M&S

Stalls are common, true sleeve failure is rare. Often when people say their sleeved failed, they did not follow the program. These are the one who ate around their sleeve, ate the wrong thing or gave into head hunger. You often see post from them along the lines of "I don't eat all my Protein.", "I cheated a little here and there.", "I don't get in all my fluids." The sleeve is a tool designed to make losing easier, but you are still responsible for putting int the work. . Thanks. I was thinking id it failed, maybe the reasons were how you treated it type of thing. So far so good with me personally ????

I think once again you're taking things personally. Wasn't intended that way in the least. I'm glad you don't like the thought of failing is what I meant. I'm two weeks out and have read there are people who feel like the surgery didn't work for them. So far my surgery and my willingness to follow my diet and exercise plan as worked out pretty well. I just stepped on the scales and from the day before surgery to now I'm down right at 15 pounds. This is in response to my "glad you don't like it" comment.

Is it because they could cause excess gas? I love and miss straws too

After reading here and there from other sleevers, I was asking if it were as common as it appears. Trying to prepare myself. I'm two weeks out and down about 13 pounds. Walking a lot and starting with puréed foods now.

. Glad you don't like it

Has anyone felt like maybe their surgery didn't work? I'm only two weeks out, but I have heard a lot of sleevers start to worry it didn't "work". I'm wondering if it's because they hit a stall with their weight loss. When does that usually happen?

Make sure you aren't running a temp. I know what you mean about the unexplained sadness. I found a music list on iTunes (YouTube too I think) that's set for exercising. They are several for walking and they state how many beats per minute so you can stagger the songs for warming up and cooling down. Very spiritual music and uplifting. Walking will hep produce the endorphins we all need as well. Sending positive vibes your way. Feel free to message me any time

What are some of the things you were eating after you had the first two weeks behind you? Is low fat mayo ok to add to tuna?

I found some frozen Greek yogurt at the grocery store today. Adding skin or almond milk and protein powder would qualify as a protein shake wouldn't it? I'm on day 10 post op and will be starting protein shakes on day 14. How much do you drink at once? (my plan is for only 2 ounces at one time, but also states you can do this every 15 mins)

I'm on post op day 10.

What are some of the best things to have in this stage? Sticking a can of tuna in a blender doesn't sound too appetizing lol

So I'm wondering if I can sneak a bite of two of something from the dessert table... I don't know if I am allowed to try any meat. I am going to the doctor today for staple removal. I just want real food again. I created a low/no carb board on Pinterest and I'm dedicated to changing how I eat but I just want to bite into something, chew it up and swallow. Oh the simple things

It feels like the pain is coming from whatever I'm swallowing. It's weird but hurts. I'm going to have my staples out tomorrow so I'll so then. I do have my gallbladder. Hope that's not it. Thanks for the heads up

I'm 8 days post op gastric sleeve. I was 195.2 surgery day and today I was 182.1

My emotions are all over the place. I had a hysterectomy years ago. Started hormone therapy about 3 years ago once full Blown menopause set in. I'm taking my meds but I swear I am either crying or I could rip someone's head off. Wth??
