Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thank you ladies!

How yall are u?

I'm 6 feet

Happiness. Fitting in a regular sized isolation gown and I could tie the waist and the neck without chocking me. The things you don't realize truly affect your daily lives. Before I had to always order X large gowns and hide them so no one would use them.

Hello all! I am excited that I found this group! I am a 39 year old mother of a handsome eight year old son and a wife of 8 years! I am hoping to get my life back. I have always been a big lady but I found myself at my highest weight. For many years I did phentermine pills but after my son i hated how i felt and the pills stopped working. I just kept adding on the pounds. I was so sad to go to a amusement park and was kicked off a ride because I did not fit. I was sleeved on June 17, 2013 and am excited to say that on July 27, 2013 I got on a ride at the same park with my son! It was snug but I fit! I am excited to have many more experiences like this ????

HI. I am now 6 weeks 4 days out from my sleeve. NOW' date=' I feel like this is a strange question so soon after surgery. but I am just now able to eat ALMOST normal. And I feel like I am eating too much and am kind of scared. I get a little owey if I get a bite or two too much, but never feel sick or anything. My surgeon told me yesterday that I can have as much as 900 calories, and I think I am a bit under that. But still feel worried. Is any June sleevers experiencing that?[/quote']

I did....had the same problem....I thought I made a mistake! Doc says all is well! And now 7 weeks out I'm not eating enough! Go figure! I'm stalled too so double frustration....hang in there!

Started Water aeróbic classes yesterday. Havnt put a Swimsuit on in over 15 years or so. But I did it, and loved the class. Not to shabby for a 52 year old....:-)

You look great and doesn't matter what you do as long as your moving way to go best of luck to you

i was sleeved on 6/24 trying to be more creative in what i eat as it is getting a bit boring but I won't do anything i am not supposed to yet. I had to fly today and flight connecting times were tight, so stopped at McDonalds next to my gate, got a cheeseburger - only ate the meat and cheese with some mustard and the onions.

Thanks for Premier Protein - but hard to take when i fly

But what about Chicken,,, I have heard so many say they struggle with chicken - why is that? is there a best way to have it?

I haven't had any problems with chicken. But I have trouble with beef. As long as u chew it really well it is fine

I have a problem with white meat. My Nut says that a lot of sleevers have this problem and should try to eat dark meat because it tends to be more tender and juicier than white meat and our skeeves are able to handle it better.

I hadn't heard that about chicken. Imagine making it into chicken salad with some light Mayo would help.

Shel in Kansas - Sleeved 5/21/13

I sorta had the same problem the other day. Not flying but I was driving a long distance and hadn't planned for lunch. Stopped at the gas station on my way through towns and roamed forever before I found a lunchable. Great gas station choice. I ate the cheese and meat and tossed the crackers. Filled me up with a little to toss out in the next town. I have also bought jerky, just chew and suck on it a long time. Great protein choices. Keep up the hardwork. This is so going to be worth it. I already feel so much better.
