Haha no promblemo Joni Thanks for all your inputs so far. : )

Thanks foxycici!!!!! Hope all is well

Thanks for the response FindingMyself I'm located in southern New Jersey

Thanks for the compliment!!! : )

No problems with either whatsoever!!!!

You can definately ruin your sleeve.... Although you will never be able to eat the amounts you used to I know that anybody can easily eat 3,4,5,000 calories a day if they ate crap like ice cream (slider foods) and all that!!! If you are conscious of what you put in your mouth you will never lose to much track and will be able to have those days where you can relax a little... Working out is a must.... We don't want to be skinny fat people... Tone up an slim down at the same time so the process is smooth sailing and look half way decent when we get down to goal weight.... But yes some of the stuff they say is silly talk but for the most part it is all great advice... My secret if I'm gonna go off course a little is to eat a salad or veggies before my guilty pleasure and I get full and my calorie intake wasn't all that bad...

@yoshikitty Yes I slip up all the time but do my best to do the right things but if I want to go out to eat for a special outing I won't hold back and say I can't.... Don't use that word anymore and just keep co conscious of what I eat and make sure I bust my tail at the gym.....

Thanks a ton... : )

Thanks everyone!!! Means a lot. : ) Still about 35 lbs to go and some tightening up to do but I'm in no rush.... Everything will fall into place if I just keep training and stay focused!!! You guys rock!!!!! Make life happen!!!!

I had my follow up appt with the surgeon and am officially down 28lbs..... I have been the same for a few days now so maybe this is a stall? Started on mush foods so maybe the weight is slowing down!!! Best decision of my life.... So far! I have been getting like a tight spasm feeling when I eat some foods (mushes tuna, cottage cheese etc) but does that get better?

On YouTube.... From my pre admission testings to surgery day before and after to my weigh in post op videos.... I'm hoping my videos can help others!!! http://www.YouTube.com/moneymotivated007 Let me know what you guys think. : )

Hey everyone.... starting from once you were able to start eating solid foods give me an example of what you will eat on any given day and how much!!! This should be interesting. : ) Thanks

I was sleeved on the 20th two days ago and I am not even near being hungry and also when I see those lovely fast food commercials that I used to drool over no longer effects me and I actually get turned off.... Anybody else experience this after surgery?

Wow this isn't much food at all that you guys are eating.... I was hoping to start the whole lean cuisine thing... Greek yogurt in the am wrap for lunch and lean cuisine for dinner protein included in everything.... Getting a little nervous that a couple crackers and a grape will be all I can fit and never be able to enjoy food again!!! : /

@rainydayz. I hear yah!!! When I posted this it was a couple days ago and now all I'm thinking of is Food... Especially the week and half until my mushy phase arrives which I'm making a batch of garlic cauliflower mash (same as mashed potatoes including taste and without the carbs) and I can't way to start eating real food again... I guess since our stomachs are so swollen at first nothing phases us then that kinda goes away.... Having trouble with my pritein shots I bought because they are do nasty... Buying alot of coconut water (not juice) to help replace some of the good stuff in my body.. (potassium, electrolytes,etc)

These gas pains are the worst ever and walking didn't help!!! Ughhh. Stuck in the hospital with gasx strips either.... Any suggestions?

Well my surgery is tomorrow morning and my doc required 1 measly day of liquids only and here I am binging and stuffing my fat face like usual... Tired of food taking over my life. How deep in poo am I because of this? : /
