Guess what today is!! It's November 15th--our one-month sleeversary!

Happy Anniversary October 15th Sleevers!!

We've come a long way! There have been tough times' date=' and there are more to come, but we've had good times, too. Consider where we were two months ago. Remember the excitement you felt knowing your life was going to change soon? You made the decision to take control of your life--to live it on your own terms, and not let fear or cravings or hunger dictate your actions.

You took a huge leap of faith. And that faith WILL pay off. We believed it then & we have to believe it now. We CAN do this!! We have already come so far. Promise yourself you will not give up...you are worth the effort.

It's hard to believe that we're already a month on the other side!! No huge loses on the scale but I FEEL IT on my body, and I'm sure everyone else does too...it really is shrinking!

I'm finally on soft foods and figuring out this water/protein/food thing a bit better. And I feel like I'm "out of the woods" so to speak on the big, major complications.

All in all, I'm so happy with my decision and we are rockin' our sleeves, y'all!!!! :D

Well, I had my 1st "bad" sleeve experience last night. I had a small avocado for dinner; no issues. Then DH asked if I wanted a little bit of turkey sausage.

It was very lean and not spicy, and he cut me four very thin pieces. I chewed the hell out of them and ate really slowly, and they went down fine.

THEN, about 5 minutes later I got such horrible chest pain that I was in tears. It didn't matter what I did, I got no relief and it scared me. I never vomited or slimed but I was miserable for almost an hour.

Not sure if it was the spices in the sausage or I over-ate, but it really got my attention. I wish I knew what caused it so I could avoid it in the future.

I have lost almost 30 lbs so far but only 3 in the past 2 weeks. It was really discouraging and I wanted to quit but then I remembered my stomach was in a biohazard bin somewhere :-/.

I had popcorn yesterday at the twilight movie and it felt great. I have been starving myself of all the food I loved until I couldnt stand it. I think moderation is much better for me than complete avoidance.

I started a 26 @ 289lbs and now my 24s are too big but 22s are uncomfortable on my hips when buttoned. How about you?

20 by Christmas would be great!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person 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.
