I guess my surgery took longer due to the hernia repair. The last doc I went to and who did my endoscopy said I didn't have one, but I did. So my hubby stressed out from that.

I still have pain in my shoulders. It was almost gone and then I had a slime attack and threw up which was no fun task! Oh my gosh it was painful. It was like being punched in the diaphragm where the hernia was repaired.

I'm feeling lots better. It's just weird. Head hunger has been rough. I want some real food!

@@MissBee I know! Me too! Head hunger is a bitch! One you indulge though in a little something you regret it with the discomfort...that's why I'm hoping that will help me!

How are you all doing?

Nicky and miss bea. I was sleeved the 29th. No nausea or vomiting I am happy to report. Glad for this forum. I am learning a lot by reading. Slept a lot after leaving the hospital. Only day 9 out from surgery. Good luck to everyone. Remember, " the urge to quit is the signal that something great is about to happen. "

Hey Everyone, hope you're all doing well.

I'm a 9/22 sleeve guy. Been doing really well. Down 35 pounds, three pant sizes. Loving that.

I have been pretty awful at keeping within the prescribed limits on what you're supposed to eat. I'm not going far outside the bounds, but coloring outside the lines a little. Only trouble I've had is when I've tried to eat food with some spice in it. I really miss the spicy Snacks, Tabasco and spicy green chili. One day, I just gave in to a small number of "Salsa Verde" Doritos, and while I enjoyed them going in, my stomach decided they needed to be immediately "returned to sender." That calmed me down quite a bit. Not a fan of that.

Struggling with restaurants... when I travel and just socially. I honestly have very little appetite. Thought I'd be starving, but I'd rather just have nibbles throughout the day. An actual meal is torture -- too much food, still stuff I'm afraid to eat, others scrutinizing my consumption. My partner (who loves to bake) decided not to make a cake for his birthday because, "No one's going to eat it anyway." Read between the lines on that.

Anyway, things are good. I'm pleased with how I'm doing. Looking healthier, feeling healthier. Hope you are all coming along as well.

How's everyone doing? I'm great! Down 30lbs. 50 more to go! I'm doing good with food and know my limits better and better as time goes on. Not having many issues with food. I did vomit once. I roasted Brussels sprouts and they did not settle well. Haven't tried since lol Im enjoying this new life. I do miss carbs but it hasn't been as hard as I thought! Ps I have one chin!! Hahaha

[nikkycoly 13]

[nikkycoly 13]

I was a September 23rd sleever. I started at 329, surgery weight was 310, I am now down to 220! It's amazing! Hope everyone else is doing well

Hard to believe it has been 11 months! I started at 233 and I am at 146. I haven't lost much in the last month or two. I know I need to get more excercise in and get back to basics.
