Ok I can finally post something

It's more like before and during

Nov 2013 to March 2014 down 45 lbs.

surgery 2/6/14 down 30 lbs since.

40 lbs to goal.

I had the sleeve done on the 12th of feb (5) days ago and I feel like I can A, go bad to work already B, eat whole food already Is this normal ? My incisions are healing nicely And I'm not on any pain meds since day two As of right now I'm doing 11/2 of the GNC shakes and broths, crystal light & Water and two spoonfuls of farina per day plus chewable multivitamin chewable Pepcid AC and a chewable Calcium pill. Is anyone else going thru this ? I want to eat something soiled and I want to hit the gym and do stuff !!

I'm 11 days out and have felt the same way. I haven't tried "normal food" lol only because I'm super scared but I did tried hiking yesterday since I was feeling good. I couldn't do a full hike but it was ok. I was however feeling super tender today. Today was my first day back to work but I have an office job so it was not bad at all.

Thanks for the support...as of this evening his things are packed and he's on the couch..I'm nobody's door Mat..I've never taken crap off him and I'm not about to start...

It's only going to get better! Don't even worry about it.

Nnegrete329, you can have the avocado, you just need to mix it with a lot of Water and drink it. Or, you can tell yourself that just waiting a week or so and you can mash up an entire avocado and eat it over four me a ls.

I've been telling myself just one more week and I can mash It up lol

It was a bad day mostly.

Thank u all for the support

Hang on nnegrete329, you can do this. We are praying for you

Thanks!

I really hope tomorrow is better. Today was really hard. On the upside I'm down 7 lbs since Thursday yay!!

But dang it I'm still wanting avocado. Maybe once the puréed stage comes it won't be as bad

Alright guys I need help!!!

I'm at the stage of WHAT THE F*** DID I JUST DO TO MYSELF!!

I'm so irritated today and I just want to eat something. Not hungry but today I really just wanted some avocado... Like really really really wanted avocado. And I cried bc I couldn't have it and the I put myself in a panic because it seems I'll never eat again!!!

Good luck to everyone coming up this week!!

Today I'm feeling a bit better. Happy to be home. I tired sleeping on my side and it sucked!! I got a bunch of acid coming up and wanted to throw up!

Other than that it's all good. My incisions don't bother me at all. And all I really wanna be able to do right now is fart. But I guess my body wants to be a lady and burp it all out lol

Hope everyone is doing well!

Kim posted another thread about this but I thought I would bring it up in out little group. We are both 5 days out and she mentioned in her thread something I dealt with today as well. Hunger. I don't think I actually felt hungry, as much as I just wanted to eat. I had a lot of errands to run and even attempted to go trough the drive through at Taco Bell for pintos and cheese before I changed my mind and drove of before I placed an order. It's crazy what a hold I let it have over me but I also think it's like all changes, it takes a while to get used to a new way of doing things. I keep reminding myself that these first few months are defining for most WLS patients. The most weight is lost at the beginning and if I don't follow the rules, I'm going to be so disappointed.

How r u feeling at 5 days

Alright I finally feel good enough to type lol

Surgery went well. Small hernia repair. I do have a lot of discomfort. And had a terrible pain attack earlier today.

I can't seem to stop burping.

But I feel ok. Getting up with no help and have been walking a lot. I should go home tomorrow

Just checked in!!!! Keep me in your prayers!!!

Surgery is tomorrow!

Today I'm on all Clear Liquids and it feels like the first day of the pre op diet!

I'm so hungry!!!! I don't have to be at the hospital till 11:30 am so I'll know I'll be starving by then!

Ok vent over

Man. I took a few sips of my Protein Shake and I feel so full that I feel sick. Like it won't go down my throat. Insanity. I had to take some pain medicine and it's like even that dose is too much for my tummy right now.

I'm sorry your in pain... But I kinda can't wait for that feeling lol

Well guys, I'm going to keep being honest. I'm in a pretty fair amount of pain without the morphine pump. I have another 3 hours before I can have lortab again and my pain level is pretty high. They brought me a tray of full liquids. I am sipping Gatorade (the G2) and it is making me nauseous.. I have a weak gag reflex and I get nauseous pretty easy though. Overall I feel pretty good but at this moment I'm miserable.

I'm glad you're doing well. Mines on Thursday and I'm still prepping everything at home and work getting more nervous day by day.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi there!! 2/6/14!!!

Congrats!!!

Hi , Congrats on your approval. I also was supposed to be operated on by Braverman last Jan. !6, 2-014, but I cancelled when I found out that my insurance approved the surgery but would only guarantee payment for the band removal and not the revision to gastric sleeve. I am curious to know your opinion on the NEW Program and their professionalism? Braverman has good personality but the administrative side is questionable in my opinion. Has that been your experience? Have you had any problems getting your records of all diagnostics performed on you?

I have had a good experience with them. I keep in contact with Becky and she's also good at calling me to make sure it's all ok. I do like dr. Siegfried better than dr. Garner but she's not bad either.

The girls there have also been pretty good at helping and don't really have any complains about.

Have you been to any of the groups?

Me too! 1030 am on Feb 3rd.

I was ready to cancel it on Thursday!!!

I guess I'm one of the first up on 2/3. Anyone with me?

I'm on the 6th.

How are you feeling? As far as emotionally, I'm asking bc I have way too many emotions going on

P

Ok so tomorrow I start my 2 week diet. It's not completely liquid as I get a bar a day but still won't be easy.

The thing is that for the past six months I had been talking about how the day before I would go all out on food and have a wonderful steak dinner.< /p>

Well I've been sick for the last three days and have had no appetite. Today I had oatmeal for fb and a lunchables for lunch.

I'm not craving ANYTHING. The only reason I feel I should eat is bc this is it for a while you know. Although with time I will be able to enjoy those foods again, it just feels like I need to gobble it all down.

But not tonight, tonight I'm having baby carrots and grilled chicken for dinner. And it's only because I need my Protein after the kick ass workout I did. If I did go out I would probably be forcing myself to eat.

Let's hope I feel the same the next three days as I heard they are the hardest lol

Ok blabbing over

I had accidentally posted this on another thread lol
