    Fatigue & Weakness ....

    Today I was barely able to lift my arms to fold laundry. My husband brought me a piece of canned peach with some juice. It was amazing how much better I felt today. I actually went to the store. Slow but I wasn't able to do that before. I think the lack of any carbs depletes any blood sugar we have. Hope that helps!

    21 Days Post Op Diet

    Really? Are you feeling sick or is it just the thought? I couldn't wait until puréed even though I swore I would never do that. Tonight I made a pork roast and put soup over it. I blended 2 oz of meat mixed w the soup gravy and it turned out like the consistency of chicken salad. It was really good but I could only get 1 oz down. I'm still full an hour later.

    Got My Sleeve June 12Th.

    I was sleeved on the 13th and am in the same boat. I get up and get on the scales and am like, REALLY??? I have only lost about 12 lbs and it seems like after what little I am eating, it should be more than that. Anyway, I go to the dr on Monday and look forward to talking to the nutritionist and going over everything.

    Just Had Surgery, -42Lbs

    I love your video! You are so cute and your laugh is infectious. Thank you for being honest. I would rather be prepared for the pain rather than think everything will be perfect. Tomorrow is my day!!!
