Top 10 Things I Have Learned in My First Sleeved Week.



Recommended Posts

In my first 7 days being sleeved, the top 10 things I have learned :

1) In the world of competitive sleeping, I am a Gold Medalist. I can (& do) nap anytime, anywhere.

2) I am hanging up my stethoscope. My new fulltime job is to "sip, sip, sip". Staying hydrated is hard work.

3) The sounds coming from my new stomach are not lady like.

4) I am no longer a bashful burper.

5) Daytime TV sucks.

6) Not every belly twinge is a potential leak. I am a nurse, so I always look at the worst case health scenarios first. Hard habit to break.

7) Isopure gags me, but is tolerable if made into SF Jello.

8) Old Navy makes super comfy yoga pants, even if I never assume a "Lotus" pose.

9) Clear liquid diets are doable for a few days. My favorite flavor is blue.

and last, but definitely not least, as a wise forum member once advised me:

10) Never trust a shart! :rolleyes:

I would like to add a #11 to your wonderful list.

#11

~ The last bite that you know will put you over the edge, will haunt you for at least 30 minutes after.

(Took me a few times to learn that lesson!!!!) The worst was an egg roll!!!! Burping up pork & cabbage is not fun!!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
