Same here, I still get full so fast that I can't get everything in as much as I try. Sometimes I feel like if I keep going I'll stretch my sleeve all out.

@@Bluesky1 I've never had a seizure before, I guess there's a first time for everything! I just hope it never happens again
Oh my! I'm so glad you're OK. Have you had a seizure before? Was it solely from not drinking Water?Just reminding everyone to drink their water!!! I thought I was doing perfectly fine, come to find out I was severely dehydrated :-/ on top of that for the 1st time in my life, I had a seizure. Thankfully I was already at the hospital when it happened so I was cared for by emergency staff swiftly. I hope to never go through something like that again

I'm slowly losing, but as long as the scale is going down I'm content. Is anyone else struggling with a weird taste in their mouth? I have it 24/7 no matter what I do and it makes certain foods and drinks taste terrible. I don't know what to do. that's my only complaint

OMG I've been the same way and I'm a month this week, sometimes I have a lot of energy but lately I've been soooo tired and my hormones have me allll over the place, my tears have been streaming lately and not even for any reason. I heard it takes a while for our bodies to adjust but idkHow is everybody? It's been quiet on this thread.
It was a wonderful weekend with my husband and church family. Then today...I was so tired, sad, weepy, and frustrated. I had so much to do, but spent most of the day in bed.
This crushing fatigue is hard to deal with, and I kept thinking...what if this lasts for ever....you're still fat...and on and on....
The combination of this surgery, surgical
Menopause, and trouble finding foods I can eat with enough Protein...had me in tears.
It's a little better now though, thank God.

Thank u all so much, I'm going to see if I can find a little bit more reading on it. I don't think I was prepared for this part lol. Now I see why they give u these psych evals!! It's stressful mentally and physically. I don't regret it though, I suppose I just need to find new habits and coping mechanisms

I'm just wondering if anybody else who had the sleeve surgery ever experienced sadness after their surgery? I had surgery a little over a month ago and my hormones or something just feel out of whack. I have no reason to be sad yet I find myself incredibly tired and sad at times for no reason. Sometimes I think it's because I'm going through this alone, but i wasnt feeling this way a week ago. I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced lows and how long b4 it passed ?

Good Luck my DE girls!! there's also a Greek Yogurt at Walmart that sells oikos triple zero yogurts in tons of flavors with 14-15 g of Protein per serving. Pack light 4 the hospital, plan 4 something loose and comfy for the ride home. Gas strips do not work in the hospital after surgery. You have to walk, walk, walk

Congrats!!!!Yay!!! I'm down 1.5 lbs since yesterday. I am so happy.
I had two goals in the first month
1. To lose at least 30 lbs in the first month (didn't happen)...but I did lose 25 lbs (since day of surgery)...
2. To be under 200 lbs (happened today...199.4...on day 31, close enough!)
I am really encouraged by this. I was a little down yesterday, because I didn't meet my goals.
Some things I have been doing.
1. I increased my Protein a week ago to 74-97 (yesterday was 97, and two other days were 90 & 93). My docs office said take in 50 grams at least (I felt way too tired and shaky only doing 50-69). I've taken two Muscle Milks to help get Protein up, there's just no way I can get those numbers just eating. My doc is not a fan of them, but...I have to at the moment.
2. Increased my Water 64-97 (yesterday)
3. Upped my calories to around 700-850.
Not sure of this helped my stall, but I think it might have. We shall see.
Also, just ordered the Syntax nectar samples(from Bariatric Pantry) and unjury samples (from Unjury), and a new cheap scale from Amazon. Was so excited...I got all of them today! (Very quickly)
Here is the scale link: http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Bathroom-Capacity-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=zg_bs_85968011_2
It seems pretty accurate so far, it was the same weight three times in a row. It also came with a free measuring tape.
I ordered it and got Free two day shipping by signing up for a Free Prime membership for 30 days (you MUST cancel in 30 days if you don't want it though, or you'll be charged $90-100 for the membership).
I'm definitely going to start my one weekly weighing only, otherwise I think I can get to impatient and discouraged.
I am going to do my measurements tomorrow (and once every 30 days), because sometimes your getting smaller even though the scale isn't dropping...so measurements can be encouraging.
