I was sleeved on April 11. Weighed in at 210. Today I'm 169. Very happy with my weight loss! Eating is kind of torture for me. How do you all manage it? I work full time. Between not being able to drink 15 minutes before and 30 minutes after eating I find I'm setting timers to remind myself to drink and to eat. It's really hard to fit in all the Water and all the food. The most I've managed to take in is 600 calories on a day. I feel really full after eating only about 3 oz of food. I've never gotten all my water in.
Aside from eating and needing to burp afterwards (I'm not given to doing a lot of burping) I feel fantastic! Best decision of my life!
My husband told me to stop wearing tents and to go shopping and buy some form fitting clothes. Love that man!

Hi Shaydi.Laine, Thank you! I appreciate all you've said. I'm also going to take your advice very seriously.
I live in Victoria. BC and was sleeved in Mexico.
I lost 10 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet before I went to Mexico.
My surgery went very well, but the trip home was very very long and I wasn't ready for it. When I got home I slept and was pretty out of it for about 3 days.
When I felt alive again I found I had developed Thrush which made eating and drinking difficult.
Since that got cleared up I've been feeling great. I'm full of energy.
I think I should have been more explicit when explaining my circumstances. Eating is torture and that's why I feel as though it's something I wish I could avoid. After I eat the meager portion that I do it I feel tremendous pressure in my chest and pain in my shoulder blades. The only thing that alleviates it is burping...something I've always had difficulty doing. I walk after I eat to aid in this.
Over the past 24 hours I've read that pain in the shoulder blades could be a sign of gallstones. I've booked a Monday morning appointment with my GP.
I am committed to doing my program as prescribed as diligently as possible. I definitely don't want to lose my hair!!!

Thank you Montana Gal! I am so grateful to hear this and so happy for you! I'm leaving my home in British Columbia Canada in the morning for Mexico and I'm quite nervous. Your advice makes me feel better!
