I've had 4 c-sections after reading this I'm so glad that didn't happen in my surgery. You have a beautiful family and with god in your life makes life even better!! I will pray you have a speedy recovery and may god bless you at this time of need

I was sleeved on the 12/19 I have lost 23 pounds as of today. I cook everyday for my family now since I can't eat the food but at the same time it's great to see them happy. I did the paleo diet for 1year lost 48 pounds I was weighing 286 at that time . I turned to the sleeve because the truth is my head hunger was stronger and found myself gaining the weight back. I hate to see my husband eating alone but one day this is all going to be the best thing I have done!!! It's just to early in the game to be able to say it. Remember this is only temporary torture and you will be able to eat again! Keep your head up it has to get better!!

I was just sleeved on the 19th I am still on Clear liquids I don't drink much yet not even the total of 64 oz But I can consume 1 Jello snack in less then 5 minutes is that normal?? Is that ok?? It doesn't bother me at all. If I did that with beef broth that would kill my chess and give me those pains as if I'm eating to fast Do any of u eat or can eat 1 jello snack that quickly??

Cathy thanks for the info!! I had looked into the bypass last year but it was gonna be a 6 month process before the surgery so I got discouraged! A friend at work had the sleeve done in August and he lost 80 lbs I was amazed!! So he recommended me to his dr and here I am I was so tired of diets that would only work for awhile then at a stand still I was ready for the change!! I have learned a lot from reading other people's posts I really am enjoying this blog!! My research was do e by my loving husband since he was more terrified then I was So we are learning together! Thanks for the suggestion I am gonna go do my measurements now lol!! Thanks for your kindness Rocio Sent from my iPhone using VST
