      @BigGirlPanties I am telling you, you won't ever eat regular Spaghetti again!!! I was skeptical at first but when I tried it, I was like holy S#%t, this is good, and so easy!! Plus it's good for you, I can't eat pasta at all, it doesn't do well in my tummy so I needed this!! I got mine at Walgreen's, and I have seen it at Walmart too. The person who told me about it got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond? So it's around. Just in case!!!

    Pain & constipation day 5

    Oh sweetie, it does get better, I had the worst time at the beginning of mine, I had a large upper incision and i had to get staples to close me up, and I was in pain like that for about a week then I was in more pain because the staples hurt. Not everyones experience is the same, and I know it seems like it won't get better but it does. I would just drink, drink, drink as much as you can for right now. Don't get discouraged, believe me I thought with all that happen I made a mistake doing it but now I am 56lbs down in 3 months and a week and I am so happy that I did it now, I still have days where I can't eat very well but I do what I have to, and I am getting better. Good Luck!!!

  7. Having a hard time today with eatting, everything keeps feeling like it's getting stuck???

    1. butterflypinup

      butterflypinup

      :( Im sorry hon. If its too dry it will. Im not going to lie. I drink a little water with food to make sure its not lumping in my chest.I figure after months of vomiting everyday that little bit that might get pushed through with my water will be okay. If i can chew it and make it mooshy enough in my mouth its going to be an unpleasant feeling like an elephant on my chest.
    2. butterflypinup

      butterflypinup

      i hope it goes away for you. I know that feeling and you are not alone.

    3. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Yeah butterfly I know that elephant in the chest thing, ugh it stinks but I have tried the water thing and it seems to just help me bring it up not push it down even when I do chew it up to mush? I just have to keep trying things and move forward I guess???? Thanks Alot!!!

    Training for a 5 k - BIG deal for me!

    Sparklingbeauty, the color run is the same they throw powder paint at you so as your running and sweating the powder turns into paint!!! A friend of mine did it last week and after a couple days she still had paint on her though??? Crazy!!!
  9. 3 mile walk yesterday and I am sore, but feeling good!!!

    1. pupichupi

      pupichupi

    Training for a 5 k - BIG deal for me!

    That is amazing that you have even walked the 5k I couldn't even do that. I have however since I have lost the weight been wanting to try one, I want to try one of those electric, or paint runs, you know the ones that they throw paint at you or what have you. I think it would be fun. I am and never have been a runner, but I need something that I can start to enjoy? I have to get motivated for more exercise. I have now lost 54lbs and I am psyced about that, but I need more off cause my knees still kill me. Well good luck with your running!!!

      Thanks girls. @BladeFox I know right, I went down to my basement and pulled up a tote of cloths that I can now fit into and I was super excited cause I found a pair of shorts that fit so perfectly, and they looked good too, my hubbyman was just like holy how, he was so funny!!!

  15. So I am getting daring. I decided yesterday I wanted to try something different, and I made Chicken Marsala, and put it over Quinoa, and OMG So good!!! Even the kids and the hubbyman liked it??? Lets see what I can find next!!!

    1. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      lol, my girlfriend is a vegan, and she eats alot of tofu, she made it for me once and I was not about it, but to each their own, I don't hate on it, I will try anything once, well except liver!!! lol, I LOVE to cook and try new things all the time!!! I just wish buying food to try things wasn't so darn expensive!! lol

    2. Miss Mac

      Miss Mac

      Liver is do-able, but you gotta mince it up real small and put it in something with a bold flavor, like Mexican food. I was an anorexic/anemic teenager with major B vitamin and folate deficiencies, and a Mexican neighbor made tostadas or tacos for me twice a week with the liver hidden in it. It got me well. My mother made the shoe leather fried liver crap which I could not stand.

       

      Since being sleeved, I get extra pleasure out of experimentng in the kitchen to help me meet nutritional goals.

      BigGirlPanties

      lol @ Miss Mac ... my mom made it the same way (but I still love it)...pork chops too...because she bought the thin cuts and cooked them like center cuts... let's just say she wasn't a very good cook...bless her :)

  19. So tired today!!! I am ready to fall out, even though I slept last night?

  20. pupichupi

    How long?

    Oh wow, but there is no emergency cases, cause I have talked to people from canada on here before and they didn't say anything about a 3-5 year wait? That is crazy!!!
  21. pupichupi

    How long?

    Holy Cow, 3-5 YEARS? Thats nuts, I was in within a couple weeks for my first doc appt, and in 7 months I had my Surgery, and after 4 years I just had my 2nd surgery cause I had the band and now I have bypass, and this time I had my surgery after 4 months after my first doc appt? I would do some more investigation into Doctors and stuff like that, I have heard of countries saying you can start the process but you won't get the surgery for a year after you start seeing the doctor, and I live in US? I would call your insurance company and see if they can help you!!! Good Luck!!!

    Month long stall

    Hi Michele1az, I am not as far as you but I would say go back to the basics, I don't know what your diet now is like, but try to do the liquid diet thing for a week and see if that pushes your body over that plateau that your sitting on. Also what do you do for exercise? Are you a heavy exerciser or light? Maybe if your a light exerciser do a little more than you would normally, and see if that also helps? I am 3 months out next week and I feel like I need to ramp up my exercise cause I am only loosing like 2 lbs a week and even though I am almost to 50lbs down, I still have like 100 to go? Remember it's your body and your body is going to tell you when you can't loose anymore, and 228 at 5'7 is still in the overweight catagory. I know I am 5'8 and I still weight 250, so I would try tricking your body!!! Keep up the good work!!!
  23. I don't know whats going on with me lately but I am struggling with all my food, I chew chew chew but it still feels like something is blocking it from going into my pouch. I just want to feel normal to a degree of normal?

    1. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      Yeah Blade that is what I think I am going to have to do, I have been doing alot of brothy soups and stuff like that since I been feeling this way so I will get back on track!!! I know there are times when I do eat, I am so used to eatting one way that I just forget to chew but I think about it after and I remember on that next bite!!! lol

    2. BladeFox

      BladeFox

      It happens. Everytime, I have problems with eating, even when I'm chewing good and food just feels stuck, I will go back to soft and voila' a weight loss. You may actually reach your 50lbs by the end of the week lady!

    3. pupichupi

      pupichupi

      I hope your right blade!!! I would really like that considering it is only 3 lbs that I need to loose this week to hit the 50??? LOL
