Gaunt and an Amazon, really!
Sorry that your friend did you like that. I have been the smallest out of all my friends and we have been friends since junior high school. When I first start gaining the weight they were sooo happy we all ate and ate and ate together. We all have develop a health issue throughout the years. Being that I consider myself still young I wanted to do something about it. I'm not as close with a lot of them as I used to be or have I spoken to them in a while. But they don't know I have had the surgery and are now calling saying things like your trying to be the skinny one again when I post a picture on fb or the sending me messages asking how did I lose weight. I choose not tell because some people can be negative and become jealous for no reason. I'm still the same person inside!

Milestones
Same as yours! I was sleeved 10/7/13. I went from a 22 to a size 16! I found myself still going in the plus size for 2x then once I try them on I'm like this is way to big. Then walking past mirrors and thinking is that me! My wedding ring slides off my finger and I figured I have a ways to go so I'll wait to get it sized! Congratulations on your journey! I'm at a 41 pound lost.

Happy to be to have the gastric sleeve!
I was sleeved on 10/7/13! I broke down and got a scale on Monday. My starting weight was 261 I now weigh 223! Went from a size 22 to 16! I am amazed! I find myself walking pass mirrors sometimes and be like who is that thinking it's somebody beside or behind me(I'm not crazy). I have more engery my skin is lighter and I am so healthy that I cut my chances of having increase health problems by having this surgery! I see my doctor next Monday to see if I get taken off 2 of the 3 meds I'm on.

I don't own a scale!
I'm very pleased with my progress so far. I was sleeved 10/7/2013 and I'm now 2 months out went from a size 22 to 16! I last weighed on my visit to the doctor 11/20/13. I have a scale at home but it doesn't work. I want to know what my current weight is but I'll have too wait. The reason I hadn't brought one is cause I don't want abuse it.

4 weeks post op!
I am 4 weeks out and I can't tell a big difference in my clothes and face. The reality to me is I know everyone is different. I haven't weigh in since 1 week post op and I lost 16 pounds. I don't want to weigh again until I see my nutritionist on 11/20/13. I want to see a huge difference but I know it still takes time.

How long before you saw your weight loss?
I have notice in my face and legs are smaller. I am 5 weeks out. I lost 16 pounds at my 1 week post op visit. I have not weighed in since. I don't want to be OCD about weighing like I know I can. I see my nutritionist on 11/20.

Sleeve stretched?
I was sleeved 10/7/13 and feel the same. I can take down fluids with no problems. But when the food comes that's when I really fill the restriction. I am on purée/soft and I instantly know after 3 to 4 spoons that's it I'm full!

Nurses- when are you going back to work?!
Hi! I am now the field nurse supervisor at my company in which it consist of me getting out in the field making homevisits etc. I was told 2 weeks by my doctor. I was sleeved 10/7/13. I actually went back to work Monday and just did office work filing putting my charts in order. I do miss my nap time during the day! Lol! My supervisor told me at anytime I don't feel well I can leave. But so far I have been doing good.

Pureed Food!
Are you still doing liquids? I am trying to get this soft food under control! My sons French fries were looking mighty tasty! Lol! My sister was sleeved in Feb. and lost 86 pounds she told me she ate 1/2 turkey sandwhich on wheat with fat free and baked chicken wings only 1 on her soft stage. She curves and bends things to her satisfaction but who doesn't she has done really good she went from a 24 to a 14! She's my little sister so I listen to some of the stuff she says! Lol!

Pureed Food!
We had surgery October 7! How has it been going for you?

Pureed Food!
I eat eggs, tuna, oatmeal, today I had a salad grind up really good only 1/2 cup tolerated well. I still do my shakes and skim milk and plenty of water. Somebody else recommended hash and to make a crustless quiche which I may do tomorrow. I still look around and explore for new soft foods so I won't get tired eating the same thing.
