I Know People Mean Well But... A Tiny Vent

Does your boss know about the WLS? If not, are you comfortable telling them? I finally told my boss because sometimes we have to chow our food for lunch because we don't have time. I told her, "Look, I NEED at LEAST 30 minutes for my lunch and this is why". No problems since. -

Calling Experienced Sleevers - - Tell Me It Gets Better?!
Less of Leslie replied to vsgm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 12/5. The WHOLE first month SUCKS. That is the ugly truth. It does get SOOOO much better. I can eat what I want, just very small portions, which is OK. It is a learning experience and you have to adjust to your new body. I would do it over again ...and again, and again. NO REGRETS. Focus more on your fluid intake right now. That is the main thing you should work on for the 1st week. Sip, sip, sip and WALK, WALK, WALK. It really does help. This stage is only temporary and it will be a distant memory very soon! Good luck and keep on truckin'! -

I wish I would have known how tired I would be post-op. I'm 2 months out and much better than 1 month ago. My energy is coming back, but I did not expect to be sooooo tired after surgery. AND I AM FREEEEZZZZZING ALL THE TIME!! NO ONE told me that! I used to ALWAYS be so hot (all that fat storage! LOL), now, I am one of those girls that is always cold. I use to get irratated by those girls, always wanting the heater on....now that's ME! LOL! -
Walmart Veggies-Grossest Thing/warning
Less of Leslie replied to Joiebean's topic in Food and Nutrition
Their meat is disgusting too. I have bought ground beef and carne asada steaks, and when I cook them, they smell and taste SOUR! I only shop there for frozen name brands and boxed goods. Stay away from anything "fresh" at WalMart. -

I drove after 4 days. I was getting cabin fever and needed to GET OUT! I wasn't on pain meds either. I wouldn't have been able to drive on the meds.

SF Jello was a staple for me post-op. SF Popsicles are great too! Make sure they are not the SF fruit bars, those have seeds in them. You want a SF POPSICLE. Congrats!

I'm interested! I live in Carmichael. There was no link at the end of the post. I know me and a friend of mine would do it. We are pretty tough! :boxing: -
December 2011 Sleevers Update
Less of Leslie replied to ChunkyAndFluffy75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved Dec 5. Down 30 lbs. I measured myself on 12/30 and then again a few days ago, lost 6 3/4 inches in the last month! Really wish I would have measured on surgery day. I am FINALLY in the onderlands! Weighed in at 199.4 on Sunday. Pants from a 22 to 16+- ..Depending on the day. Shirts from 1&2 X shirts to XL. My rings spin on my fingers, my fave ring falls off. I am losing about 1-3 lbs a week. That's OK, as long as I am LOSING! I see others that have lost 40+ and I wonder what I am not doing right, but I think my weight loss is pretty steady, so I am happy. Eating Protein and veggies. No carbs. Every once in a while I will have a bite of carbs, but that's about it. No sweets. Sleevie doesn't like it. NO Protein shakes, I don't like them! My work out schedule is not very regular. 1 hour of cardio and weights when I do work out. -

Eating Does Get Better....4 Weeks Post Op
Less of Leslie replied to Mr_Worm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Isn't week 4 GREAT!!? I remember week 3 and I ate guacamole...I ate guacamole for like 4 days!! Just to be able to have something solid to eat. it was soooooo good!! Wow, it seems so long ago. The 1st month is the pitts, but that is where you will lose the weight the fastest. After week 4, it's a breeze! -
