Hey everyone! Was sleeved July 17th...started my pre-op July 3rd. Down 40lbs. Excited for my weight loss, but wish I could start to see it more! Excited and happy with my results, can't wait for the next 40lbs!! ❤

I'm in the EXACT same boat as you!!! Help!!!

I'm 2 weeks out from my surgery. WHEN CAN I EAT KRAFT MAC N cheese AGAIN?!?!?!?!

LOL!!!

I'm laughing outloud guys. Thanks for your concern. Just having a craving. ill be ok! To the yogurt I go! Just trying to make people (and myself) smile!

I'm only about two weeks out and I'm terrified of this!!!

Hey guys! I'm 12 days out from being sleeved and in experiencing huge cravings! It's so hard! Has anyone else felt with this? Any tips it tricks? Nothing seems to satisfy me!

Clapping!!!!

Hey, another 7-17 sleever. Have been having ups and downs too. First few days home were really hard. I tend to feel good in the late morning and worse in the evenings. Burping constantly. Also finding it difficult to get my Protein drinks down.

Hey guys! Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting the sticky residue from the steri strips OFF your skin? It's impossible!

Perfect thanks!

Thanks!

Day 8 post op. FINALLY feeling decent. I even put lipstick on! Lol! NEW SLEEVERS; it does it better!!!! Xoxo

Hey everyone! Today was my week post op checkup. I got moved to my stage two "mushie" diet. I've only had a thick cream Soup for lunch, and some cottage cheese and applesauce for dinner. I took tiny bites and actually chewed the cottage cheese til it was completely broken down. But I cannot stop burping. All day. Some painful burps. Does this go away?!? Help!

I started my two week pre op diet July 3 and was sleeved on July 17. In just about 3 weeks I've lost 22lbs. I was very excited to see the scale drop although I don't think it's noticeable yet! I can't wait to start the next stage of my diet tomorrow as well as REALLY start walking. My FitBit is on its way. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done!

You look great!

So I was sleeved July 17th. I am scheduled to be on clear liquids until Wednesday the 24th. I've been drinking Powerade Zero, water, diluted grape juice and chicken broth. I'm so SICK of these liquids. Thinking about broth literally makes me gag. I'm starving and feel empty. Which in turn is making my stomach feel sick. I'm feeling helpless and discouraged. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but it sure gets hard. The whole 'everyday it gets easier' is easier said than done. Any suggestions for other clear liquid options that are perhaps more filling? Any words or wisdom or encouragement? Help!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm glad to know we are not alone and we have each other to lean on. I'm craving cream of wheat so bad I could cry!!! Cream of Wheat!!!!!?!?

I HOPE SO! ((Hugs))

Thank you. Napping is nice. Surgeon said not to go on any proteins til second week. It is only a week, I do have to keep reminding myself that. Feels like the longest week of my life! Lol! Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi everyone, I was sleeved Wednesday July 17th. I'm having a lot of difficulty swallowing (pain in my chest). I'm taking the tiniest sips and after waiting a moment, still feels like its being blocked and I feel the need to burp. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's very frustrating. My pain is tolerable otherwise. Any suggestions?

Congrats!
