I am 5 weeks out and I have the same addiction sometimes weighing twice a day! But I know not to take it to heart. I have set a day a month that I take all my measurments and weigh in and that is the only day it counts.

I feel the same way totally back to normal. I had a rough day at the doctor for my 5 week follow up but otherwise doing good. The scale there weighed me 6 lbs heavier and the doctor got on to me about not loosing enough. It was frustrating! Anyway, I still have one habit that I cannot kick. I eat too fast then pay for it later! I try to slow down little forks and spoons chew chew chew but still I take a bite right after I swallow. UGH! It's a habit I know and after I take a bite I think why did I do that. Anyway it's a work in progress. I just got a treadmill for 40 bucks off a friend and also got biggest looser for xbox kinects so I have been working out. I have been stalled for a little over a week but I am hoping once I get in a better routine things will get better. Water is also an issue for me. I at least get 30 oz in a day and I urinate alot so???? An yway good luck in January everyone!

Hello I have a question I am on soft foods now and the last few days after I eat I have been getting left side back pain. Anyone have an idea what this is? I will be going to the surgen on the 31 st so I was going to wait till then to talk to him unless I should be concerned. Should I?

Im sorry if u already mentioned this but I am on my phone. What were your symptoms? I am having left sided back pain after I eat?

You need to join PCOS club on here just click the link under my picture and join. BTW I am 3 weeks out and have lost 17 lbs. Normal weight loss for people not sleeved is 10 lbs a month so I figure as long as we are loosing it's a good thing!

WOW! Happy Birthday and congratulations!

I just want to say that this is suppossed to be a support site not attack eachother site. Just makes me sick how wrapped up people can get over there own OPINIONS (SP?). Anyway Happy Birthday! I think enigmachik said it best a few sips won't kill you just take it easy. I need to figure out how to unfollow this post no offense to you but I don't like the negitivity just not what we need right now listen to me now I', negitive! AHHHHHH! Happy Thoughts!

I agree with what everyone else is saying. You have plenty of life time to have those "legal" drinks of alcohol. Just wait 3 months and see how you feel. It is not worth it!

I hope all goes okay for you. I had an infection too but they let me out that night. Hopefully you will have like results! Praying for you.

I started the soft foods diet today. Not sure why but I thought I could eat 2 scrambled eggs with shredded cheese on them. I thought there was no way I would not be able to eat it all. I mean I used to have 2 eggs, bacon and toast and a big glass of milk! I know this is not the same stomach I am having a hard time adjusting. Does it get easier? I hope so, anyway, I eat probably a little more than half and I found myself even though I was overlly full trying to eat more because I didn't want to waste it! What the heck is wrong with me! I guess as my stomach heals it will get eaiser, I don't know! I will eventually learn what I can eat in one sitting but I thought since I wasn't eating the veggies and starch the protein could be more to match that diagram they gave me. IDK it is also my first day of foods. Thanks for reading any advice would help me.

I had that issue my first 2 weeks out. Just because I was liquid in and liquid out as the others said. I started soft foods last night and today and "things" have been more normal. Plus alot of sugar-free stuff can cause that too. It does for me I know.

Thank you both. I know these things but I guess I just got to get it in my head. It will take a bit to get my eyes acustom to what will fit. I have tried the smaller plates thing. My brain thinks I have to finish it or it's a waste! I guess that is a mind issue I need to deal with. I really don't want to strech the sleeve that is why I was concerned too. Thanks again!

You really made me laugh out loud when I read this! I can totally relate.

I'm not sure why but I had this happen to me too. I have PCOS which causes my periods to be abnormal. Wouldn't you know I hadn't had my period since August and Yesterday I started. Which was 4 days post op. I know when I had lost weight in the past it made me more regular.

I'm feeling better today. I'm having trouble telling the difference between certain pains. I swear I am starting to feel hunger but I am not sure because sometimes it's right after drink something. I don't know. Well my rude little boy will not stop bothering me so gotta go. ( he was reading as I was typing thats why I said that. )

I'm better today just having trouble. I get 2 oz of protein in every two hours and in between Im drinking water and gatorade.

I can not get enough of anything! Im hot and my stomach hurts. Ugh! Cannot get my protien in. Guess I better give it time. I just got home from the hospital today.

The day is finally here! I'm more tired than nervous now. I couldn't sleep last night but I guess I will be doing alot of that today. Good Luck to all my fellow sleeve buddies that are going throught this with me today. Also thank you for all that have paved the way and letting us know what to expect. HERE I GO OFF TO HOSPITAL! I will try to follow up from the Hospital but if not talk to you in a day or 2.

Thank you all! The surgery went well but man am I in pain! Gas pain is the worst it has settlwd in my back! Ugh! I have walked 3 laps an hour appart. Plus ive gotten up to use the rrstroom but still NO relief! Anway I know it will pass but it sucks!

I guess I will let you know after today. It's my day today nervous and tired. Good luck my fellow 11/30/12 buddies!
