You're exactly right. I'm thinking it's not that I want a cheeseburger... It's that I can't have it which makes me want it... I have also been craving extremely healthy things. I've always been a fruit and veggie eater rather than chips and pizza or something. Just two years ago I was 194 lbs. In the time since then I've been stressed, pregnant, and lazy. Put on 100 lbs from it. I just want so badly to be back to where I was. And I think part of my regret is just thinking too hard into the future. "Will I ever drink my favorite wine again?" I just permanently restricted myself for life on a lot of things.

Any tips or advice bc wow!!!

You seriously look amazing!!! I was that exact weight when I started my pre op diet. Now I'm one week post op and 275. Hopefully I get to my goal of 160! Inspired. Thanks for sharing!!

I hate the pain! It's evil! But at least for the most part it happens rather quick before you really overdo it! I am most excited for when I don't get pain in my chest from drinking water...

You look amazing! Congratulations!

I'm one week out. But I've been in pureed stage since day 3.. weird

Right, this is the worst stage in my opinion. I'd rather just drink water

Really? 8wks can hurry up then!! I hate feeling thirsty lol

So I'm 6 days out and all I wanna do is CHUG water. I feel like I'm so thirsty all the time. Has anyone had a problem with drinking too much too fast?

Thank you, were you able to drink a lot? You know how sometimes in the middle of the night you wake up with the urge to just CHUG water?? That's me every night!! I love water. Especially hint water, I've been addicted.. really wanna just knock it back lol

4 hours???? Wow that's a long time!! Mine was 45 mins

I won't do the smooth move tea bc I've tried it pre operatively and got sick. Mineral oil finally did the trick for me!

Wondering how many people had a safe normal pregnancy after surgery. I know I have to wait a year to get pregnant, but it still makes me nervous. My little guy is 1 and a half so I'm not by any means in a rush lol! Just want to know what it's like for sleevers!! I drank probably 3 gallons of milk a week and ate cereal at 3am almost every night while pregnant with my first.... That's what my body craved!! Now I know I won't be able to do THAT the next time around!!

Yeah I guess you're right, i just don't wanna fall Off the wagon lol

Awesome! Glad to hear it! I am only 24, I DEFINITELY wanna have another kid!

Thanks everyone! The carbs don't make me feel guilty either bc of the amount we eat daily. I'm sure missing potato chips tho!!! Kept craving those yesterday.

Has anyone tried cream of wheat in their pureed diet?? Thoughts?

Hey great idea! I was just gonna add cinnamon lol!

They make powerade zero drops... They are yummy!! And decaf iced tea has been my BEST friend... Especially considering the first few days I refused anything but water bc I was SO nauseated. Just 6 days out I stocked up on plain Greek yogurt, soups to strain, pb2, decaf tea, hint water(amazing) propel water, sf jello, and lots of flavor packets for my water. It's so important to drink your fluids!!!! Good luck!!! Oh, and I stocked up on stevia too!

Well at least you're not in pain. I had an xray to make sure I didn't have anything foreign or torn in my lower belly. That's how bad it hurt me I got my sleeve the day after you, i literally have NO pain in my pouch OR my incisions which is good. But the pain from the constipation is enough to make me feel like I'm dying! Yuckkk

Yeah it really does suck to have to deal with this.. I had better luck today but that was after trying literally everything humanly possible! Hope you have better luck in the coming weeks!

Yeah I didn't even think that it could be constipation bc I figured it would be different.. but..... The pain is not ignoreable... It's like tearing stabbing exploding pain

My surgeon was off for the holiday and the office was closed. I ended up in the er at 4am

It's incredibly painful. I was in so much pain I had to have xrays taken to make sure there wasn't anything actually wrong with my insides. Feels like you're being stabbed...to say the absolute least... ???? still haven't gone. Will have to try something else

Same here, girlfriend. ????????????
