Looking good!

Sorry about your issues I hope they get better. I'm doing good so far finally hit my 200 lb mark down from 235:)

I was sleeved May 1 and I can honestly say I'm so happy. I have had lots of stalls along the way but I am loosing. Yesterday I had lost 42 pounds since surgery. I haven't had a day of nausea, or diarrhea. It's interesting how we are all built differently. I currently am eating whatever I want in small quantities. It's funny though I'm not wanting to eat "bad" foods at all. My calories are just around 750 per day. I don't exercise everyday but do find ways to stay active. And I love eating out too because I spilt small meals with my 4 year old - it's so cheap! I've got a long way to go (another 100 pounds) but I see my future is so bright! Keep moving forward May sleevers your goals are just around a few corners

Congrats! I'm 8 weeks out and feel like my old self until it's time to eat and I can only eat a very small amount. Down 30lbs which is great for me.

I was having a hard time getting Protein in too. And bought the Syntrax Nectar sample pack. I have used about 6 so far and they all taste good. I use unsweet almond milk with them.

Glad you're home and doing well!

I'm feeling scared and frustrated - this hurts more than I thought it would and I wonder if I made the right decision. My weight was out of control almost 300lbs and I needed a change.
Hard to get my liquids in today... Did not make 48 oz. can't imagine another week and a half of clear liquids!!
Help me guys!

I licked the salt of a chip and it broke in my mouth. ...never again will i do it.

Coughing, now that can hurt too!

Surgery+stitches+bathroom+constipation=horrible pain
OMG I thought I was going to die!!!!! Week and a half post op.

I get sleeved Monday and feel ready! Anyone have any tips of ways to prepare home for post surgery (foods/pillows etc)? Or anything you were so happy to have in the hospital from home ?
I'm supposed to be in there one night! My husband will stay with me so that's a comfort. food funerals all weekend til Sunday night.
Congrats to all sleeved, recovering and pending

It takes time I had some mash potatoes and the juice off of the baked chicken for the family sure was tasty, but my sleeve didn't like it. Oh well on to the next tomorrow.

Getting better each day went to my post op visit down 20lbs.....awesome!

Praying for a gentle recovery!

Congrats to you!

My husband has been amazing so far. We talk about it quite often. He was very apprehensive at first. Not because of insecurity, but because of the risks. He is hanging in there with me and all of emotions LOL! I can't wait to just get it over with. He knows that this is a huge change that will rock both of our lives and the lives of our children. For the better of course! I am really looking forward to seeing how this will improve our relationship, especially physically. We have a very healthy relationship now so I can only imagine.

I'm doing really good I'm also down 20 pounds!

May 7th at 9 am..... Here it comes....

I'm a week post-op and I still have to sip. I can do about an ounce every 12 minutes or so. But that's more than I could do yesterday which was more than the day before, and on and on.

Ok so I officially started puréeds today! It was the first day since surgery I've been able to get a whole Protein shake down too! I actually got 6 oz down at one time! That was weird. I ate some chicken noodle Soup that I puréed with canned chicken and some Protein powder (about 4 teaspoons of that mixture). Then I decided I needed to go to the store to get some provisions. I bought tons of puréed type food to eat! Baby food too! Probably enough to last me a month! As I was finishing up I got light headed, nauseous, and pale! Several people asked me if I was ok.....guess I took it too fast! When I got home I ate 4 oz of sugar free pudding in one setting! It slid right down. Then for supper I had refried Beans with plain Greek yogurt on top....about 4 tbsp of food. I over stuffed myself and got quite worried I had done damage. Then it digested and I feel great! It's scary being able to eat again. I'm quite sore still when I take a deep breath. Very little gas pains today. I think my body is happy that I ate real food today....it's no longer producing copious amounts of painful gas. I'm headed back to work on Wednesday! I feel like I could go back tomorrow but I'm afraid I will over do it. I guess it's going well for me. I have a lot to learn about head hunger versus what my body needs. I'm so afraid I will over do it and have a perforation! I also swallowed my pills today after I broke them up into smaller bites. Much better than crushing. Hope I don't regret it.
Oh and I lost 12 lbs as of today!

All is well

It's official I'm sleeved
