God it's like all of you are telling my story!!! I'm down 55 since my journey started dec 3. surgery was dec 17 and have lost 38 since then. but the past 3 weeks I've been stuck around the same 6 pounds. have been losing slowly and it's killing me! well all get there.. slowly but surely. but it is nice to know that others are feeling the same. I don't want to be a sleeve failure

just like yourself, I was a nervous wreck about being put under. shockingly enough, I remained amazingly calm. they didn't give me any sedatives via iv before the mask. as they were strapping my arms down to the table the anesthesiologist was talking to me, put the mask on my face and that's all I remember! no telling me to count, no telling me to breathe deeply. nothing!! don't even remember blacking out like you do with propofol (for endoscopy) you'll be fine. had some nausea but got the kitchen sink of antinausea meds and was fine in 5 min

lol yea it's gross. but we all go through it. the key thing is "liquids in liquids out". I started to go a little more normal when I transitioned to puréed foods but honestly, for the love of god, don't trust your fluffies for the first couple weeks. always be close to a bathroom!

in the beginning (until I learned how big 3-4 oz looks) I used toddler plates and utensils. also, as someone else mentioned, the small gladware containers are 4oz. they're perfect for measuring 4 oz or for using them for pudding, yogurt, etc. you will very quickly learn to eyeball what 4 oz looks like. I still use my scale for every single meal just to be sure, but definitely invest in a food scale also

I'm gonna be 32 in April and wish I had it done in my early 20s. been struggling with weight since like the 2nd grade. I was finally sleeved on 12/17 with a loss of 55 lbs to date! congrats and good luck on your journey. if you need to talk you can always send me a message (:

no bubbles for me either..even though I'd sacrifice a toe for some seltzer every now and then lol but definitely not worth the risk! apparently I hear it can be very painful too..

sleeved 12/17 hw: 293.5 sw: 277.5 cw: 239.0 gw: 145 I thought I was losing slowly but 54 lbs in 3 months is pretty damn good to me! keep up the good work everyone ????
