to stop obsessing over it. Just do my thing and it will all catch up.

Congrats to you!

The dreaded 3 week stall. This too shall pass.

Congratulations . Thanks for sharing

Have fun! Looking forward to pictures

What a great story. You are positively amazing. Thanks for sharing your story.

I was still sipping when I left the hospital. Took a couple weeks to actually get a few ounces in Hang in there!

Congratulations ! Sounds like you are doing very well

My acid reflux didn't kick in for a couple months. Walking helped me more than gas x strips The gas lasted about 10 days. You are on the downhill side. Congratulations!!

I was able to eat cream soups, lean ham, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, eggs, bacon, refried beans, pudding and most anything soft. I had to chew my meat lots and lots and could only get in a few bites of anything. I became a master at pushing food around my plate. I was not able to tolerate any kind of red meat or pork products. My advice? Go have fun and eat what you can handle. Listen to your body. Eat a couple bites and stop. Wait a few minutes and eat a second bite Stop. And repeat

Fitting in the airplane seat and not asking for an extender

This thread is hilarious !

Correction - I'm FOUR months out

You have a very supportive husband. I'm lucky to have one as well. He knows I can't eat much so he isn't so quick to want to go out to eat. He also lets me decide where to eat so that it will fit in with my new eating style. He makes sure I get my Vitamins in and that I'm eating (something I forget to!). He has supported me through this whole process and I'm thankful to have him in my corner. I had my surgery on 12/26 and allowed myself one 10 minute crying jag of "what did I do to myself?" That was 3 days after surgery and I was not feeling so good. That's the last day I felt bad. I've had ups and downs and I have learned from them. I know my trigger points now and don't let myself eat one more bite because I know what's going to happen. I'm pretty good about eating healthy but I allow myself an occasional piece of birthday cake - granted - it's a really SMALL piece and I take off the icing now. This new style of eating is easier than I thought it was going to be. Now that I'm 5 months out I can eat a lot more stuff than I could the first three months. I have found that I don't want to sabotage my success. I'm down 61 pounds since I started the whole process and I have never felt better. I get frequent compliments about how good I look and although they were hard to take at first - now they make me want to keep going to get to the next goal. I loved your post. You are going to be a complete success because you are in the right frame of mind. Good luck to you and please let us know how you are doing.
