Why are so many people disappointed when they "only lose" this and that much weight?
I will tell you why. because after the pain, discomfort, exhaustion, waiting, working out and pre-op crapola......and the misery of the 1st month ... you expect more for what you get @ that moment. you see a post from a moment in time.... its not fair to judge from that. we ALL have the "that's all I lost"moment" then a month goes by and were happy to lose 10lbs not the 1 2 weeks before. also losing quickly makes you feel as though what your doing is working. if the negativity bothers you then add positivity instead of judgement. cause I know I've had my fill of judgment ...and I am sure all of us are

What you wish you knew before the sleeve
constipation. you don't think its going to be an issue. it is. I was NEVER constipated in my life until the sleeve and it by far the most uncomfortable feeling ever.

Straws
Texas! MEEE TOOO!! I cannot drink without a straw. Paulina- I dont get gas or bloat. I think it all depends on whether you can handle it or not. I breathe out the air in my mouth through my nose when I swallow....but I've always done that. Good luck

FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
surgery was 2-11. I feel fine. no real issues other then not being able to eat any kind of protein powder or mixed drink. incisions are fine. water hurts but lemon water doesn't. SUPER FRUSTRATED. lost 14 the 1st week and nothing for 2weeks now. no more lost inches either. seriously the 14 I could have done without surgery. I understand stalls in a way but 1st month is bull. you eat so little and get nothing. seriously aggravated.

46 in 2 months. how fantastic! congrats to you I'm just frustrated from having to deal with all of this to stall so soon. its like working your butt off to get a raise and then they give it to the bosses kid instead. grr. but I will stay off the scale for awhile and try to believe that this will work.

Dr.Aceves and staff
I had a wonderful experience with dr campus and dr Aceves! such caring people. there's a third doctor ...although I forget his name. he's the one who checks for leaks and takes out your drain ...he's very nice as well. if I had pain they gave me the good stuff no questions asked! Ernesto is so nice! and I was astounded by his picture! I loved my coordinator as well. had a great experience with them.
