I know you have been through so much. But when you think back - - - would you ever think someone would tell you not to lose another lb. LOL I hope I get to that point. Just kidding but lol

I'm new to myfitnesspal.com and in the nutrition area it shows a chart of the percentage of carbs, Protein and fat intake per day -- I see that my goals say 50% carbs, 30% fat and 20% protein ---- but should those percentages be different for those of us who have been sleeved??

You look fantastic. Good for you.

You will do fine. I had a friend bring me home. They stayed for a little while then left. Just make sure you have Water beside where you will be. Do the dogs go out on their own or you walk them. Walking is good but don't over do it the first couple days or have them pull you.

i've had my CPAP for about 7 years and have been put under 2x since then. absolutely no worries, someone is watching you all the time and you are safer than when you go to sleep at night.

I am so happy for you. You did a great job documenting your results.

You should be so proud. You look amazing.

Surgery went well .. no complications
We are starting a new beginning starting today

It was recommended to me on here to try Water over ice post op and it definitely helped me get more fluids in. I still prefer ice water, it settles much better for me. It's been a challenge to drink enough when I'm at work or out and about but I found this awesome thermos by Hydroflask.
It was 30 bucks but so worth it. It keeps ice all day and doesn't sweat so I can easily carry it around.

How are you feeling? I assume you are home by now. I hope all is well.

This made me happy happy to see.
ME: day of surgery vs current
I still have some work to do, but this makes me feel amazing!!!

Fantastic You look great

I am down 50 pounds and many clothing sizes since March 4th surgery - no longer diabetic and off blood pressure medication. I feel fabulous and have so much energy!
Visited my grandsons last week in Florida and was the "nanny" for 4 days. We stayed in a hotel most of the time and while it was a little challenging food-wise, the room had a fridge so I stocked up on cheese sticks, hummus, bottled Water, Greek yogurt, etc. Breakfast was included but I stuck to my fat free plain Greek yogurt and added a little honey and almonds (courtesy of the hotel). I ran around with the children for four days and never got tired. No seat belt extender on the plane, walking was no effort - in fact I enjoyed it because it was exercise, I was able to cross my legs on the plane, etc. EVERYTHING was EFFORTLESS....................for the first time in forever I actually enjoyed the flights and everything.
I just cannot believe this new, glorious life...........................SO GOOD!

This is before my sleeve and July. I was sleeved 4/7.

It is better to know these things now and when it's too late. I'm sure you really didn't want to hear that news but if you think about it it could be saving your life. Hang in there this too will pass. Good luck.

You will be fine. I can understand the concern. I was a lucky one and the surgary was not bad at all. I felt almost like normal by 2 1/2 week. Mainly the food portions will be changed. I know before I had surgery I had all the same emotions. Excited scared. I have not had wine yet. My dr wants me to hold off for at least 6 months or longer. Hang in there. This is a great tool.

Cindy asked so love your videos. You will do great.

You will do great. It was near as bad as I thought it would be. Just remember to walk. My Dr had me pumped with nausea meds, gas meds and pain meds. I was actually great by the 2nd or 3rd day. Remember this is the easy part.

I loved this. So true.

Do not worry about the weight. When I came home from the hospital I weighed and I had gained 10 pounds. It is from the Fluid they give you while in the hospital. Yes I did have loose stool also. Just keep a watch on that so you do not get dehydrated. You will be fine hang in there. Best of luck to you.
