Amazing

Good for u..I'm so glad I took the time to read ur sorry..I was sleeved in August and every word that came out of ur mouth sounds like I've said it. It's not easy..I still struggle everyday. My kids love the new healthier me.my husband doesn't love me anymore or any less. I'm 187 and started at 260. It's nice to not walk through the door and feel normal.I am doing so much more with my life..I can see people from years high school and feel good about it..good luck with the next year..how's ur skin lol

I started feeling hunger again maybe four months after surgery. I just tell myself that hunger is unpleasant but not an emergency, and I can put it on the back burner until my next scheduled meal or Protein Shake.< /p>

Okay, I see all these posts where people freak out because they ate something they shouldn't have. Yes, we are supposed to eat ALOT of Protein, which I do. And, we're supposed to drink lots of Water, which I try to do, we're not supposed to drink out of a straw, which I do, I haven't died or had any more pain than not, we're not supposed to eat bread, which I have a couple of times, it hasn't made me sick, if I have a craving for a cookie, I eat it. The bottom line is even if you slip and eat a little of something you're not supposed to , it's not going to ruin your life or end your results. The truth is you will never be able to sit and eat a whole bag of doritoes or a whole package of oreos again. You're stomach will not allow it. So don't freak out because you "slipped" a little, just realize you're human and you're losing weight no matter what.
Now for all you haters out there go ahead and blow me out of the Water with your drama, I know it's coming. ........lol

First u look amazing..congrats..second I was sleeved on August 12...it was the best decision ever. I agree with it being hard to find time to work out..I have two jobs..two kids..and the list goes on. I also work out at my work station lol..it helps me wake up.I'm always on the move with cleaning and with life. I find that I'm so much happier these days. I play with the kids more and more. I started in a size 20 now I'm a 12. I don't like to tell people because the sleeve is a tool and it just helped me figure out that eating healthy makes me happy. I choose to not eat like I did..we can still put sliders in our body but it's the best feeling waking up that I had been in control of my life again. The worst thing is that I'm so constipated all the time.I go once a week but that's with a laxative. Ok so don't get me wrong I do eat and drink some of my old favorites like wine and pizza..but I enjoy it that much more..it's a treat. My goal is to be 130 @ my cousins wedding this may. I started at 261 and now I'm 190. I keep telling myself one day at a time.

Me too woohoo!!! My BMI is 28 gotta get it under 25 to be normal..but its better than obese at 41.5 like it was.

I'm freezing all the time also..it takes me forever to warm up..I to used to only wear a sweatshirt..now I'm like hat..gloves..scarf..boots..check..good luck with the rest of ur winter..n weight loss

U look great.u look so different..so happy for u

That was me also..and still..I am like 10 weeks out and still get this pain..it hurts more when I'm on the go..which is often because I have two little girls..I'm not a doctor but my doctor that I work with pushed on the spot that hurt and pushed..he said if it was really painfull then it could be gallbladder..but it didn't.are u pooping ok..maybe gas..but ultimately consult with ur doctor...I know it's not always something u wanna hear (co pay and time wise) lol

That's so awesome...so so awesome...

U look awesome

I think ur doing great...I'm down 45 and sleeved 8/12. I would be down more if i would start working out...n also if I would not have a snack at night lol..n if I stoped having my pumpkin flavor coffee...grrr what's wrong with me....UR ALL DOING GREAT!

I'm so sorry it wasn't meant to scare you keke but to tell others its ok to feel the way they are feeling and they are not alone.I would love to be able too own this sleeve like many others do.I'm not there in my journey yet. I'm doing good thus far with some bumps n bruises...it's very mental at this time for me. So good luck to everyone one. It's going to be a good ride!

I have had alot of bad days already n guess what I am only four weeks out. I am really grateful you posted this. It's my journey no-one else..I have had an eating issue for many years..hence getting this surgery..I'm fighting this eating habit the best way I can.I miss having food with friends and drinks with my husband..day by day..I don't have time and frankly money to go to a therapist ( Wish I did).I'm so happy that I can have a small pizza instead of three..I'm glad that I have a gilt instead of a whatever feeling.give you self some credit...your on the right track to a better you.I have been afraid to post things because I don't want people to judge..the same way I don't tell people that I had this surgery done...but I'm posting now because some people need to know that there are not alone.

I am 5 days post op n finally feeling a little better!congrats to all august sleeves!

Mine have somewhat....lat pulls at the gym & rowing machine are good for the back fat

I know how you feel. I've told no one except my husband and sons. I just don't want to deal with all the questions, advice, and other baggage. I don't owe anyone an explanation. When your weightloss becomes apparent and people notice, just say "thank you," smile and leave it at that. It's nobody's business but your own. You know how hard you've worked to get to this point and that's all that matters. Good luck to you on this journey. You'll do fine.

Day three is ROUGH, girl. If you had your children too... well, it's no wonder you're tired, sore and discouraged. I didn't have pain meds once I got home, but I still felt loopy for several days, plus the weird stomach sensations and fatigue. I couldn't concentrate on anything, or read, or even watch a show.
Today is Day 7 for me, and I feel pretty good. Still get tired, and that six-week mark sounds about right for feeling back to normal in terms of energy. Hopefully above normal, since you'll have lost so much weight by then!
