What a wonderful and inspirational story. Thank you for sharing and you look FABULOUS!!

There is no way to hide this from people closest to you. Your eating is going to change dramatically you have no idea! I told only the people who are closest to me. I didn't want to have to make up lies. It is literally only 6 people who know and I threatened them all not to say a word to anyone.

Stunning!!! Congrats!

Are you drinking your fluids? If more solid food is tough for you right now try going back to protein shakes. Also could you be backed up? Constipation can slow things down even cause weight gain. I also would recommend shortening your walks but making them more frequently like 4 days a week!

That happens to me when I eat or drink too fast. I also find everyday is different. Some days I am so hungry and feel I can't stop eating (I am on fluids, protein shakes, yogurt, sf pudding and strained cream soups) and some days I have to force myself to eat.

My surgery was 3/26 and I'm feeling good. Water has been the hardest thing for me but that seems to be getting better. Last I weighed I am down 13lbs since surgery.

Hi I'm 36 as well just got sleeved 1 week ago! Have you had the surgery yet?

I have sugar free muscle milk 30g protein I add a scoop of protein powder and some plain Greek yogurt. I drink about 6oz at a time but it's packed with protein and tastes great!

Cover your scars! Any tanning will make scaring worse! I am a tanning person too it's my addiction in the summer. You just really don't want those scars to get worse baby them and eventually they may not exist!

Yup!!!

Yes I think 2000 is way too much in calorie intake. Also your meals should be mostly made up of protein! Try to stay away from carbs. Do you have a nutritionist you am call?

Empty stomach can do that too! Try having something very plain.

Wow that's awesome Flamingo yesterday I got about 8oz total in protein shake. Maybe 2oz of cream soup, 2oz of pudding. I am really just not hungry and eating feels like such a chore but everyday gets better. Gas pain comes and goes but is def tolerable. Just learning the sleeve how slow I have to drink. Incision sites don't hurt much. Gas pain seems to be worse at night when I'm lying down for a ling period of time.

How are all my March 26 sleeve sisters doing? Each day for my seems to be getting better. Fluids have been the hardest for me but are getting better. Had pain seems to come and go! I never really feel like eating I have to force myself.

Thanks Denise!! Feeling good went for a walk around the lake today and felt good! Still struggling with the fluids, protein drinks go down a bit better and can get 4oz down at a sitting. Thank God for sugar free Popsicles!
