I"m in the Bellaire area. I was sleeved May 6. How is it going with you? :-)

[karritous 17]

Pretty well. Getting Protein and Water intake ok. Stated purée phase on Wednesday. Go to the dr for 2 wk post op visit and to the nutritionist on Friday. Very fatigued, but doing ok so far.

Believe me, you will feel better with every day. You will be a new woman before you know it! The fatigue will take some time if you are like me, but it is different than the pre surgery exhaustion I had from so much excess weight. I am a lot more energetic some days, but usually I drag if I don't get enough either Protein, carbs or Water. I don't get hungry at all, so really have to push myself to take breaks at work and eat or drink. It's easier for me on weekends. I can't believe someone offered me a piece of Cadbury's chocolate today and I wasn't even slightly tempted! So happy about that- you don't even know what a chocoholic I was before! Keep me updated and feel free to ask or vent about anything

Oh, almost forgot. It would be fun to get together sometime. I want to attend my program's support group sessions the first Wednesday of every month but always seem to have plans or out of town those days. I don't personally know anyone who has had the sleeve so it would be great to have a Houston buddy to get together with occasionally.

July 2nd for me too. I'm still kinda weak and get fatigued easily. Walking seems to help more than anything. A friend tells me all of this is normal.

[HappyCat 70]

Are you in Houston, too, Francieb?

[Francieb 15]

No, Oklahoma. Still feeling my way as far as what the little guy can tolerate food wise.

Hey OK neighbor! It's like they say, sort of like a new baby's tummy. I still like my milk, yogurt and Vitamin Water zero as reliable go-to intake. I also puréed Wendy's chili and added plain Greek yogurt, a teaspoon of chopped avocado and a pinch of shredded cheddar in the soft/mushy stage. Still love it and a small order lasts for a couple of days.

Hi Kary

I was sleeved June 25 so far up to two days ago I was feeling great! But all of the sudden my incisions are hurting and having some heart burns :-( not able to even drink my shake that Zi love. I guess its part of the game

I'm in Katy and have met another girl ghat lives on the South side. I told her we should get together when ever we can eat solids so we can feel some what normal when eating out and not being looked at like we are crazy for eating so little... Lol good luck and hauler if you need us
