  1. My intestines are a problem. Nothing passes through, too much passes through...I really couldn't complain about that anywhere else.

  2. My mouth tastes like wet dog. Vitamins? Protein? Ketosis? Beats me, but it's gross.

      It might be ketosis. My husband had terrible breath when he was on the Atkins diet. The Atkins diet minimizes carbs too.

      Even though I am closing in on my first year post-op, I have not been feeling too swift for several days, now.......drinking water only and eating applesauce and broth. Guess what? The horsebreath is back in spite of mints and toothpaste. Has to be ketosis again.

      It's good to know I'm not crazy! So gross :)

  3. My stomach sounds like a gremlin. It's kinda funny.

      lol. Perfect name for it.

  4. My youngest brother had a heart attack. If that doesn't clear up any doubts about getting this done, I don't know what will.

      Sounds like he was pretty heavy(?)

    2. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Not super heavy, but he had other bad habits and we have a strong family history. I just know now how important it is to take care of myself so I don't head down the same track!

      Hilarious. I had to go buy new one's last weekend. The last thing I wanted to do was go to the mall. But I am actually glad they are smaller. I've always been big chested. I am so over it.

    2. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Yeah, I'm almost there! I just wish my belly would go down so I wouldn't look like a circle, lol.

  7. OMG, *really* sleevezilla? Plain chicken, carrots, and cucumbers have been FINE for lunch all week. Today? She's projectile rejecting them.

      Uh oh! That's no kind of fun. Maybe too much too fast?

  8. Packet submitted to BCBS AZ today. Wonder how long it will take?

    1. pjpanda

      pjpanda

      I have BCBS AZ, it took them 2 days to give me an answer. I would say you should have an answer witthin 5 days (not sure how they are on weekends.)

      Thanks! As soon as the coordinator said she sent it, my "useless" switch got flipped. I haven't gotten anything done at work today, lol.

  9. Received approval letter - just waiting for a date!

      ProudGrammy

      Oh Yeah new life ahead!!!!

  10. Sleeve is working, so why did I find myself ALMOST biting on some ridiculous miracle weight loss drops one of my friends is using? Dumb, dumb, dumb - get it together, girlie!

      You resisted! YAY!

    2. roundisashape

      It IS some crazy programming! It's also funny how, when you start losing weight, people who don't know what you're doing all of a sudden crawl out of the woodwork and try to sell you diet aids. There's no better diet aid than cutting out 80% of your stomach, lol.

    3. Djmohr

      Djmohr

      I still find it funny how every time I see an ad for some new diet miracle I find myself watching it and literally thinking I wonder if that works! LOL I think that was one of my worst bad habits, falling for a the crappy diet fads that did not work long term. Good job staying away!

  11. Spent 2 days cleaning my basement and moving boxes. If I had to touch my toes right now, I'd fall on my face.

  12. Stalled for a couple of months, but people are commenting on body changes and I got into a smaller size the other day. My jeans are all getting too big. So weird the way our bodies work!

      Being awesome does that to you, just sayin' ! ☺Congrats !

  13. T-18, and I want to run around and scream like a velociraptor. I'm so psyched up right now.

  14. That awesome moment when someone you didn't think knew you existed notices you've been losing weight...then tells you they lost 100 pounds themselves!

  15. TMI, but I think all the protein shakes are making my farts smell like a dead raccoon in a heatwave.

  16. to quote every other new sleever: THIS SUCKS

  17. Traveled all weekend and my eating was a little out of control. At least I got plenty of exercise - back on track today!

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy

      past is past!!! you are back on track - good for you keep up the good work kathy

  18. Unexpected even #3,567: when a drink lands on top of a gas bubble, it'll come back out with the burp. That was mildly embarrassing.

  19. Up all night supporting a customer upgrade. Soo tired. Want to eat everything in the house. Maybe even the walls.

  20. Walked a LOT on vacation, but didn't eat quite as well as I should have. It evened out, I came home the same weight i was when I left. I'll take it.

    1. ProudGrammy

      ProudGrammy

      glad you didn't gain - back to program - you'll become a winner again, while you are a loser (did i say that right?? LOL) kathy

      Thanks! Turns out it's just "girly time" - maybe I lost weight and my body just hasn't figured it out yet :D

  21. Wanna hear something funny? Put in earbuds, turn the music off, and listen to your sleeve digest lunch. There's some crazy stuff happening in there, lol.

    1. MrsSugarbabe

      MrsSugarbabe

      LOL!!! Know what you mean! I don't need earbuds to hear my tummy noises :) They're loud enough for others to hear, too. Keeps the day interesting. My hubby just gives me a funny look when the noises start right after supper. During the day, I'm usually the only one at work who has the pleasure of hearing my tummy noises.

  22. Weekends are tough - ate like a fool for 2 days and I'm up a pound. Getting back on the wagon today.

  23. Went bowling as a team building activity at work yesterday. Felt good to be active, but needed to break out the dilaudid for the first time since the weekend I got home from the hospital!

    1. gowalking

      gowalking

      wonderful about the bowling. sorry you needed pain killers. next time, you likely won't.

      I hope not! It's just that one big incision that's still hurting. I find it baffling - I was sliced from stem to stern to have things removed a few years ago, and it didn't hurt as much as this little tiny hole.

  24. Went to Charm City Run for new shoes. Left with shoes and 8 weeks of training for the Baltimore Women's Classic. Can't be trusted in the store, lol.

  25. Went to the movies for the first time since I got sleeved. Fit in the seat like a normal person. It was wonderful :)

      That I awesome. I want to take and airplane soon! I don't travel much and I always hated flying...but I have a desire to go just to know I can be comfortable...or at least as comfortable as anyone can be on a plane these days!

    3. roundisashape

      roundisashape

      Right! I flew at about 3 months and it was tight, but it worked - I'm with you, though, I want to try again!
