Congrats!!!!

No drain for my surgery.

You're doing awesome. I was sleeved on 9/2 and am melting away as well!

The doctor prescribed enough for 15 days, so 30 shots in total. I had three or four left at the time of my two week post op appointment. He let me off the hook and said since I was up and about and pretty active that I could stop the shots. My wife was more than ready to be done with giving me the shots.

Awesome job!!!

Wow! Congrats!

Sounds like you're ready!!! Now git-r-dun!!!

No change in weight the last couple days. I've been eating within the guidelines. Starting to get a bit more energy. Trying out some new foods that I have had yet. Overall taking it slow.

I live just south of Auburn.

Awesome! I have just begun my journey and am looking forward to posting some awesome results like you have. Inspirational!

Awesome, keep up the good work!

Made the baked ricotta recipe in a cupcake pan. Ate one without pineapple, went down fine. I did however take my time eating it. So not sure if it was the lack of pineapple or the time. But the good news is I really like the recipe! Tasty!!

Could be, i hadn't even really thought about that. I have some baked ricotta in the oven now. Didn't put any pineapple on them. Maybe I'll leave that off and see how my sleeve handles it without the pineapple.

About day four things fell into line for me and things got easier.

Put together the same ham with marinara mozzarella and a chunk of pineapple. I think I was eating too fast. Made it about half way through and wasn't feeling so good. Bit of pain. Burped, felt like it was going to come back up. It sure did. First time I've vomited since the surgery. Really bummed me out. Felt irresponsible and upset that I let myself eat so fast. We were headed out to a movie and I was excited to get going. Bad habits are hard to break.

Awesome!

I took two weeks and returned to work just in time to head out of town for a conference. I found that I had to get up and stand in the back of some of the sessions because I would start to get some pain if I say too long. Kind of like my body was compressing and putting pressure on my stomach. But I was ready to go back at 2 weeks. My wife was MORE than ready for me to go back to work about day three after surgery.

Finally back home!!! My wife wanted to have pizza for dinner. I'm game for that. She made herself a cheese pizza. I on the other hand took two slices of ham, put three tablespoons of marinara on it, a light covering of mozzarella and tossed it in the microwave to melt the cheese. Then I put three chunks of pineapple on it. She had her pizza, I have my sleeve friendly pizza. It was pretty good. Haven't weighed in a few days so I'm a little nervous what the scale is going to have to say about my meal choices this week.

September 2nd

Amazing!

Congrats!!!

Awesome motivation!

Well... 5 weeks ago I had a BMI of 54.6 and last time I weighed which was on Sunday I had a BMI of 47.3. So I'll take that as a success Good luck tomorrow!

I've used it a couple times too, not bad.

Pinterest is my best friend now, I've found a TON of recipes that I am looking forward to making. Just search bariatric recipes. Bet you could find some really creative recipes to get you the favors you like while sticking to the requirements for your sleeve.
