I struggle too with trying to still eat to fast, but my sleeve kindly lets me know that it does not like it. But overall doing very well. 25 pounds down today, surgery was the 8/25. I had a 5 day stall last week. That was tough, but the scale seems to be moving again.

I have this problem too. Still trying to teach myself to slow down and chew....

August 25th for me. Down 23 pounds. Really no pain except if I eat too fast. On soft foods. My favorite recipe is Ricotta cheese bake (ricotta mixed with egg, seasonings and parm cheese and topped with marinara and baked) No complaints so far.

25 minutes.

I am 6 days post-op from VSG. I have had a great experience so far. The surgery and recovery were really unremarkable. Some pain from the gas and bloating the first evening, but by the next day I was much better. I had some leg cramping for a couple of days but some gatorade g2 fixed that right up and I have had some nausea, but nothing that Zofran has not been able to handle. The diet has been very bearable since I am not really hungry at all. I am back at work today full-time and feeling good. I am down 14 pounds so far. I am really still in shock that I finally had the surgery that I have been praying about for several years now. It feels like a dream come true. Can't wait to see how my body changes over this next few months and years and can't wait to experience things I have been putting off because of my weight. Feeling determined.

I am having bad leg cramps 4 days post op. I took a potassium supplement and will try to drink some more today. Hoping these go away so i can get some sleep.

Was sleeved yesterday at 2pm. So far so good. I have some abdominal pain and nausea, but it is all manageable so far. I have been getting up to walk around every few hours. How are other August 25thers doing!

Me....getting nervous and excited. Bad headache right now.

Thank you everyone. Getting nervous and excited.

I am getting nervous and excited.

Great. Keep me posted.

Yes, I feel so much better since I finally surrendered to wearing the machine. I do have the adjustable respironics machine and I use the nasal pillow mask (which is the first one I have been able to tolerate). A couple of suggestions that worked for me are that I use nose spray (flonase) each night before I put on the mask and I take 2 benadryl. When I first got the machine I actually would take a xanex at night because it made me so anxious. But I don't need that anymore I only use the nose spray and flonase. I sleep like a baby. I hope this helps.

I am in Louisiana. Dr. Hargroder is my diet. How was your surgery?

I got my surgery date, August 25th. I can't wait to start my new journey.
