WeightStruggle

So it's dinner time in my house and I am SO hungry I want to cry!! My husband and girls had turkey burgers earlier and I SWEAR I wanted to ****** one and run down the street with it in my mouth!! I keep looking at my 'day 3-9' food sheet praying it changes to mashed potatoes and gravy!! I've been drinking these dang Protein Shakes, jell-o, strained Soup (gag), broth and green tea until I'm ready to scream! Please give me some other 'food ideas'! Anything! I know it's mind over matter but I am really struggling!!

Hi everyone!! I was just sleeved on 3/19 and although I'm SO happy I did it, I am CRAVING catfish nuggets!! LAWD! I am starving! I'm glad I stumbled upon this forum!! It's been very informative!!

You guys all ROCK!! So glad to hear how everyone is doing at different stages!! The pain is almost gone so that's a plus. Feeling incredibly hungry but that will also pass (I hope!) Wishing you continued health!

I just sent my husband to get me some!! I hope it works!! I don't know why it blurred out "s-n-a-t-c-h-e-d"...is that a bad word on this forum? Lol!

I've been reading other posts and have seen many others talk about leak tests and drains. I didn't have either of those. Why do some get it and others don't? Did they forget to give me a leak test? Should I call my dr? I'm nervous!!

Ok maybe he did it in the OR. My urine was a funny color in the beginning so maybe that's why. I wonder why he wouldn't give me a 2nd leak test just to make doubly sure there was no leak? I haven't had any leak issues so I guess I'm ok but was just wondering. Thank you all for responding. It's amazing how varied the surgeons are for the same procedure. The beauty of being different!! Now that I feel better, it's time to have a oh so delicious protein shake. Yay!! Have a wonderful Saturday all!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying you get home soon and begin the healing process. There is light at the end of the tunnel...we're getting there! Slow and steady wins the race. Wishing you the best.

That's exactly what I'm feeling! I feel hungry too...I think I am because I haven't been able to tolerate anything but green tea. Popsicles, jell-o, Isopure are all WAYYYY to sweet and make me gag. *deep sigh* I feel better knowing I'm not alone.

First...you look gorgeous!! Your boyfriend seems to be envious of the new you and your confidence. He may be saying those things to you to make you feel bad SO about yourself that you'll be scared to leave him. Whatever the case is, you do what's best for you. If he's not supportive of your journey, push him to the side and make room for the one who will be supportive. Wish you the best.

Made it through. In some pain not too bad. Hope my fellow sleevers made it out okay today as well. Talk to you all soon

Thank you!!!

Thank you all for the well wishes. Doing alot of dry heaving but not that much pain. Been walking more than I thought I would be able to so that's good.

It's really happening! Today is pre admission, tomorrow boot camp and final meeting with my surgeon. The next time I see him, will be at surgery. Wishing ALL sleevers the best of luck!!

I'm weak and shaking from not eating and nerves. Surgery time is 9am!!! To my prayer warriors out there, please send one up for me and all of those getting their sleeves done today!! To my fellow sleevers today, LET'S GOOOOOO! #TeamSleeve

Thank you so much!!

SOOOOOO glad to hear you made out ok!! I'm on my way right now. Wish me luck/pray for me!! Whichever you prefer!! Lol!

I'm on my way too! Surgery at 9am. I'll pray for you. Please pray for me. We can do this!!

So tomorrow is the big day. My stomach has been doing flips all day just thinking about it but I'm so ready!! I cannot wait to get this band out and start seeing positive results. I can't even imagine what I'll look like in a few months. All of my childhood/teenage pictures burned in a house fire and I don't remember how I looked when I was thin...ALL those years ago! I will 'talk' to you tomorrow!! Prayers and well wishes to all.

We're almost there!! Can't wait until this part is over!! Wishing you all the best!!

Thank you for the prayers!! I will also pray for you. A new start is around the corner!! Lets gooooo!! Good luck!!
