    "good suggestions" I don't really have any for this faze as I hated the liquid diet. I was on Isopure ,Clear broth and jello. I have never been a soup eater so this part of the surgery really sucked for me. I did like the unjury chicken soup as a change up but couldn't eat a lot of it. I did go to a Mexican restrauant and eat the broth only of the meat ball soup and the tortilla soup... that was soooo delish! Jello with unflavored unjury in it was pretty good. if you go to the unjury website they have some things you can make and see if you like them. That's were I got the Protein Jello with unjury in it. I just forced down the Isopure but try some out and see if you like them they are a good source of protein. Right now the only thing you should be worried about is getting some fluids in like water or flavored waters to keep you hydrated. sip sip sip all day if you have to. Sugar free popcycles where my life line. I ate those all day long. Sorry I don't come in here offen but I will try and check in more. again Congrats!!!
    Oh sometimes a heating pad on my tummy made it feel better but I'm a big heat person. I like warm things

    NICE!!! Congrats! I'm sorry you had to stay in the hospital so long. It looks like they got you back to normal. The crying afterwards is what I think everyone does. I did the same thing... I was like I'm going to starve and die why did I do this!!! but just like you said after that little hump it gets better and it only gets better and Better! I think after week two I looked at my legs and was like HELL YEAH I HAVE ANCLES!!! LOL

    Oh you are getting your sleeve TODAY!!!! You will! The first couple of weeks are not too fun but just hang on, take care of yourself... Remember you come first. I still get some negativity from some people but I just say Nope Me first... I need to eat when I need to eat and what I eat is my business. Oh just a tip always carry something you can eat in your purse because most people eat a lot so they can go for hours without eating. For us that's not so good. I don't know how many times I have kicked myself for not having something to eat and was getting shaky till we got some food. I'm almost a year out so I always carry Jerky as its high in protein and is just so darn good . I know in the beginning you wont be away from home too long but on those liquid day's at least take some water with you where ever you go. I eat about 4 to 5 maybe even 6 times a day but really small portions. You got this!!! I love my Sleeve and now my Daughter wants one

    Keep walking around it helps with the gas Take care!!

  6. Hello guys I am just getting on because my surgery was cancelled and I kept putting it off due to personal and financial reasons...I didn't hop on here feeling like a failure and didn't want to get my hopes up high until I got everything back on track! Well here I am 6-7 moths later and no sleeve but I have my surgery now scheduled for April 28th kinda discouraging thinking I would of been done with it a way back ago! But hey at least I am more informed and more ready then before!!! I am back thank you to all of you who checked on me on here sorry I just got on now....

    Hey Agelique, I don't mind at all that you showed my pictures to your family. Tell your son I said thanks for the compliment. You and I seem to have a lot in common, I also have an adult son, he's 22. Lol!
    It's so exciting, your surgery is in 4 days. I know you're nervous (I was) but its worth it. I really enjoy talking to you, please keep me posted.

    That is what we are all on this site for! Ultimately we all are struggling with our weight. But it is very normal to have some reservations, after all this is a huge change. But one I am ready for, and you are too! Prayers for swift healing for you, and may your surgery be far more simple than the process to get to this point

5 months

by angelique4kids on 09-24-2014 at 02:56 PM
I feel great. I am a few days short of 5 months.And I feel wonderful. I am one of those slow losers LOL I see people lose a lot more than I am but that's ok I could of never got here without sleeve. I remind people all the time its a tool not a miracle surgery where weight disappears. I admit I need to work out more-but as for protein intake -check water intake- check watching what I eat -check .
I have had stalls and those sux. And I really believe by end of year I will be bald!!

Stalled again---almost bald

by angelique4kids on 08-28-2014 at 06:17 PM
Well at another stall but that's ok I am still going down in sizes..don't know how when scale isn't moving but that's alright. As I said in my last post I don't have a scale so I weigh just every now and then which helps a lot! Unfortunately the DREADED HAIR LOSS has come!!! I am losing clumps of hair night and day...all over...does anyone know when the hair stops falling out???
I am a size 18 even fit tight in 16 !! went from 24/26 to the ones....yayaya! I don't regret this at all..THANK

goals???

by angelique4kids on 08-08-2014 at 02:07 PM
I have been sleeved since April 28th and I love it. I have gone thru few stalls but that's ok I feel great and am feeling it in clothes. not seeing it in myself yet..others have but I still don't see it just feel it. Does that make sense??LOL anyways I really haven't had set any goals except a weight I am targeting but not a certain weight needed by a certain date. Should I ? Or will it be too much pressure if I do? Should I or shouldn't I??? Goals good or too much pressure.
I will say my
