My surgery is scheduled for march 13th and I'd really like a buddy that's close to me going through this. I live in Woodstock Georgia.

My doctor said to wait a year and it would be fine.

Yes! I've actually done it a few times. I've got six kids so I'm constantly making Snacks or meals and I've accidentally popped something in my mouth several times. It definitely hurts. I just have a lot of bad habits to break and obviously ones I wasn't even aware I was doing before sleeved. I can only imagine how many calories I consumed just by grazing a little each time I made my kids food

Live in Woodstock Georgia ,any one in my area?

Looking for any Georgia sleevers

Well, my first real test of my big Italian family holiday get togethers was a fail. I'm 6 weeks post-op and I gave into my cravings yesterday and today and ate food I shouldn't of. Then I stupidly came home and weighted myself. I gained 2lbs in the past two day. I'm so mad at myself and have just sat here crying. My addiction to food is more powerful then I could of ever imagined.

Don't be disappointed. Our stats are almost identical and I am 5 weeks out and have only lost 20lbs. We are going to loss slower then another person weighing say like 300lbs. At least that it what my doctor told me when I went in discouraged last time. Hang in there. Your doing great!

OK, let me be blunt. Build a bridge and get over it. Get back on track and try not to do it again.

Okay, so you gave in. That was one meal, on one day. It's up to you whether that's going to be repeated or not! None of us are perfect, and none of us goes through this without a single slip or misstep. The thing that will make us successes or failures is how we react to the misstep. Brush yourself off, get back on plan and the NEXT time you feel like indulging in something that might be a bad idea...you can look back to this and decide if the indulgence is worth the aftermath. I've walked away from quite a few pieces of cake using that mindset

Also, don't EVER weigh at the end of the day...I drink an 8 oz glass of Water before bed every night, I'd be crazy to weigh then and consider that my actual weight with a half-pound of water in my stomach! Get up in the morning, use the bathroom, strip and weigh yourself. Then repeat weighing yourself that way as often as works for you. I'm a daily weigher, some prefer weekly, monthly or random days...whatever you choose, do it at the same time of day, wearing the same thing.

The reason we fail is because we fail to forgive ourselves. There is not one person here that has not eaten something they aren't supposed to. If there is they will eventually do it.

You did not gain 2 pounds:-). Lol...but it's good you really care. Keep after it. You're doing great!

shake it off baby jump back on your horse you're fine

The psych was very clear at my doctor's office. You should aim to be 90% on plan all the time. Having a single meal where you went off plan is not the end of the world, it is enjoying life. Don't let a single indulgence lead to a string of bad choices. You have nothing to be ashamed of!

Relax at least you admitted it. There are lots of critics on here that will tell you how bad you were. Bottom line just get right back on plan. I've slipped and was criticized for eating three marshmallows peeps

I did. I thought it might be an allergy to the take home antibiotics. There are other things it could be, but def. allergy to something. I took benadryl, liquid, but talk to your team.

I'm on Medicare and I just started this process in January and my surgery date is march 13th. I've gone through all my pre-op stuff so it's all a go.

Hi everyone!
I came home Tuesday and it has been really rough. I've had a lot of gas pain and a terrible headache. I ended back in the ER the same night I got home because I needed better pain relief. I'm having such a heard time not wanting to eat. I physically couldn't if I even tried to but I wish that switch in my brain would turn off like it does for some and just not crave food.
I can't eat really anything that is approved except Water and green Jello. I tried the sugar free popsicles and immediately threw up. That was the worst pain of my life. I'm hoping these next few weeks go by quickly and I start to heal.

I came home on Tuesday and I should of stayed one more night. I have been walking a lot. I made a Protein Shake and have only managed to get about 5 sips down over the past 30 min.
When does the pain stop in your stomach the minute the food or liquid hits it. That's half the reason I don't drink because it's so painful.

Are you still in the hospital or home?

Keep trying to drink.. a sip every 5 minutes. If you can't get down 40oz today, be sure to let your doctor know.

[Hugs] You sound miserable

Are you up and walking or rocking? I know walking helped me a ton. I had my surgery last Wednesday. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Aw I feel for you momto6kids I also had a horrible time and regretted having surgery but 2 weeks later I felt much better, just do what berry78 has said and keep trying to drink little sips but maybe more often. Big hugs to you it does get better x

I'm worried about a lot of things but I'm mostly afraid I'm going to go through all of this and not loose much weight and this will have all been for nothing. My current weight is 211lbs and my bmi is 35. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I'm 41 :-/
Any encouragement would be wonderful.
