  1. So the counselor and dietician warned me about the possibility of my moods being affected by this kind of weight loss and how rapidly its happening. I can't seem to get my thumb on it tho, did anyone else have this issue. I'm trying to decide whether its my normal moody nature or if its being amplified by this process. Thoughts anyone? Also, I'm beginning to see how my body is changing and as a woman, I want to be healthy but also maintain that feminine shape and figure. I essentially want to keep my exact shape and shrink it to a healthy weight. I still want boobs and supple thighs and all of that sooo to all my ladies out there with hips and thighs and butts, did you find you were still curvy once all of the weight dropped off?

  4. Back again, with a random inquiry... I'm 5 days out. Did anyone try actual foods this soon after surgery, like mashed potatoes or Soup or Beans, soft things, making sure to over chew...Or did you find i t was too painful or make you nauseous or whatever various side effect? I'd like hear horror stories of this action gone wrong or those who tried it with relatively no adverse side effect.
  5. Let me preface this by saying, I knew this whole process would be no walk in the park...thats a given. However even in the hospital, I don't remember feeling so unsteady on my feet and just faint overall. When I'm attempting to get in my Protein shakes every time I swallow it slams into my stomach but not before causing an esophageal spasm...that pain in and of itself is enough to prevent you even attempting to get your liquids down. Lets now couple that with the light headedness... its basically the most awesome feeling in life(shakes head no emphatically). Please tell me that A) this isn't permanent and B. I'm not a lone wolf
  6. I was sleeved on 03/25/2014 I haven't experienced any hiccups, but the pain the back and chest is for sure gas. Its the most uncomfortable feeling, because it almost prevents you from breathing deeply. Simethicone or gasx works but the walking though painful gets it moving as well.
