You'll get there, it may take some time...but the great thing about the sleeve is that you know that sooner or later you will reach your goal!

Congrats on your weight loss. Don't you love the sleeve?

I do love it. However lately I've been craving Doritos. And then my sleeve reminds me I could only have a couple.

See i find things like chips and popcorn i could eat a ton of. I ate almost a whole bag of popcorn before i realized i cant have that in the house anymore lol when we chew it down its almost to nothing so i find those things i can eat a ton more of compared to meat and veggies etc

So needless to say i try to stay away from that stuff.

sweet cravings are back

I get a little more nosh-y than normal during my TOM. I'm trying to eat a Cutie when I want a sweet. Although, I have had chocolate. And I'm okay with that. One or two pieces is awesome and I don't have to eat them all. Like I said, right before my TOM, I get noshy. I found myself in the kitchen last night because I "wanted something". I wasn't hungry at all. I found myself in there looking about and said to myself, stop and see if you're hungry. I did and I wasn't. So got a little bit of my Trop 50 OJ and moved on.

I am so grateful that the sleeve is letting me pause and reevaluate what I'm eating or what I'm looking to eat. That would not ever have happened before. Amazing.

OH! and I have come to discover that if I have had a lower Protein day, I find myself grazing around the kitchen. Gotta get that protein in to protect myself from evening noshiness.

Sadly, it's Hair loss time for me.... Can't stand it.

I'm almost 6 mo this out. I eat lots of Protein and take all the Vitamins. I guess there is nothing to so but endure it. I read that it's due to just loosing weight. The drop in nutrition / calories is what starts the process.

I will see my Doct later this month an will ask about how many calories we should be eating to continue weight loss but minimize loss of nutrition.

Just wanted to know if any of you have had this discussion with your surgeon or NUT???

I currently eat about 800 cal a day.

      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!
