Same mission here I lost a total of 70 gained back 8 pounds. I'm going to the page. We can do this. Sent from my SM-N910T using BariatricPal mobile app

For me it was yesterday my husband took me out shopping for my birthday and I tried on a size 8 pants and it fit me. I did the happy dance can't remember when I was able to do fit in a size 8. Also I just realized that I am a short in pants I was,never able to fit in short size pants I always got regular or long. This was the best bday gift I gave my self doing the sleeve. :-)

Sending good vibes and prayers for you and your wife.

@@Queen P looking at your figures it's exactly like my story can't wait to be were you are at. Thank you for sharing. You look awesome. :-)

I tell them the big secret is having lots of fire works moments with the hubby lol

I can assure you it feels wonderful to sit and be able to cross your legs I just noticed it yesterday when I went to sit down in the couch and I crossed my legs with no problem. :-)

Hang in there it will get better i had my done 2 weeks ago and I felt the same way but it will pass just think about how good you will feel once the weight comes off. That is my motivation right now not feeling knee pain as much and having more energy for my two kids.

My doc said yesterday that he was expecting 8 to 10 pounds per month for me. It's great that you are loosing 14 keep up the good work.

I am going to 2 weeks this Thursday from my surgery. I am currently on puree stage. My question is as follows I have my meals and stop when I start to get the hip cup it's a sign that I am full but two hours go by and my stomachache is growling and it hurts as soon as I eat something it stops my pain goes away and my stomach stops growling. Sorry for the long post but does happen to anyone else? Thanks in advance for your input.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to remove my staples I will ask the doc maybe it's acid reflux. Thank you @@atontor I will go buy the containers and thank you @@kimby1029 .

This is my diet to follow

I really don't know in ounces I should start to measure like in my diet I can have scrambled eggs I do one egg but I have 3 teaspoons and I'm done.

@@maryluu I am at puree stage I'm doing mostly soups ,scrambled eggs, yougurt, sugar free chocolate pudding just to get the craving away, skim milk and water. I'm still trying to get use the portion. I feel full but two hours go by my stomachs starts to growling something new to me lol. I drink water and it stops. Yesterday for the first time I tried a slice of cheese with a slice of turkey and it went down well. So that will be my new snack. :-)

Hi @@maryluu mine was done June 11 hope your sipping is much better now. I had same problem during first fee days. Now it's getting better and not as hard.

You have joined the right group everyone here is very supportive and have nothing but postive messages.

Hello everyone my nickname is Liz. I am a mom to two beautiful little munchkins a little girl who is turning 5 in July and a baby boy who is 1. I am also a wife to a great man this august it will be 20 yrs time has sure flyed. I feel like I have been on a diet since I was 7 years old. I'm now 38yrs and I finally made the major decision to have the sleeve to get my life back for my kids and husband. I kept seeing how my husband would run after my baby girl and I couldn't and now that we have another toddler I need to be able to bend down without having pain and be able to run after my kids if they are in trouble. I started this journey with my sleeve and from now on only positive thoughts so I can get thru this first phase. Let me see what else I'm trying to finish my prereq so I can get into the Masters program for PA. I'm happy I've joined this group because all is postive and encouraging exactly what I needed.

I am on the same boat I had my sleeve done on June 11 I'm now on the puree stage and it's really hard especially during theses holidays and when my older kids order pizza I just eat my soup and drink my water. I just went to jewel and got some your and some chocolate pudding low calorie just to take the edge away from craving chocolate. I'm reading all the message on they say it gets better as time goes by but it's hard and I start to think about how much I've waited for this and waiting to see my results that is why it seems a little better. I'm so glad that I am not the only one in this phase. Thank you for asking this question.
