Awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing! My SW 297 and my CW 246...51 pounds down at 9 weeks and I am really REALLY hoping and trying and working and praying to be in onederland by the end of this year. You have proven that my goal is attainable thank you thank you!!

I started at 6-7 weeks I think...went smoothly. I have had no problems with anything though.

I think my favorite thing during the purée stage was malt o meal or different Canned soups put through the bleeder. Also unsweetened applesauce, sugar free pudding, sugar free fudgcicles, low fat Greek yogurts. If you have a food processor you can purée practically anything though

Hey everyone! I was sleeved June 2nd and have lost 40 pounds so far! I caught myself starting to eat a lot of high carb foods and snacking when my hubby snacks this week and really need to get back on track! I turn 30 in sept and plan on being out of my size 20s before I'm out of my 20s decade! In response to the current topic, I told my family and a few close friends and coworkers I thought I could trust. One of them took it upon herself to tell practically everyone we know which really upset me. My personal journey is just that, MINE. You gotta do what is comfortable to you but make sure you are clear with the people you do tell what the level of secrecy you are trying to maintain is

Hey fellow sleevers! I am four weeks out and feeling great buuuuut I haven't been able to sleep at night for maybe three weeks. Anyone having trouble sleeping too??

I had headaches/migraines for three days after kicking soda to the curb. I went from 2-3 diet cokes a day to 0 so my body was pretty confused. That was two weeks before surgery though. I'm 20 days post-op and still get headaches sometimes but it is because I'm not drinking enough water. Little sips throughout the day are hard for me to remember. I'm so used to just chugging a big glass whenever I get feel thirsty.

I wish I had done it sooner too!! I can't believe how much I used to eat! For example, if I couldn't desire between a burger and chicken strips, I would get both! Both! It seems insane...well because it was! I'm so so happy eating the way I am now. There's no shame or regret after meals

Isopure from GNC is what my NUT suggested. It's a protein drink that resembles Gatorade in colors. Everyone at my local support group loves it but my hubby and I both thought it was gross but I still was able to get down a few ounces each day for the first week. The protein shake they served me in the hospital hours after surgery was Optisource. It is not "clear" but it is non-dairy and can be found at Walgreens online accordion to my NUT

Yea that's a big reason. I'm an emo eater from way back lol And I'm done with that so yea time to put me first for a change

Hi camper! I was also sleeved June 2nd and feeling great for the most part. My incisions are itchy but healing skin always is. My abdominal muscles are still a little sore and I am kinda over this liquid diet lol. Mushies start the 16th yay!! I've lost 25 lbs since starting two week pre-op diet!!! My pants almost fell off at my little Bro's hockey game like 6 times! I'm excited but kinda sad that I have to get rid of clothes...I freakin love clothes lol

I was sleeved June 2nd and totally cheated on two week pre op diet by eating dinner each night and one night of drinking half way through for my bff's bday. I talked to my surgeon's RN about it before surgery and she said not to stress about it and just do whatever I can. I was still losing weight and consequently shrinking my liver(which is the whole point) and managed to get my BMI under 50. My surgery and recovery went fine and doc had no complaints about my liver size.

I feel the same way sometimes! I was sleeved June 2nd and haven't been sick once! I did feel nauseous the first week every now and then but I took a zofran and drank some water and I was fine.

1. I won't miss people giving me that "eww" look that I feel like they give me 2. I can't wait to go to six flags and ride a roller coaster again!! I haven't been since high school because I'm afraid I won't fit

When I was doing the 6 months of prep we did discuss his insecurities about me getting skinny and cheating on him. We...or at least I did not consider that with more confidence would come higher expectations for how I am treated. That makes sense and is kind of exciting and scary. I think it's one of those things that can make or break a relationship and I have only considered positive changes for us up until now. I'm confident we have what it takes though...as long as we are both willing to adapt and compromise

Moonlite - Ok I just typed a big long response that vanished :-/ Anyway, the gist of it was I am definitely going to talk to my husband and make sure he understands what I need and expect from him. I'm typically a bottle it up to avoid confrontation type but you are right, this is my life and my health we are talking about here and my husband and I need to be on the same page.
