August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[pinkbwlr16 20]

I'm getting my surgery on the 21st I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and was doing great while I was at work but when I get home I wanna order out so bad I know I need to do this to lose weight...just need to vent

I'm on day 3 too, but find myself fighting the urges while I'm at work and find it easier while I'm at home. From what people have told me, the first 3 days are the hardest, then from there its a breeze. Totally understand the venting, my friends hear it from me.

Morning all ...last night was rough. I was laying flat in the bed and my incision on the right side was hurting. I guess it doesnt like laying flat, i was too far over and I had a lot of trouble getting up. Took 3 trys of my bf helping me. I finally got to the bathroom and the nausea hit me. Thank god my mom filled my script for the "ondansetron". My bf ran the pills into me. I popped one in my mouth, got up..rushed to bed, he got me the trashcan and a cool rag for my head and i went back to sleep. Woke up around 4 or 5 and took another one, still felt crappy....and finally got up at 815....took another one for precaution sake. Not sure what happened. I haven't really been nauseous. Still having the gas pains in the tummy but they are getting better. My legs feel crampy. I wonder if im dehydrated. I feel like im fitting in as much Isopure and Water as I can. My sleeve is only so big! I have yet to finish a whole bottle of it, but im getting cl

oser. I have my post Op visit tomorrow afternoon...and i think weds or thurs I can add in milk based things (creamed Soup, soy milk, Protein shakes) That will be good. Decided last night to go to the food store website and add stuff to the cart, turns out they will do the shopping for you for 10 dollars and you just pick it up!! That will save me a lot of stress walking around in the store seeing all the yummy foods that i can't have any more. So, I saved my list

Okay so the good part...Today I weighed in at 253.8. My first goal was taking off 25 lbs from my highest. Today.... I am 26.6 lbs down from my highest (280.4 on july 11th). I am down 10.2 since surgery day (wednesday)

Yesterday I said goodbye 280s, 270s, 260s...hopefully tomorrow I'll be saying goodbye 250's

Have a great day everyone!!

So sorry to hear of your struggles futureskinnypants.....HOWEVER!!!....your weightloss is amazing! Stay positve and keep up the great work!

Well, had a day of firsts yesterday. I started my seven day liquid diet. It hasn't been too bad so far. I got really hungry a couple of times but just drank Water and got through it. Even took my daughter to Taco Bueno and wasn't tempted to sneak a bite of anything! Also went to my first support group meeting. And I also had my first night using a CPAP. I didn't do too badly, but I did have to take an Ambien around 11:00 to actually go to sleep. I'm a bit woozy from it this morning so hopefully I'll only need to use it for a couple of more days.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the Obesity Action Coalition is having its inaugural convention in Dallas this October. It might be a great place for people to meet up. Here's a link to the site: http://www.obesityaction.org/oac-annual-convention.

Six more days!
