you can really tell the weightloss in your face. congratulations keep rockin that sleeve.

congratulations on your weightloss so far, from here it only gets better. post pictures when you can. as for wearing the same clothes as before surgery I still where mine to, now though they are super comfortable lol.

Hang in there bigchange. Let your new stomache heal. Keep eating the foods you are suppose to eat right now and dont rush it. Some of the items you have mentioned that you want to eat will be really hard on your new stomache. You can do this, keep positive and these head hunger feelings will pass soon.

Amytugs you really do deserve this and so does your family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God speed to each and everyone getting sleeved.

Congratulations on your surgery. Welcome to the sleeve side.

Hang in there. This will pass to.

Remember after surgery as soon as you can walk walk walk it will make a big difference in how you wil feel. Good luck and speedy recovery.

Just wondering if you have tried to go back to first phase of surgery eating. Try doing protein shakes 2times a day and then a sensible dinner. Always remember protein first then veggies and carbs. Eat like every 3 hours to stop the hunger. I know if you eat fiber to, it keeps you full longer. Good luck keep us up to date. Oh yeah drink lots of water to help flush out the fat and to keep you hydrated. One more thing lol, are you mistaken hunger for thirst? Try drinking fluids and then if you still feel hungry eat some protein. Hope I helped in someway if possible.

Lessofmeismore is right. Everyone goes through this because of the hormones we stored in our fat are being released. We are here for you, if you have any questions or just need someone to listen to you we are all here for you. It will get better day by day just hang in there.

Congratulations. Keep us updated so we can welcome you to the sleeve side.

The dress. It fits you very well :-)

Msskinniness Thank you for these postings they will help tremendously. Good luck on your journey :-)

Had some laughs,smiles and some I can't believe people are the way they are. I really hope that some of the people who are here realize that I believe that this forum was started for people who have questions, concerns and to find out how other people were doing with their sleeve. There are just too many negative people on this site. I will say some want to help and some want to make you look and feel stupid. And as for the vets who are sick and tired of the newbies asking questions. Remember you were a newbie once and I 'm pretty sure no one was a smart azz to you like you are to some of the posters here. Good luck,keep your faith newbies it will all get better. Please always remember treat others the way you want to be treated.

That was so interesting! Where can you read part 2 at? would love to find out how to rid body of this water retention weight.

That sucks living close to resturants being able to smell what they are cooking. Lol. I live very close to a few of them to, so I know what you mean.

Aussie reading your story just broke my heart. I feel the same as most on here. What broke the camels back for me was realizing that I just didnt love myself anymore. I had given up on losing weight and on life really. One day I woke up and remembered that my family loves and needs me nomatter what I weigh. I knew it was time to really do something about it. So that someday I will be here for when I have grand children and when 2 of my children get married. Also for my husband, I promised him we would grow old together.

You will be fine. Try and keep your diet going in the right direction. Good luck, when you get a craving or hungry drink a protein shake.

What an inspiration you are to each and everyone of us. Thank you for standing in and letting everyone know what this surgery is about. About getting our lives back, to be able to live again. Congratulation on your weightloss I know you will be having alot of followers who will want to be you and in your shoes with the weightloss and stamina that you have.

While your in the hospital is when your worst pain will be. Everyday that goes by it gets way better. The most important thing to do is walk as soon as you can. And when you get to drink make sure to sip sip sip sip and sip some more. I would say in all from worst pain to no pain at all was about a week.

Maybe chapstick? Congratulations to you. I wish you speedy recovery and a noncomplicated surgery. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
