March 2014 Sleevers

[Chanlissa 15]

My husband and I had our surgery 3/14...I too, sadly, seem to be able to eat anything...I have lost 25 lbs total but 10 was prior to surgery...I was hoping the weight would be falling off like it was with the pre-op diet but it's not...week 2-3 did not lose anything...a bit of a bummer but slow and steady wins the race, so I've been told. How have you been doing?

I think it's great that you and your husband did it together. That's awesome to have someone to go through this with who can completely related. I have a friend who had Lapband a couple of years ago, and had been super supportive and informative!

I am doing well, but I really have to work on my will power, because this weekend I have not been focused at all, and am constantly cramming things into my pouch lol. I think when I'm back to work Monday it will be better though, because I'm too busy to be greedy.

I had my surgery 3/21 and as of 4/7 I was down 28 lbs including pre-surgery diet. I am only weighing myself on Monday, so we'll see tomorrow if I hit a stall. I know I already feel better and can move better, so I'm do happy. Not worried about a stall because I know it will eventually come off, and I can't wait to throw on some spring/summer dresses!

uh-no... I could not take it, the family was cooking on the grill. I did it. I had an entire brat sausage link. I ate it slow, and chewed chewed chewed. I am really really FULL. I feel so quilty. My surgery was only on 3/20. This was about 15 min. ago, so far so good. But I am not going to do that again. I see the doc on Friday for my 2nd post op, and was hoping for stage 3. This was way too much.. fingers crossed.

Good luck Maggie!

I had a very low energy day today. Spent a lot of time in bed and napping. I just don't get how some people are back to normal and I'm still dragging.

What stage are you in? That's a little heavy for only being sleeved on 3/20. My stomach hurts just thinking about eating something like that lol. Well good luck either way. Temptation is hard, but I would think it would be best to try and nip it in the bud in the beginning.

I started my blog 5 years ago when I had LapBand surgery, it was & continues to be a great support system for me . When I need inspiration to keep going it helps to review where my road has taken me. You will be glad you did it?

I'm beginning to think I need to quit reading some of these posts. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today. I've only lost 7 lbs since surgery, the rest was pre-op. I had trouble with liquids and just this week tried yogurt and cottage cheese. I have to say, I am really glad you all are losing weight but it depresses the hell out of me.

I don't know what to say except that every journey will be different. Also, liquids are very important to losing, keeping trying to get your liquids in. This is YOUR journey.

Before I had the surgery I read a lot of old posts, and soooo many people said they regretted having the surgery. But, when you look at their later posts they say it's the best decision they ever made. Sorry you're having such a hard time :-( just try to remember that is temporary, and eventually you'll forget this time ever existed :-) (especially wily you're out shopping for new clothes!). Everyone one is healing at a different rate, and before you know it, other people will be wishing they are where you are.
