QUESTION! ?
I have to admit.. the day I got permission to do pureed I went crazy! I had cream of wheat, lumch was a baked potato with no skin with sour cream. Since then I have had chili and spaghetti and yogurt amd cheese. I missed food. Just make sure you track waht u eat and measure! I am still losing weight.

I really appreciate u taking the time. I stooped coming here after I posted needing help and all I got was negativity from ppl. Judgemental ppl should not post on here. I was so fragile and I took what these ppl said to heart. Then I realized that they dont know me.. they dont know my situation. Anyways. Walking sounds great. I havent been able to take my normal "head" meds for about 2 weeks now so thats really messin with me too. The powder get stuck and I throw up. I guess I will try again tomorrow. Thats a new day right

15 grams of carbs/500 or fewer calories a day until I lose 100 pounds?
I dont have my manual in front of me but 500 cal is very dangerous. It puts our bodies into starvation mode. Sounds like u should go with your gut here and seek other help. Congrats on your loss and on your water intake. Thats amazing! I let about 30 to 40 in

Pureed food ideas?
Good evening great sleevers! I am finally out of full liquids and was wondering what you guy are eating on pureed diets. Lastnight I had spaghetti pureed. It was great but really heavy on my new sleeve. Cottage cheese is good and so is a little bit of cream of wheat. Other than that I haven't had much luck. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I'm Starving!
Im 2.5 weeks out so just introduced pureed foods. The feeling gets to me when something nee is introduced or if my drinks or too cold or if im full. Let me tell you.. head hunger, I thought I had that managed.. being full and being satisfied are TWO TOTALLLLY different things! It does get better tho. Just listen to your new stomach and let it tell u whats right Congrats on all us sleevers =~}

I need to vent!
I wanted to delete this the moment I pushed send. Thank you for all the kind words. The unkind words fall on deaf ears. I love my son more than life itself. My son is a great young man who helps alot of ppl, he does volunteer work. This particular morning my mother was out of line. She admitted it and apologized for it. I may have used the words very defiant but I was wrong. My son listens and respects. I taught him to stand up for what he believes. Although u did not teach him to disrespect his elders (and we talked about this after it happenes) Just wanted to say thank u again.

Freaking Out
Tamik, your body is full of liquids and gas still. Weight loss will come. It takes a bit longer in some ppl. I am in the same boat. I was actually up 8 pounds 2 days out. I am not stepping on the scale until I feel comfortable wearing jeans again. Thats just a personal thing tho. Good luck!

PAIN HELP!
Called the doc. She said it was normal. That my pain was brought on by me stretching and pulling something. My swallowing pain because its cold and it is spasming. So.. I guess I will be taking me oain meds, relaxing and warming everything before I swallow it.

How many sizes have you dropped?!?
Lumpy. I feel ya. Even tho I am onlu a week out. I have no changes and still feel as though I have my full stomach still. I have not stepped on the scale for fear of a higher number. (2 day out I weighed 7 lbs more than surgery day) water weight I know. O just can't do it yet. I have only been wearing sweats and yoga pants so cant tell a difference plus with no bra for a week (im still way sore) I cant tell if my too is smaller either. Prob to soon. when did u guys start noticing a difference? Congraysr on all the success! !

Freaking Out
I am 7 days out and dont feel like I even had surgery. That part was the easiest! It is truely more difficult to change ur relationship with food. Today I wanted a sandwich. I think it was just head hunger but I was actually hungry for it. Lol I still have the fear that they really didnt take my stomach out, that I will always be the fat girl with a pretty face. Address what you r afraid of. Write it down and talk to your doc about it. Talk to your team. That is what they r there for honey!
