Thank you very much for your feedback!!

Seems like your on the right track 20 pounds is awesome congrats! I've been thinking of picking up one of those nutribullets myself.

I know I can't be on them forever and I was excited to finally try some food too. Refried beans didn't sit well, egg whites made me feel sick, yogurt wasn't horrible but i still felt kinda gross. So I just threw my hands up and went back to shakes!

One of my best friends has pretty much alienated me since the surgery. We had a weekend ritual of drinking heavily and BBQ'in all night and that doesn't fit in my plan anymore. I tried finding other activities we can do together but he doesn't seem happy about my new restrictions. It disappoints me but getting healthy is…

I highly recommend the book titled "The Big Book on The Gastric Sleeve" by Alex Brecher. It is by far the most in depth book regarding the surgery and decision leading up to it, as well as helpful post op tips. I had my sleeve on 5/5/14 and am so happy I did. The following is a excerpt: The vertical sleeve gastrectomy, or…

I had mine 5/5/14 and feel similar bubbles after I take sips of anything, I've been finding standing up right when you get that feeling helps.

Thanks bro ham! :)

Yes I can say as of today any discomfort from the surgery has subsided and I'm feeling much better. I can feel my clothes starting to get loose as well just being a few days out is insane! Thanks for the info about your routine and I look forward to being at day 12 myself

Thank you brotha!

Thank you! I kept hearing about the small drinks that I would be able to take afterward but I wasn't really prepared for how small, I would call it sips rather then drinks :) but it's all a learning process and I'm so motivated to be successful!

Thank you so much for kind words and support!!

Picked up a juicer today, thank you!

Thank you!

I lost 70 before surgery, because it was almost 9 months from the start of my process (my insurance required 6 months in the program before they would even schedule the sleep test, EGD, etc.) until I had my surgery. I have lost 84 since, and I feel amazing, and you will too! Please keep us all posted on your progress!…

Thank you so much for the positive words and congratulations on your progress! Your progress is inspiring!

Thank you! Your just a few days out yourself, hope you have a fast recovery as well.
