I had the same "cry" but it didn't last long b/c we have to re-direct and sip, sip, get your Protein down and sleep and rest and recover. Walking a few times per day. Just think one day at a time. Don't get too far ahead. The sad feeling leaves faster than it hits. We are going to be HEALTHY! I know you will feel better and better! Hang in there, better days ahead....

Love the advice. Thanks so much.

No I was craving weird things during my liquid phase haha those cravings are gone now. But I have had tuna scrambled eggs I smashed up like a big piece of shrimp. Not the best idea I haven't had. Haha I've had some sugar free Water ice. Mashed cauliflower was okay. This isn't all in one day either lol I am excited for soft foods tho. KFC grilled chicken sounds amazing!!! lol thanks for giving me that to think about

Yes my buddy who talked me into the sleeve said the ONLY fast food she ever allows (she is 1 yr down and 105 lbs lost) she gets two grilled chix legs and green Beans and from chic-fil-a she gets the kids meal grilled nuggets and fruit or apple sauce Id love the club without the sauce and the bread but that's a pipe dream think I'll stick to the grilled leg haha

I get headaches when I know I have not eaten enough. I am cleared to workout and I want to but I'm nervous about getting enough calories in. I don't dont get enough in as it is. I don't know who much I have lost this week because I had my hubby hide the scale. It wasnt moving and I hate that. So its better to just forget about the scale right now when I know my body is holding for dear life. The first week out of surgery was super hard. I'm glad I feel normal again. I hate when I eat something and get two bites in and then I am full for 4 hours after that. It makes me nervous for when I can eat whatever I want. Anyway. I love this forum so I can hear how everyone else is doing. Its great to know your not alone.

I got sleeved on the 5th and it wasnt that painful the first few days. after i came home i started to feel the pain, specially the gas pains. Swallowing is a totally new experience. If i take a sip thats to big the pain i get in my chest from pain is so bad.

I cant wait for it to get better. Its not that i regret it, oh no, it just that its like learning to eat all over again. I have started to write down none scale victories. I want to exercise again, i want to play sports again, and most of all play with my kids without feeling tired

.

Wow, that could have been written by me, word for word. Its really nice knowing other people are experiencing the same thing! I was sleeved on the 11th and have had precisely the same experiences...still totally worth it, but I am looking forward to healing from the surgery and moving on with real life. Thanks for the post.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
