Inactive Profile

I was sleeved the 9 th, I still can't get anything but liquids down, I take in maybe 300 gal a day and walk 4 miles a day, iv been stick at -27 for a few days, I think it just happens no matter what you are doing bc your body is in shock , my friends all tell me just give it a few days and ill drop 4-10 lbs almost over night once my body has a chance to get adjusted

Me too!!!!!!

We had fellowship dinner a few Sundays ago and I was not eating ( I can't eat anything not even puréed I'm having issues) and the little old ladies just could not understand why I was not hungry, why I was not eating, it blew them away I could just sit talk and enjoy the fellowship and not eat lol

I would like to share this too with ppl who are not yet sleeved, I was at a support meeting about 2 months before I was sleeved and a woman who sits on the board told everyone you will hate cooking it will make you sick and angry bc she wanted to eat, that her husband had to cook all the meals for her kids for a long time. So for months I was cooking and deep freezing meals, bc my kids would have lived off of hot dogs and Mac and cheese had I not...... Or so I thought.... Since the evening I walked into front door after surgery iv cooked every meal and it does not do anything either way, does not make me mad does not make me want food, not even a want to lick my finger, so take everything with a light heart you hear and read ( at lest things like that) bc it really is to each their own

I lost 85 lb when I was 15,and I did ok, I had stretch marks so bad ppl ask if I had a baby but they faded away till 10 years latter I really did have a baby and gained it all back , my belly was never flat but still looked great, my arms never looked like our 1st ladies but they looked fine, my legs ( I play softball) looked amazing bc I worked them out but still where mushy when I sat down, over all I say I was sexy, had no issue with how I looked and never had any neg comments. I think age was def in my favor, this time loseing I'm not sure how ill do, I'm 28 now.

I love not needing or wanting food, I don't want to eat pizza , candy, fries, subway, soda, Mexican, and all that stuff ever again, that's why I got so big in the 1st place. And yes I know years down the road I will be able to eat all that ( just not as much) but by then I hope and pray having the sleeve as this tool will help me stay away from them.

Water, I still can't take anything in with out getting gagged.

Lord Hun I feel you! I gave up the cigs 3 months before surgery, and yesterday I thought OMG I need one, and I only smoked 2 a day 4 at max, but sometimes need time to get my mind straight ( that was my smoke brakes) I have babies and toddlers ,momma needs a brake, so I'm in the mist of finding what will work for me, I'd say ill just take an extra long bath room trip but you know they are never unaccompanied lol...

You just wait girl, it's the best feeling, I wore jeans today that last year cut into me and hurt, today I was holding them up bc they are falling off!!!

This made me lmao... I'm over here rolling

My dr does it threw your belly button incision , but I had him go above bc I did not want my belly ring whole messed up, I most say it's healing well, I was sleeved on the 9 th

That's amazing!!! Good for you!!!

Ill be three weeks post op on wed, iv lost 27 lbs

Do you ever have that feeling that a huge lump is in your chest, iv had one there since the day I came home, and it's not food, bc I don't eat, it's so bad

I'm little less then 3 weeks out, and I gave up on full liquids, went back to clear, I tried yogurt like the dr told me and it was so painful, just one luck sent me to my knees, I'm just playing it safe just like you Mr Gus, ill try again maybe next week, but I'm in not rush bc in losing like a lb a day over here:)

Hater going to hate , lover going to love

I'm almost 3 weeks out, I still have not to try!

It has been for me! Iv had " I worked hard to lose 60 lbs and your getting the easy way out" and the best one yet, " we'll now your going to be the purity one, that's not fair" ok so does that mean I'm the ugly one now, I wanted to slap that chick ( mainly bc even at 267 I'm still cutter then her , lol sorry that's mean but she called me the ugly one basically) ...... I think what it is ( at lest for me) is iv become " the fat friend" the one that being around me makes them feel better ab themselves, bc all my friends back home who never knew me big ( iv gained 120 lbs since I moved away) are only happy and excited for me and can't wait to see me back thin, these chicks here are hating on me.

I like sipping, at 1st it as awful but now I like it. I used to down 20 oz in a matter of sec after a work out. Back then I could pound 3 mc doubles down in about an min too. So my sips remind me to take it easy and I have a new life And a new way of doing things .

I'm good to get 10 grams a day ( 65 grams is my goal) .... I'm a few days from 3 weeks out, I can't stand anything but water or I gag, so getting that protein in is not going so well for me, and I know I have to get it in, slowly I am getting my new stomach ready for it sip at a time

And I can't wait to post pics in a few months! See how far I have come by then

Yes 100% wonderful! My husband , mom and sister log on to read, I am wanting to really stay positive threw this and this group is going to be what does it for me! I'm hoping to make friends so I have ppl to turn to in the good times and the bad , I know this is no easy trip, but it's going to be so fun!!!
