Just remember....you didn't do this for your surgeon...or anyone else but yourself! Be happy in you...whatever your weight, height, hair color, age, color of shirt,...etc, etc....lol

Hi, Haven't been on in a while but wanted to check in and tell everyone to "keep the faith"! You guys are such an inspiration to everyone thinking about weight loss surgery (I know you were to me). Have had a little set back with my cancer (treatments not working so discussing other options)...

Hey! Just checking on everyone! You've made a lot of progress since I was last on here. Congrats!

There are a lot of us on here. Yay! Hope we all stay in touch and keep each other updaged. Have not had the problem with shoulder pain after eating. I gravitate towards constipation now too so have to be careful as well. For those of you with joint problems, have you noticed a difference? I...

I just want to say thank you to all of you "long-timers" for being here and listening. It would be very easy for you to forget about the rest of us once you reach your goals but thank you for coming back again and again to help support the rest of us!

I do okay with diet soda. Do better if it sits awhile but do burp a lot but...the burping makes my stomach feel better actually...go figure.

Same here....fall asleep quickly...but wake up frequently and have trouble falling back asleep... :(

Having same problem. Had some smaller sizes but none for the size I currently am. Bought a pair of jeans in December which are now too big. Bought another pair a couple of weeks ago that are starting to get "baggy in the butt" already! I'm very tall so buying pants at least from second hand...

Good to hear from you all...lol Sounds like we're all making progress. My doc told me the weight loss would come off like steps but not every step is equal (i.e. some weeks I lose more than others). So as long as a little comes off each week I'm thrilled! Though I'm struggling with the clothes...

Jules, What's the folate/folic acid content in those Papaya pills?

No "strip tease" stories yet thank goodness. My hubby and I did have a good laugh over the double take I got from a waitress in a restaurant that we hadn't been to in awhile. She looked at me and asked if I was okay...lol...I said "yes"....and she said, "Okay, 'cause you got...."....and here she...

Hi, Just curious to see how other gastric sleeve patients are doing and how much you've lost so far? Any problems or concerns as you go through your journey?

Hooray!! Congratulations!

I think most of us have felt what you're feeling. I did the "last supper" ritual as well. To sum it up quick....it's better after the surgery....lol. For me the "cravings" were better after the liquid diet. After a month of liquids, greek yogurt sounded downright sinful! Hang in there and keep...

Freakin' awesome!!! Congratulations!

Yay! Happy Birthday!

You can find Butter Buds on the spice aisle of most grocery stores. It's a powdered no-calorie (or very low) butter substitute.

Hey Angela, I had the sleeve too. I hit a stall about the 3rd week where I didn't lose anything which freaked me out. Got great advice from everyone here. Told me to check my protein intake and my water intake. Both were on the low side. Once I corrected it kicked off the weight loss again. My...

Most definitely too much! Again to reiterate, the author was NOT a bariatric specialist. You will need to adjust the amounts to make a smaller batch or nurse it all day or trash the excess. Your surgeon's guidelines should always come first!

Maybe add "joint pain". I still have arthritis but the joint pain is a lot less. Also, might still have some sleep apnea but hubby says "snoring" is better....lol
