Congratulations! I'm so envious! I haven't been a size 16 since junior high!

Girl, my breath is hot too! I eat mints and 10 minutes later its back!

I would agree with the others if you were further along but one week out?! He should be more considerate! Your feelings are totally valid! Next time you both leave the house let him know your not comfortable watching him eat at a restaurant!

I confess I also would like to run into all of my exes when I'm thin! I confess I did this surgery against my husband's wishes and I didn't care that he was against it. (He's totally supportive now) I confess I still drink wine and did 3 weeks out I confess I don't even miss food. I can't even think if something I would want to splurge on. I confess I wish I would lose faster! I feel like I went through so much with this surgery, and I want immediate results darn it!

I don't think bones play that big of a role. They probably have a bigger butt and boobs than you. Or are shorter than you.

I would wait because if you end up having a c section more than likely you will have an apron!

With my past experience with losing weight, I always stall a week before my period then lose like 10 pounds after. I'm hoping that will happen again!

I couldn't stand clear liquids any longer so by the fourth day I moved on to full liquids and added Greek yogurt and strained cream soups. Broth makes me gag now!

Ok mine started yesterday (a week late)! It seems to be the same. Mine are usually not heavy and only last 3-4 days. I pray it stays that way! It does explain why the scale has been going the wrong way though!

I haven't read all the replies. I went to Mexico out of desperation and thank God I'm ok. I understand giving people info that you have personally experienced and don't understand all the backlash! I don't think anyone should be put down for going to MX there are a lot of success stories. I knew a few people who went before me so I felt comfortable.

I have 2 month old so I have no choice to hold him. Be careful because 3 of my incisions opened back up 3 weeks post op!

How far out are you, Donny? I want to work out so bad. I still have 2 weeks until I'm cleared. I worked out before I had a baby (he's 2 mos) then I had surgery so it's been a very long time. I'm so weak! I can't wait to get some muscle tone back!

You probably need more calories. I'm 4 weeks out and am eating between 700 and 800 calories.

I don't feel full until a few minutes after I'm done eating so I usually stop if it takes longer than 20 minutes. Then my fullness kicks in. With some foods I get full quicker. Cottage cheese is probably just easier on your stomach.

Happened to me too! I'm 4 weeks out and still haven't started yet.

Yesterday I ate between 750 and 800 calories and had 85 grams of protein....when I woke up today I lost 4 pounds! My week and a half stall is over I hope! How many calories should be consumed at a month out?

I didn't lose any weight the first week, so I'd say you're doing pretty good!

50 pounds is freaking amazing! Yes it's normal!

Anyone get sleeved in MX and have follow ups in Houston? One of my incisions have opened about a half inch wide and a fourth inch deep. My pcp won't look at it and advised me to go to ER. I don't want to pay to go the ER if I don't have to!

We all know there is nothing easy about this surgery! People are so ignorant and feel their negative opinions matter. It's usually people who have never had weight issues or are extremely jealous! I was too excited to keep it to myself but I wish I had. Especially since I went to MX to get it done. Everyone's got an opinion!

People use him every day! For some reason people on this forum don't. Go to gastric sleeve dot com and you'll find lots who have gone to him!

Well I guess it's true what everone says about the third week! I've gained one pound over the last week and the scale hasn't moved since! I'm ok with that. I've lost 21 pounds and I'll be 4 weeks out on Saturday. Throughout my adult life I've lost 50-60 pounds and gained it all back 4 times. I don't eat unhealthy never eat fast food, only drink water, and mostly only cook at home. My problem was I had an enormous appetite! I could eat like a football player! I guess with this surgery I'm not expecting to lose all my weight overnight. Even though it sucks after all we've been through going through with a major surgery! Haha. I'm glad I've found the support from the people on this site!

My friend started losing hair 11 months out. After I had my first son, my hair didn't start falling out after 11 months too. With any surgery you have the risk of losing hair because your body chemistry is all messed up. It does grow back but the texture may change as well. Just take very good care of it and take your vitamins to slow the loss and speed the growth.

How far out are you? I'm on pureed stage and have a soy Protein Powder I bought at target. It has a slight wheat flavor and I usually add a scoop to everything I puree. If you add spices you can't really taste it. I don't have a nut, so I hope I'm not taking in too many calories too soon. My struggle is getting in the protein without over doing it on calories. It's really hard when we can only eat such small amounts to get the protein from food.
