Wonderful start to 2014. So grateful to have had my VSG. I have never felt so good! Still trying to think of a catchy name for my sleeve. :)

Awesome...I feel like I can deal with and cope better with this change by accepting that my sleeve will be temperamental and that I have to completely re-learn a part of my body that i knew so well....reminds me of being pregnant with twins and not knowing what had taken over me...lol

Let me know when you name yours too, Felipe needs as many friends as she can find..

Wow I never thought about naming my sleeve. I will have to think about coming up with a name for him/her. Since i'm a guy I guess I would have to name it a masculine gender? All I know is my sleeve has been very good to me. I am so thankful that I was lucky in that I have had very little complications and the surgery and recovery and my journey has been so wonderful. I hope that for the new year it is the same for you all. Now to come up with a name??????

Hello Everyone, Happy New Year! I have named my pouch Lovey because I am treating her like a newborn baby. This helps me to not force her to eat more than is comfortable. Also, with newborns, you have a period of adjustment and you learn by trial and error. This visual has helped me. Today is a snow day for me so I think I will look through my cookbooks and discover a couple of new Protein rich recipes to try this month. Have a great day!

Thats the ticket! I think naming the sleeve helps us remember that it is 'different', a whole new, very temperamental part of the body. Sometimes you might not even understand what's going on, but I just chalk it up to Jelly being a DIVA. One of my friends named her sleeve Wicked. Wicked don't let her do ANYTHING bad. LOL. He just won't tolerate it!

Haha...no...it doesn't have to be a boy.....whatever fits its personality.....that was my criterion....:-)

Everyone told me early on that the new tummy would be temperamental so i knew she was getting a name....shes actually named after the horse in the movie "beauty and the beast," - we can help you come up with a name...its fun :-)

      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.
