Any recent post-oppers in the liquid stage having “food dreams”? Every night I go to sleep (this has literally happened since the night of my surgery I have a dream that I’m eating something. Sometimes indulgent sometimes salad. But I’m eating and worried that I’ll break my sleeve, but I keep eating in the dream. Only to wake up and realize I haven’t done any of it. I don’t know if it’s the post op liquid diet that I have to do for a month before going on to purée, or my addiction to food is worse that i thought. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know

Hello fellow sleevers today is my one month anniversary. I can believe is only been one month because it feels like a year. The diet, Constipation, pain, nausea have been hard to deal with but in the end the results are amazing. This is the healthiest i’ve felt in years.

Extra skin, stretch marks and cellulite. But I’m down 267 pounds, 267! I don’t regret a thing.

Not sure what kind of preparation and evaluation you received before surgery but I would strongly recommend finding someone with experience in eating disorders that you are comfortable with to talk to. Many people use food (as well as drugs/alcohol) to treat depression and childhood trauma is a big causative factor especially in someone your age.
It is entirely possible to stretch the sleeve out so you can eat what and how much you want to. I know people who have done this. However, it is vitally important that you follow your doctor's recommendations until you are fully healed to avoid life threatening complications. I am hoping that by then you will be feeling more accepting of the limitations. And this whole concept of "cheat days" only cheats yourself. There is a reasonable portion of anything that you can enjoy eventually. You ARE losing weight naturally, the sleeve is just a tool to help you.
Please be gentle with yourself and take it one day at a time. Hugs!!

Dont worry nobody is fault free, we all mess up here and there. Just always remember why you got into this, my main reason was my parents families on both sides have lots of dire medical issues and i dont want to end up being seriously sick when i am 33 and i want to enjoy life raising my kids plus i want to look good, i was always a big football type but never slim. Always had a gut. Its time i jumped start life. Remember we are here to support you if you ever need anything feel free to dm me.

I'm starting to regret getting it because I don't think I'm strong enough for this. I have failed with little bits here and there nothing crazy but have also thrown up. Now I'm more nervous than ever. I feel fine but I'm just terrified. Any advice? I need a sleeve buddy at this point 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had my surgery on April 14, 2018. I also did not to do the preop diet, only the day before. I also felt like I wanted to eat like it was the last supper, no pun intended. The surgeon had set my weight loss before surgery at 11 pounds which was 5% of my bodyweight, And I ended up losing about 30 pounds. My surgeon urge to me at my preop appointment to not do the preop diet, and to maybe try to gain a couple of pounds so I wasn’t as close to the lower end of the BMI

Hello My surgery was April 9. It's been quite the journey so far. I am trying to NOT be upset over the fact that I have only lost 11 lbs since then and just move forward. The first week was SO HARD just trying to keep down liquids. 4 oz's would fill me up so quickly. Most of my scars are healed except the one over my bellybutton. I bought my Premier Protein drinks a week prior to my surgery date and after my surgery, I cannot stand the taste so those were donated to family and friends. What I like one day, I may not like the next day. So that has been "fun." My biggest hurdle so far has been the Vitamins. Swallowing pills and soft chews from Celebrate have made me so sick. So I was SO HAPPY to find a topic titled Multivitamins and viola! PatchMD baby! Now prior to surgery my exercise was just walking. But since I'm not losing as much as I had hoped, I am enrolled in a muscle/weight loss boot camp and I LOVE IT. We don't do the same exercise twice. Every day is different. The biggest let down I would say so far has been my support team from the hospital. The support is just not there and all they want to do is recite what the binder says over and over again. I need more of a human connection since this is a life long journey I'm on and I cannot do it without support. So I contacted my aunt's hospital where she had her gastric sleeve done and the nutritionist there is so on board with helping me. #FistBump Since my surgery most of my body feels jiggly instead of rock hard. My GP doctor says that is good thing and the weight will come off in time. I just wish my breasts would shrink already. The "twins" are just aggrivating at this point.

This is definitely a marathon...not a sprint.

That’s great I’ve lost 11lbs so far my post op appointment is tomorrow I can’t wait to get off of this clear liquid diet ugh. Definitely keep in touch and let me know your progress.

Welcome and please stay and hang around RHCD. A lot of very nice people on the April Sleeve forum. We'll Celebrate your victories, sympathize with your trials and sustain you all along the Weight loss journey. To be technical I'm a missionary from the RnY side of life but this is how I look at things. You sleevers may be Army, my bypassers may be Navy but we are all allies in the Weight Loss Wars and we all sustain each other. And to use a trite phrase "Some of My Best Friends are Sleevers"!😝

I had a follow up with my surgeon today. I am doing everything "correctly". Said I should be eating 600 - 800 calories, 40-60 oz Water, 40 - 60 Protein a day and I am released for full exercise! I am surely happy with the report.
He explained my current stall after surgery in this way which made some sense to me...After surgery you lose a lot of water, your body is learning to balance itself with the reduced calories and regain the water that is no longer being delivered via all the food I used to eat. Therefore, the body starts to hold on to the water and although the inches are coming off (my clothes clearly fit better), the scale likely won't show a loss as it stabilizes to the new normal. He said as long as you stay with the program I will start to lose again. I might just put my scale away for a while.

Hi! New to the site (glad I found it). I just had surgery yesterday 4/24/18. Other than being sore, I'm not doing bad but can't handle the pain meds, so tylenol it is. But I'm having I guess spasms. they come and go at all hours. I thought it may be gas still in my stomach but my doctor said it wasn't. Has anyone else had this happen?

Absolutely i was elated when he said i can move forward i was grinning ear to ear.
