I would like to join in the challenge! My first, im not quite 3 weeks out yet, so waiting on that popular 3 week stall! pre-op 229.5 surgery 222.5 today 205 I would like to join you guys in onederland! 190 goal by july 4, 2012! Thanks for starting this! Very excited!!!

I should of mentioned I'm only 17 days out! So I'm learning from everyone as well! Sorry I was just stating what I had been advised!

Good luck! I am single, 17 days post op. theres absolutely nothing to donthat doesnt consist of food or drinks! I'm excited to hear some responses as well! Your husband will be very supportive!!

keep your chin up. you didnt do this on purpose! I'm sure he understands this. Sit back, enjoy it will all be over to soon! LOL good luck

My pre-op psych visit i was told to live normal, eat like you will in the future. She had the band, she said if we stay so strick "dieting" our sleeve will get immune just like our tummy did before to all the "dieting", so when the doc says normal food, to do normal foods including carbs, just practice portion control. we have a new start we all have our baby belly back, we will shape it this time not our parents!

I'm sure your husband was happy!

I stayed alone but I have no kids! I drove the next day. I had a very smooth surgery and recovery so far! I'm 17 days post op!

I bought a protein blast drink 30 grs protein. Very good ! I found this at the vitamin shoppe as well. I order fruit blast and grape I likes them so much!

I'm only two weeks today, i would so do it again!

I was sleeved May 10th, preop was 7 lbs, 14 lbs since surgery! 21 total! I love this forum everyone is so much help!

Do you need a volunteer? I know it sounds crazy but there was a teacher on the tv show "Glee" that was way phobic of others. I know i'm not a teenager, but i loved that show. It took the right person to give her the time that she needed and when she felt comfortable she would let him know the time. They learned to love, kiss, hug and really connected. I know its a tv show, but i really love fairytale endings. (i'm waiting on my knight in shining armer) maybe its an idea to watch a few of the episodes. Ive never experienced that problem, I wish you the best!

WOW, so true!!!! thanks for sharing!

I am 12 Days post-op. Just starting on "smushy" foods. After the first two bites i feel a " girggle" in my throat. Is this normal? eating to much to fast? I am so trying to do this right. This group is such a inspiration!

I drove the following day after being released from the hospital. My surgeon said as long as i wasn't taking pain pills! I am 12 days post-op, day two back at work! I get tired easily. But i work with the best people!

I had to meet with a therapist pre-op. Maybe that could help. We talked about replacing addictions with others, drugs, sex, shopping etc.... Those are diseases just like being over weight. Good luck to you. I was always told don't let anyone take your joy! They can only take it if you give it to them! (that's where my screen name came from allMYjoy)

Thank you KImmie! Everyone is so wonderful here! Thanks for the quick reply, i was pondering on finishing my "lunch" or not! thanks again!

I tried OA about two years ago. Was not impressed, it was a bunch of skinny people talking, not helping with the addiction part of it! It doesnt hurt to try, checkout your local hospital and organizations they often offer support groups!

Have you guys tried the camelback water bottles? Make a huge difference. You have to bite the valve to get the liquid out so it's not like using a straw! I was sleeved may10 as well! Post op was yesterday I'm averaging a pound a day!

My surgery was the 10th. I feel so good, went to the gym today! It does get so much easier!

Im 37, single no kids. I was sleeved may 10th! I was like oh no what have I done? Today is the 13th not so bad! Figuring out how to get so much fluid in is the hard part. Before I would have A whole 2 litter with in hours and ready for more. My tummy is so full (which is a good thing). I pray the hard part is done. Now just worry about eating enough my how time changes! I have a vacation planned for September last year it was those pics that made me decide it was time to do something! Can't wait to show last year and this year pics!

My surgery is this Thursday! Im excited!!! I know i'm worth this! Doing it for me, it will all take care of its self! Just keep in mind how fantabulous you will feel in 6 months!

My surgery is in less than 48 hours!! May 10th, i will let you know!!!

Time4anewme I'm from NC it will be at Lake Norman regional dr heider

Mine is 'may 10 as well! I'm on day 10 Preop diet. Down 7lbs. I'm so excited!!!
