sleevin scotty

sweet job man!

just a follow up to you guys: i am 6 weeks without a drink :-) . super hard but i did a chemical dependance program through kaiser. had an impatient and outpatient program. i currently go to aa and i have a sponsor. last straw was learning my bilirubin was elevated, thanks for the encouragement!

some stalls are also about body weight. i remember having a few a month or 2 post op, now im struggling with final pounds. ive been between 220 and 210 for a couple months. started at 320, sleeved 9/27/12

9/27 sleeved, down 80 lbs. anyone else stall for more than a month?

cant i meant

just checking in, still can kick the booze. daily struggle with ulcer too :-(

i would recommend not rushing, because as a 4 month post op sleever, i have noticed my most dramatic weight loss was during this period. most of my weight fell off the 1st 2 months and more people in my months, are experiencing stalls. im thinking of going back to full liquids a bit. gl, hang in there, its worth it.

you will be fine in a month or so. i think many of us feel depressed at one point after surgery. i took lots of pain meds and felt very depressed too in the begining. i was thinking what the hell did i do? maybe being heavy wasnt so bad? it gets better i promise, the next phase will be your hubbys jealousy. you will start getting tons of attention, and you will feel your wearing the pants. just assure him hes the only one and youll be fine. gl, im 4 months out now but i fell into bad depression for awhile.

thanks, i like crystal light so im hoping ill like this too. see? who says searching the forums during insomnia is a bad thing :-)

i was told the reason salad wasnt so good was because of bulk. it tends to make us feel full faster and we may not get much protein during that meal. aside from that, if you tolerate it well then enjoy some now and then :-)

when i was in puree, i ate a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese. loved fat free refried beans with light sour cream. also i bought talapia filets and mixed it with light mayo and lemon juice, like a homade tuna. this was a staple dinner for awhile. gl on your new foods.

i remember hoping surgery was right around the corner lol. it will be the best decision you ever made. i too struggled with weight all my life and the sleeve was that push that really made a difference. the liquid part is rough but once you come out of it, you truely eat differently and the pounds fall off. sugar free popsicles are my best friends to this day.

so awesome to see so much weight loss from you guys. i hit 78lbs loss today from 9/27. had a minor complication 4 weeks ago but not sure what it is. doesnt feel like gas pain, nothing triggers it. always there just a dull soreness or ache in my lower mid stomach.

hi guys im back. thanks for all the encouraging posts. i attended aa several times and will probably be back at one soon. still have my slip ups and on a bad habit schedule again. ill be honest though, the sleeve has been a success. i have changed the types of foods i eat, and mainly gotten my portion problem under control. when i look back at when i posted this, i cant believe id been looking for issues related to drinking. i found an answer, now i have constant intestinal pain! no idea what it is either (pretty sure i know what caused it). no insurance since december so im on a scarey path, cant believe i still pick up drinks. anyhow im trying and doing well in other ways, sucks i am letting this get the best of me. 221 lbs today from 299 sept 27th when i had surgery. whopping 78 pounds in 4 months!
