Growing up...my mother used to cook and made sure we were nice and full...imajinate ...latina al fin....so I cooked and ate a lot. Im wondering how long will it take for me to be able to eat again? Im trying to take it a day at a time..but ugh...its hardddd.

wow I truly hope that at 11 weeks I can eat chicken quesadillas.

I've seen so many YouTube videos about ppl going through what Im going through and mannnn I tell ya..they have such a happy face because they aren't struggling. Why am I? I feel so tired...weak. I thought by 2 wks I would be feeling up...alert..energetic.... < ---- wishful thinking. Am I alone...in this! I keep thinking about food...and yet Im lost with what can I eat at the puree stage because Im sick of looking at food that looks like throw up blended up ( that's just how Im feeling ) Im thinking about how much i miss food...my favorite meals. I feel like Im never going to eat my favorite Chinese food...or favorite sandwich ever again. Its almost Like if my mind is regretting it but my heart knows this was the best decision ever.

These are just a few things that I’ve learned about myself in the 4 weeks since I was sleeved.
I never realized how much Water I would drink with meals. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be not to drink water before/during/after meals.

I never knew how fast I ate before. Sometimes I still forget and speed eat… after only a few bites, the sleeve lets me know I doing it wrong.

I never realized how much food I used to cram onto the fork/spoon. One big swallow, the sleeve lets me know it’s too much. Buying baby utensils has really helped, although I look weird eating with them.

If I have to eat in a hurry, it is better to eat something liquid/puree or nothing at all. The sleeve doesn’t like fast… at all.

Chewable Vitamins make me gag.

liquid vitamins make me gag.

Protein shakes make me gag.

Taco seasoning makes everything taste better.

I'm obsessed with the scale.< br />
Edited 4/16 - I'm adding a couple more things to the list of things learned:
10. The feeling of 'nausea' is very different now.
11. I miss being able to have myself a good guzzle.

Lol lol lol...i knowww lol...but It looks like throw up

Boricua!!! Lol

I prepared for surgery for six months... I did the Atkin diet, stopped all liquid calories (soda, juice, coffee, etc.) Water Only... A gallon per day! I hit the gym twice a day... Went from 310 to 240.
I almost chickened out of surgery, I thought maybe I can do this on my own?!?!! But my body stalled at 240 and I wasn't losing any more. I've yo- yo'ed my weight in the past and didn't want to regain it.
By that time I had did all the post op steps (Meetings... Psych eval, etc) When I met my surgeon he said I was ready and he immediately scheduled me for surgery. I'm sooooo glad that I did it! Eventhough I lost weight in my own post-op... I know that I wouldn't have lost too much more. I did do a liquid diet for 2 week pre op to shrink my liver for surgery.
Regarding goal weight... I think 160 would be Awesome... My Dr says 140. I think 140 is too thin for me cause weight loss really shows on my face- Don't wanna look sick!!!
Plus I'm Puerto Rican- We have meat on our bones... Junk in the Trunk!!! Lol I Love Curves... Not bones!

Teresa made me so mad last season. Even though I dislike her...I must say she is very entertaining. I can't wait until the New jersey housewives....<3

BIENVENIDA Mel...como estas? Yo soy Boricua de CATANO Y DORADO.

Hehe, fully immersed. Kind of like that scene in 13th warrior where he finally understands the German language after listening and not understanding for weeks. I tried this technique when I went to Italy 2 years ago, fully hoping to " get it" by the time the vacation was over. After being there 3 weeks, I had picked up on some phrases and could order about anything I needed. Also figured out when Italians were making fun of us silly Americans. I hope to become proficient in another spoken language other then English someday, but you know what they say about learning languages when you are older.
My hat off to all those people who can fluently understand and speak multiple foreign languages. You would figure that I could become more successful at it as I know 4 musical clefs for different instruments and about 12 different computer programming languages ( proficient in 5). Maybe these are used by a different part of the brain then the spoken and written language. Who knows?

Lol..I love it...we need enthusiastic latinos on here. A week out....How do you feel physically ? Im so scared if not being able to eat my Spanish food ever...Im on the pure stage...and I don't know what to eat? tengo una hambre mental...quiero platanos fritoooo ...jaja
