this sounds dumb i know but i'm starting a diet today. . . old habits NEVER die do they??? Thank god for this sleeve and portion control, this shouldn't be too tough ( I hope)

ugh not me, still good ole size 10WW! UGH at least they make them this size for sasquach! I need coffee now!

ME TOO!!!!!!!

My level is 9. . . quite low. My normal potty routine is only 1 or 2 per week if that. Tell you, I'm just a mess. . .

you don't want to know!

Thanks everyone ! You all are great. . . and yes, I live in San Antonio Texas and am a sun worshiper, so getting my sunshine is definately NOT a problem over here. . . I'll try vitalady as well, and i do eat alot of cheese already any more and I'll turn into a rat. . Thanks again all, I'll keep you posted!

Ok so i'm ticking along, losing weight and feeling great. . everytime i have gone to the doctor for follow up she has drawn blood and has found vitamin D deficency and has prescribed Vitamin D 50,000units x 13 weeks. . well I have had this x 2 and now the last time she took blood and she has said that I have the most severest Vitamin D deficency she has ever seen and doesn't understand why. . . my PTH (parathyroid hormone) now is elevated as well, however, my calcium levels are perfect as is everything else except for the liver enzymes which are elevated but she attributes that to the surgery. . . so here i am taking Vitamin D in large doses Prescription once a week along with Vitamin D3 gummies every day. . . my bone density test is fine with just a bit of osteoartheritis noticable. . . what do you guys think? She says that if after this 3 months if the vitamin D has not gone up significantly, she'll have to do something else. . . what else is there? IV vitamin D??? anyone know?

Gosh your post made me laugh! especially envisioning the restaurant trip with you chewing like a mad woman then regurgitating the piece of bread! that is so funny. . .but seriously honey, be careful with the bread. . the naan will definately kill you honey, it's to dense, i make naan with my chicken curry and still can't do well with it. . but i get a piece down every now and then with some discomfort. . . you'll do fine good luck and all the best to you!

Ok chickie, heres the problem. . bread bad! Protein good! Girl, bread is what probably made you fat in the first place, bread will swell up in your new tummy and make you feel really bad. . i have a problem with bread and i'm over 1 year out. . so you know what SCRATCH out bread for now . . . good luck. . . oh and by the way, spaghetti, white rice, macaroni and such will do the same thing. . .

Not only water weight, but you just were sleeved on the 28th, your body is still swollen and trying to recover. . this was a major surgery. . . just keep on doing what your doing only do one thing, get rid of that scale. . your getting obsessed. . .if not, then at least weigh only 1 time per week or every other week. . .you don't need to be weighing that often. . . good luck and be patient. . . give yourself time to heal

ALRIGHT!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

sorry i forgot i posted already!

Congratulations to you! That is fabulous! the more you walk the less gas pains or other pains actually. . . good for you! Keep up the great work! Together we'll get through this!

Yup I was up 25lbs! so don't feel badly, after a while it goes away. . hang in there and whatever you can sip do that. . .1 - 2oz Water or whatever every hour is good. . . good luck!

Ok call me a major weirdo here but I really dislike pizza always have. . my crack food is meat. Stupid huh? I don't really have a "I'll kill for that" food. . . for me it's well whatever, but i'll choose meats over pies, cookies, cakes, etc. . . even as a little kid, my mom tells me i would run over to the cold cuts verus the cookies or candy. . .

Gosh all i saw was any Kiwis? I was about to start talking about kiwis cause I love those (the fruits i mean! ) See how food minded I still am. . . .goodness! Sorry I just had to post this. .

thats an excellent idea! where were you when I was newly sleeved? great idea cause you don't want those little seeds anywhere near the incision line!

I was given a straw to use the day of surgery and have been using them ever since and i'm 1 year out. . . if your nut say don't then i guess don't but it has helped me get my fluids in really well cause i love drinking from straws. . . no it won't stretch out the tummy. . .that is dumb I think

I was told not to drink alcohol until i was at least 3 months out. . .you being out only at 6 weeks I can't answer that question for you, you must make that decision. . however you could have juice resembling the same color as wine in a wine glass and make the best of it. . . just a thought. . . happy birthday to you though!!!

good girl! that is the postive that will get you this surgery you want. . . and like you say good things come to those who wait. . . there is your walk of life too, . . maybe now is not the right time for some strange reason or another. . . it's going to happen for you, just wait. . . good luck!

Wow what a bunch of doom sayers huh? Well i'm out 1 + years and haven't gained anything back matter of fact i'm still losing. . .i eat whatever but in moderation of course as you will have to as well. are you willing to eat in moderation? are you willing to work at it cause it does take work on your part, this is just a tool not a solve all. . . you still have to maintain a "diet" . . . hope this helps. . .good luck

being in a financial hemmorhage really sucks. . .but if it's to be it will happen for you! just hang in there and be patient. . . maybe a second job could help pay for it? just a thought. . .good luck

hahaha you sound like me. . . i didn't tell my family at all either, i called my mom and non chalantly told her that i was going on vacation for about 2 weeks and that i would call as soon as i could. . she understood. . .so after i got home from the hospital on day 4 after 1 1/2 weeks i called her and told her all about my "vacation" and what a great time we had. . . then she came to visit me on Thanksgiving and by this time i had lost way over 100 lbs that is when i told her. . . hell what could she say right???? it worked great for me as well. . . families can be such a pain in the gluteous maximus. . . .

yes it is and it included 1 year of follow up care as well, included the hospital and the surgeons (you get 2), the anesthesia dude, the 3 days as i said, medication etc. . . i think it's a great deal and the best part, you get USA care
