  1. Hey I was sleeved on December 11 an started out at 256, now at 201. Almost at my first goal of 199. I feel like I'm a slow loser but I'm okay with it. I don't really have an ultimate goal but my doctors goal for me is 160. Keep up the good work!
  2. I am 19 days post op and Im eating tuna, yogurts, eggs, any kind of soups, and of course shakes.
  3. Yayyy so happy for you!
  4. Congrats ???? I was sleeved on 12/11 and feels so good to have the surgery over and done with!
  5. I also had surgery on the 12/11 and was very nervous too. To be honest when I woke up I was still out of it. I would see and hear the nurses but wasn't able to speak. My throat was really sore from the breathing tube. The worst part for me, was that I was really nauseous due to the anesthesia. I would try to vomit and nothing would come up but the anesthesia doesn't sit well with me, so this might not happen to you. I was starting to feel a better that same evening but still very sore. And gas pains are real bad, so make sure to walk and walk as soon as you can even if it's at a turtle pace Good luck to you!
  6. I was sleeved on 12/11 and today I started full liquids. When I drunk a chocolate premier protien it gave me real bad dirrahea. I was fine drinking these before surgery, I hope my body justs needs time to adjust. I really dont know the full feeling and I havent been hungry at all. But just stay positive, we will get through this.
  7. I think you have made up your mind already and its the right choice for you. I was just sleeved on 12/11 and I chose the sleeve because like others, I did not like the fact of having a foregin object in my body and I just did not think I would lose the weight I needed with the lap band. Also I see a lot of people on here converting from lap band to sleeve due to erosion and slippage with the band. Good Luck to you on your new healthly journey
  8. I was sleeved on 12/11 and looking to connect with people in my area. Like in the Raleigh or Fayetteville area in NC. Are there any meet & greats in this area.
  9. Lucky you @@tera1982 I had surgery on 12/11 and I have to be on liquids for 2 more weeks before I get to pureed foods.
  10. I had surgury on Friday and every one of my incisons (I have 5) are bruised. But I have no staples just glue and on two incisions the glue is already gone.
  11. Congrats! Best wishes to you! I was sleeved on Friday! You will do fine. Just remember to walk and walk as soon as they let you. It will help with the gas pains.
  12. I'm on Day 2 of post op. This gas pain is no joke. I can't get comfortable to sleep but did manage to sleep 3 hours. I have a lot pain in the small incision on the right side, I had a hernia repaired that required stitches that I was unaware of going in to surgery. Right now I'm only worried about getting fluid in because I don't want to get dehydrated. Best wishes to everyone and I'm so thankful to have this site to come too ????
  13. Today is the day!!! Good luck to everyone today ????
  14. Good luck tomorrow, I have to be there at 10:40 for a 12:40 surgery time wished I was in the a.m
  15. I'm feeling nervous, scared, anxious and excited! ????????
  16. Yayyyy how exciting! Keep us posted. My surgery is this Friday
  17. My surgery is the 11th! I live in North Carolina! Im very excited and a little nervous ????
  18. I'm scheduled for the 11th too! I'm not really nervous now but very excited and so ready for it to get here!
  19. Today is day 2 of pre op diet, my surgery is scheduled for December 11th. I haven't cheated either and I'm not really hungry but I just want to eat all the things that I can't have! ???? When is your surgery?
  20. Thank you, I will try this
  21. I start my pre op diet tomorrow, so I am trying out the shakes today and it is too sweet. I had to buy the Bariatric Advantage products at the request of my surgeon, so I have the vanilla and chocolate powder mixes. My question is, is there anything besides more Water to make them not so sweet??? TIA
  22. Got my date today for December 11th! Nervous and excited ! ????
