Just Keep Swimming

Well dog sh*&! I never thought to measure myself before surgery...or sometime before that. I had lost 60lbs before my sleeve last week...have pictures which really paints a nice picture - HA I haven't lost anything since my sleeve - I too jump on the scale every morning after a visit to the porcelin God...teetering just above 300 for a week now. I need to learn how to be more proficient at this technology thing - some of ya'lls signatures and replies have your tickers etc...mine plain and boring. So thankful I stumbled across this website while in the throws of a pity party accompanied by crocodile "what have I done" tears! Feling not alone anymore! Thank you everyone!

I can so relate to how you are feeling. I had my surgery on the 29th. I cried myself to sleep last night, wondering why I did this when I lost 60lbs before I had the surgery done. Even though I am in the throws of my pity party I muster up the whys I did this and have to remember to keep focusing on them. I hear it gets easier. I woke up in much better spirits this morning. I think I shall spend my time figuring out how to get more Water in. I hear all the advice about popsicles, gatorade, juices etc...however, I am a water lover so this is next my Quest to focus on. I wish you the best of luck!! K ;0)

Any newbees having what feels like hungar pains? I swear I am. K Linam

Thanks to everyone to my query! It's funny to be this age and think you know everything and you don't! HA Loving growing up! K:)

That made me chuckle - being a week old newbee, it hurt but it was a good hurt!! Thank you!!! K Linam

I was sleeved on June 29th - weEk ago today. No pain now, just numbness around the laproscopy sights. I would give anything for a glass of water!! LOL Get sugar free popsicles...they will save you! I swear! Good luck. Now to figure out how to post my own stuff. HA
