Thank you for sharing the photos and Congratulations on becoming more healthier!

I love all the dog photos!

I started feeling hunger pains about four days after surgery. I was on a acid reducer before surgery and continue it since surgery twice a day. Usually after I eat something I am satisfied. Some others have mentioned that thirst can mimicked hunger I get in on average 48 to 56 ounces of water per day. I am aiming for 64 ounces.

Congratulations!

Awesome!

From my highest weight about 240 I wore a 8 wide and at current weight 7 1/2 b.

My dogs are baffled they are no longer getting treats from my plate. However it is good for them the two older ones can lose a pound or two.

congratulations on getting sleeved and welcome to the site!

Congratulations!

Inspiring!

I also still feel hunger pains, just not as intense as pre surgery!

I am almost 4 weeks post op and 28 pounds down from my surgery date. Incisions are healing well. The gas and constipation is very uncomfortable. I will be on a regular foods starting10/15. I go back to work the first week of Nov., so I will have food plan and schedule all ready. How are any of the other 9/16 sleevers doing?

I hope your mother has a speedy recovery!

Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage are pretty good.

I am sorry for the lost of your mil!

Awesome!

I been taking MOM with only partial relief. I am still at the soft food eating stage.

Welcome!

Rebecca, Good idea regarding the student loans!

I am sorry your insurance company would not cover all of your WLS expenses. I had to wait several years before my insurance would add a lower BMI. I would ask my PCP every year regarding qualifying for the surgery. My doctor would say no I did not meet the requirements and for me not to gain weight to meet the then 40 BMI. I was able to lose 38 pounds but keep only 25 pounds off for the last 7 years. I was then able to get my diabetes and bp meds reduced. Good luck with your journey losing weight which every way you are able to get it off!

Good Luck!

Yes I noticed that when I get in all my protein, water and at least 900 calories I am losing. However on the days I get under 700 my weigh stays exactly the same. It is a little difficult being not extremely hungry and still in the soft food stage.

Looking Good!

You are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending you a virtual hug.

Welcome and have a speedy recovery!
