Riseup

Oh no.. I love the Peach & Banana [emoji31]

Amazon has peaches and cream!

Still wearing my same sweatsuit and sweaters wardrobes dang it! Good news the panties I bought accidently at Wally World over a year ago that were too small now fit, I am on the verge of undergrowing some of my bras, and I think my legs are starting to look less like elephant foot umberella holders, and , dare it say it? curves and definition like normal ladies, rump starting to flatten out but belly looks balloon air has leaking out of, rather blobby and flaccid. And my waist is inching smaller, oh I may never make 36-24-36 but maybe 40-27-38? that was in my prime, maybe 20 years old, oh being alive is reward itself, but I would like to be known or spoke of, by my name instead of so-and-so's fat whatever, be it mom, grandmom or friend. And I plan to be more decisive instead of appeasing everybody. The roadway of life is littered with flat squirrels who failed to make a decision. And when I replace clothing it will be in pastels, bright shades, maybe polka dots or plaidsn tired of retiring into the background of life. I am going to be so vibrant I shall vibrate!

I had my sleeve done on the 19th

Another Mirena IUD user here, and I love it. I've had mine for 2 years, no periods (just a little spotting here and there). I keep kicking myself for not going that route sooner.

Yes I must. Because I dont wanna loose all my hair

Haven’t heard of those, I’ll add it to my list of new stuff to try. Today, I got tired of the gurgles in my stomach so I tried a lil cream of wheat and so far so good 😊 it’s stayed down with no problem 🙏

And Lotte22 and the rest, Happy 1st Year Surgiversity, may the December 2018 ones do as well!😜😝😛

This is most helpful, THANK you! I’m going to give these lil cups a try today. I can’t stomach this Premier Protein drink but I’m freezing it and trying it that way today as well and mixing in the tasteless kind into my cream of wheat and broth. If this all works I’ll be good! Yes, we got this and we are worth it❗️

Jeannine - I spoke with my surgeon and he confirmed everything you said as what may be going on. I feel a lot better now that I got the chloraseptic spray and some cold medicine.

Thank you again!!

I heard someone else say they used chloraspetic throat spray.

I am 9 days post op..water had been difficult to drink..broth goes down very well. Water is easier if something else is added in with the water like caffeine free crystal light. Or Protein water or Decaf tea

Hey Zombie! I spoke with my surgeon's nurse and explained to her that the most I was able to get down was 40+/- and she explained to me that I should strive for the 64, but if 35-45 was all I could tolerate, just to work it in little at a time and slow sips of course. I'm PO 7 days today. I did my 1st-mile walk today, and I have been able to get down 54 ozs on yesterday, shooting for the 64 today, still working, but I might not make the 64 oz marker today, but I am working on it. Keep striving. Use the drink reminder so you can at least try every 15 minutes or so. Keep pushing!! We are all in this together! 💪

Today makes a year since I got my sleeve done and I’ve lost 135 pounds! I’m the happiest I’ve been in years and this was the best decision I’ve ever made. Good luck to anyone going through the process now. It truly is worth it!

Well, the holidays have been rough! So many parties, so much good smelling food, and I couldn't eat any of it. I was bad over the holiday, at 12 days post op I ate the inside of a deviled egg (not the boiled white part), and on Christmas, I ate the inside of another deviled egg and a tablespoon of mashed unsweetened sweet potatoes which I could not finish. Even though my diet plan doesn't have me starting pureed foods until Friday. I ate slowly an added saliva when I would put the food in my mouth to thin it out more. I KNOW IT WAS WRONG BUT IT TASTED SO GOOD! and I was very satisfied and didn't feel sick or overly full. I haven't had anything even semi-solid in almost 5 weeks so that was a real joy.

Had mine on the 20th!

I had dizziness for some days after surgery, but it passed - don't worry.
Once I got onto sloppy solids, it stopped altogether.

I’m 16 days post op and I don’t think I give myself a chance to get hungry. I stay drinking Water and knocking down Protein. I just started blended/puréed and can’t even eat a quarter to half cup before feeling like I’m going to burst. Not sure if it’s all the liquids I drink or what, but I have to force myself to eat. Only time I want food is when I’m smelling something scrumptious!! I started drinking Protein Water as soon as I got out of the hospital. May be the difference. Not sure how I’ll handle hunger!! Good luck!!

I confess that it brings me IMMENSE joy that I weigh less than my two best friends.

I am 2 yrs post sleeve. I was scared too and had some anxiety but all for nothing! It is the best thing I have done for my life. It was so good with the surgery that I thought some thing was wrong. I felt so good I could not believe it. Only had some gas pain which went away when you walk it off. Had no problems with swallowing at all.
Did everything by the book. I have lost 110lbs.
No more meds! Health is good!!
So don't fear!! It will go well. Just do what you are told.
