    June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!

    Sleeved 6 days ago in Mexico. Sw: 234 Cw: 221 GW: 165. Just started protein drink, and having a really hard time with fluids. Feels like a balloon blowing up in my chest every drink I take. GasX doesn’t do the trick. However, Warm fluids do a little better for me, and using a straw now and it seems to be getting a little better each day. Take 3mg of requip for my RLS and can’t crush pill, so I take a teaspoon of yogurt at bedtime right before I take my pill- get a little bit of a tummy ache but nothing like when I tried taking it without the yogurt.

    Sleeved Monday

    That’s exactly how I feel. I’m not sure if it’s gas yet or what. But you described it perfectly. Anyone have any suggestions?
  6. I am sooooooo thirsty. I’m having a hard time understanding my new “signs”. When I drink it hurts right between my ribs. I’m only taking sips. I need to burp and I can’t. Then I feel a little nauseated. Please tell me this goes away.

  8. Today is the big day! We made it to Mexico, I’m gowned up and waiting for my IV drip! So far it has been a pleasant ( much different than the US way of doing things) experience. SW 238 GW:170.
  9. Well tomorrow is the big day! Arriving in San Diego tonight, and into Mexico tomorrow am. So nervous but excited for my new journey. “Nothing Tastes as good as skinny feels!!” SW: 238 GW: 165.

    I feel so down

    I’m not sure what astounds you? It’s NOT a quick fix. Many people fail. It’s not just surgery but that of a lifestyle change. So, I expect weight loss while I alter my lifestyle and habits. I empathize with Brass as I may have the same concerns. Is it not ok that I’m afraid I may fail?

    Gundy- no what I mean is we’re preparing for a long -journey (marathon) not a sprint - quick finish) It’s going to take awhile is I guess what I was trying to say.
