I would really appreciate it if you all can fill me on average how many Popsicles do you guys have a day on average?

Hello everyone here's my story!!! So I went to Mexico, TJ to have my gastric sleeve done on 2-23-2013. Was sleeved on the 23rd!! Yes same day as surgery! I will tell you I went to Dr. Fernando Gracia! The coordinator told me that the doctor said because my bmi isn't so high I can eat light the night before and drink till 8 am the day of surgery! Well well I ate only Grandma Cookies the day before! chocolate fudge ones and I sure enjoyed it。the day prior 2 that I only had Jamba Juice! I would've ate more but my friend that had the sleeve done two months before me suggested me not too! Advised if I wanted a smooth surgery to not eat! So let me tell you about the surgery.... i went under afternoon and was in my room about 2 hours later. i WON'T LIE THE FIRST NIGHT WAS A BIT PAINFUL.... PAINFUL AS IN SORE STOMACH AND FROM A 1 - 10 I WAS IN 4. SO IT IS PRETTY BARE-ABLE. I DIDN;T sleep WELL THAT NIGHT. MAJOR BOTHER OF MINE WAS THE IV..... OMG MY POOR RIGHT HAND WAS SO SWOLLEN WHEN I HAD LEFT THE HOSPITAL.... AND FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS NOW IT IS JUST DIEING DOWN. WELL. SURGERY IN MEXICO TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. THE GROUP THAT I WAS WITH WAS REAL SUPPORTIVE AS WELL. THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT THE NURSES WHERE CONSTANTLY GIVING ME MEDICATION SO I DON'T FEEL PAIN. Post op 5 days my sore ness is GONE! Well out of 100% its 30% around. I am actually feeling hungry more than anything. anyhow i will finish up my story in abit ----Major FEAR OF MINE IS HAVING A LEAK GOD FOR BID. THOUGH THEY DID RUN 3 TESTS ON ME WHILE IN MEXICO AND NO LEAK. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. about weight: SW: 253 LBS. POST OP DAY 5- 248;LBS. CONGRATS TO ME I AM 5 LBS LESS.

I had a piece of doughnut I'm so bad

Lol Bradycone! Man thank God I don't either! Ok I ended up eating a lil more than a piece it was like half to total those pieces up! It's still ok. I noticed I'm not a sucker for Krispy kreme like before! I first thank God for that and second my sleeve! Omg I use to have the BIGGEST SWEET TOOTH EVER! Now it's died down but I won't lie three weeks ago my oh so supportive older brother brought home to me when they clearly know I had surgery for weight loss.... Brought home RIPS LICORICE OMG I GOT HOOKED! I said no but I won't lie than I got told just have one piece n that was it. It's fine we fall and get right back up! That's all. My friend is my motivation she had her surgery on dec 18 and now it's June 9 she weighs 150 she started at 225!!! I hope that will be me!

I'm 101 days out which = 3 months and 10days。 CW:205.6 about 50lbs in 3 months and ten days out!!! Surgery weight:255lbs Current:205 I know it's good but I really wAnt to be at 135 lbs for the first time in my life!! I doubt it will happen with the sleeve!!! I do watch what I eat. I just think statistic wise, from what research I've done with the sleeve we only lose about 60% of excess weight. I'm also afraid of regaining weight! I really wish I had done the bypass!!! Long term on that shows people keeping it off!! Oh well I guess it's a mental thing, I'm sure if I try harder, and exercise and make a life style change I will be good My weight past few days has been going up one to two lbs.

Helllloooo everyone! Hope you and your new stomach are getting a long just well!! I'm curious when did you start exercising, post op??? I'm having the hardest time going into the gym!!! However I walk a lot!

You probably have Acid reflex.

I've noticed there are jealous people. My own friend that I thought was my best friend, was jealous of my weight loss. She threw at my face that I had the sleeve. The sleeve is not magic.. Takes just as much commitment n hard work !!!

How much weight have you lost?? I had surgery on February 23rd weighing at 254lbs Current weight 210.2lbs

I'm looking to speed my weight loss up. I had my surgery feb 23,2013 & I started at 253.8 & now I'm at 231.6 so I'm considering getting on Optifast diet or Jenny Craig or somethin. I've been in the 235 lb range for the past two and half weeks!!! I'm ready to get under 200lbs already!!!

My goal weight by June 21 Is to be under 200 lbs

2/23-Surgery weight: 254 4/9-CW- 228 lbs Do you think that's good.

Two weeks no weight loss!! However total of 4 weeks I lost 18 lbs!!!! I just don't know what to do....

Soda anyone and if so how long after surgery before you drank soda

I wonder when and if I can have them. I don't have a problem eating anything.... But do you think it's ok. I would love some.

What's your breakfast- dinner daily meals??? It'll be nice to share your daily food intake... My breakfast: lean shake from GNC strawberry and cream. lunch. 1 scrambled egg with grilled low fat cheese Dinner. Fish

Do you guys think it's ok to go ride on roller coasters at six flags??? I'm post op officially on my sixth week now. My bf wants to go n I'm a but worried!!

Alright guys I went and it was fun!!! I was ok besides the big head ach I had

That's nice to hear. Do you snack through out the day? I have been lately and I had my surgery on 2/23. I've been stalling... For the past two weeks

Theme park post op 6 weeks 6 flags think it's ok????

Omg I'm going crazy this is horrible pain I've ever had!!! Tooth pulled... N the pain after the antes tic meds go away hoooorse crap it's sooo much worse then surgery!!!

I think I'm eating that's y I'm stalling! Anyone else have this problem??? I had surgery 2/23 and I was 253 and now I'm 235 It's been two weeks and I'm not losing anything... Or if I lost I gained it right back and it sucks! I don't know maybe I need to close my mouth and exercise more. It's so hard because I didn't prepare to be on a diet or change my eating habits due to the fact that I had my surgery in Mexico

I did some research of course but I still feel I'm not following it like I should. In the morning I drink my protein lean shake from GNC. Then I still yap on a lil food here in there. N yesterday was the first day I went out for dinner big mistake I had some spinach and artichoke dip with a lil salsa. I do admit I'm being harsh on myself! When I was eating I had an uncomfortable feeling. I did stop after a while.
