    Biggest regrets about getting the sleeve?

    For me it wasn't so much of pain..it was the nausea and the bloating gas pain! My Dr said those 2 things would be hell! After that it was the weakness...having no energy was a bummer! Everyday will get better...but for me the first 2 weeks were really bad!

    First week

    You might not have to take any boluses for a few days maybe a week. your Carb intake will be second to none! you will need to check your BG more than ever.! Your diabetes Dr. Might want to change your basal rate to the Lowest rate possible for your first few weeks also! That's what happened to me!

    Everday gets better...trust me! I wear a lot of weave and wigs. My hair is long anyway so I am really worried if I will have to wear one because my hair is falling out! Maybe I'm speaking to soon but 3 mos out and only the average dead hair lost. My beautician told me to wash my hair every to weeks until further notice!

    Hahaha (0_0)! I'm afraid of a stall. How do you get out of one? How much have you lost?! I've lost 62lbs Yay! The stalls? I've heard a lot of people said go back to the beginning.....No way! I was soooo weak and dizzy. I've started at stage 5...I hope that jump starts it. I don't eat much at all, but I think it's the fact that we start to eat again our bodies are so happy and overjoyed about it again, it doesn't know what to do now LOL! Keep in touch! We can reach our goals together

    Have you been following me Lol! Joking! Omgoodness, you just described me to the T!! Sleeved Same day..my husband calls me skinny....I said if you think I'm skinny now wait until I get 150 lbs. He believes I won't be able to stop once I reach my goal. I think I am at a stall right now though. Congrats on being sleeved. I love mine.

    Thank you sleeve!

    At first I thought my husband would be mad, because I waste the food. Actually he said "don't worry about I eat it later on tonight"! Ha! I ate a piece of wedding cake last Saturday too! I did real good. I only could get 1/2 a piece down. I probably wouldn't have ate that piece, but I didn't want to insult the Bride! The cake was good though. All about restraint for me know, Got another wedding to go to today, hope it goes as well as the last one.
  13. 3 mos. Out went out to eat last night...Mexican restaurant. Oh man that food was soooo good. But no matter how good it was I could only eat a few bites vs. Before sleeve I wouldn't have leftovers. Had enough leftovers for a week. THANK YOU SLEEVE!

    To scared to swallow food!

    To scared to swallow food!

    No....I'm not offended at all! I've already discuss this with my Dr. I am having a UGI on Fri. I thought that was odd though, him saying things like leaking, etc. Being I am so far out....didn't know leaks were possible. But I guess anything is possible. I have been having problem with eating food since surgery, I get nauseous with popsicles I do good with Soup though, I just know that I am suppose to eat more by now. Hoping after the UGI I will know something definite. My Dr. also said it could be due to the neuropathy that I have.......the nerve endings in my stomach. Anyway, I mention this because I was wondering if anyone else experience anything like this? No hard feelings....Hope it's not a eating disorder!! Geesh.....that would be another problem I would have to deal with!
