@@busybeebug Take your pain meds as prescribed - even if you think you feel better - once the pain pills wear off - it's very hard to catch back up to the pain. Just keep walking to get rid of the gas - sip to get in your fluids and rest when you're not walking. Hang in there!

Today marks my one year anniversary!
One year ago I made the decision to save my life. I believe I may have done that
It's been a quick and a much successful year - in my opinion HAHA
Surgery date Sept 21 2015
Starting weight 273.4
Current weight 157.0 (I was down to 153.6 a couple of weeks ago but must've been eating too much salt lately; hence the slight increase LOL)
Goal weight 150 - which I will succeed here shortly!
Thanks for all of your support on this website!
Now to get to goal and live happily ever after!!

I couldn't do it either. 3 shakes a day? I thought it was completely ridiculous. Just do the best you can. Sip, sip, sip.

I'm surprised at how many people are released to go home but can't keep anything down. I had to be able to drink a Protein shake and "eat" Jello, to be released. What kind of hospital is releasing people home who can't eat so they can starve? That seems grossly irresponsible.
You still need Protein to fuel your healing, not matter how much fat you are covered in.

40 days without food. Only 2 without Water. Get that gatorade in ☺

I love your food funeral. That's great!!!! Maybe I'll do the same, I like to say more of a "see you later" knowing I'll replace a big mac with something like a tiny turkey burger. Still trying to figure out what to replace buffalo wings with ... my nemesis Hope the rest of the trip goes well!

Now for some fat free ranch! Haha. ☺☺

I like the "wow that's personal..." statement. Too funny.

I think it can be done. I hope it works for you guys ????My husband also hates the "what's for dinner" question. He just wants some food in front of him and is happy!

I am thankful we did the process together, for serious health reasons. I stock the fridge wth his likes, and my likes. We rarely sit down to dinner. It has made our life so uncomplicated, without cooking and meal planning. It is great not to have bread and Pasta in the house, no sweets or temptations. A meal for us would be grilled fish, no sides. I love it!

I wonder how 1 can do it without the other? Like, if my husband was constantly having pizza, fried food, snack food, stopping at taco bell it would be drastically more difficult. My husband isn't sleeved, but is down with the program. Military background, so he cracks down on the rules!

Sounds like an HR manager's dream!

If you are asked why you were gone from work, just say you had personal business to attend to. If someone asks if you have lost weight, say yes and thank you.
Don't let anyone draw you into anything. Just smile and walk away.

mashed up meatball with ricotta and sauce. a few small bites, it was delicous.

My husband had bypass 3 wks ago and I had the sleeve 7wks ago. We are doing this together. With hormones crazy changing, we've had ups and downs, but we stick together and help each other through the tough stuff. As we get healthier, we feel better together. He's loosing weight faster with the bypass, but I am loosing too. Hoping this will make our lives healthier and fuller.

My husband and I are going through the process together. We're both having the sleeve done. Neither of us have our surgery dates yet.

My hubs and I are starting the process together now. He got his referral last week and I got mine today. Praying that this is a turning point to a healthier and happier life. He is diabetic and I am over the moon that he finally decided to make this move with me. I have lost weight on my own just to gain it back. It can create a lot of tension in a relationship when you have one person who is trying to work out and eat healthy while the other isn't. The more weight I lost the more I wanted to get out and live. He wasn't there so I let myself go back to old habits just because it was no longer worth the fight. Now that we are both on board together I know we can both succeed.

Yes, two years ago. I was sleeved in Aug and my husband Sept 2014. We sometimes workout together and always encourage each other. He has been my best-friend for 17 years. We love being sleeve and it has only helped us as a family. It is a great thing.

Yes, three years ago. My husband has been overweight his entire life. Went to WLS fifteen plus years. Nothing felt safe or right. Went with him to the sleeve seminar, and when I realized I qualified with asthma, HBP, diabetes, I made the decision I was going to do this. I led my husband to the fire, going first, and he will say it is the best thing that ever happened to him. He is 100 lbs lighter and we are boating again, swimming, kayaking, traveling, and walking the beaches of Florida. We are now 69-70 years old and in a HAPPY state of mind! Best wishes! We eat out a lot, and never blink as we share a small meal or salad.

Have you ever watched Survivor? I could be on that damn island for a year without food and probably still be considered an overweight BMI! ????. You can live without food - but not Water.

there are a lot of different plans out there. I was allowed after a few weeks and I have my cup of coffee daily. it allows me to dress myself and use grown up manners.
