I’ve been sleeved since 9/24/2019. To date I’ve lost about 107lbs. I never seemed to have any issues with food or anything for a while but lately for the pas few months I’ve been having bouts of severe chest pains. So bad I can hardly move. Often they are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Can’t say that it’s what I eat because often times it comes after eating foods I’ve eaten the entire time since being sleeved like eggs avocado and I usually have no issues. This morning for example I woke up like this. I have had an endoscopy done which found no problems. Today I’ve tried taking an antacid and a gas pill and I’m finding a really no relief. I’ve been laying here in bed all morning with a heating pad trying to get it to pass. Doctors really have nothing to tell me. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I am considering a move from LA Fitness to crunch Fitness. CF has Skytu scans. Anyone with experience with these body scanners, especially as used by Crunch Fitness? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using BariatricPal mobile app

Warm drinks and patience 💙 Congratulations 💙

I have completed this feast - Way to much of a freakin head game for me to cook for all these people, but I am glad i did it and the feast is set to be served in a few hours, No i cant eat carbs or heavy foods right now but I am only 4 months pre Op - I would heave it up, but some of the veterans around here will jump in. Two spoons of my stuffing and i would be screwed, It was not as bad as i thought it would be and my kids are happy - Now its time for me to sip some vodka and hide by the TV. Let them graze and one thing for sure - THEY ARE TAKING EVERY BIT OF THE LEFTOVERS OUT OF THIS HOUSE - It was just a learning experience but i quickly seperated myself from the food and just did it as a job, If I did not due the surgery I would most likely never be able to do this for my grandkids, so i twisted it around in my head and vodka can fix the rest of the mental issues.

I’m a binger and then restricter and wash and repeat. I’ve been this way all my life. Never had problems with weight until after kids. I’ve been seeing my psych - the one my surgeon had us see for eval. It seems to help but I’m worried long term myself. She assured me that the sleeve will really help me with this. She had WLS years ago and said it helped tremendously with her own eating disorder- she use to eat a ton when no one was around and hide all evidence. So, I have some faith. I don’t have much imput, as I’m in around the same phase as you in WLS but I’m here if you ever need to talk.

I was never a person with a sweet tooth (I preferred salty things more), but now I find that I more easily gravitate towards the sweet stuff. However, this only seemed to happen when I introduced sweetness into my diet. During weight loss phase I was still pretty ambivalent towards dessert, but since going into maintenance and allowing myself some, I actually think I want it more. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well that's a vague question. Every one had different amount of days. Different rules and calories allowed. I did my own diet total of 9 weeks with surgery tomorrow I've lost 64lbs that's roughly 7lbs a week mostly shakes & no sugar. No junk. NO cheating. Low calories low carbs!! (some tuna or veg or fruit) It all comes down to how strict you are through out that process and of course you have to continue to work hard post op!

10/29 here, hopefully depending on insurance

I’m scheduled for 10/29. Haven’t started the pre-op yet. Not until the 15th.

Sounds Great. I am going to try this recipe this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
