Okay, not to be premature... after all, I am only 6 days out from surgery ...If your an expert, please evaluate this. I started out at 308 then lost 15 on the liquid diet before surgery. After surgery. I was 312. Today I am 283. Numbers aside, I have had so much energy that I am a bit freaked out. And could it be that I am loving my mile daily walks? I am struggling every day just to discern all these new physical sensations. Hunger, fullness, gas, pain, all feel different. And now I am going into emotional overdrive because I can't believe that I have all this energy and am already wearing some of my old clothes. So, seeing 2 anything on the scale is like proof that I must be tripping. I don't want to Jinks it. What part of the game is this?

Update- feeling better. Wish I wasn't so lazy
but I am getting those steps in! I ran the other day and played soccer with my son. That's what it's all for. Down 36 pounds so far from surgery on Dec 26th. Mobile VST sucks because I can only read, can't update 
Luv u guys! More to come! -
Back at work...missed it here...mostly. Still could do without a few of these grumpy pants folks! I actually had a woman scoff at me...like "Oh, you look nice." As if I am supposed to be punished for it. The lesson; those are the people NOT to tell about your journey. Just let them scoff from the sidelines of your life. All glory to GOD!

Please Tell Me...
Mrs.Prisses replied to favoredone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And we ALL know we don't want anything to do with "STALL"! Keep eating and moving! Then when your all done moving, drink some Protein shake. Then move some more. At night when the cravies come...go yourself to sleep. The best way to avoid cravings is to keep moving so that you can sleep at night like your supposed to. food is all around us and will always be. They took our tummies, not our taste buds. I will never be cured of my desire for Church's chicken, but, I will be strong enough to resist it. I will because I know that its going to go to my body and do absolutely NOTHING good. I am in charge now and I say what goes in me MUST do something good FOR me. That being said...I also have found some yummy substitutes for some old unhealthy favorites. -

Yea, a lot of it is mental. We are used to eating and gaining weight. With this sleeve, its like I am always eating or drinking something, thus, will not lose weight. But, if you just "feel" your food work; like after you eat then go for a walk. After that, you will have the feeling of so much energy. When you get your protein in, its even better. Its like you can feel your food being energy. So now, as odd as it seems, food is your friend. Just make healthy choices, stick to doctors orders no matter what. I have been eating and exercising, which makes me hungry for my next meal. Its the only way to get the food down. Not to mention, for me anyway, eating is still somewhat uncomfortable. I am still learning to eat slow and in very small bits at a time. I still have not eaten until I feel "Full" yet. I use a time limit of 30 min. What ever has gotten down is whats going down. As always, if your body feels wrong, then take a step back in your diet and call the surgeon. We are all different and so are our sleeves! Best wishes to you! -

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Yesterday
Mrs.Prisses replied to Mrs.Prisses's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am having a hard time telling on feeling from another. Is it pain? Hunger? Fullness? Gas? And what's with all the nosebleeds? Why does eating make me sleepy? Why is the smallest stitch the one that hurts? Did really gain weight? Ok...that's all for now lol. Nap time. Thanks to you experts for the help getting to know my sleeve. -
Gastric Sleeve Surgery Yesterday
Mrs.Prisses replied to Mrs.Prisses's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am at my parents house now so I can use the lap top. My phone sucks right now lol. I am so sore and achy but I am really ready to swim or even do the water fitness. I wish I would have known how intense this pain and gas was going to be, though. I don't know WHAT i am feeling. I feel hunger, gas, pain, soreness, more gas, all at once lol. I felt hungry, took meds then felt nothing. Lots of nose bleeds too. BUT,,, This is so awesome! I am just going to ride the wave. I know my body has to regulate itself, I am going to be patient with it. My ticker is tripping but I don't care right now, Just so hyped up lol. -
Sleeved for 2 days now, I hurt everywhere. My family has been so very supportive. I love them all! I think I was hungry this morning but the liquid pain meds took all the room up. Even sipping on water causes me pain...whats up with this gas lol. Its like mutant morph gas...its everywhere and only gets bigger!

Post-gastric Sleeve Surgery: Any Ideas For Crunchy Snacks To Munch On?
Mrs.Prisses replied to bethk12@gmail.com's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
They have some really great varieties of veggie chips! Try that. They are just dehydrated veggies. -
Had a cup of coffee for breakfast, a mango smoothie and soup for lunch...The funny thing is, I'm okay. I guess knowing that its a means to an end makes it better. But, stay tuned...the liquid diet will truly be a challenge at Christmas dinner. We BBQ every year...and it's the day before surgery. YIKES!
