Feb sleevers.... One month updates!
beenpohl replied to bigguy928's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was definitely getting migraines too...I think I found out that it's the artificial sweeteners in certain drinks like Powerade zero. Once I got back to just Water by headaches went away. I even stopped mio fit drops because they just made the head pound! @@madeline121 don't worry I have been stalled for about 8 days now and it sucks! I read the post "embrace the stall" and felt a bit better. It is so annoying even with all the advice because I think to myself geez I could've had a whole pizza by now and been the same weight lol. The daily weight loss was keeping up my moods but when the scale doesn't move, I miss food a lot! But try to keep positive...I am going to try to add more walking and maybe not eat after 7pm to try to see movement again. Everyone is doing so great!!! I love hearing everyone's experiences !

Feb sleevers.... One month updates!

Hey! I was sleeved Feb 29th and am down 30 lbs. For one month out I think it's gone pretty smooth but I am still oh so tired all the time!! After I eat anything I get light headed and clammy! It is the weirdest feeling. I follow a lot of sleevers on Instagram and see them drinking coffee...so I wonder if that will be allowed at some point because I can barely function! Overall I love wearing those smaller pants and it just keeps coming off! Best wishes to you and your journey Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Alcohol, parties, fun?

I agree with you. My husband and I love going out with friends and having drinks...but now I am 2 weeks post op and he is worried we will lose our fun times together. I look at it as if life is on pause and when we push play again I will just be a modified version of myself. One that is able to get a small plate at buffets and drunk off 2 wines instead of 2 bottles I have always been so jealous of women who would get full after a moderate plate or a girl who could eat a yogurt for lunch lol. I try to picture classic women of Hollywood and how they eat and sip and remember that "hey that's attractive and I wasn't when I could out drink guys" haha that seems to help me! Let me know how you start to feel because I am in the same boat! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am on liquid diet now...best food I found was Campbell's cream of chicken with herbs and then strained the chunks out...added can of milk it was very satisfying Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
