4 weeks post surgery and I am still struggling with eating solid foods
Elode replied to BigTink2LilTink's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@BigTink2LilTink I still feel that way 10 weeks out if I eat to fast. I still rely pretty Heavily on my protein shakes although I can eat almost anything to make sure I get everything in its shakes. You may just need to let more time pass. -

This just made me miss summer! -
Awe! The good: you made it!! The bad: you had to deal with BS. The moral: never walk in public with an a** because there's no good place to hide the body ! Ha!

What's the real deal with soda?
Elode replied to Anthony DeCastro's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Anthony DeCastro It's not the best idea but people do still drink some. I've heard people wait until the soda is flat and drink it. Sorry I'm not much help I've never been a soda drinker. -
HI all! Today is exactly 9 Weeks since I had my sleeve surgery. I have read a lot of post on here pre and post surgery about people being so dishearten over the numbers on the scale when they weigh. I told myself back before my surgery that I was NOT going to fall victim to the stinking scale! That hellacious thing has a way of ruining a persons whole day/week. Now I know some people can weigh everyday and whatever number pops up they can live with but I know me, I know my past, and I know how many times that Sucker has knocked the wind out of my sails and made me feel defeated. NOT this time honey! So what I did do with my daughter help (Partly to make sure I couldn't fudge on the numbers later) was measured every part of my body. Today is the first time we got the measuring tape out and revisited those numbers and I have to say I am astonished! These inches I have lost so far, far surpasses the feeling I got from any scale number! People are always asking me for recommendations of what they should do and my advice is to take your measurements because you can almost bet when that scale isn't moving but your following orders your probably still losing inches. I'm a open book so I will share my numbers with you... Under bust - 3inches Smallest part of waist -4 inches Natural waist -6 inches Buttock, booty, lovely lady lumps -10 inches!!!!! Yes -10 inches!! Crazy!!(Don't fret there's plenty more where that came from) Upper arm -3inches Thighs -6 inches (loving this) Calves-1 1/2 inches. Such a long way to go but I am so incredibly grateful for my sleeve and the help it has given me to finally be succeeding at something I've wanted for so long! Hey does this count as a NSV?? ( ps: I do weigh myself but only bi-weekly if I feel like it:)
