I do. I was sleeved on March 4th by Dr. Juarez.

I finally started losing again...I hope. I lost 2 lbs in the last 3 days. I don't know if it's gonna go up and down again but I'll take what I can get.

I feel like I'm pregnant again because all I talk about and think about is food. Every conversation starts with "you know what sounds good...". I'll be so glad when and if food stops hijacking my brain.

Right with you.

U hit the nail on the head. I want one sooo bad! Or a fully loaded

Someone seriously brought me a platter of Cookies as a get well gift. I appreciate the thought, but...ugh.

Omg that Doritos cool ranch taco supreme looks sooo good! I curse at the tv every time I see it.

I want to guzzle a bunch of water!!! I am do very thirsty and can't get enough. I was a big Water drinker before surgery.

I just thought when I had this surgery my desire for food would wane. It has not. I want pizza and a KFC chicken pot pie!!

I feel i wanna cry everytime i ca taco bell or subway commercial ! Damn. This head hunger

I'm just over 2 weeks post op and got 2 tattoos Wednesday. One on the inside of my right wrist and one on the top of my right foot.
Here's my opinion for IV's. I'm a paramedic and from my 8 years of starting IV's the wrist is the most painful spot to go. There are a ton of nerve endings on the inside of your wrist. I will not stick there unless it is a last resort.

Hey guys...I am one week post op and wanted to share an app that helps you eat slower which = less pain :-D
It's called "Eat Slower". You set it on whatever interval you want. I have mine set on 2 minutes and it notifies me every time i can take a bite. This helps me realize I'm full faster and to avoid the "I took one too many bites" syndrome!

Hello everyone. I was sleeved on the 4th and was feeling really good this morning but I think I overdid it today and am really exhausted. Went to costco today and got their ready to drink Premier Protein drinks in chocolate and I love them. Way better than the chocolate muscle milk whey powder I had to mix. I've been good on getting my Protein in but not so good on Water, I definitely need to step that up. I weighed myself today and I am down 11 lbs from surgery date...amazing! It kind of makes being totally miserable with these Clear Liquids worth it. Best of luck to you all.

Mag! We can all relate, I'm sure. But you know what I remember? I remember how many times I built myself up: I'm gonna eat right, excersise, lose weight. And for the first week or maybe two I do. But then the results aren't fast enough or I pms and just quit. I say " the world may end tomorrow, I'm gonna have a brownie". This surgery is that crutch I need to lean on when I start thinking the world may end before I can have another brownie. We can do this! I have thought your same thoughts. I have apologized to my husband and family that it has come to such an extreme that now I need them to take care of me because I couldn't do it. Ya know what my dad said? He said just like any addiction, people need help. The surgery is there for a reason, because it is sometime necessary. You've had the surgery you can't reverse it. Just think about how this time next year our asses will be the hottest sexiest things around. And we have that "fat girl" personality, which is undeniably the best kind to have! I'm here for you girl! We can make it through this stupid decision together!!

Lol it should be fine! Unless you carry the majority of your weight in your wrist!!

I was told if you didn't get enough Protein, you would lose your hair and muscle tissue among a list of other things. I was drinking muscle milk's chocolate powdered Protein Shakes and I couldn't take it anymore. I went to costco yesterday and got their Premier Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate. They are pretty good. To me they taste like really sweet chocolate milk and they have 30g of protein which means I only need two a day.
