single lady over here, pound dropper, and getting lots of attention from men.. but i turn them down cus i dont know how to act lol... i like being single.. for now.. but we can talk... lol

i havent had grits yet, but i love cream of wheat hmmm... but for some reason eggs dont sit good on my sleeve, i can only eat half an egg n i feel full then my it starts hurting like crazy. this at 3 weeks, i tried again this morning n the same thing the pain lasted for 1 hour..then i drank it off..

congrats!!!!

i agree with Dooter... and CONGRATS!!!!

same here guys, after my first two weeks of being sleeved i lost a total of 14 pounds, then the third week as i introduced pureed foods (i follow a list which my nut gave me, tells me what i should be eating each week) n my weight loss stopped, i was like omg should i go back to full liquids.. then i either went down 1 pound, n then over night i gained 3 pounds n i stayed there for almost the whole week.. wow i just realized it wasn't that long lol felt like forever!. this is my fourth week n it was on Wednesday morning that i weight my self that the scale went down 1.5 pounds yay!.. n then the today i was tempted to weight myself again..so i did lol.. n down another 1.5 pounds.. which is awesome! i havent been able to drink the whole 64oz, n meet the require 80g of protein per day.. just half.. maybe thats y my weight have staled.. n losing inches yay size 14! plus i havent been walking like i used too.. so them 1.5 pounds are like miracles to me. i know i need to put my part n break the old habits, n don't let them creep back in. so i started a garden 2 weeks ago, n yesturday i went outside to plant them in soil, my plants are soo cute.. i am growing watermelon, cantaloupe, tomato, parsly, corn, mixed lettuce leaves.. n thats it.. lol so i broke a sweat from that. but i know i have to push it more.. so hoping my appointment goes well .. will be one month out in april 5, i want to exercise so bad, cardio! .. so yea.. i have those days too.. sometimes we have to "GET UP N DO IT"

hey family, i am so glad to be home after staying in the hospital for 3 days because i could not drink 10z of liquids that i was suppose to drink on my last day on tuesday.. i was sleeved on the 5th of march at 10:30 am.. wasnt bad, woke up with pain, short of breath but i got up and walked.. so now i am home, yesturday i struggled getting past 1/4 of a cup and it took me the whole day to drink 10z of isopure, so i did not make it past the 64 oz water or liquid intake, nor the protein.. so today i started off kinda better than yestuday. i set a schedule for 5 meals, n 30 mins between i could take my liquids.. i waked for 2 hour out side, kinda breesy so i came back inside.. so i am having a hard time when drinking and theses cheawable gas x pills i feel are not helping,.. i have pressure on my chest when i breath, that i didnt feel yesturday n it hurts when i drink even if its half a teaspoon.. never the less, i managed to drink my first meal 4oz of orginal soy milk, which was like heaven to taste but when it went down omg wat a pain.. its bearable but i just hope my tummy heals that way i can really start my proteins.. n heated liquids i feel go down better than cold.. i cant take cold ice, it doesnt settle with my tummy.. any tips n advice will be more than welcomed and appreciated.. i am totally new now lol still happy with my choice!

Thanks girl!!! Yay I got my doc appointment this Friday for the month op. Will power my friend is hard but u have to do it for u! . Like they once told me two weeks will go by fast n girl ten pounds that's great!

get it boy! lol fabulous

Yay congratulations on ur new stomach!!!

Same here going thru some what the same so I decided to make my favorite dishes just smaller but using fat free or sugar free ingredients n high in protein. Trying to get all my protein from meals I do 5 small meals a say. Sometimes I start with a protein shake just to boost up my intake. A shake counts as a meal. So watch ur calories

i too had to two weeks liquid diet.. n who does not love eating? it was long but well worth it, i lost 17 pounds with those shakes, i had vanilla n strawberry.. not a big fan of chocolate unless its not artificial.. but yea u get tired of them.. i had all 5 a day . also the diet is to help u get used to consuming 5 meals a day .. every 3 hours. so far so good i will be a month out on the 5 of april.. man time flies!..

u can start that on ur third week, just remember to chew, chew, chew.. i had baked a whole fish today.. i saved some for tomorrow lol... it was sooo good!.. went down good with no problem. also had 1 teaspoon of pumpkin .

I sure they do sip for like 2 or 3 hours because right now i am 3 weeks post op going to be 4 on monday..n i can drink 8oz in about 20 to 30 mins, i don't rush it because then i tend to dump all the water.. which has happened before.. so once u get to know ur sleeve n how much liquid u can tolerate at a time, u will be fine.. how with solids depending on what it is i can do 2 oz -3 oz n get full.. i pause for like 10mins n finish the other oz if its high in protein other than that when i am full i stop.. n i do 5 meals a day 3 hours between ... n every 30mins sip sip... fill my pouch with liquid then wait 30 n again to get all my daily intake of 64oz or higher.. right now i am half way there lol.. ;ike 32 oz .. n just made 40 protein..which means i got to step up my game.

omg, i love Mexican food especially rolled tacos filled with chicken covered with fresh cabbage salad tomato cilantro splash of lemon juice, topped with some spicy tomato sauce n sour cream. hmmm... i know how to make em very tempted the only thing saving me is that i don't have the ingredients in my fridge n i don't want to walk to the super market because is sooo hot outside. its not a secret but hey.. oooh wait.. i was around downtown the other day n went to cvs n bought me some sugar free /gluten free chocolate chip cookies n some sugar free gluten free short bread cookies n man o man.. i am not suppose to snack but i have been very naughty....

i went to iron sushi on monday.. :wub: i only could eat one california roll. . no one in my family likes sushi so the other 7 rolls r sitting in the fridge.. felt so bad buying the damn thing.. i could only eat one. . it was so good. . but now i know, u cant eat with ur eyes.. the mouth might be big but the stomach is small.. so hmmm... i got some rolls if u want em..

i think u can enjoy many meal, just 1/2 a cup of it, so u can do 2 oz of ur protein maybe 1 veg or starch n 1 fruit or something sweet?.. unless u wait 30mins n continue to gorge on the whole plate.. ...would not recommend it.. stop when ur full. take ur time eating...

i would stay with the same plate for a while n then switch it over with a soup, move it around lay back oooh i am soo full.. then end dinner with some jello ..

well screw them lol by the time ur ready to shop for sexy clothes u wont want to shop at TarJey lol.. cant wait to spend my day at the mall.. going window shopping tomorrow lol take a few pics wat the hell try em on too lol...

wow lol,, my local target has a section for plus size lol.. they usually go on clearance alot but more new clothing come n always have a full stock.. besides the price the clothes are the same like the ones in the junior or women section. so thts good i guess.. there are alot of plus size women that shop at my local target so i guess thats why?..

you look amazing!!! keep it up girl!
