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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
