  1. 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.
  2. I still have pain when sneezing and coughing at 4 weeks out. The pillow helps dramatically!
  3. Thank you for your prayers. I am supposed to be takin meds and i will try again tomorrow. They were making me sick so I stopped taking them. Oopsi. Also I have not been payimg attention to my protein shakes like I should. Tomorrow is a new day! thanks again for your prayers!

  6. 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
  7. I had surgery 1-29. I have gained 7 pounds since starting pureed foods. I can not get a handle on this head hunger crap! Im not hungry yet I eat. I eat crap I KNOW I shouldn't eat. I need help and please done preach at me I have had enough of that by my "friends" and myself. Do I start all over maybe a day a clear liquids and a cpl days of full? I just dont know what to do. I am in full depression mood too. Please.. any ideas any advice any words of wisdom. Thank you for not spreading negativity

  9. 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
  10. 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!
  11. 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 =~}
  12. Why does the butter matter bin early sleeves? Im just wondering as I am 2.5 weeks out and had butter tonight. (Pureed foods with butter sauce) I am hurting but was wondering why. I am not the smartest of ppl and really dont wanna share my stupidity but... I had to ask
  13. Omg me too! Well I have been eating about 5 oz of soup but today ibate a whole yogurt and that was about 5.5 oz I was kinda freakin and was wondering if I was stretching my new stomach out. I sure hope not
  14. That sounds yummy! Im gonna try too!
  15. Lol. Glad I am not the only one! Just wanting to get back to a routine. Not working right now. I can get some major things done if this pain and hunger crap wouls go away. Went shopping today and I am in some nice pain now lol. Guess im trying to much to fast?
  16. I take prescription omeprozole. Im not quite sure what is goin on. I just want something besides water, flavored water and soup! Uhg lol
  17. I am so hungry for real food! Anyone else? I was sleeved 1/29 and jello... is not cutting it anymore! I smell all the great smells of real food!? Anyone have any advice or recipes? Thank you

    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.
  19. Awesome!! We have the same before stats.. I can't believe its possible to lose so much. You look amazing girl!! Congrats girl!
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. Thank you. Have u ever experienced anything like this?
  23. I am 8 days out and in the worst pain! Its on my left side over my ribs! Can not lay down and can not stand straight. Anyone experience this before. Plus it hurts to swallow anything. Once it hits my tummy.. pain. Any ideas on why this is happenin? I plan on calling thebdoc as soon as they open today.
  24. 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! !
  25. 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!
