Your straw story: 5 days post op, just discovered straw dies work for me
I was told its because you swallow more air with the straw and that stretches your stomach out. But they also said if you bite the end of the straw while you are sucking on it its fine

New to this site. Sleeve on 3/20/15. Hit a STALL!
I was sleeved on 4/28. I lost 28 pounds in 2 weeks and now nothing for 2 weeks. It is very frustrating I agree. I'm hoping to get past this stall soon and you will too. Good luck to you

What made you finally want Weight Loss Surgery?
For me it was when I decided I couldn't live this way anymore. I started going to the gym and with the help of meds healthy eating and exercise habits I lost 90 pounds. But then it stopped coming off so u went back to the doctor to get put back on the medication to help my metabolism. Instead I go diagnosed with 2 heart conditions. My weight was starting to creep back up and nothing I did helped. So I started this journey. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and I've lost 28 pounds. However I have stalled and lost nothing in 2 weeks. I know its part of the process and I can't wait to get going again.

Craving Solutions
I found s bunch of recipes on Pinterest. One that I have made is a protein packed cheesecake. I added extra protein powder and put it in an ice cube tray. So when I'm having a craving for something sweet I pull one out of the freezer. Its pretty good and cures my sweet tooth especially if I drizzle some sf caramel syrup on it

Hi. My name is verda. I had the sleeve on 4/28. I live in grand junction Colorado. I lost 27 pounds in the first 9 days. And nothing since, its very frustrating but I guess its part of the process. I look forward to this journey and hope to meet some people who are on the same journey in hopes to get ideas and support from and to share with them. I look forward to hearing others stories.
