Tomorrow is my big day. I'm so scared about complications but at the same time I am excited about a new life. One where I can keep up and play with my two year old son, where my autoimmune disease isn't triggered all of the time and where I don't have to where clothes that I feel help me to "hide". I don't where makeup or jewelry or get my hair done because I just want to hide from everyone, to blur in to the background. I don't want to be like that anymore. I don't want my family to have to say "I know you don't want to be in the picture". I hate that person. I'm glad to be getting the chance to show the world that I am a person and I don't have to hide anymore. But that scared feeling still lies there.

Don't get discouraged. I only lost 5 after surgery and went on a 3 week stall. But I kept walkiing and eating right and now I"m at 20lbs at 5 weeks post op and the loss is going fairly quickly. I lost 10 lbs before surgery, so 30lbs total and I'm thrilled because now I am losing 3-5 a week. Hang in there. I actually quit weighing for a while and just went by my clothes getting baggier and feeling thinner. The scale can mess with your head during a stall.

That sounds great to me!

December 27th here!

Hey everyone! I'm two days post op and I'm a loser now! Yayy! They found a small umbilical hernia and they gave that a few tiny stitches to rectify that once they were doing my sleeve.
In some pain but I stay on top of my painkillers. I'm up walking a bunch, going to the bathroom and finally able to continue sipping my Water. Just had my first sip of Protein Shake and boy have my taste buds changed!
I will be completely honest I woke up from surgery saying to myself "what the hell have you done to yourself" and I can't believe I had to do this but those feelings quickly went away when I started thinking of my new life and being around for my family ❤️

I do not understand pimento cheese. AT ALL.

Found this at Walmart of all places. Wensleydale with Cranberries
The only true Wensleydale cheese in the world comes from the milk drawn from cows that graze the sweet limestone pastures on farms in Upper Wensleydale, England. The cheese was first made there during the Norman invasion, when French monks from the Roquefort region were brought over to practice their cheese-making skills. The Wensleydale pastures give the cheese the unique, refreshing flavor for which it is renowned. The cheese is a fresh, young cheese taken at only three weeks old. It has a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor with a honeyed aftertaste. The superb texture of fresh Wensleydale is perfectly complemented by the addition of all natural cranberries of the finest quality. Wensleydale with Cranberries is an innovative blend of flavors and a superb visual experience. Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Suitable for vegetarians.Photo depicts whole 2.8 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by hand.
Just reading the description makes me drool

I start puree stage in two days. I've already bought the cheese for Eggface's Ricotta Bake.
I *may* be just a little too excited about getting to have cheese.< /span>
Has anyone here ever tried Argentinian provoleta? OH LAWD... It's a hunk of round provolone cheese, about an inch thick, seasoned, and grilled on the BBQ until the outside is crispy.
I'd almost kick a baby for a bite of some right now...

I had my sleeve done on December 28th. I would love to be a part of the group. I'm still trying to figure out this app. Can I get an invite?

Some people are addicted to cocaine. But me... I'm addicted to cheese. I usually eat those Frigo Cheese Heads cheese sticks. I don't eat more than 3 a day, since they can pack on some calories if eaten in a high amount. But they definitely help with my craving.

Chhhheeeeeesssseeeeahhhhh! I love it. Havarti Gouda Feta Parma. Cheddar Asiago mozzarella Brie provolone Colby blue cheese... love it all. I do a snack of cheese, almond ( or nut of choice) and grapes. It makes me happy. I started soft cheeses when I was allowed soft foods. I see a cheese board at a holiday party and I am happy!

I like Burt's Bees Coconut Pear. It was especially great post op after dry oxygey blowing on my mouth and not enough fluids.

I like Beesential orange ginger lip balm it is made with beeswax and shea Butter instead of petroleum. It smells great and softens my lips but doesn't cause the issues of traditional lip balms

I love cheese in all it's forms (expect maybe spray...), but over the past month I've learned to treat it like I used to treat Cookies... have a small serving every now and again. For me at this time, the salt (Water retention) and binding effect are not a good combo and I'm already at my Protein goals, so I'm mostly going without.
I do have cottage cheese every day for Breakfast, though.

cheese is life.

I eat all the cheese I want as long as it is real cheese (no fake cheese BS like American or Provel) and it is full fat. Low fat cheese has carbs and more fillers.
I like the extra then cheddar slices for my burgers. One slice is 50 calories and it adds just enough cheese.
And I eat a lot cream cheese. I make low carb cream cheese pancakes and I have cream cheese as deserts/snacks.

Thank you!

I eat it daily! I love cheese. I do eat in moderation and I go for the really tasty cheeses so I can enjoy the taste, with just a bite :-)

Speak to your doctor or paediatrician and come up with a plan, you may have a few months before surgery so any time is good or you he may advise due to health needs not to put it off.
Good luck
