So is anyone else having relationship issues? Today I had a meeting at work. I get dressed up and do my hair and make up' date=' like every day. I had to drop something off to my husband at his work and he said you look so good. I said thank you and he continued to complement me. I said thanks again and he said who let you out the house looking that good. I just rolled my eyes because he says that all the time. I tell him I had to go and kiss him good bye. I start to drive away and he acts like he is throwing a fishing line and reeling it back in. I look at him and I say what are you doing? He said your going fishing and I got mad. I told him that he is nuts. His insecurity from his prior relationship is rearing its ugly head. I have been a faithful wife for 22 years. I lost weight get a grip. I am still the same person just in smaller clothes. Really, I still weigh 250 lbs. What is going to happen when I get smaller? Anyone out there dealing with this please let me know.[/quote']

I kinda notice a difference with my guy as well. But he doing the distances game, i see his face when others comment on my weigh loss, he stares at me when he think im not looking..he like what he see but he worried that others see it to is what im thinking....well thats on him, im not going to hold his hand this was discussed over and over b4 surgery, so its no surprise, im lossing but im still me...but a better healthy me, who now thats take care of my needs finally....

Wow amazing I too was sleeved on 6/24 I'm having an issue with some food I have not been on a scale either I can see I'm losing inches but I'm having issues finding food any suggestions?

I went to my hospital support group and someone told me about putting Protein Powder into sf pudding. It's good and its really increased my Protein total. I was sleeved 6/25/13 and wasn't losing like I thought I should be and since I increased my protein I've started losing

How much powder do you put into the pudding? How much pudding do you eat a day? Thanks! I am having trouble getting my protein in too, the shakes are horrible. They were ok the first two weeks but I am so over them. I didn't have to do a preop Protein Shake diet but I can't imagine having had to do that then afterwards too! I orders some nectar and I'm gonna try that and hope I like it!

When I did the sf pudding, I put one scoop of the protein powder in. One scoop is only 10 grams of protein. I guess I could had put more, but was a fraid of tasting the powder. I can't stand the smell of it. Good luck.

Hi! If I'm having just an ounce if Greek yogurt I throw in just a tsp. Of unflavored Protein powder. Same with cottage cheese and other things like that. It doesn't add a ton of protein each time but during a whole day it helps me get my protein in. I don't like gritty....so for me I just started out with a half tsp....saw it wasn't bad...then added another half....I actually like the Isopure unflavored protein powder. Many do not...but I mix mine with skim milk. And add an once of toscana sf syrups to give it a different flavor each time.....I try to start my day with the shake and it normally takes me till lunch to drink the 12 oz. But that gets me my first 60 in for protein...then for lunch I have Greek yogurt...that has 13 grams of protein per 5 oz, plus I add the protein powder that (for 5 oz I usually put a tsp per oz). So that gets me a little more protein....then for dinner usually chicken....and safe my sf pudding for my dessert, but still add a tsp per oz of protein to that too. It becomes a game with me....how can I sneak my protein in with this? I am having a hard time with liquids...working so hard on the protein...always full....gotta wait to drink.....a vicious cycle! I was sleeved on June 24th and down 23 pounds. My Dr told me I most likely will not lose much between weeks 3 and 6 because thus is about the time body says hey wait....is this just another diet or is she really making good choices? We've treated our bodies to so many yoyo eating habits....doesn't know the stomach is not the same etc.... I thought that was a great way to put it! Sorry for the book!

So far I can comfortably eat soft scrambled eggs/egg whites, cottage cheese, dark meat chicken or chicken salad, meatballs...but my problem is I'm still not getting enough Protein in... I'm just not hungry and honestly I think I'm afraid of eating more and gaining my pre surgery appetite back. What are you eating?

      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
