Thanks. I feel like the pounds are coming off slowly but surely! I needed a pick me up after a rough week!

My advice is to go to walmart and buy 2 pairs of pants only if you can make that work! I was in a 26 and am now a 20. (2.5 months out) and had to have some pants. I kept my pair of 24s I had that were too big and just rotate between the 3 pairs. I'm going to try to wear the heck out of these! Go cheap for now and get what you really want once your weight loss slows a little more. Good luck!

Ease out of it. I bought some of that maxwell house coffee concentrate and put a squeeze of it in my premier shake in the morning... slowly I have been squeezing less and less into it!

This is my during. I was sleeved 7/8 and am 2.5 months out.

This is my during. Sleeved 7/8 so I'm 2.5 months out.

Sleeved on 7/8 and have lost 45 lbs. I don't like salad but eat zucchini noodles all the time. I'm swimming daily and can't wait to start strength training next month

Could just be that your body is in ketosis. I even had it pre-op.

8 days out and feeling so great!

Juanito for the win!

Today is my big day!

Still waiting for an add... maybe I added the wrong person or you don't check your "other" folder on fb?

I was going to ask how soon after surgery I'll be able to use this app again?

Mine is July 8th and I'm in that in between excited and nervous place too. I feel like it is totally normal to have doubts!

I quit smoking cigarettes 2 years ago. I was constantly vaping but quit that on the 24th. It was actually harder to give up the nicotine than to give up the carbs I loved. I'm doing okay now but the first 5 days without it was actually very hard. Stay strong! Your lungs/throat/chest/taste buds will thank you! Good luck! You can do this!

I get sleeved on the 8th by Dr. Z! Congrats, glad to know everything went so well!

I am pre-op so maybe I shouldn't vent since I haven't had the experience yet... but I have been thinking the same thing! From people who eat bacon when they should be drinking liquids to people who just want to know how soon they can return to their comfort foods... I always have that "should of had a V8" moment where I just want to thump them on the head! I also don't get food funerals, if I am being really honest. To each their own but to me that is like raising the white flag before the enemy troops even show up. But to each their own. For me the point of this surgery is to teach me how to change so that I eat like an average healthy human! I have been craving tortellini for the last 2 weeks... like really hard core craving it. However, if someone told me right now it was pasta or the surgery, would I cancel my surgery? HELL NO! I want to add extra days, months, and years to my life. No beer, pizza, bacon, soda, or straws are worth dying for. /endrant

I added you so that you can invite me to the group Erica Jo Jo is my name for my Facebook. I have a separate account for all of my WLS stuff. It makes me a lot less paranoid about friends finding out I get sleeved on the 8th

Hi Naples ! 3 days to go here!I have 3 days til I leave to get sleeved! OMG omg I am nervous for u!! I wish u luck and for a quick and (mostly) painless recovery! Please check back in and tell me how things are going. (I don't go until the 29th). I have noticed myself doing "food funerals" but not on purpose. Accidental food funerals - probably self conscious. Like a bagel w cream cheese. And coke (I don't even usually drink coke but now knowing I might not enjoy it- I'm having more of it). The thing that kept me from food funerals is this single quote that has become my mantra... "You will eat again" I don't have to eat all of the bad stuff now just in case. I just look at it as, well maybe I'll eat it another day after the surgery, we will see. It might not work for everyone but for me the reassurance that I can revisit the decision to eat or not eat a food at a latter date is really helpful.

Hi Naples ! 3 days to go here! I have 3 days til I leave to get sleeved!

I have a specific fb page just for my wls journey. I definitely would love to have a group just for July sleevers!

Link: I'm not sure it will work but I'm trying to post the link for Rasha

Rasha is the one I saw.

July 8th for me! In Mexico with Dr. Zavalza

I have surgery in 9 days... I'm excited but have so much on my mind and so much to do before hand! Is everyone feeling excited and nervous? Or one or the other?! Just checking in!
