Wel...here i am...a big 6 pounds lost

i have had a lot issues and just now leveling out. The slleve will NOT make you thin. As you've probably heard before...it's a tool to help you, but you have to help yourself.

Yep...with you on this! I have resigned myself to the fact that food is no long fun....no anticipation of something good cooking, or enjoying a great meal with everyone...nothing tatse the same, or as good and eating is now really just PIA....but, I'll deal with it....I need to get healhty...but I hate that middle of your chest uncomfortable thingie

Oh my.."protecting our kids from alcohol" Alcohol kill more people with the diseases it causes, drunk driving, fatal drunken fights, domestic violence than all drugs put together...and that's not mentioning broken homes, child abuse and permanate mental issues for children of alcholics

You wouldn't be normal if you didn't get nervous! Have an easy day....read or watch something you like. try to get a good nights sleep....you'll fly through...update us as soon as you can ::::HUG::::

Also...pouches are fickle...I have named mine Ms Diva...she definately prefers warm and hot to cold, so I am going ot start drinking decafe falored teas..yesterday I started putting a teaspoon of Steviea in my shakes too...it made a world of differeance!

Oh sweerie...been there. What flavor shake? I have mixed berry I get at walmart, I put a container of blueberry greek fit & light yogurt in mine as well as a few squirts od berry Water Enhancer....still not the best, but it ups the Protein level..i am not crazy about powdered shakes either but really can;t afford to buy all premade. Just gotta do the best you can....for first few weeks it was bad for me, i had complications...i looked like a ghost, people kept telling me how awful I looked, I wasn't getting enough protein for my body....and i was...am so sick of water, which i used to love...I could scream. put something you like in it, I put a couple of tablesoons of powered milk..I like it sometimes i put carnations canned milk in it...just a bit.....and there a lot of different enhacers you can buy. I'm still dealing, it's such a learning process. ::::hugs::::

Oh sweetie.....you're doing wonderful.....no way i voulda text in recovery.....we're thinking about you {{{{[hugs}}}}

yeaaa. It's so good to get back home and be your own surrounding!!!! Happy for you

I'm so so sorry you had complications...It really does get better...as far as how you feel. i had complications too, almost died. I was bleeding internally and my blodd pressure bottomed out...had to have blood and emergency surgery to fix it...extended hospital stay. i got home and was just miserable...I am feeling SO much better now...but i have only lost 5 pounds...went through all that and I've lost 5 pounds!!!!! people tell me it's my body healing it's self......so I will continue doing what I'm supossed to do and wait.....what other choice do I have? You can't "un ring" a bell LOL, you will feel better. I have a long time online friend that had major complications and she is now at goal, looks great and no regrests...though she said she did at first. I think it might be a phase we all go though...hang tough

Wish i could help you...but I have never heard of this type of plane before.....brutal

How are youo doing sweetie? Trust me it'll get better...I had severe complications, almost died and had to have a second emergency surgery....i was sleeved on Oct 6th. i was not able to get proper Protein, Had to go back to the er for dehydration.....whey was/is making me nausious and soy now, even though I have drnk it for years....making me have severe diarrhea by the time I got to bottom of the glass. Today, I am feeling so much stronger and better. I add as little milk as i can, then add one scoop of the soy, and i add a Greek yougurt flavor and mik it slowly with a stick blender so it doesn't froth up...makes less to drink that way...and i'm getting though...a few days of protein really makes all the differeance. Money is a concern here at my house, but when i go shopping when hubby gets paid....I'm buying the premade ones...some of htem really high protein...I have some of hte Atkins Strawbarry and it's not so bad...kinda good...experiment
