M scheduled for my surgery April 26th and I was curious to see who else would be walking in the shoes of April with me. Tell me how you feeling? What's on your mind? Any worries? Second thoughts?

I was sleeved 4/24 and my weight was up and down and finally it began to go down. I have lost about thirty pounds, but I too wear the same size tops, but only with room to spare. I am excited because I can now wear clothes from several years ago when I was smaller

Have anyone tried fried food? I want to try the new spicy mcbites at McDonald's, but I have not had fried food since before preop.

I've been bad and had fried foods. Both chicken strips and taquitos. They went down fine but I try to avoid fried foods mostly.

Don't feel bad because I have found I treat myself occasionally, but I make sure I exercise to work off any bad calories. Also, I dod not make a habit of eating the wrong items because I am feeling so energetic.

Reading your comment again I have eaten fried chicken fingers from Arby's, but peeled away the batter in an effort to get my protein intake. To my surprise new pouch tolerate fried food ok.

I have had chicken strips when out and it was the only thing I could eat. Peeled off breading and I could eat one strip before being full. It sat ok, but not great. I could tell it had more fat in it and I did not feel as good as when I eat right.

Here was my disaster experience with impulse over intelligence....saw fried mushrooms on menu and just had to try them. One bite and it tasted bad and came back up. That was enough for me to stay clear of fried foods. Never again. I guess the "activity" served its purpose!!! LOL

In my journey like you I am finding what foods my pouch is willing to accept and those it rejects. Before being sleeved I enjoyed eating Grits, but know i feel sick whenever I attempt eat them.

i remember hearing in my education and support sessions that as you lose weight someimtes you see yourself as the same even though you are losing weight. This true as I sat holding my grand neice when I noticed I had room that was not there one month ago, and I praised God because now my stomach is beginning to reduce,but I yet have quite a way to go.

Sleeved April 27th down 42 lbs including liver shrink preop! Go April sleevers

Sleeved April 2 nd down 58lbs feeling so good. Loving life

So, yesterday we had "early dismissal" from work. We got to leave at 3 because it was the day before a holiday. I need to run a few errands, one of which was to the mall. Not ready to buy new clothes yet, I had to try something on just to see what size jeans I could get into. Well, I am HAPPY to report, I was able to put on a size 16 (regular department) pair of jeans. They were a little snug, but they zipped!! Feels good to know that my next new purchase of jeans will not be from the plus size department! YAY!

Glad to see everyone's success!

Sleeve date April 10 and I am down 42 pounds. Surg weight 261 and current weight is 219....
