I would just like to congratulate everyone who has made the attempt or has completed this surgery ! However I would just like for people to keep in mind one thing ! This is a social website for us to gain and understand information on the VST ! However . No one has the right to sit and Bully anyone based on his or her experiences ! No matter race , gender , or ethnicity! It's very weird how people just come and disrespect one another on here ! I have came across several individuals and one in specific since the day I came on this site to gain knowledge . And lord knows I have not sent that B**#% to hell cause I have a little but more respect for my self and others ! But all on all my time bomb is ticking ! I think we should all be here to support one another and act like grown individuals and allow others to gain valuable information ! BOTTOM LINE IF U DoNT HAVE NOTHING NICE OR EDUCATIONAL DON'T SAY IT AT ALL

Ill make sure I spell this correct ! GO f**k YOUR SELF

Far from anything listed ! Your just mad cause I don't keep my mouth shut and u could care less about anyone , u f**king right I will say what the f**k I please when I need to defend my Hispanic culture. It just sounds like everyone on here has a list of **** to say about everyone and I will say what ever the f**k I feel and further more instead of being on a social website putting all this negative energy in to **** every day try putting it in to loosing weight cause I have !! Second of all I will put a b***h right in there place once they disrespect my MOTHER ! So there for cant take the heat get out the f**k out the kitchen

I would love to ! Lol

I would know because I stated ethnicity in there ! But you just like the rest of ur race African American and ignorant.

HEY ! So im almost 2 months out in 5 days , but i have to say i can eat almost all Healthy solid foods . My portions are small ofcourse but my sleeve allows me to eat almost anything. I have Ate flounder , dark meat, etc and i just wanted to know if this has happen to others, my surgeon said that it is but want other peoples opionion. The good thing is thatbi have not had a stall yetand i have already lost 55 LBS ..... .??

Yes the popsicles must be sugar free and i bought a tropicle box from popsicle and they are great

O my god i tried flounder its the softest and taste so good !!! But As for as salmon i actually took lessons from the queen (my mother) when i first did it i was literally purple from choking but there are serveral ways to make but she says the key is the broth , also you can add a lil olive oil and white wine to the pan but the white wine has to cover the salmon ! I will post my moms several different salmon recipes but try flounder ! Best of luck

Might sound crazy lol but koolaid . They have this little thing that u squeeze in to your liking and its sugar free . Its so good. Also 4C has the pavkets of different stuff such as lemonade , ice tea, pomegrante, there is tang also. There is usually at my supermarket a big selection and its all SUGAR FREe

I wear a gridle aka FAJA ( spanish ) and girl does it hold it in , i look like jlo after im in there! But serious i wear mine and its like making my body stay its actually molding mybbody ! N i am big on my apperance so this works for me

It only gets better ! This might be a side effect from the anesthesia , it happen to me the first 3 days but it will change. I hate protein shakes also . The whole liquid diet for 4 week iS so hard but when I went to my doctor I told him exactly how I felt and he said just Incorporate some purée choices and see how your body reacts to it. I just had my appt on Monday and was sleeved on 2/20. I swear all I think about is how I'm going to look for the summer. Don't weigh your self everyday also its more depressing. Once they removed the drain I swear I had the best night of sleep maybe 3 days afterwords . You will be swollen for about a month but just remember this will pass by extremely quick. If u need to vent I'm here with an ear ! goodluck

I was sleeved on 2/20 and weighed my self today and I am 21 LBS down. Hope it stays like this. Best birthday gift

Thank you ! 16 LBS. is great also . I'm so happy that this is just another closed chapter of LBS in my life

Hey girl , Run and get Gas X strips . And then walk ! Walk outside . It's normal . U will get a pain in left shoulder also that's gas . But it gets better everyday

Forgot to attach lol

So since pills are hard to swallow they are like the breath strips and the dissolve. The are the best . Run to the local drug store ASAP and grasp them . I attached a picture for u also

I bought the gas x strips ! OMG it worked I was in so much pain it wasn't even funny ! However walk !!

Hey , so I was sleeved on 2/20 last week yay! And my birthday is 2/28 and my BF had just asked me is there a way we can get u a sugar free low carb mini cupcake ? I was laughing so hard but I did think it was very cute and considerate . MY question now do u think I can have a scoop of ice cream that is sugar free or something ? Or any suggestions . I would ask my doctor but don't see him till weekend to get JP removed. Thanks

Thank you guys ! But I'm very aware of the lactose thing which does not apply to me ! Hopefully it will work out on Thursday

I have a list of good ones and different ones also. The ones the usually give Are GROSS. So if u acquire a different taste or get board. Anyway you will be just fine. Let us know when ur on the oter side post op !

Girl u will do great . Let keep it Real this is the best choice you are making . However the first 3 days are hard but after that you will be good to go. If I would have seen this earlier I woul have told u to make sure u had ur cler liquids such as sugar free Jello , yogurt sugar free also broth and especially the Protein shakes or powder for when you got home. If I need ideas or are getting board of stuff just post a new thread and there are plenty of us to give u ideas. My prayers are with you. Goodluck Krystal Sleeved 2/20/2013

I was sleeved last week 2/20 and I had the same fear . Really you are not hungry. U have to listen to ur body . The brain does not notice that you are eating for about 15 mins . This I why they say eat slow. Once u are sleeved come back to this thread so we can give you some different ideas as to what to eat to change it up and of course for support. Also buy gas x strips. I read a whole back that you get this pain I'm your left shoulder an u have to walk it off and take that. OMG it was a life saver.. Goodluck

So I was sleeved on the 20(Wednesday) , things were going good all the pain was under control just you know things adjusting its self in the stomach area. Then today I walked to visit a friend about 7 blocks and when I mean I say down in her table and caught a sharp pain in my left shoulder. Unbelievable and its still there its a major discomfort. I walked home and back to her house just to see if It would help and still nothing. Does anyone know or have had a similar issue ?

Thanks valarie but my doctor didn't ! Have U experienced this yet ?
