  1. Thats the way I am I can only eat like 3-4 bites of something and I am 12 weeks out, theres really no normal in this everyone is diff I have a friend that looks at me funny everytime I say that cus she can eat more then that, so just listen to your body it will tell you and if thats all you can eat thats all you can eat, just try to find high protein items so you get your protien in
  2. I am right there w/you I would never have thought I would do WLS but after hitting my last straw I did it, I had mine on 12/27/12 and wish I had done it sooner, I am down 57lbs already and feeling so good about it, the only thing I could say neg is not being able to get my water in I was use to drinking 100-150oz of water a day and now I am lucky to get 40oz in, at first the protien was hard also but that has gotten so much better in the last 2 weeks, I would not have changed my choice to do the surgery I cant wait to hit goal and to beable to stay there,
  3. I am lucky if I aget 40oz of water in and I am 12weeks out, I walk and do some weights but mostly walking
  4. I had min one 12/27/12, and no I have no cravings for anything do not miss anything at all, some times if someone is eating something infront of me I might say mmmmm that looks good and may even take a bite but thats about all I need

  13. congrats, the pain will go away, just make sure you start walking as soon as they tell you that you can that helped alot,

  18. ok I have been doing a lot of walking for my cardio 2 days ago my foot started hurting and today its so bad I can barley walk. its the top of the foot in the middle down to my toes. Has anyone had this prob if so what did you do about it?
  19. I really didnt have a whole lot of pain after I got out of the hospital, I only used the pain meds once, in the hospital they kept me on the morphin didnt feel nothing, lol as far as food that was not hard but not easy at the same time if that makes since, I dont crave anything anymore and love that and I am not hungry all the time like I use to be, the hard part is the not being able to eat much, had to learn my stopping point, lol
  20. Yes dont look at only the bad there is alot of good w/this surgery I agree w/the above, every surgery has risks and you need to make sure you do what the dr's tell you, if you think this is whats for you then do it dont go by other peoples post you dont know why they are having issues and you need to think about what are your health issues now, that losing the weight can help, , I had my surgery 12/27/13 and yes I have had some learing curves yes I Have thrown up, thats part of it when your use to eating as much as we did in the past you have to learn not to eat like that and for some people that can take time good luck and keep us posted
  21. Welcome and good luck I have found this site very helpfull and supportive,
  22. congrats, I was sleeved the day after you and I am having the same feelings I work out 5-6 times a week and I also stay away from the breads and pasta, this is the best thing to happen to me and I am so glad I found this forum,
  23. welcome and good luck on your approval and getting ready,
  24. I understand your fear, but I tell you after my surgery I just didnt want that stuff anymore, I dont crave anything but also I still have what I want but I can only eat so little that its not like before were I would eat a whole box of oreo's now I can only eat one and I am done, dont think about that just think toward the future, good luck
