Me toooooo!!!!!! I was telling my husband today that every time I brush my hair I get a handful! And I've started to break out a little. Any tips would be helpful!

MAY SLEEVERS!! What's your progress!!? Surgery day: 214 lbs Currents weight:169 lbs What are your fave foods and activities now? How does everyone feel!? I'm loving the weigh loss and hating the loss of energy that has gone with it. Still very confused about what to and what not to eat. Please post pics! I will be sharing mine one I get home and take a current! Xoxo to all!

Hi everyone!! My name is Kimberly I'm 22 and I'm from tupelo' date=' ms. I was just sleeved on 7/2/13 and im already down 14 pounds![/quote']

GREAT JOB!! Congrats and welcome!!

I was sleeved May 20th about 6 weeks out and I'm having trouble coming up with things to eat. What does your daily food intake look like? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Snacks? How much Water should I be drinking a day? Caloric intake? I've tried calling and reaching my nutritionist and can't get a hold of her. Help!

Hi all!! I'm down 26 lbs but I'm a little concerned. I have no energy and barely eat anything. I forget to eat and when it's time to eat I can't seem to do it. It's hard for me. I feel like crying. My lips are chapped and I feel so weak. I wanna eat but it kindve disgusted.

24 and 4 weeks out! I eat mashed potatoes and it kinda hurts going down. And grated chicken hurts too. Anyone have this problem?

You will it just takes time. I just started to enjoy meal time with family again about 2 months ago. I can't eat as much but I still feel normal.

Thanks!! Makes me feel hopeful, looking forward to that normal feeling.

Thanks for the response!! I've been feeling a little discouraged. I have an urge to feel normal. My husbands deployed right now and It often makes me sad to think that I might not be able to enjoy dinner with him. Down 24 lbs already but I'm just so anxious.

How are you feeling! How long have you maintained that weight and what are your eating habits? YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! Congrats congrats CONGRATS!!!

I'm 24 days out and I barely get hungry and often forget to eat. Is this normal? I've heard of people that feel like they're starving and I almost never do ): weird. ):

I lost 10 lbs the first week and not a lb more since. Also sleeved on the 20th.. Everything makes me nauseous. I barely eat anything, was put on the liquid diet till further notice since my sleeve was so tight that purée wasn't going down easy. I'm very discouraged and depressed. Not to mention tired and weak. ):

Oh no. I'm so sorry.

It's ok thank you love.

And just thinking I have to start over again from Clear Liquids just sucks so bad. I don't even get hungry. I've lost 11 lbs and barely have any bowel movements. I just feel terrible emotionally and physically.

I dont know where to begin. This last month since my sleeve has beem so hard on me. Im still just nibbling n even when I do that I get a sense of restriction in my lower throat' date=' upper stomach area. I generally do not 'feel good.' I keep hoping amd telling myself, give it time. When I came out of surgery I weighed 223. Now I'm at 192. That is my only joy. I wish I could be more enthusiastic like most threads I've seen but I can't yet. Again, maybe in six months. Rt now, I'm hard to live with bc #1 I don't feel good and #2 I'm a single mom of four n its been hard to work (my job is taxing to healthy individuals) so finances are getting slim. Please pray for me, those of you who are believers. I just want to feel normal again instead of feeling like I have a rock stuck somewhere. Im never 'hungry' im just empty n hurting, then after the smallest intake Im full of air n hurting. I chew so slow my jaws are tired but i still get gas n hv lost the ability to burp. Im still vomitting every day at least once, regardless of whether I've eaten or not n I'm very 'let down' by this process. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT. But again...ask me in six months. Wish I had a better post. I do enjoy reading all the wonderful posts here though.[/quote']

I feel your pain honey. I will keep you in my prayers and feel free to message me at any time. I was sleeved May 20th and sadly I have to start on Clear liquids once again. I honestly feel like just bursting into tears. I feel like nobody understands me. With my husband deployed and not being able to talk to him I'm having serious food withdrawals and me being an emotional eater I just want a cupcake, a slice of pizza and a Mountain Dew. Ive found the thought of regret passing my mind a few times. This is so hard ):

How far out are you? And no I don't think a Tylenol will kill you. It will dissolve.

And thank you for the fast response.

How far out are you? And no I don't think a Tylenol will kill you. It will dissolve.

I'm just 21 days out. ): may 20th I feel like its stuck.

If anyone could help it would be great. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and a little while ago around 4 am I could stand the back pain and got up and swallowed a Tylenol whole. I didn't mean to I was half asleep. I don't feel anything but I'm scared because the reason I was at the hospital is because the area where my esophagus and sleeve meet is so tight it wouldn't let things down easy. I'm scared It might hurt or kill me or something. I was sleeves on may 20th. Do you guys think ill be ok??

Oh my Christy sorry this is happening to you. Hope you get better soon. How will they take care of the issue?

Thinking about you.

I'm not sure. They said that where my esophagus meets my sleeve its very tight so I've been on ice chips for 4 days now. ): even Water is hard on me.

I've been in the hospital now 3 days. My sleeve was so tight that my liquids gets stuck and takes forever to go down. They have me back on the liquid stage and currently only having ice chips. My pancreas and esophagus are swollen. ):

I'm doing good I'm 2 weeks post-op tomorrow! I lost 18 lbs the first week! I've stalled out for 5 days! Ran 4 miles today and looks like the weight is gonna start dropping off again! Energy levels are good I'm rarely hungry and I'm ready to go back to work next week!

CONGRATS!!! That's amazing progress you're doing great!!! I've been stalling for about 5 days as well. I'm assuming my body is in shock from the difference. Lol keep up the good work!!

Thank you so much everyone!!!! ❤❤❤

HOW ARE ALL MY MAY PEEPS DOING!!!!??! Progress!? Weight loss? Feelings (emotional/physical)?

Personally, I've gone down 12 lbs. just entered phase three under my doctors diet, purée. Feeling very anxious and having food withdrawals. I feel moody and I have absolutely no appetite. It's actually hard for me to remember to eat. I do take my supplements every day. I do feel somewhat more energy and I'm hoping this attitude Of impatience and anxiety goes away. How long are you guys taking Nexium for? How is everyone holding up? God bless! Xoxo -Christy<3

I need to go buy food but I'm unsure as to what things I can eat. What did you guys buy or are buying during this phase? Can I have hummus? How do you prepare your chicken? recipes? Tips!? Anything goes!! God bless and thanks in advance! Is tuna a no go?

Holy crap it's a universal sleeve craving!! I've been dreaming of a cheesy thin crust New York style pizza. Mmmmm. Sigh.
