I keep getting asked how much do you weight? My response is always OMG, you don't ask a lady that. So they begin to guess or ask me how much I've lost then proceeded by what was my heaviest weight, so they can do the math. No one has guessed correct, so I thought I'd ask fellow sleevers..I'm 5'7 1/2, How much do you think I weight??? & u don't have to be nice, I want honest answers.

A year later way over 100 lbs gone & I still see the same fat person in the mirror & pictures. I told my husband that I went to the store & grabbed all small shirts & they all fit, he said "it feels good doesn't it?" I replied "it just felt very weird" I'm overwhelmed at work by all the people that daily say how good I look & I don't see it.

I Felt fine until Last Wednesday when he removed my drain. Now I feel so week, I get light headed unless I'm sitting. Just going from the couch to the bathroom is a weird feeling. I went to the store with my husband yesterday & had to leave after 10 minutes because I couldn't stand anymore. I thought it may of been not enough protein or water but know I'm able to get my requirements in and still feel week. 9 days post op.

What Did You Wish You Knew Before Surgery
Jjen replied to Almostthere34's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What I wish I was told before surgery is that each incision was going to be 2 cuts instead of 1. My hysterectomy scars are just 1 & my VSG scars are 2. Anyone else have this? -
Put 6 pounds of something in your shirt. That's what I did several years ago at a consult before I found out my insurance didn't pay for it & had to put it off. The doc I went & seen didn't even require me to take my jacket off to weigh so it was easy.

A Little Trick To Spruce Up Protein Shakes
Jjen replied to ChristineS NY's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
How much of the pudding mix does everyone use -
Was sleeved last Thursday & I can't get my required amount of water or protien down. Yesterday I worked on a 23oz bottle of water from morning to night & still had some left. Protein drink I the same. It hurts to sip or drink anything. Even 1 oz shots of fluids will go down but it's like instant heart attack pains. I'm taking prevacid "that I never had to take before" I know it will eventually get better it's tuff. I am not hugary at all but I make myself sip water & set my phone alarm to try broth or soups or yogurt & I only get about 3 spoonfuls of that stuff & I can't handle anymore. Anyone else had this problem?

My "New Birthday" was the 12 @ Frisco Texas, I got home today & I just now went & weighed myself & I'm up 10 pounds more then I was Thursday morning. Someone please tell me that it's just the IV fluids & my weight will go down. Very disappointing, cause I know I've only had water, broth & juice & not very much of it.

Sleeved 4/12/12, just got home from hospital. Before surgery I would only get heartburn like twice a year but water & broth are givin me heartburn. Tomorrow I can go to my protein shakes & yogurt, maybe that won't give me heartburn.
