My Story

Hi, all. I wanted to find a place where i can document everything so this is it. I had my sleeve done on 10/3/17. What amazes me is that what I have experienced seems to follow most people to a T.

The past week-and-a-half was very frustrating as I hit a nine day stall, experienced that slime everyone has spoken of, had a bout of depression where I couldn't stop crying for days, and was so tired I couldn't function once I got home from work. Oh, and the monthly friend I haven't seen in two years came back to visit. I've been having a really hard time getting all of my protein and liquids. I mean I'm lucky if I get one water bottle in an entire day. I am finally able to eat soft foods so it feels like a whole new world has opened up to me. That gourmet meal of fat-free refried beans with some shredded cheese was the one of the best I've ever had. However, both times I tried fish... definitely not something my new stomach likes. It came back up immediately.

Anyway, the happy news is that this morning I woke up bright and early, was finally able to down an entire protein shake, and the scale said I was down two pounds. Oh... and I was able to put on an old pair of jeans two sizes smaller than the day I went in for surgery. Now, technically they are over my butt and can button if I suck in my belly, but they can't be zipped up. I don't care though. They feel good. LOL

I feel so energetic this morning, and these jeans with the two pound loss on the scale was definitely the new motivation I needed. I was really starting to feel down in the dumps, even though in my head I know my loss has been amazing. It was seeing the scale not move coupled with wanting to throw chicken broth out the window that was getting to me. So tonight I plan to increase my walking after work, and hopefully I'll be able to stay awake until 9:00.

Have a great day everyone!
