Your hunger level goes way down or atlesst mine did . I usually have something every 3-4 hours protein mostly I'm 1 month out so I've started real food again I just need to ear slower ,,, retrain myself .. And not drink to soon after :/ but it's starting to get more normal already .... Fingers crossed ... Things keep going well

That's so great, good job and welcome to our club

I was sitting around today thinking about this journey that we have or will embark on called weight loss .... I'm sorry that weight has caused us to have to undergo this type of self dare I say mutilation .... I'm sorry that this world has seen fit to make even medically healthy people just Over weight seek this surgery to be so called normal .... I'm sorry because that is me , 75% was due to possible future health issues but 25% is pure vanity and not wanting to turn 50 and be fat anymore ... I'm sorry that I didn't see the girl my husband has loved for 30 years when I look in the mirror , or the mother that my children adore .. I just say fat ... And I'm sorry .;(

Nice job congrats

My closet goes from size 20 to 16 pants lg to 3x tops so I got time lol but I'm already in the 18 jeans ) ... Did I mention Xmas is coming lol

Yep I usually drink a protein shake before bed it does the trick )

Good luck .. Those clothes will be worn soon

Today is 30 days since i got my sleeve its so strange the emotional ups and downs , I'm 23 lbs down which is awesome !!! I'm finally starting to GET IT lol I'm making good food choices and really don't miss the bad stuff ,,, I want to thank all if you on this site who have posted support it makes a huge difference to know your never really alone and people understand ...

I get hungry but if I get some protein in I'm good I have to have something like every 2-3 hours

Hmmm probably French bread and pasta for me lol

Ya they fixed my hernia and my acid reflux seems gone I am still taking omeprazol until I see my pcp it's just an adjustment eating so little I'm lucky if I can get 600 cals a day with protein drinks included .. Water is so hard for me to get in no matter what I put in it , and all the supplements omg , I'm pre menopausal so that's also fun lol

I appreciate your posts I am a work in progress good luck to all of you as well

I'm 1 month post op today I don't regret the surgery I just feel sorry that society can just let us feel good about ourselves .. It use to be if you were Plump you were sexy ... I'm not really talking about the whole health problems , this is more about tired of being the largest person at the party or attest thinking you are ... Just a self reelection at this point ... But no regrets I'm on this side now and I'm gonna be the best me I can ... Thanks for the posts ya'all

Ok so is anyone else having issues with pill sizes now ? I just got back from the dr because I have a sinus infection ( lucky me) I explained to the dr that I recently had sleeve surgery and the meds need to be able to go down so I can't have a huge pill , she said oh no this will be fine .... Then I get to the pharmacy and bam it's huge thank god I had the pharmacist see if I could crush or cut the pill .... Wtf why don't they listen to us ?? Frustrated

That's really kind of scary I think

Omg I feel horrible for your mom , have a drink for me I'm to scared to

Hi everybody I woke up this morning feeling kind of weak and a bit light headed I took my bp it was 106/66 I am not on meds , it seems kind of low , any thoughts out there ???

That's not a friend they don't add any value to your life journey so cut them loose .... You made this decision stand by it with pride in knowing why YOU did it ... Move onward we all support you

Ur lucky I would kill to be able to drink that much water I'm almost among out and the water part is still my hardest part ...

That sounds like good advise thank you my friend

Ps u called my med staff they just said it had nothing to do with weight loss surgery it's prob a sinus issue wtf ... I've never had low bp with a sinus infection ... Ya know you choose a place to get surgery because they tell you all the great things they will be there to help you with after you get your surgery , then when you really need them they push you off I'm getting really pissed ... I'm no hypochondriac
