Thanks for the advice.... I'll defiantly try that !

Your welcome! Let me know if it works for you. I keep one in the car because that's where I usually get anxiety (I have a hard time riding and not driving) and I hate to drive go figure! :)

I hope all the October sleevers are doing well.I went through a horrible stall while on full liquids. I guess my body was in starvation mode because since I started soft foods on Nov. 13, my weight has started dropping again. I absolutely love to have real food again. The hardest part is that the pull of emotional eating is back. Last night I had a lot on my mind, and my first thought was to grab a snack. Luckily I recognized it and got Water instead, but I think it's right in saying that this is no easy journey. Anyone have any tips for staying focused?

I'm three weeks post op today and have started exercising. I have found that exercise in general is such a great release. Try going for a walk or doing some type of physical exercise when you feel the urge to splurge. It's going to be a struggle for a while for me because I was such an emotional eater all my life, but ultimately the overall goal is to replace those bad habits with healthy ones. SO thankful for my sleeve to help me accomplish my goals!

Today marks one month for me!! My weight has held at 248, down 27 lbs, I too removed the scale, it was becoming an obsession....lol. I am having a hard time with solids, dumping.....grrr. I was such a picky eater prior, it is even more challenging for me and I can't get all the Water down! Not doing good with the Vitamins (not taking them at all) thought I was on the right track but I guess not. All the mental preparation I had before seems to have slipped away, anyone else feel they are in the same boat?

Today is my 1 mth sleeveaversary! It was a rough month. Since removing dairy from my diet and passing the kidney stones, I am 110% better. I'm very excited to start an exercise program. I'm feeling great. I hit 50 lbs lost the other day, 34 since surgery!

Today marks one month since I've been sleeved. I was 327 now I'm 286 so that's 41 pounds down. Plus I've only got sick once and I can home eating what ever I wanted the only thing was I can only eat three or four folk full of something and that's it which is a good thing. I think I would have lost more if I could have went to the gym but I had foot surgery as well so that stopped me from doing all I wanted to do. But I have foot surgery on the other foot on the 30 so as long as I can still loose a little weight well I'm down that would be great. So good luck to you all and keep up the good work.

Honey, we started out at the same weight. I'm only three weeks out and am down 35lbs.

Are you on MFP by chance? I'd love to add you if so. I'm Robbino on there as well.

You've done remarkably well, considering your exercise limitations because of your foot.

I'm just now starting to walk and do some light toning. I don't want to push it too early but I'd like to start taking some Zumba classes again after Thanksgiving.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
