Hey everybody! I had a lot of catching up to do too. Right now I am trying to find my balance. Starting tomorrow I can have oatmeal, cream of wheat and baked sweet potato!! I'm super excited for the change in food because lately it's been hard. I'm trying to keep positive and know that each day will get better but it's difficult when all I knew was food. Living in The New Orleans area all I know is food, good food...it's been a struggle and the struggle is in my head because I don't be hungry. My stomach makes sounds when I drink, lol that just popped in my head so I wrote it lol but anyway tomorrow I'll be two weeks out. Did anyone else have these struggles? I need advice, I need motivation and I need to know that it will get better.
I'm not on Facebook and I love it here so please don't forget about us non face bookers.
Much love
Tamicia

First of all Good for you girl! Your doing great. I'm a new loser but fear I will soon be dealing with some of the same issues you are having. I was thinking of looking into therapy for myself. I believe in outside opinions. Maybe support groups. These boards are great for helping us feal understood and not alone. I wish u the best and I am so proud of how brave you are to make this change. In no way is this "the easy way out".

So, I was sleeved October 8, 2014. Two days in the hospital and I am now 11 days post op. Doing pretty well right now ... On soft foods and fluids. My sleeve hates bananas, but boy does it love pudding, baked potatoes and applesauce. Weight loss since surgery 12 pounds. Total: 21 pounds. Only thing I hate so far is sipping. When will I be able to drink normally again. Now your turn. Please share your story.

Just got my date today, 10/8. Super excited!

here come all the "I regret not doing it sooner" posts..... I am one of them. I am not even 5 weeks out. I feel great. lost over 40lbs so far. first fews weeks can be tough, but it gets better. cowgirljane sums it up nicely.
