Heyyyy everyone! Newbie here...from upstate NY...recently sleeved on 10/26/15!

Thank u everyone. I hope that the gurgling does go awat. It's extremely uncomfortable and makes me not want to eat or drink anything!

Yes! I know what u mean! ????

I have a tremendous fear of regaining the weight that I've lost. I was going through some recent pictures of the 3 family members of mine that have had WLS. Two had Gastric bypass and the (blonde pink shirt) had sleeve surgery 6 months before I did. All have regained weight, they don't look like they even had surgery. None of them ever reached any goal. These are current post (last week). The part that aggravates me is the excuses they come up with and the comments about how I'm just "lucky" that I lost so "easily". I see all the food post. It's not my place to call them out on the food they are eating. Seeing this can be discouraging at times but most of the time it makes me want to do anything possible NOT to end up like that. Maybe I'm wrong for using them as my motivation to succeed but it does scare me. I never know what to say when the remarks come in about how well I've done and all my so called "luck". What do you do?! I keep these pictures as my reminder of what can/will happen if I don't stick with my plan. Which just helped me stop at 6 1/2 Cheetos! Of course I've blocked all identity from the pictures for their privacy. Its not "luck" it's a constant "just say NO!" Attitude I have to food. It's not easy, it's never going to be easy. That's my reality. It's just a tool nothing more and nothing less.

Random question. ..how the heck was she able to eat all that food with a sleeve (girl in the pink)?

Hello, I'm new here. I was sleeved on 11/10, so I'm VERY newly post-op. The first couple of days have been up and down, but I'm feeling good. I am 25 from Chicago. I am looking for people my age who have been sleeved and are going through the life changes that come with everything. Add me as a friend or message me. I look forward to meeting you all!

Hello all! I'm kisha...25 yrs old..just had a sleeve 10/26...down about 28 pounds. Anyway just had a couple of questions for the experienced sleevers out there ????

So I'm wondering how long the gurgling and tightness of chest will happen. I'm currently in the puree and stage and only eating what the doctor has told me to (even though it's been extremely difficult ) and after one bite I get LOUD gurgling and my chest feels tight. It sucks to eat ????..it makes me sad at times.and I sometimes regret my decision. .but thankfully every day gets better (as far as emotions are concerned) sometimes I think I got this surgery too young...but anyways..does this uncomfortable feeling with eating food go away with time? Will I eventually be able to eat without experiencing this?

Also...when were you guys able to eat 1 cup of food comfortably? Thanks in advance for your time.

Hey everyone. ..25 years old and sleeved on 10/26 ????

Hello! I had my surgery on 10/26 and had my one week follow up on 11/3..they told me I was down 15 pounds. I do walk everyday around my block..not fast or anything. ..just a light walk. The colace does work...but it may take a while to work...it took me a couple days after getting out the hospital to have a BM. I haven't had any medical issues ( thank goodness ) but I have been more emotional than usual. .but I know that will get better with time. Good luck!

Hi Kisha, how are you doing since your surgery? I am looking forward to joining the club, lol.

Heyyyy everyone! Newbie here...from upstate NY...recently sleeved on 10/26/15!

Thank you for this post! I was recently sleeved on 10/26/15 and my emotions are all over the place. I cried today. The change is so drastic and so fast. I've talked to several people who are months and years out and they assure me that it's normal to feel that way. I second guessed my decision every since I got out of surgery. I'm 25..am I doing this too young? Will I have health complications? A year from now will I b able to have a donut without being condemned? Lol

Right now we are grieving a loss and that can be rough. I hope days will get better...no .I know days will get better. And we will look back at this and laugh. Good luck!
