Happiness. Fitting in a regular sized isolation gown and I could tie the waist and the neck without chocking me. The things you don't realize truly affect your daily lives. Before I had to always order X large gowns and hide them so no one would use them.

Hello all! I am excited that I found this group! I am a 39 year old mother of a handsome eight year old son and a wife of 8 years! I am hoping to get my life back. I have always been a big lady but I found myself at my highest weight. For many years I did phentermine pills but after my son i hated how i felt and the pills stopped working. I just kept adding on the pounds. I was so sad to go to a amusement park and was kicked off a ride because I did not fit. I was sleeved on June 17, 2013 and am excited to say that on July 27, 2013 I got on a ride at the same park with my son! It was snug but I fit! I am excited to have many more experiences like this ????

HI. I am now 6 weeks 4 days out from my sleeve. NOW' date=' I feel like this is a strange question so soon after surgery. but I am just now able to eat ALMOST normal. And I feel like I am eating too much and am kind of scared. I get a little owey if I get a bite or two too much, but never feel sick or anything. My surgeon told me yesterday that I can have as much as 900 calories, and I think I am a bit under that. But still feel worried. Is any June sleevers experiencing that?[/quote']

I did....had the same problem....I thought I made a mistake! Doc says all is well! And now 7 weeks out I'm not eating enough! Go figure! I'm stalled too so double frustration....hang in there!

i was sleeved on 6/24 trying to be more creative in what i eat as it is getting a bit boring but I won't do anything i am not supposed to yet. I had to fly today and flight connecting times were tight, so stopped at McDonalds next to my gate, got a cheeseburger - only ate the meat and cheese with some mustard and the onions.

Thanks for Premier Protein - but hard to take when i fly

But what about chicken, ,, I have heard so many say they struggle with chicken - why is that? is there a best way to have it?

I have a problem with white meat. My Nut says that a lot of sleevers have this problem and should try to eat dark meat because it tends to be more tender and juicier than white meat and our skeeves are able to handle it better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
