  1. I should stop weighing myself too. Two weeks haven't loss anything. I am reconsidering why did I do this again? Depressed. I am on purées and can hardly eat over 500 calories but still haven't loss any more weight. I guess I am now a Debbie downer :-(
  2. Has anyone had the shamrock protein drink 30g of protein.
  3. To be honest a few days out I was starving couldn't wait to eat real food. Could not finish my scrambled egg this morning, took me 2 hrs to finish a non fat yogurt, now it's dinner mashed potato with pink salmon with sweet peppers and cranberries all mixed together, 3 bites and I get a pain in in right side. I guess that's my cue that I am full. Omg. Will I b able to eat more after awhile. wen I make my own food how do I log it into my fitness? Does anyone else gets that pain in ur right side after eating
  4. u r right and such caring people too who understands wat u r going thru and not b judgmental either. Love reading these threads and it also allows me to vent cuz no one knows about my surgery but u guys and my family. :-)
  5. u Jamaican girl. I am and I am curvy too. Just got sleeved on 8/20 and so far my hips are still in tack I have however developing a smaller waistline but still new to the tool don't know wat will happen later on. I hope we do keep the curve my husband likes it lol
  6. August 20th sleeved today Monday for past few days feeling really tired and worn out. Just ate 2 bites of my scrambled eggs got a pain in my chest ( scary) my husband said I ate too fast. Now I am laying down. Tried drinking crystal light disgusting and too sweet yuck.. Omg will I ever b sone wat normal again? I can't even tidy my house no flipping energy in my entire body. Tell me this is temporary. Wat have I done I keep asking myself.
  7. Yay!!! Today I transition to purées my tummy is making such loud noises it's not funny. Usually eggs are my favorite but after waiting so long to eat I don't think so. It just doesn't taste the same. I was so excited to b on this stage but now I don't know if I really want to eat. Two bites (wat!!! Yes two bites) and I start to feel that restriction.
  8. I know how u feel. I start purées tomorrow I begged my doc to start earlier didn't know if it was head hunger or real hunger so I start two days earlier. Can't wait to eat some scrambled eggs mmmmm!!! Hang in there.
  9. to be honest u can't tell if u had a piece of ur stomach removed. The only time u come to any realization is if u gulp and wen the liquid is going down it takes ur breath away cuz it stops u in ur tracks. Or ur tummy will make weird noise. No pain in the tummy soreness in the incision sights and gas but that's about it for me.
  10. u can say that again. I start purée tomorrow had surgery on 8/20. Afraid to gain weight wen I start purées. Lost 17lbs since but don't know exactly how this sleeve really works in losing the weight. I would like to lose 40 more #'s. How did u do it. If u don't mind sharing.
  11. Hello all. Can some one tell me as we move forward to each stage how much protein should I be having for each stage...I will going on to purées but not sure how much protein I need at this point. Help. Thnx
  12. I have a question. I hear about stomach stretching and all that is it possible to not lose weight two weeks after surgery?
  13. u just had surgery trust me u won't regret it in a few days wen u put ur clothes on and it's big. Not just the clothes but over all u r going to feel better. just rest and allow urself to heal. Drink ur broth as warm as u can to get rid of some of the gas. Eat the Popsicles it too will awaken ur spirits. Don't rush it. Take it nice and slow. U r going to c in a few days. By Saturday/Sunday.
  14. no binder for me but I can tell u the pain meds were bad. I couldn't tell wat was real and wat wasn't glad I am off that. Trust me I didn't think I would feel good again but u will. 9 days out, and since starting weight to now 20lbs down already. Surgery date 8/20
  15. had surgery on 8/20 by 8/24 I was feeling much better. It will soon pass
  16. u got this. Girl power. U will do great listen to hospital staff and even if u don't want to walk. Get up and walk anyway. Best of luck on ur new journey.
  17. I too would say I was in a mourning stage I started to regret it so badly then my husband started saying u r looking thinner then of course that motivated me, but I am not gonna say it's easy u have to take the bull by the horn and go for the ride. Hang on I keep telling myself it will b worth it.
  18. Hi guys. Yeah I made it to full liquids. So happy my sleeve though don't care much for yogurt it's as if I would puke eating it did this happen to anyone. 8 days out and wen I swallow it still hurts down in my tummy where I feel the water or yogurt traveling . Do u all get that feeling too. Thanks. Hope all is doing well. Happy Wednesday
  19. ok I am constantly drinking drinking still don't feel that restriction I started to think my surgeon didn't do it right. So I guess I am not alone. Thanks for responding. My purée is next week. Can't wait.
