Yikes it's so hard after surgery...I'm totally going through withdrawal...all I've know for years was binge eat...Omg I can't anymore..I'm dying..I've had a secret relationship with carbs...now I can't..please break it asap...I feel my like even after surgery I am still broken..I am going through so much now then I thought...this is not a cry out this is something you need to know you can possibly go through.

You look great..how's ur skin now...do you work out alot...I'm 7 weeks out..I feel there is hope when I see pics like that

Download the app..slower eatter...it works...

I took one week off..I was taking care of my kids (6 and 1) day three by myself...it helps you heal faster I think..

You go girl

Hmm thats a good question...I to have pains often lately. My pain is on my right side.I wonder if it's because o have not had a good bm in a while. When was ur last bm.I have had alot of cheese and bananas lately.I just took ducolax..hopefully that helps.how far out are you? When did this start?

I'm so sorry it wasn't meant to scare you keke but to tell others its ok to feel the way they are feeling and they are not alone.I would love to be able too own this sleeve like many others do.I'm not there in my journey yet. I'm doing good thus far with some bumps n bruises...it's very mental at this time for me. So good luck to everyone one. It's going to be a good ride!

I totally understand your fear.this is mine to.I said to my self that this is for me.Well I really haven't had alot of "me time“.I need more water and I need to really put a food menu together for me. I am one of those people that really haven't told anyone because I'm so afraid that people will be like wow you haven't lost any weight...or judge me if I'm eating something they think I shouldn't. So ur fear is valid and your not alone.I keep saying day by day.lbs by lbs.good much keep us posted

Im 5 1/2 weeks also..my weight is not coming off as fast as yours...congrats...I think it's ok to have a bite here and there. The only reason I say this is because I have and I didn't like it as much as I did before surgery. You won't crave it...it's going to be a struggle were so fresh...I think when we start working out are bodies will change for the better and we won't wana change back to the person who doesn't like to be in there own skin.good luck..keep me posted..I need a buddy lol..to keep me on track

I have had alot of bad days already n guess what I am only four weeks out. I am really grateful you posted this. It's my journey no-one else..I have had an eating issue for many years..hence getting this surgery..I'm fighting this eating habit the best way I can.I miss having food with friends and drinks with my husband..day by day..I don't have time and frankly money to go to a therapist ( Wish I did).I'm so happy that I can have a small pizza instead of three..I'm glad that I have a gilt instead of a whatever feeling.give you self some credit...your on the right track to a better you.I have been afraid to post things because I don't want people to judge..the same way I don't tell people that I had this surgery done...but I'm posting now because some people need to know that there are not alone.

Yeah I have read that too..I think I eat fast too. I feel myself struggling with not drinking when I eat and eatting too fast. I eat with my two young girls n I focus on them and for forget about me.

Im on this stage too...lets see I have had the chicken puree also n I have to say it went down with a fight. I just had a veggie hotdog lol no bun and it went down awesome. I have had water refried beans and that was ok..I had egg whites n that was kinda tough. Yogurt is good..it really has been a adventure. I am really excited because I can drink a small coffee now.I like bananas n a small amount of peanut butter. I am curious what others will say to eat..good luck..its been day by day

Ohh snap thats what I ment to say..thanks

Why do they want u to drink 30 min before n after eatting ..would it stretch your stomach out faster..or just fill u up faster?

I am too having pain on my right side..I am 14 days post op. I have also stalled at for one whole week....help........

congrats!looking good! my surgery date was 8/12/13. How r u feeling? i still have some pain in my stomach...i sure wish i could go to the bathroom! When i walked into surgery i weighed in at 246...lost 14 lbs during the pre op diet. well im losing thats the great part but i have been stuck at 236 for 3 days. I wonder if its because i have not been able to "go" in like 5 days. 5 more days till the puree stage! yay!!! whats gunna be ur first meal?

Hello Buffalo ..I got sleeved on 8/12 by the awesome Dr Pham! Luv him n his girls also. So far I have lost 23 lbs. So can't wait to be normal again lol. Congrats to all ur achievements!

I am also so nervous to be in your shoes. I have been on liquids for three weeks (counting 2 weeks of pre op)and I really am so sick n tired of just drinking. So I saw that some Dr put there patients on a puree diet week two. I tried the refried beans n I was so uncomfortable. Obviously I tried it to early but I really miss my happy place at the dinner table with my family. I am not as far as u but I really want to feel normal again. Its not that I dont want to change but I find it to be so hard when food was my comfort/my go to..now I have nothing..well besides my beautiful family..I really hope u heal fast for ur sake

Wow how much did u lose...u look great!

Hey august sleeves I also was on 8/12 and day by day is great. I prob should go for a walk but I have no energy bx withy kids all daylong. Do u think that's enough or should I really try to walk also. So I started at 260 before my two week protein diet,walked in for my surgery at 246 and today I am 230. Its crazy how fast this is. Well day by day...I am still in a little pain on my side...steam room huh?why does this help?it does sound really good!

Well to be honest I just fake sips here and there...from day two to day five. I can't believe I was able to drink this shake this morning.I was so excited then I pretty much cleaned my whole house and took care of three little girls this morning. (My niece slept over).how ironic is that! I really hated being in the hospital..people were walking in n out all the time I never slept. So from start to now I started at 259 and today I am 235. This includes the two week prior. I lost 10 lbs since being home. So day by day sip by sip..

I'm on day 6 and I have been home since day two. Day three I was home with my two kids alone.they are six and one. I truly think being home helped me recover faster. I moved around more and slowly I regained my strength and my ability to drink more. Today I drank my first protein shake. Day six is awesome! God bless and I hope u come home fast to them. But also this is for u..and later for them.

I am 5 days post op n finally feeling a little better!congrats to all august sleeves!
