    Hey, ya I'm 10 days out today! It was the roughest week I've had in my life! But I'm much better now! I was in the hospital 4 nights.. It was supposed to be just one night but I had complications with my heart rate and potassium levels.. (I have an internal pain pump so the dr had to do the surgery all on the left side)
    I loved dr siddqui.. I mean I wanted out of the hospital sooo bad, but I felt like he was really covering all the bases before letting me out!
    My first week was horrible pain, but come day 7 a switch flipped and I suddenly felt like I was gonna survive!
    Today's day 10 & I've lost 21lbs.. I swear I was so shocked & grateful! I go back for follow up Tuesday..I've had some vomiting and pain but really feel I'm gonna live.
    I know this sounds negative, I just wanted to be real..and at the end if the day, I'm gonna make it! Good luck! Keep me updated

2 Months Post-op on Monday

by aanderson on 11-24-2013 at 02:11 AM
It will be 2 months on Monday and I am down 40 lbs, I am averaging 5 lbs a week....I am really happy with that! I added a picture showing me down 83 lbs, I lost 43 lbs over the last year, but it was so slow and I would go up a few and then down 1 or 2 lbs so that is why I decided to get sleeved.

I still can't seem to eat chicken unless it's in a chicken salad with light mayo. I have it with half a serving of wheat thins so I can get some fiber and crunch in. I still haven't tried

Fluctuating Weight

by aanderson on 11-15-2013 at 10:54 PM
I am a little over 6 weeks out and realize my weight likes to fluctuate for a week to 10 days before it drops. I will go up and down about 3 lbs every day and then all of a sudden will drop 2-3 lbs past the lowest I had been at that week. Good thing is I don't let it discourage me because I know that in a week or so, it will drop some more and that is what matters in the end.

I am down 39 lbs, tomorrow it will be 37 lbs and then back to 39 lbs before it drops to 41 lbs down in another

We're all adults right? So here's a thought.....

by aanderson on 10-18-2013 at 11:56 PM
If anyone on here has an issue or is not comfortable with what others post, perhaps letting that person know privately before reporting him or her would be the adult thing to do, a nicer way to handle it too right?

I mean I am a big girl, and I don't mean that in the physical sense but in maturity. So if I am offended by someone's post 1) I just won't read anymore posts from that person, and 2) I would much rather tell that person privately that his or her post upset me. Maybe simply

I'm movin' on up....to soft foods in my tummy!

by aanderson on 10-14-2013 at 11:59 PM
Tomorrow I start the soft foods stage and I cannot wait! Not because I want to pig out but because I want to get in enough protein each day. I completely stopped with the protein shakes, I don't care what brand, flavor or no flavor, cost, they are all BAD BAD BAD!!!! Made me so sick the first week as many of you know, and when I stopped drinking them, I felt so much better.

I know I need a certain amount of protein each day but the first 2 weeks after surgery my main concern
