I'm very happy! 9lbs down already! Sometimes I feel like I can't breath if I have to yawn or something. I won't lie I am getting a little anxious for some real food since I'm still on liquids. Anything help you guys with the anxiety? Also sometimes I feel sharp pain, it lays only a few seconds, maybe 10, but I feel like my stomach wants to jump out! Is this normal? Any tips on anxiety or overall!? Good luck to everyone on this exciting journey, I'm a stranger but I'm on your team and I'm proud of all of you for making this choice for a better life. Here to give and receive support! Xoxo P.S. my husband is currently gone on deployment so when he gets back any tips on I guess helping him adjust to my new eating habits!? All comments appreciated! God bless!

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!

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!

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?

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. ):

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.

And thank you for the fast response.

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??

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. ):

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!!!! ❤❤❤

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?

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
