Introducing myself



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm Melanie. I'm a 34 year old mom of 4. I've struggled with weight since puberty, and finally decided enough was enough. I had my sleeve last Tuesday, the 2nd. Everything went well. The first couple days were rough, more emotionally than physically. Things seem to be getting easier every day ;)

Anyhow, just wanted to say hi. I'm very grateful to have found this place :)

Congrats Melanie! I had my sleeve also on the 2nd. We will be in this journey together. Had a great couple of last days, but think I felt a little too good yesterday, because today I feel kinda drug out from probably doing too much. Not really eating anything just trying to get the Protein in. Haven't lost anything in the last three days though. First couple lost 5 or 6 so don't know about that. Keep posting on how y

Yay a buddy! Lol. My dr says only shakes and zero calorie drinks for 2 weeks. Having a REALLY hard time getting shakes down. I got some clear Protein I'm adding to my Vitamin waters and that's better. I'm down 15 so far

Go Girl! I got the EAS chocolate Shakes and added ice to them to make a shake. Haven't been able to get but maybe 1 1/2 per day down. Was that 15 since surgery date? I had lost 12 before surgery and 6 since but none in last 3 days. Uhhhh, can't understand that one. Maybe need to make sure I get Water and more Proteins in.
