I was sleeved almost 5 weeks ago and can't really get past the pureed stage yet. Some days I can tolerate a nibble or two of VERY moist meat, but then I am done for the day.
I don't want to sound judgy, but I know I am going to. Why are you pushing the limits of your sleeve so soon and why are you not following your surgeon's instructions? It sounds to me like you are sabotaging yourself.
Maybe you don't realize that you really are still in the high danger zone of having a leak. From what I understand, and I am sure I will be corrected, we are in the danger zone of leaks until 6 or so months out. Your doctor has a reason for telling you to eat foods in certain stages, not only for the health of your new stomach, but also for optimum weight loss.
If you are already choosing to eat pizza, drink wine, consume ice cream, etc. at just under three weeks, what results are you truly expecting from your sleeve? It can't do the work for you.

Be patient I am on week 7 and I didn't loose week 5-7 i was extra frustrated because week 5 is when i started walking 4 miles a day! lol then on Wednesday I started to loose again!

Hi I found this idea online the jar on the left says pounds lost and the jar on the right says pounds to go... Obviously I have a long way to go! Lol I I color coordinated the marbles green for the morbid obesity bmi, blue for obesity, purple for overweight and pink hearts for my healthy weight range. I like it good visual! It's pretty too!

No real science behind it... When i started i weighted 265. the bmi chart says for my height 265-214 is extreme obesity so I put 51 green marbles in the jar, obese is 213-164 so I put 59 blue marbles in for that, overweight is 163-136 so I put 29 purple ones for that and healthy is 135-104 so I put the 31 pink hearts in for that. Just out your 3 favorite color marbles river rocks or gems whatever you can find and count them out according to your bmi chart.
Picked my 3 favorite colors blue green purple.... Green being my least favorite therefor my least favorite weight morbid, (lol) blue being my next obese, purple being my most fav so overweight. I got all the supplies at dollar tree and because its valentines day I found pink hearts and thought that having them at the bottom for the healthy weight was cute... Also I put one big rock in for every 10 lbs just as an added incentive for every 10 lbs. i found the stick on letters from Michael's craft store in the scrap booking section. You can be as little it as much creative as you want.... if you want you can just put multi colored marbles one for each pound you need to loose that was the original one that I found online. I was bored so I made it more creative lol

Great job! Very handsome!

Grape is the only one I truly like. The others I tolerate, although they are all better than thick, sweet milky shakes.< /p>

I have UHC and they approved it in about 5 business days! They said that was on the longer end of the range because everyone is trying to get all their stuff approved at the first of the year when benefits start over. But I think 5 business days is pretty ok!
However, call them every other day because they will only notify you via snail-mail which could take god knows how long. I was approved days ago and still haven't received my written notification yet. They should give you a specific notifications department phone number and also a reference number to make it easier for you to call in to check.

Awesome you look great!

What is tvp?

Great job! You look so pretty!

I agree with you 30 years! That pre-op diet that I thought was so miserable seems like a feast now! I almost think they make us do the pre-op diet to ease us into the reality of post-op.

Great job hotAAA!!

Lol this is great! Everyone pets are so cute! And as long as mine love me that's all that matters!

I am in shorts or a bathing suit for most of my days. I have a problem with chafing. I use Body Glide anit chafing it looks like a stick of deodorant. I swear by it. its a little pricey I purchased it at sports authority however I just found it on ebay. I hope it works for you. I couldn't walk with out it! I have changed my life!

I was starving right after surgery ( 1/28 ) now that it's been a little while I realize it was mostly mental and in my head, not a physical hunger from my new stomach
The pain could be gas, I still have them all over my belly area, but just to be safe if its really bad I would call your dr
And as for 3&4 if you are not getting enough fluids you won't be peeing that much, once again I would ask your dr about that, you don't want to get dehydrated

I use to get several pains, now I've figured out what each are and one for sure is hunger pains. When I get them I eat some greek yogurt or sip some cream of rice, doesn't take much to fill me up. I get horrible pains when I swallow Water or juices. I am 1 1/2 weeks out from surgery. I still can't get all the pills I"m suppose to take down. 11 to be exact. I see the Dr in a few days so will see what he has to say. Congrats on the weight loss

Hi all! I had my surgery on 2/5 I feel ok. I was told nothing but Clear liquids for 2 weeks. No Protein or Vitamins. I am tired. I am down 32lbs.
Heaviest: 265
Day of surgery: 237
Today: 232.6
1st main concern: I am hungry is anyone else hungry? This makes me nervous I though I wasn't supposed to feel hungry.
2nd
I have a sharp pain to the left of my belly button not by an incision but about 3 inches left of the belly button. Anyone else?
3rd
I am not peeing that much.
4th
I hurts or feels uncomfortable when I swallow so its hard for me to get in as much fluids as I would like.
Is any of this normal? Any suggestions? Advice?
Thanks!

Smooth Move tea. It's all natural. And it's awesome. I use it every Friday.

I've been wanting to do an outline. Just have someone trace you on some poster paper. U can do side& front. It really shows your shape& how big u used to be. Anyone remember that Alfred Hitchcock show where he walks into the outline of himself in profile? That's where I got the idea from. I also take a monthly picture.
