How do you know youre full?
I start coughing and sometimes get hiccups. If I pass the line..I regurgitate.. That does not necessarily mean I ate too much., but that my stomach did not handle the food well. I am 18 days post op and cannot do much soft foods. Mostly puréed for me now.

How long ?
I had surgery on dec 9 and still cannot eat soft foods.. Still do better on purée. If I try to eat soft.. I regurgitate it. So purée goes on for me.

Need help..........What did you do with all of your clothes that are to big!
Will give mine to the ladies who clean my home. They can use it for themselves, give it to their friends, or they can sell to make money, whatever they wish. Love to give things to the ladies who week end and week out come to my service to clean my house without ever complaining ...who r trustworthy and dependable. Pay it forward is my motto.

Smoothie king shakes
Ok..I am about 18 days out and still need to be on purée diet. No soft foods for me, body cannot tolerate it. So I have been going to smoothie king and getting a small gladiator high protein shake, strawberry flavor, I have them add a 1/2 banana and pineapple to shake. I love the shake..it has 40 grams of protein. Natural sugar that is in banana and pineapple only .. I sip on the protein drink for about 2 hours .. Goes down really well.. And is so cool to drink. Has anyone else tried protein shakes from smoothie king? Comments would be appreciated.

Do you order a plate of food?
Hubby and I usually share.. However, the hospital gave me a card requesting the restaurant to all me to order on child's menu. Due to health reasons.

Feeling like food doesn't go down
I should be on soft foods.. However, purée is what I can have at this moment.. Otherwise I find myself throwing up the food I just ate cause it gets stuck in my throat. Guess everyone is different for the different stages.

Sever Nausea after Sleeve... Suggestions needed
Try peppermint oil...or suck on a sugar free peppermint Sunday for a few seconds. That helped me.

My 26th Bday
Don't they make low cal drink now...? Fake a nice drink. It is not the liquor ..it is meeting and greeting. Don't give the power to alcohol. It is not worth it. The purpose of the evening is to socialize with people.

6 days post op and I'm hungry
I was hungry about the sand time as u..day 6. It only lasted one day.. I wanted a hot meal..it was an excruciating day k4 me.. Regrets, mourning and feeling overwhelmed as to what I did to my body. But happy it went away. I think my mind was struggling .. Not real hunger. What I did was have shakes more often that day.. But less ounces. I will get Betty. Yes. Like others mentioned.. Acid can cause this also.
-
Have you ever done this?
Yes I did this twice ..with popcorn and another food item, only one bite. Once I did this..I was not craving the food after . How strange. I guess the power of the food was greater than the taste. Food lost out. I did not go any further

3 months out 251 to 201

December 2013 Sleevers
Hi dec sleevers. Am 14 days out. Feeling pretty good. Having trouble with puréed foods at time.s. But everything's else is great. Had terrible acid in my throat and stomach yesterday.. But it went away. Funny how i can tolerate some foods and some not.. Even though they r pureed. Lost 15 pounds since surgery. Which I am happy about. In the weeks/ months to come, I rather lose slower than too fast.feel that I can make lasting lifestyle changes that way. Hope all the dec sleevers who had the surgery are doing good. For those who will be having surgery in the remainder of dec 2013 ..don't be fearful..all will work out.

Before and After at a Month and a Half
You look so cute. Keep up the good work. The shirt certainly does not look tight to me. Maybe u are used to wearing very loose clothing thinking that us could hide some of the fluff . Now that u are on your way to a smaller body..don't be afraid to wear fitter clothing. It will make u look slimmer and your weight loss will be evident.. You are your way to a healthier and energetic person. !!!!!

I see a lot of "What We are Doing BAD this Holiday Season". What are you doing GOOD?
Good for u lipstick lady..engage In life rather than food stuff. Sounds like a great life style change. I am only 14 days out and I can tell food is certainly not a priority this year. I will have food bought in from a restaurant..so no cooking. No obsessing what to cook, and concentrating on games, watching good movies, etc. this year. I have two grand kids and since I have started this journey.. I am much more aware of what I feed them. You are doing a great service to your family. You r a success in more ways than one. !!!
