Okay , first pic is when I came home from the hospital and the second pic is on my one month surgiversary ( 24 lbs down). My scars have healed tremendously thank God and my belly is just doing a Chris Angel act, lol. So blessed and so happy.  

I am so pleased to say that Jan 5 marked my one month surgiversary and I am down 24 lbs from my surgery day weight of 219 lbs ( currently 195 lbs). But the real kicker is my starting weight pre op was 242 lbs so total lost is 47 lbs , yessss. Also, my birthday was Jan 5 as well and I am a beautiful 39 years young may I add. So excited and looking forward to more success in near future. My goal is 150 lbs. motivation is on point to reach it.

I've never faced such a challenge to stay strong then I am with this surgery. 12/5 was my sleeve. Being home for recovery and every single commercial break there are countless food commercials. They are so in your face too nowadays.... so my little PSA is to stay busy or distracted! Adult coloring books, read books, watch old movies, go through family photos, call friends/family and talk about life, go for a walk, knit, sew, crochet, watch Netflix or DVD or Ondemand. Just try to keep temptation or more so TAUNTING food blurbs out of your life while you learn your new normal and recover. My husband also eats in any room of the house except the one I'm in. When my cravings appear he will go out to eat to make sure the house doesn't smell like food I can't have. Anyway just trying to make helpful tips for anyone else who like me had to Learn to cope. Quitting smoking cigarettes many years ago was easier than this. You can't quit eating. But you can quit being controlled by food! We got this

Hi folks. I was sleeved 12/2 and have my first follow up appt tomorrow. I've been on Clear liquids all week and am expecting to be cleared for puréed and soft foods tomorrow. I'm trying to put together a specific list of items to ask about so I know exactly what my allowances and limitations are. Any suggestions? What have you found is a great choice in this stage?

Please Please Please be Careful, and TRY HARD TO STOP WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING, because you can harm yourself very bad from what I was told in a very serious way by doing what you've been doing.
ESP since you said your sleeve was made too tight. You can cause leaks and you don't want that.
PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND HELP TO GET BACK ON TRACK and
SPEAK IT TO YOURSELF,
I CAN AND WILL DO THIS.
And REMEMBER THIS THERE IS LIFE AND DEATH IN THE POWER OF OUR TONGUES.
Then Believe and Do What YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN AND WILL DO.
ONE STEP AND ONE DAY AT A TIME.

I survived the two week liquid diet and lost 20lbs.. My surgery is this morning. I have to be there at 5:30am and surgery is at 7:30am...his first of the day. I am so thankful that I found these forums a short time ago. I actually feel prepared. I'm not worried, just excited. God has got me in the palms of His hands. I'm just going to enjoy my nap and deal with everything else as it comes. I'll check back in when I can. For those of you at the beginning of your journey...hang in there. Your time is coming!!

Ugh. That's the first word that comes to mind after today. All was fine when I started talking, and then she asked about how my journey started of being overweight....I just broke down. I said I've been overweight since the 5th grade. I didn't have a bad childhood or anything it felt like over summer vacation I suddenly gained weight. But just as I started talking about myself and my struggles and being overweight I just started to cry. Anyone else have this experience?

Also I am also a fan of the premier Protein shakes I was advised not to drink them right away, as they contain milk and it might irritate my new stomach, and they were right. I was able to get them down, but with a lot of discomfort. I was instead told to only drink Protein Shakes whose first ingredient was whey Protein ISOLATE. Not blend or concentrate. The Vitamin shoppe has a really good brand called bodytech and it's actually really good. I went to GNC and noticed that they had one also that was their own brand. Hope this helps!!!

Well, I finally made stupid choices and ended up with stupid results.
Just an FYI, I am officially cleared to eat all the foods.
I went to an Asian restaurant yesterday and ordered my favorite shrimp fish to split with my friend. I managed to forget it was breaded in rice flour, and I didn't even consider that it was deep fried. I also ordered Chinese greens. I ate two shrimp and a few bites of greens. I was feeling panicked and full and like I couldn't breathe. I took 3 sips of Water (something I've absolutely not done since surgery) and immediately headed to the restroom. I threw up before I could even get the door locked. Uuuuugh. I went back to the table, but I had to immediately get up again and throw up again. I decide to try eating another shrimp with most of the breading knocked off. Nope. It came up, too. Great job, genius! I then had a 6 hour car ride home, my guts screaming and groaning, unable to so much as sip water without further angering my guts. It was pretty miserable. I got home, drank some broth, and listened to my guts further gripe and groan. All I could think about was my total Protein intake of 0 for the day and how my long, beautiful hair is going to fall out.
Lessons learned: Don't eat friend food. And sure as hell don't eat carbs!!!! I won't be experimenting like that again for a very, very long time. Just because you're cleared to eat anything doesn't mean you can eat anything...
