Wednesday I will be 10 weeks out and I felt like I could eat a house today. I had a yogurt, my protein drink, chili, baked lays Cheetos, do I need to go on... YES... Please don't yell at me, Reese's peanut butter cups, a sip of sprite, 4 oz chicken breast and some salad and water. Did my stomach grow back or something. I don't understand. This is by far the WORST day ever for me. Wtf did I do to myself.

Thanks guys!! I do track what I eat and even logged in all of the junk. Today Is much better. Yogurt. Isopure drink. Salad and some chicken. Then I have to start on my water. What a difference a day can make!!! Thank you all for the support!! Love you all

Can anyone tell me the signs and symptoms of being dehydrated. I'm sure I am bc some days I don't drink any water. It's hard. Due to the hunger hormone being gone I do not think about or want food. It's really hard. I can't even force myself to Do it even though I know I have too. I have a horrible dry mouth over night especially when I wake up its a freaking desert inside my mouth!!

Thanks guys!! I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow. I love water. That's not my problem!!! Just can't get it in without a desire but I'm going to be sipping all day today!!

Hey everybody I was sleeved on March 6 of this year my weight when I went into surgery was 261 pounds my current weight is 238 almost 5 weeks later. When I went to the NUT on April 1 my weight was 239 pounds I am a bit discouraged because the scale has not moved and I am in a bit of a slump. I eat food when I can and I'm sure to get all the protein in first if I am unable to eat all of the protein I always drink my protein so I am never lacking it. You know that weight isn't going to just fall off but I thought that I would be losing a little faster than this. I am just a bit discouraged right now I am not having anything that I am not supposed to be having very low sugar very low carbs I don't know what I am doing wrong.

This was day of surgery and 4 weeks later

Don't lose hope!!!!! You'll get there!!! I promise!!!!

After a long haul I am down to the final countdown 10 days and hopefully I will be in my hospital room recovering from the best surgery decision I've ever made I am overwhelmed with emotion mostly being excited and if I think too much I get a little nervous but I know that this is the best decision that I can make for myself and my future I'm not sure what I'm nervous of maybe the new lifestyle that I will be living but I know that that is what I need to do in order to be healthy this has been a long time coming I was supposed to get the surgery in July but I got tonight for my insurance company because they say obesity is a pre existing condition so we waited and resubmitted on January 21st I finally got the approval and had set up my surgery for February 11th but God had a different plan for me I went to the hospital the last Tuesday of January and found out later that night I need my gallbladder removed the thing that relieve me the most was that I found out that my bariatric surgeon was in fact a general surgeon and he performed my gallbladder removal surgery I know he's a great doctor and I am excited to have him working on me. So now I am fully recovered from gallbladder surgery and I'm setting up for surgery on March 6 it's the final countdown for me 10 days and I start my new life. How was every other March sleever feeling

My VSG is scheduled for February 11th and I am so very excited but there's 1 thing that is haunting me. I have long thick beautiful blonde hair and I am so deathly afraid of it falling out is there anything that I can do to prevent this from happening

Hey not at all!!!!! My body recovered tremendously quick!!!

Hey sleevers. I had surgery on March 6 of this year and coincidently that was the last day I had a cigarette. So far I am learning that food and cigarettes are both very mental and I am extremely thankful for that!!!! At times I do you just want to try one or have a drag but then I think about how far I have come and I do not want to lose my 17 days but I am cigarette free!!!

Hi everybody I am on the week where I am able to have full liquid and I need some suggestions I am getting awfully bored and also I would like to have some suggestions as to soft foods any help

Rule of thumb isyou're not supposed to drink 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a meal to decrease the opportunity for your stomach to make you feel hungry

Hey everybody I was wondering if anybody was experiencing difficulty falling asleep I thought it was just taking pain medicine was keeping me up all night but last thing I didn't take anything i was still up until 2 o'clock in the morning another thing I am experiencing is being extremely cold all the time anybody else feeling like this please tell me im not crazy

Any suggestions? I've had ice pops Italian ice wonton soup broth...I want onion soup broth any takers??

I'm not talking about the powder. There's ready made drinks like powerade or Gatorade. They retail for about $6 and is do worth it in my opinion. You get 40g of protein in along with 20oz of liquid.

I'm talking specifically about my postop diet!

Yes GNC

I love isopure drinks

Bigdaddyjoe me too!!! I'm not having any problems! I'm able to get my protein in and some liquids! Currently having onion soup broth. I was sleeved on march 6 and I feel like when is the hard part coming????

Thank goodness! I fund comfort in having wonton soup broth!!

I want food! Anyone else experiencing that???

I got 80g of protein in today!

Just a quick question to anyone who has already been sleeved I had a really bad experience today I got 40 grams of protein in within 3 hours I want for a beautiful walk around my block with my mom before the walk though I use the bathroom obviously dispensed some gas went for my walk came back in from myself on the toilet probably another handful of times I was cold freezing actually I had cold sweats I wanted to die that has been my only negative experience so far I am now going to be getting my second bottle Isopure to get my last 40 grams of protein in anybody else experienced this I mentioned it to my girlfriend who had gastric bypass because her husband had the sleeve done and she said that it actually happened to Anthony and she believed he got some of the dumping syndrome but I have had no sugar just my liquid protein and water and some propel 0

Woke up today with NO pain today and I even slept on my side! I got in 70 grams of protein yesterday and am hoping to get 80 grams today
