THANKS ANDKEL30. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR PROGRESS!

2/17/09 was my sleeved date. Thanks!!! before an after

congrats and welcome to the losers bench! you will do great with your sleeve. the body pillow and recliner are what helped me sleep the 1st week after the surgery. after that i was able to sleep like i used to before the surgery(all over the place) :biggrin: .. this site has everything you need to know about your sleeve,what to eat and drink as well as any issues you may have. i started off at 619lbs and today i weighed in at 372lbs. i absolutely agree with not weighing yourself everyday. it will discourage you but trust me the weight will start dropping off fast with you really not noticing it. im still dealing with the mental part of being a new person. you will still see that same overweight person in the mirror but realistically you are not that person anymore. looking forward to following your journey. keep us updated! CONGRATS AGAIN LOSER!!! JUST FYI(LOSER MEANS YOU ARE A WEIGHT LOSER NOW!)LOL. NOTHING NEGATIVE... :Banane57:

LATE POST!! IF YOU HAVEN'T DECIDED ALREADY I WOULD ABSOLUTELY SAY START WITH THE SLEEVE PERIOD!!!! LIKE SAID IN EARLIER REPLY YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK FOR THE COMPLETE RNY. I STARTED OFF AT 619LBS. NOW IM AT 375LBS. THIS INCLUDES THE DR. PRESCRIBED DIET, liquid DIET AND THEN THE SLEEVE SURGERY! IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE 250LBS. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!

CONGRATS!! WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR PROGRESS.. TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME! :Banane57:

DORRIE, if you could repost that i would be grateful!! :Angel_anim:

YEA I LOST MY NEW TOPIC AND MY PICS!! SMH!!! GOTTA TRY TO GET THEM BACK UP NOW!!! SO SAD :blush2:

im just glad we are back up and running!! :Banane57:

i have that same issue. i went to my dietician and she said if you drink to soon after eating it just washes the food you just ate out of your sleeved stomach which makes you hungry again sooner. also on the flip side if you drink to much right before you eat then you are leaving little room in your stomach for food before you get full. always drink 1 hour before or 1 hour after eating. never at the same time or within minutes of each other. hope that helps!

Lol.. Yes, his name is ice cube! Thanks for the compliment. looking forward to chatting and seeing more pics of you as well.
