    Your period. Help please!

    False alarm I got it today. But I've never experiance cramps before and now I feel like my uterus is just pissed off at me!
  2. So I was sleeved 10/30 that same day after I woke up and went to the bathroom I got my period. Now my period always comes at the end on the month. And also I'm known to having iregular periods but not this month. So I haven't gotten it yet and tomorrow's a new month! did any of your periods return to normal or was your system changed because of surgery?
  3. First off it'll be ok I promise. You'll have some pain but just do as much walking as you can. Walk and get up on your own. If they offer you pain meds at the hospital you take them all lol. Second don't worry so much about getting enough protein and water it'll be fine its really not that hard once you get the hang of it. If you feel full then stop drinking or eating don't over do it TRUST me I've over done it at least twice and it is not a fun feeling it's the worst pain ever. It'll be fine worry about these things once your there right now just be excited for this life changing experiance!

    Isopure problems?

    I think maybe. Because like I said in the post I also Had a mango (the fruit not the drink flavor) and that ran right through me. But I also don't think so because I made cookies and I ate a piece (oops) and I was fine.

    Isopure problems?

    Maybe that's why. I drink water fast and have zero pain or anything so I took Isopure like water. I drank it in a span of 10 minutes (half and then 30 minutes passed and drank the rest.)

    Isopure problems?

    Not sure I just see them all over instagram and wanted to try it. I'll probably try again and see how it goes.

    New and Excited

    Honey! I'm at 30+ pounds lost and I feel amazing I don't feel so bloated and I don't feel like I only see my stomach. Yeah I have my moments but I'm happy people saying wow you look amazing and also the only thing I miss about being bigger is just stuffing my face and eating what I want.
  9. I was big my whole life but nothing where I was obese but after jumping 3 different colleges and being in a comfortable 5 year relationship I just let myself go I basically lied to myself and said eff it hell love me no matter what size and he does but I was suffering through depression for 6 months and I finally had it and said I need to save my life and love myself.

    Hi! I'm Ariadna and I was sleeved October 30. This has been the hardest journey EVER. you don't realize how much food surrounds your mind until you get sleeved. I'm a baker and it makes it that much harder because sometimes I do have to taste batchs of certain things and spitting it out is so hard. I miss not being able to make a quick sandwich on the go I constintly have to meal prep and sometimes I just want to not bother. My biggest issue right now is everyone says I look so amazing but I just don't see it I still feel 259lbs (im 224lbs now) I'm not going to lie this journey has its really bad moments and you'll cry and get upset but when you see the scale going down and you being able to walk without getting tired and your knees not hurting so much you'll see its all worth it! I'm not trying to scare you away but it's worth all the tears!

    Need motivating....

    Put you first! I know this is easier said for me because I don't have kids. But really you need a second for yourself. Even if you can walk up and down some stairs when your kids go to sleep or nap. Do you have help? Use it abuse it if you can. YOU CAN DO IT! I'm a strong beliver in if you belive it it'll happen. Only posativity!
  12. I'm not a pro so I'm going by my sleeve but that happened to me when I started eating eggs and it was just that I ate too much super fast

    Bloating?

    I haven't been constipated I went today. It's just an awful feeling like a roller coaster because I was on cloud 9 with my new found flatness of belly haha. And now I'm dirt. Ugh is this the emotional part of the journey. I'm only 4 weeks out!

    What to take and day of?

    I took my iPad pj's and slippers and ended using nothing but my phone charger and tooth brush. I didn't want to do anything but watch TV walk around and sleep. Rule of thumb don't over pack.
  15. I need a buddy to tell me to go to the gym lol. Me changing my body isn't enough anymore I need a huge inspiration jump that'll get me to tell my self get your ass to the gym.

    Buddy to motivate me

    Yeah 10/30 was my surgery I remember just wanting to go lift weights and I still do I want to start so bad but the idea of getting up getting changed and doing it isn't really clicking and making me get up! I was thinking of water aerobics but it's freezing where I live and although my gym has an inside pool ever since surgery I get really cold really fast so I don't think I can handle it. I also have been telling myself to go straight after work but that hasn't happened yet.

    Cravings

    My relationship is exactly the same. I kind of feel like a drug addict because post op well lay in bed watching netflix and I'm thinking about the snack I can have.. instead I chug as much watch as I can to fill my void. It's tuff and to have a partner that is willing to help makes it that much better =)

    Scar creams

    Which one is the best. I can't decide!
  22. Okay so basically I feel like I am 100% ready for soft food stage. Now on thanksgiving I will be 4 weeks post op so I feel like . Maybe I'm just saying that so I can eat some turkey lol. But obviously no breads or Pasta or stuff. Are all the stages different for everyone? My soft food stage is on week 5.
