I can't believe it but for the first time ever, in my entire life I felt full. I went 1 bite too far and I honest to God thought I was going to die right on the spot. I had the most horrific shoulder and neck pain, I couldn't stop shaking and I was making so much saliva I thought I was going to drown!

AND I'M THRILLED!!! It sucked, badly- I still sort of ache from it... But it's something I'll never forget. My sleeve is working! Before I could have eaten 5 times what I ate tonight and never feel satisfied. So my scale may not be budging but now I know without a doubt that my sleeve most definitely works!

I just had this conversation with myself today. I ate a cheese stick felt uncomfortably full and couldn't believe it. I have never felt this way ever!

This is interesting, I seldom get a really full feeling. I know I try to under eat my sleeve but sometimes I wish I could eat more. Today, I walked around looking for some kind of food. I will work on this. ;)

Hi

One guy gets on the bus. Now the second guy gets on the bus.

The second guy asks the first guy where he is going, and then asks the first guy "where should he get off. "

The first guy says to the second guy, "watch me, and get off one stop before" :lol:

best

I am just like you!! I thought I was broken! No real "full" feeling. I just eat tiny portions & if I burp, I quit.

Bedhead, I've had that feeling too....the shakes, slime, etc!!! It sucks so bad. Mine is if I eat something that doesn't agree with me, but just how you described. This thing is working for you & I know you've had a tough time so YAY for the little victories!!

I am sooooo looking forward to this. I don't have a problem telling the difference between head hunger and REAL hunger but I have always felt like I didn't have an off switch....once I started I didn't stop until the food was gone! Well, when I had the band I stopped...but it was usually followed by puking and still feeling hungry!

I dont mean to go offtopic but i hit that point a few times on accident. Even in my t tiny 4oz tupperware I still go overboard. But throwing it back up is so quick I think its AWESOME in a wierd waylol. We got those anorexic chics beat by a mile. I have bad gag reflexs so thats what triggers me the most.

What gets me is that I used to go out and eat every weekend while I was home and eat everything on my plate. Now since I have been dealing with my new baby stomach I sit there and look at it saying I can eat off this for 3 days. But I do have to admit the restriction is amazing.

I used to love that feeling of being "full" before surgery. After surgery, I have to pay close attention because one bite too many and it feels like it is in my throat!

This sleeve truly is a behavior modification tool. If you push the boundaries, you know it and won't do it again!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
