Had Enough!!!

Don't beat yourself up. I was sleeved on March 6th, and although I am lucky to say, I have had NO issues with any kinds of food. After starting soft foods, I was so thankful to have "the most delicious tasting" eggs ever!! Then I moved onto chicken, and tuna, much faster than what I was supposed to. I told my doctor, and he said as long as I was tolerating it, it was fine. I am 7 weeks post-op this coming Wednesday, and have lost 40lbs. I feel like I am doing something right, so why not eat the cheese off a slice of pizza, or eat a yummy cheddar pretzel? I know that I've come a long way, way too far to allow this to happen again the only time I ever have cravings is when I'm PMSing, and I've had a tiny milky way, but that seems to all I need. The only carbs and sugars I really eat are in my yogurts. Don't beat yourself up over it. How much have you lost?

Your all doing good! I myself read all these wonderful successful losses by 5 or 6 months, and thought for sure mine would be the same! NOT!! Im grateful for the 12# pre-op, and and 17# post op..being a month out, its really not that bad! Its more than what i would have lost without it....i try to look at the good, and not dwell...we will get there! Keep your heads up! Look forward, and never look back!

You look amazing!! Never mind just your butt, your skin Looks fantastic!!

I am chewing really well right now of course, cause I don't want to cause any leaks, but I'm thinking farther out... Also, at what point were any of you able to eat more than 4oz at a time? I

I am only three weeks post op but i was just wondering if you have to FOREVER chew, chew, chew! Will it ever be normal?

I also have a hard time getting my protein, so i bought Unjury tasteless protein. Ill add 1/2 scoop (10g gm of protein) to my greek yogurt, and add another half scoop to each bottle of crystal light...dont get me wrong, the smell is is awful, but once you mix it, its fine and tasteless...i find it to be a must have!!

I was under the impression you couldn't drink g2? I'll have to ask my doctor!

I will be 3 weeks post op on wed...and ill see my doctor on tuesday. I think ive only lost 10 lbs, but lost 8 lbs. before surgery. Ive definately lost inches because my clothes are hanging off me. Im ok with that. Ive imbedded in my skull that im ok with the "number", as long as im losing inches,and feel good. Dont drive urself crazy with the number...it will come off! I was reading about all of these dramatic weight loss stories, and as bad as i want it to come off...its not gonna happen overnight! Go easy on urself!

You should be so proud of yourself! Im two weeks out, and definately lost weight, not sure how much yet, appt.is on tuesday, but my clothes are sooo loose. Im excited, and wish i did this sooner!!

Thats amazing!! Keep up the good work!! Im 9 days out,and clothes are hanging off me!! Keep up the good work!

Im 9 days out. I was a little sore still at 6 days, but felt the need to go back to work cause staying home was driving me crazy!!! My doctor has his patients on a full liquid/clear liquid diet after we come home from. Getting 75grams of protein in aday, along with 64 ounces of water seems pretty much impossible!!! Ive bought Unjury protein to add to my crystal light, and chicken broth. I cant have yogurt until two weeks out, which is three days away!! Yes, Im excited about yogurt!! I had a baby shower today, and although the food smelt so good, i wasnt hungry...oh and the cannolies!!! Ohhh maron!!! Pastries galore! It was weird, cause a part of me missed digging in and chowing down....but thats not me anymore!! I have a new way of life! Good luck to you!

Just wondering...is it normal to feel everything you drink, travel allllllll the way thru your pouch? And will that last forever??? It's so weird! I'm so excited to start this journey, and wonder why I didn't do it years ago!! I can't beat myself up about it now, I just have to make each week count! I'm happy to have such a great support system here too! Everyone is so encouraging! I am doing good, just starting to feel hungry. I'm trying to space out my shakes to four times a day, and I HAVE to keep after myself to drink drink drink!! Otherwise I feel lightheaded and have no ambition to do anything!! The shakes alone weren't doing it for me anymore, so I decided to put in 100 calorie fat free yogurt.....is that bad??? I freeze them, and eat them like a frozen yogurt....I've been on the shakes for well over a month, they were hard to get down!!! Need to go and get sugar free ice pops and sf Italian ices. Anyone know how long I have to wait for coffee?? I forgot to ask the dr. And nutritionist...
