Everyone has an opinion !!! Be true to yourself and follow your heart. NO ONE in my family agreed with me .... And I even had surgery in Mexico. Well, I have learned that some family members can be very toxic to me and kill my spirit, at 42 I decided to live life for me. In my family I was either too fat and got comments on it , and if I lost weight I got criticized for that to. So .... I decided .... **** em and did what I wanted , just asked them to send prayers my way , but didn't ask for their approval - even told them that I didn't want to hear anything from them, just that I needed to let them know out of love and respect. Good luck honey, no one knows how painful it is being overweight if they have never walked this road. I had gotten to the point where I didn't want to live if I had to live with my extra 80 pounds ..... So for me ... Surgery was my last option .... I was done with the emotional pain I had for over 30 years. Now, I am 5 weeks post op, and my family RARELY talks about the fact I had surgery ..... It's fine by me- I am spending this time learning how to live my life and getting some space from toxic people and situations (which I used to eat over ) Good luck to you - follow your heart and be true to yourself- ❤

Just wanted to hear from others who are farther along and have found a way to live this lifestyle, had weight loss success and don't "diet" Or .... Is that a JOKE ?

I was sleeved by Dr. Jose Rodriguez.... Great experience .. Great team of people

5 weeks out and no hair loss

Omg !! I would be nerveous too ! I ole all is well , please let me know what the doctor says -

I had surgery on a Thursday, back at work following Tuesday , full time . I was tired but it was good to be busy and not thinking about my next liquid or the pain from my incisions . I did not lift or bend .. Just sat at my desk

Am if the only one who can't eat slow and is tired of burping after a meal ??

I was down 20 pounds at 4 weeks, had a sight stall between weeks 3 and 4. I am too afraid to weigh myself ... In the old days this weight loss would have been a miracle ...... But after reading the threads, I see people who loose sooooo much more than me - like 30 - 35 pounds .... I am afraid to weigh, i am 5 weeks post op .... And don't want to get depressed .... My food is at least 60 gm Protein ... 800 cal Help!

You guys are so silly !!! Okay so, Sleeve of Steel .... I am new to these boards and wanted to ask you a couple of questions regarding some previous post I have read ... How can I contact you ? I don't know how to do it through here .... ???? Stop laughing people !!! I am not very forum savvy !! I posted another tread earlier today regarding my week 4 weight gain after moving to regular food .... Was hoping you'd read it and supply some feedback on your experience ... Thanks for showing up !! Kiss kiss ????☺hahahha these guys are clowns !

Hi .... I am looking for this member... But don't know how to reach her .... Are you out there ?

Ok, down 18 pounds first 3 weeks post op. week 4 started to add "regular food" Now I am up 1 pound .... For week 4 ..... I was on a trip. Ate yogurt , Protein drinks , cottage cheese .... At dinner had maybe 3 bites of a meatball 2 bites of salad, 1 bite of Pasta ... Another dinner, has LESS than 1 cheese taco w/ corn tortilla .... Another carpaccio (thin raw beef with lettuce ). ... I had 1 scoop of ice cream ... That's it ... During the week for sweets , no Bread etc... I thought with such a small amount of food and such a small tummy and appetite , regular food would be okay for me to eat ... I have spent 30 years yo young, counting calories and carbs and binging and crash dieting. I really thought that this was going to be some how a little different .... I see here that so many people eat regular food and are happy and successful , what have I done wrong ? It has been only 1 week of real food and I gained !!! Please help .... But no shark attacks please.... I'm not up to it .... Constructive loving advice completely welcome -

Did you work out like and woman with weights ?

How did you do it .... Kill yourself working out with weights ? Any chance some people might not get the Loose skin problem ? Just can't imagine having to get a surgery to remove it all when the time comes ... Trying to avoid it. Anyone with experience here ?

At least 60 grams a day

Hi I'm just concerned that I am on the right track . I'm down 18 pounds in the past. 3 weeks since my surgery .... Here is my average day : 8 am Protein drink 10 chobani yogurt 1 pm 1/2 can tuna w/ light mayo ... 5 ritz crackers 4 pm cottage cheese ( small on the go size) 6:30 ... Maybe 2 oz fish, 3 pieces of broccoli , few bites of Soup. Usually before dinner I haven't even had 500 calories... But I never count my dinner calories - as I eat out a lot, and frankly don't feel like obsessing over it ... But I feel like since I only eat a few bites at dinner I am probably okay .... What do you all think ? I am saposed to move on to solids now, but I am frankly scared to eat different foods because they may make me feel sick etc... So I tend to be sticking to shakes, yogurt, Soups, fish .... Did have my first bites of salad last night ... It was good ! How long can I got eating the same "safe" foods though ? I would live to try ground beef for example ... But feel apprehensive or like I may gain weight if I like it too much. Anyone else go through this in the beginning .... How did you became a more normal eater ? Responses welcome from any one ????

sorry, my spelling is aweful today.... caramel

Scotchmellow - not sure of spelling, camreml, marshmallow dipped in milk chocolate ...........

... Well, it seems like I should either chill out or freak out .. heeheheh I guess I wont do it again and hope for the best. there is nothing I can do about it at this point. Thank you all for the feedback
