  • Thank you all. I am now dealing with a loss. I guess it was just not meant to be. I am on an emotional roller coaster, being sad about my loss, but being overjoyed for the birth of one of my grandchildren last Friday, and my next grandson in a few short weeks. This has been hard. I have been very bad with my eating. I need…
  • Thank you! I am 39 as well. I am excited, but just wasn't expecting it!
  • Yes! I was sleeved 8/30/13. My old feeling of full, and my new feeling of full are very different! It took me a while to get the hang of it LOL! I ate really, really slow, and was very thoughtful of every bite. I was able to figure it out, and so will you - it just takes a bit of time and effort. Good luck! :)
  • This is actually my 18 year old daughter - sorry. I should have mentioned this. I forgot my picture has my youngest one in it. I will not make changes to her diet without running it by the Dr first - I was just hoping to get some ideas to run by her on Tues when we have her next appt. Thank you for your lovely advice. I…
  • Also wondering if diet may help her spleen as well?
  • Wow! That's great that you have been able to cut down on your heart meds. It sounds like I just have to keep trucking along LOL! Thank you ladies!
  • Welcome! I was sleeved 8/30/13 - I feel great, and am down 55 LBS so far. I hope you have a great, and successful recovery/journey!
  • I haven't come across anyone that hasn't been happy for me. When I tell them what I had done, every single answer so far has been " congratulations! Good for you!" Everyone knows I have been struggling with my weight, and how unhealthy I was. I had been really struggling the last 5 years after I had an injury to my neck…
  • Thanks! And you were right - I was only able to finish about 1/4 to 1/2 of the beer in about 45 minutes time. I think I nursed it enough where I did not really feel an effect from the alcohol except maybe a slight headache. Sure was yummy though!! And I did have the burps something awful with each sip! :)
  • Thank you both! I am STILL waiting for a call from my Dr. I called and left another message with them, so hopefully I will hear back tomorrow. I did revert to a liquid diet today. Seemed to help a bit. :)
  • Hello! I had mine 8/30/13 - it has been a little tough to get the hang of it (for me) but I am chugging along. Nice to see you!
  • I was at the bank 6 weeks after having my 4th child. The teller asked for my ID. She looked at the weight on it and said teller "you've gained a lot of weight since this picture was taken, huh?" me; "ummm, yeah..." teller; ' Well it looks like you gained it in all the right places"
  • Hi Chris! I am about 4 1/2 weeks out. Still getting a hang of the ropes lol. I hope all goes well with your journey!

  • I am 4 weeks out from surgery. My surgery date was 8/30/13. I am down 40 pounds all together including pre-op diet. So far, I am happy I had my sleeve, but battling with constant hunger. It also seems my stomach is bigger than most people's after this surgery, and I have to really be mindful not to overeat. I am hoping…
  • Thank you so much for replying! I don't have another appointment with my Dr and Nut until Oct 27th! When I try to call for advice, they bump me around so much that it is two full days before I can even leave a message for a return call - IF I get a return call. But you are right, I will be more persistent and try again! :)…
  • Welcome! I had my sleeve done 8/30/13. I am down about 45 pounds. 25 pounds right before surgery, and 20 since surgery. I feel GREAT! I wish you the best!
