I definitely still have cravings but they are so much easier to deal with. I eat a forkful of my chicken and mashed avocado and feel dull and satisfied. I now keep some mashed and ready in the fridge.

Ok kind of an odd question, but for some reason I seem to have lost the urge to pee? I have to remind myself to go sit on the toilet and I will pee. But as far as the feeling of needing to pee, it is nonexistent now. Is that bad? And it's only been since I got home from the hospital. Because there were a few times where I definitely needed to pee when I was there. Are things swollen and maybe effecting it? Or am I just not drinking enough to get that sensation anymore? It's kinda weirding me out.

I have the same thing! It's getting better, but I usually just go try and pee every few hours, regardless if I feel I have to. Although lately it could be because I'm pretty dehydrated. But in the beginning it was pretty weird. I guess I'm just used to it now. Ha.

But it was even like that in the hospital, even when hooked up to the IV, I never had the sensation.

I did have about a day and a half of this, but it was while I was dealing with the awesome yeast infection I got.

Hi. I'm getting sleeved on April 8th. I'm excited but worried I will still have strong chocolate cravings after. Any advice?

So far the choc. chewable vitamins are controlling my cravings. Anymore than that I cannot deal with. Not liking anything sweet right now at all

I tried this tonight, with a little salsa and OMG it was soooo good.

Well good to know I'm not alone, but still baffling! I'm just going to assume that my liquid intake isn't anywhere where it used to be, so I guess I'm not going to be needing to go as much.

And a little PSA: I've never been so happy to eat Tomato Soup in all my life <3

Tomato Soup is the only thing I've eaten in the last 2.5 weeks that I could still eat right now. I love tomato soup. A trick I've learned is put some garlic salt or Mrs dash garlic and herb, and a little parmesean cheese. Yum!

I was sleeved yesterday and am writing this from my hospital bed.

I woke up from surgery absolutely writhing in pain and so nauseous. Everyone told me it would be awful. It was.

However the behind the ears nausea patch and delaudid kicked in about 2 hours later. Since then zero nausea and low pain (1-2 on the pain scale) has been max. Oh, and the fact that I've only had ice chips and it hasn't bothered me at all is mind blowing! I should have been starving by now. You read in all the forums about lack of hunger, but feeling it for yourself is unreal.

In short, this has been way easier than I ever thought possible. The leak test is coming up qickly. So maybe I am sitting here leaking inside and not at all in good shape. Lol. But if that leak testing determines I am A-okay, I am declaring knee surgery to be a TON worse than VSG!!!

Fingers crossed that the leak test results are good.

Game on!

Yes still I'm hospital bed. And most definitely would recommend the patch ("scopolamine"). The patch has kept all nausea at bay. In fact he sent me home with some more.

Super sleepy thou. I hope to write more as I am able.

      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!!

        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...
