Hey y'all! I'm in the Houston area, well.. The Woodlands to be exact. Was sleeved 5/30 and have dropped 40 lbs since then. Still working at it though.

I was sleeved on 5/30 and as of today I've dropped 40 lbs. I'm noticing the girls are not as firm and full as they used to be and I'm freaking out. The last thing I want is saggy skin boobs Plastic surgery is an option for me but I just wanna know if its normal to lose them this fast...

I've always been a big girl... I was determined to get the sleeve a couple of years ago when I found out that I was eligible through my insurance. My husband and I have been together for 4 years. He's always been a jealous person due to his ex wife cheating on him with his best friend so I understood his insecurities... I got sleeved on May 30th and since I have been dropping weight, he's been VERY jealous over any little attention I get. I don't flaunt myself or flirt but I have been proud of myself and have bought myself new clothes that fit right and he has just flipped his lid. It has been such a struggle... Am I the only one dealing with a jealous or envious spouse?!? How can I show him I'm not going anywhere and that I'm the same ol me...

I'm on the same boat... I'm 4 weeks out and I cant eat much... Couple of bites and I'm all pukey

SW: 271 lbs. CW: 249 lbs. Sleeved on May 30th. I've definitely lost inches and my face is a lot skinnier. I'm feeling more confident each day. I still struggle and have off days with the new reflux I have but it's an adjustment so I'm dealing

Hey, I'm almost at my 4 week post op but just now I was sleeping and all of a sudden I started coughing like I was choking, I then started dry heaving so I go to the bathroom to see if I needed to throw up and this NASTY tasting yellow mucous came up... After spitting it out, my chest started to burn like crazy and would get worse when I coughed. It felt like I had something in my lungs that I was trying to get out. Any idea as to what this is or has anyone else experienced that? Like I said, I was simply just sleeping... It's 3AM now and it's not like I just ate and went to lie down. Ugh. All of this bad stuff is making me regret the surgery

Ok, I've been on other threads sharing my experiences and giving my confessions. I really wanna stick it now.. I just hit my 3 week mark. I was sleeved on 5/30.. Right at surgery I weighed 271... I'm at 255 right now and it's kinda sticking right there. It'll go down a couple of pounds then go right back to 255. I'll admit again, I've been rushing. Externally I feel completely normal and I don't have any pain so I guess I'm trying to go back to the old ways. I've tried pizza by taking small bites and chewing til it's mush, I've tried taking a bite of a chicken sandwich, and so on.... All of which has led me to throwing up and praying to the porcelain gods... I would have diarrhea and would spit up... It wouldn't be a whole throw up session, but more of spitting up slimy goo of food. I need to get on track and focused. What types of food were you eating at week 3? Now, I'm a very picky eater... I don't do fish or anything seafood related and red meats are a no go for me.. I'm a chicken person all the way.. But if I can get recipes or food ideas, that would be great. Tell me what your food day would look like. Also, I've never had heart burn or indigestion, but I'm having this gurgling in my chest, what did you take for that? I still use Carafate... Also, spare me the lectures... I've had them already... Even got smacked in the back of the head by my mother haha.. Thanks everyone!

I'm at 3 weeks and have been cheating like a mofo and its been giving me all kinds of problems... I throw up whatever solids I eat... It's been bad. Now when I try soft foods... I still get pukey. it's my own fault

Thursday will be week 3 for me. At surgery I weighed in at 271... When I went in for my one week post op, I had dropped to 257... I just bought a scale and I am still at 257 lbs. ... This means I haven't lost or gained anything in 2 weeks... This was just a depressing moment sorry for the rant but I really needed to scream at this one...

Sleeved 5/30... In the woodlands area

I'm not... Should I be? They removed my gallbladder at the time of surgery too so I'm not sure what's going on

I got sleeved on 5/30... I do my walking, the gas pain in my chest is hardly there now which is so nice because that was gonna be the death of me, now my problem is keeping food. Protein drinks, chicken broth, jello, pudding, yogurt.... I take in a little bit and about an hour or 2 later I'm ready to pray to the porcelain gods. What gives?! I tried small bites of actual food thinking it would help (had a stupid moment) because that obviously didn't work. I'm just kinda lost because I know I'm missing out on my protein and nutrients... Did anyone have this problem? Also, I've never had heartburn or indigestion so I'm not sure if this is it but I feel this gurgling ugliness in my chest area...

They took my gallbladder out when they did my sleeve....

I am going into week 2 and I'm still having this pain in my chest every time I stand or am talking or even drinking.. It tightens up real hard for a couple of seconds and then stops... I swear it feels like a heart attack... It's not my stomach either... It's my chest...(above my boobs)... I am running out of options. I walk... I sip... I take my gas meds... Help!!
