Okay so a month and a half after my surgery I found out my husband had been having an affair for 6 years. I was so depressed, angry, and my sleeve went on the backburner. I quit going on this website. I have been struggling just to get from day to day. I am so thankful that I had my sleeve as my confidence grew with every pound lost. Perfect timing. Now I am back a different person then before. I am going back to school, and am happy I have shown such strength. Yes we are still together and in therapy I don't know if we will survive this but I know I will. I am focused on me now, too long I focused on my husband that was lying to me for so long, now it's my turn to live a life i've been waiting for. World here I come!!!!!

I did between weeks 3 and 4 I stalled and even put on a pound or two. Don't worry it will start going down again. Are you getting enough protein and water? I am @ 6 weeks and it's going down again so don't let it get you down.lol

Today is my surgery with Dr.Garcia. I am in Mexico now I am a little nervous but am so ready for a healthier life.

Chapstick,slippers, and I had my kindle luckily. Good luck.

So I am almost 4 weeks post op and for the past week and 1/2 I have been stalled at 256. I don't understand why I am stalled this early. Granted I know I'm not getting in enough fluids or protein but still shouldn't I still be losing? It's depressing to me I have lost 19 pounds since surgery and 13 preop, but I still feel I should be loosing. Any advice?

So tomorrow I am 3 weeks post op and I am so tired all the time. I can't seem to get all my protein or my fluids in. I know this contributes to my fatigue. Has anybody else experienced this? Sometimes I wonder what I did to myself. I know that it will get better with time but right now I just need some energy and it's making me depressed. I am happy I got sleeved don't get me wrong and I am optimistic about the future but right now it's tough. When will it get better? Is anyone else experiencing this?

My surgery was 8/7/12 in MX with Dr. Garcia. The experience was surprisingly good. Dr. Garcia was wonderful. Samuel our driver was amazing and even took us sight seeing while we were waiting for my sisters late luggage. The staff @ Ready 4-a Change was great. I wish they would have had an interpreter though as some of the nurses couldn't speak English which @ night was a bit difficult. Also a expert lab person who could draw blood on anybody would have been great as my veins suck and I think they probabaly tried 15 times then they would explode and I would need a new I.V. Other than that my experience was good. So today I'm one week out and feeling awful really. Feeling like what did I do to myself? I know it will get better as time goes on I just have to stay strong today was just a bad day. I don't know if this feeling in my stomach is feeling full from my protein or I'm just adjusting. Any thoughts on this would be great as I could use some inspiration. On a good note I'm down 17 pounds since pre-op.

Adult gummies. They sell them at Costco. Good luck!

Do you're lung exercises. They should have given you one of those breathing things where you suck in real deep. I made sure to use mine every hour and it helped alot. Good luck and God Bless!

It is tough, I was sleeved 8/7/12 and it is a new lifestyle that's for sure. It's a better one though, It takes some adjusting but I have dropped 20pnds and it helps me know that all this hard work will pay off. I think there is some food grieving going on but that's normal. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!! Good luck It will be o.k.

I know they say that if you can run a spoon through it and see a line then it's to thick. I just had applesauce and had to add water to thin it out and it was fine, even the creamy soups I have to thin out alot then strain. My doctor said I could have cream of wheat if thin enough, but I haven't gotten there yet. I'm trying to take it slow.

skymall.com offers protien in various forms from ketchup,to crystal lite like drinks to sugar free candy. I saw it on the plane last week you might try some of those options.Expensive though it might be worth it for you.

My flight leaves @ 6am tomorrow. I am nervous but excited. I am on all liquids and believe me it gives you a new appreciation for food. I have been grumpy and I don't know if it's cause food has been my outlet for so long that now I don't know what to do with myself. I also just quit smoking which is so hard. I try to remember that this is what I want for myself and that it will get better. Surgery is tuesday so it's almost here. Off to the unknown..........
