I haven't felt pain. But you know what I have felt? Itchy. My skin around my tummy, and back of my legs are so itchy at night. I literally wake up in the middle of the night and lather up with lotion so it stops and I go back to bed. I don't know if it is dehydration, dry skin, or fat shrinking. lol
Just like your stomach itches when it is stretching and your getting fat, I wonder if it is the same thing the other way around.

185 this week. Thank you!

ALL.THE.TIME.
I order one steak taco, no shell, at my favorite restaurant.

I order one slider and remove the bun at the BBQ place.

I order a side of Beans and cheese when I am out for Mexican quite often.

I ask for two slices of cheese and two slices of lunchmeat all cut very thin at the deli counter.

My salad bar container at the grocery usually costs less than $1.25.

There is no shame in my game. I leave the Water cup I didn't ask for on the counter, and I usually ask for a take out box, too. To hell with anyone who doesn't like what I order. I didn't ask for their opinion anyways.

HI all! Today is exactly 9 Weeks since I had my sleeve surgery. I have read a lot of post on here pre and post surgery about people being so dishearten over the numbers on the scale when they weigh. I told myself back before my surgery that I was NOT going to fall victim to the stinking scale! That hellacious thing has a way of ruining a persons whole day/week. Now I know some people can weigh everyday and whatever number pops up they can live with but I know me, I know my past, and I know how many times that Sucker has knocked the wind out of my sails and made me feel defeated. NOT this time honey! So what I did do with my daughter help (Partly to make sure I couldn't fudge on the numbers later) was measured every part of my body. Today is the first time we got the measuring tape out and revisited those numbers and I have to say I am astonished! These inches I have lost so far, far surpasses the feeling I got from any scale number! People are always asking me for recommendations of what they should do and my advice is to take your measurements because you can almost bet when that scale isn't moving but your following orders your probably still losing inches. I'm a open book so I will share my numbers with you...
Under bust - 3inches
Smallest part of waist -4 inches
Natural waist -6 inches
Buttock, booty, lovely lady lumps -10 inches!!!!! Yes -10 inches!! Crazy!!(Don't fret there's plenty more where that came from)
Upper arm -3inches
Thighs -6 inches (loving this)
Calves-1 1/2 inches.
Such a long way to go but I am so incredibly grateful for my sleeve and the help it has given me to finally be succeeding at something I've wanted for so long! Hey does this count as a NSV?? ( ps: I do weigh myself but only bi-weekly if I feel like it:)

I don't think any man has ever cracked the code to us ladies. Sorry guys I try not to post but I do read the stuff. Some things need our comments.

ok I just now learned how to tell what "forum" I'm in! I always read the "recent topics" and just reply to them. I was unaware that in tiny writing at the top of the page AFTER you click on the topic it tells you where the topic is. So there for I have been posting in the forbidden "men's room" unknowingly God only knows how many times....so sorry to have invaded the man room! It was not my intentions to prance around your manly room! Please forgive me!! To make up for it I'm doing some public shaming to myself(AKA:apologizing) ! Thanks...BRO's ; )-

Usually like to night my husband is going thru a drive thru (Taco Bell) I got nothing. I will make my own food here at the house so I know whats going into my body. Yesterday was my 16 yr old daughters birthday so I took the family to cheddars (the home of nothing healthy) waitress asked what I wanted I told her nothing. I would share off my family's plate. She brought me a small plate and I Ate a few bites of my girls grilled chicken and a couple mushrooms. I've decided it's pointless to buy food out because I can't eat it. We went to Hardee's and I ordered a turkey burger wrapped in lettuce instead of bread But could only manage 3 bites so as of now I'm done ordering myself food out! Too much wasting. If Soup were an option I'd go somewhere that offered a healthy soup.

McDonald's sales have been dropping for months now and I'm pretty sure I'm responsible. Lol

Gets better everyday and a lot better after the first week. I also am glad to hear about everyone's liquid intake as I am 10 days out too and can only get about 40 oz and have been worried about it.
