@sillykitty I know there is no way to predict. But to actually say that though!!! I just never would ...not ever try to hurt someone that way. And maybe hurt is to strong of a word.

So I was having a conversation with a coworker about breast size. She is aware that I am dieting...but that's all. Anyway I shared with her that I was a size 36C before I got pregnant and then started to gain weight 4 years ago. Now I'm in a 48DDD. Yes triple D's. She informed me that I would never be back lower than a DD with sagging boobs. I thought that was a horrible thing to say which is why I didn't share that I had WLS with her to begin with. What she said hurt my feelings a bit. Whatever happened to encouragement. Isn't that free?

@AJ Tylo [emoji38]. That was totally hilarious and also true. I am so happy I belong to this site. You all are so supportive and give that extra push when needed. Thank you all so much!!!!

Today is exactly 1 month for me and I am down 20 lbs. I feel kinda blah about that. I was definitely expecting more. Most of the weight loss came the first week I lost 12 lbs. So it has been really slow weight loss after that. I thought I understood this whole process but I guess I don't. I am feeling discouraged at the moment. Sorry to ramble along.

Hi there!!!! I've been on this site here and there. I reside in Atlanta. I was sleeved 3 weeks. So far I have lost 15.4 pounds.....kinda depressed about that. I guess going in looking through the stats of others I thought I would be further along. So for me I kinda used this site as a means of guidance. But I am definitely open to making friends through this tough journey!!!

I am 3 weeks and also have a black stool. I take all of my vitamins and drink plenty of water. I don't think I get enough protein though. I go to the doc next week and plan to mention it then.

Day 6. I had my 1 week post op today and I lost 10 pounds since surgery. I'm happy about that. I did notice that I started to feel hungry. Will that feel stay with me?

My surgery was 10 /22 and I went back to work on 10/28. I'm feeling good so far

I was the same ways....my nerves were all over the place. You will be just fine. Good Luck

Day 5....Guess what? I went back to work!!!! I took my vitamins this morning, sipped on protein water on my way to work. I have a desk job so its not at all physical. I was so busy I forgot to eat. Actually I didn't get hungry. I did sip water/ Gatorade zero all day at work so my water intake is good. I didn't need any pain meds. When I got off work I had chicken broth. Tonight I will try to squeeze in a liitle protein drink and call it a night.

I'm from Atlanta. My sleeve was done 10/23/19. I am 48 years old.

Day 4 So it has now been 4 days since my surgery and I am so much BETTER. I was able to take my vitamins early with no problem. Actually I can't wait to get off of them and switch to anorher brand because they are so sweet. Anyways I ventured out to Walmart and ended up feeling nausea....not sure why. I continued to walk and sip anyway. I have got to get rid of this gas. But guess what I discovered.....i am getting my recommended does of water in. So I am happy about that. Protein is another story. Last night I mixed my water with the Premier protein shake and I seem to tolerate the shake better. So I will do that from now on. Let me tell you all what helped with my nausea....at least I felt like it did..... HOMEMADE CHICKEN BROTH. Oh my God is was so delicious. I had to remember to go slow but it so sooooo good. So I purchased the plastic container bowl's to store it for my daily lunch/meal. How are you all doing???

Thanks Guys. Actually I didn't get a chance to test it out. My BF purchased the sweet lemonade and that was a no no.

You look awesome!!!! Congrats!!!!

Can I drink the sugerless lemonade from Chick-fil-A during the liquid phase?
