Great way to work that sleeve

Fantastic post and great work on your part!

Fantastic progress!

8 weeks today and have gained 2 lbs in two weeks. . I need to bury my scales!

Job well done!

Good thoughts being sent your way. Let us know how you are doing when you get a chance, please.

Celebrate your success!

Well done and it will only get better

Congratulations and congratulations!!

My doctor said no crackers the first year or goal whichever come first. He said mainly it is because the crackers swell up and you have no room. For the foods that are a priority. As everyone else will tell you, do what your doctor tells you though

I went from 6 daily meds to one in just a month! The one left is cymbalta and more for feet pain than depression!

I craved a salad for weeks before I could have one (6 weeks) and it is my favorite meal which is such an improvement over ice cream being my favorite thing . I had the band for almost 6 years and could eat no salad so now i am digging them!

Take each step slowly. It can be overwhelming but know that it gets better and the payoff is priceless!

Whatever works is my motto. If I have learned nothing else since my revision, with the sleeve it is extremely individualized! Besides your post brings to mind a scripture"he whom is without sin, cast the first stone". I have no desire to be stoned

As you can see from my signature, I was a reversion and I have not only slowed but have gained a little. I started exercising on a schedule on monday so I know I need to increase my calories to loose but that is difficult to do when I am never hungry and hope to never see a protein drink again:)

I am not supposed to weigh at home. At first it was difficult but now I am used to it. Everyone's weight can go up and down so once a month is good measurement. I have read where some people have their spouse hid their scales

Just remember, whatever you drink needs to count towards your daily calorie intake. I, myself, would rather get my food by chewing instead of drinking and that is what my dr. Advised.

I had band removal, hernia repair and the sleeve and had planned on a week off but ended up with two weeks off except for a small amount. Of work from home. I still tire easily after 7 weeks so I would suggest that you plan on lots of rest time after you return to work.

I was told prenatal gummy vitamins would help and also putting coconut oil in your hair, saturating it well and leaving in for 30 minutes and then wash as usual. Also like some already said, the less product the better and try not to use clips bands, etc. I lost a LOT with my Lapband but didn't have this information. Good news is it did all grow back.

I was allowed to swim or walk at 2 weeks.

I didn't even think once about how I looked. I didn't even put in my false teeth until the day I went home. I had a revision and hernia repair so I wasn't allowed out of bed. I will tell that I am 62 years old also so I allowed myself some leniency

My stomach makes terrible growling noises as my food makes its way into and through . I am 7 weeks out and have had no actual hunger at all. Head hunger, now that ugly demon just needs to go away!

Yes, what she said . You will do great. Stick with this forum and learn all you can!

I would just mention, and by no means intending to scare you, but a lot of us were on an emotional roller coaster until everything settled some so you might have the help to shield the children a bit

I did and I have heard of others that have also. The good news is it will pass, but not as quickly as you would like. I am almost 7 weeks out and I regain strength and stamina each day.
