Well I don't think of it as having no will power. Because WLS was and is the hardest thing I have ever done! It's a tool, you can still eat slider foods and not lose! It's not an easy way out! It's just that you are more easily statisfied.
It's your choice not to tell anyone how you are doing it. If they ask just say, "eating less and moving more"! It's true! You don't owe anyone an explanation! I am down 80lbs in 5 months and I am loving my new sleeves life!

Down 40 lbs in 6 weeks! Sleeved March 12, 2013

I was sleeved 2 days before you. I am doing well also down 43 lbs since my preop diet which started March 1st. Just keep on going we are gonna Rock our sleeves!!

How did you eat the pizza without the crust?? LOL...Well it sounds like your doing great with the 43 lb loss so keep it up!

Well I was down 18lbs from the preop diet which was 12 days long. So since march 1st I have lost 43lbs... pizza well I was bad, probably a month out. I ate like a very thin 1/2 slice of a very small pizza. ( no crust) It went down ok and then I waited like 2 hours and had another small one. I love pizza so I was very excited. I have had a hard time with some foods because they were too spicy and well I didn't eat slow enough. I tend to be a gobbler. If I I don't chew well enough or eat to fast I vomit. I do eat pizza now like once a week. But I have 1 slice and I am done, full and satisfied. Such a great feeling not to be a slave to food anymore. I let my sleeve tell me when I'm done. Not to say that I haven't had a hard time with that. It's been a process to figure out when I am full or not. That one extra bite and its all over... Blah....

Just would like to add my 2 cents. I was sleeved on March 12 this year and my journey was very similar to yours. I had a very difficult recovery in the 1st days after surgery. Lots of vomiting, at one point I broke a blood vessel in my forehead and I started to bleed massively out my nose and mouth. I thought my elderly parents we going to have a heart attack when they saw that. I was very dehydrated so I ended up staying an extra day. It was tough in the beginning I felt like what have. I done to myself? But as I have healed things are getting better. I have had pizza (actually its something I can tolerate without puking. Just one small piece though,). I am relearning how to eat, figuring out my limits and trying to move forward. I can't take back my decision so I have. To embrace this change! I am proud to say I had my check up yesterday and I have lost a total of 43lbs!! I am thrilled with my progress as hard as this journey has been. You will make it, just keep looking toward the future!! Good Luck!!

I really like to eat chili, very mild. Sometimes I go as get a small Wendy's chili and eat it for 2 meals. cheese sticks, Soups, yogurt, cream of wheat ( I make it with milk), sf puddings, I have even eaten a 1/4 of a cheeseburger. Also eating small bites of chicken. Really just chewing really well and taking it slow...

Hi everyone! 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Haven't weighed in in a few weeks so I don't know exactly how many lbs I am down around 40 I think... Anyway I went shopping today as we are headed to vacation this week and had a personal victory. I was able to buy pants at Kohls for he 1st time. I actually fit into a 24 I was a 28!! Woo Hoo!!! So happy!

I was sleeved on March 18, and in 2 weeks lost 17lbs.. Then this week nothing! I'm getting very discouraged.. The liquids are a struggle for me to meet everyday. There are days I wake up so weak, it takes forever to do my hair of a morning, because I have to take breaks.. I'm getting all my Protein by drinking the Isopure Zero drinks. I can tell I'm losing inches but just not seeing the numbers in weight. I have such a hard time just getting food down, I almost dread the thought of eating because it makes me feel so yucky.. I'm wondering if it will always be this way. I can't imagine trying to eat a piece of meat! Trying to stay positive, but this week I'm having a little regret!
