Pink Butterfly

It gets better. I really got depressed at two weeks out and even now the drinking feels like a chore but you will make it once the weight starts falling off you will feel better! Hang in there

Beautiful post

Hello I too was sooo nervous I would break out in tears everytime I ate something a few weeks before the op. Everything I ate I felt like I was saying good bye how sad is that? My hubby asked me what are you scared of I was scared of change he told me choose health I say the same to you. Choose health food can never be a freind. Its okay to mourn but honestly it is not going anywhere. My hubby has been at the same weight since highschool he doesnt gain weight at all! I feel alone at times too reach out anytime. Your almost there! I was sleeved NOV 15th I almost changed my mind on that day but...so glad I didnt good luck!

Thank you I am on soft proteins too. I like egg beaters with low sugar ketchup only one carb. Th liquids are a challange.

Good Luck! I moved very fast from when I decided to do it and when I was sleeved it was just two months. I was sleeved 11/15 I am 6 weeks out. Day by day it was easier then I thought and harder then I thought if that makes any sense.

That is great good for you. Going down sizes always feels good good luck

Week 6 well I made it this far. Some times I feel confused..so much information out there so many opinions. Weight wise I loset -5.1 pounds last week bringing my total to 24 with the 9 pounds I lost 3 days before the operation I am at -33. That is good. I still struggle emotionally I wonder am I normal? What is normal? I know everyone is losing faster then me. I am able to eat more them most. I have no problem eatting two eggs but I try and eat eggbeaters less calories. I limit meal time to 30 minute and find the only way I get kinda enough is to eat supper slow and stop when I am somewhat satisfied can eat the whole serving but choose not to. Foods nothing has really made me sick fish, shrimp, sashimi, yogourt all good. I try to drink one protein drink sometimes two can only put half almond milk one cup and YUCK too think. Fluids some days better then others trying to get my 8 glasses in. Cheats... Yes I am ashamed to say at 6 weeks I have already tried things I should not. I bought some Japanese pretzels supper thin 90 calories 11 carbs. I have been dying for something snacky. At whole foods I bought popcorn that is 35 calories a cup was shocked that I could eat 4 cups! Will stop buying that. Tried a small bite of a real cookie but tasted like crap so spit it out. If it doesnt taste good why bother? Like all things I am in a hurry to get to the next step need to take it step by step that is a challange for me. some days I will be honest I do have buyers remoarse then I remember how unhealthy I was. Anyone who has not done the procedure yet I would reccomend writing down why your are doing this when later you second guess yourself you can read it. I am glad I did it and have to stay positive although you can see even in this area I am back and forth. Dont know about anyone else but I feel very alone going through this. Every day I need to think check myself and make sure I am comitted. I still worry will it work? How come I can eat more then others? Why in the hell woud I cheat so early into it? I have learned to take it one day at a time. I am not perfect but I am learning and trying I dont want to fail at this ~

Hang in there I am 6 weeks out and still feel buyers remoarse sometimes I think it is natural. You must drink though you can get really sick! Hang in there it gets better right now I am craving vegies but that too shall come in time

Good Luck! I was on the fast track too went to my first dr appointment in Sept and the procedure done in Nov. It moves very fast.

Great Post pray you will have a smooth surgery! I know God was with me on that day and the days that have followed! By no means is this the easy way out still work but it is a tool! Good luck!

It ia normal to be nervous. The few weeks leading up to everything I was scared to death. The day before and day of I almost backed out I was overcome by emotion. I cried about everything when I saw people eatting, when I woke up when I ate I felt like I was saying goodbye to old friends ~ My sister prayed for me and that honestly got me through. I am three weeks post op and still emotional it is a life change and that is hard for anyone! Goodluck!

Good Luck I was also very emotional before the day it is normal. Have my first doctor post op today.

Well I am almost at 3 weeks. Everyday I feel new emotions. I worry will this really work? Everyone I read about has no desire to eat I still think about food all the time. I also read that most people can only eat a bite or two I seem to be able to eat more. I ate a whole egg no problem. I actually have not had any problems and am very thankful. I am already on my first stall I feel like seriously? Already!! I know I lose weight slower then other people I am only 11 pounds down post op feel like I should be more. Thinking I will go back to work on Thursday not sure if I am ready but...gotta go back sometime. Have been feeling a little down. Wish there was a group near me or I had a freind who I was going through this with. I am obessed about my new sleeve but who really wants to hear about it all the time? I guess I just have to take it day by day~ If anyone wants a weightloss cyber buddy let me know

Great post very encourgaging!

Thats awesome! Go for it!
