    Re: Aggressive Goals

    Hmmmm.... That's only 3.5 lbs. each week. That sounds reasonable to me. Mine wants me to go for 5 lbs. each week (I have more to lose than you). He explained that the first six months are the best...

    Re: Concerned

    I think rjkimbal was just giving a concerned warning that some people DO regret sleeve surgery. He/she has some kind of complication (twist?) and trouble/pain swallowing everything.

    Re: I'm hurt and out of the gym

    I take daily pain meds for Still's Disease, and they seem to work better now if I take them AFTER a meal.

    Re: Gained 1.5 lbs

    That's normal. Your muscles will fill up with water as they heal (there's a more scientific explanation... you can google it). Stay off the scale for a few weeks.

    My understanding is that you risk serious consequences if you smoke after getting sleeved. Try Chantix--worked like a charm for hubby and me. We were smokers for 20+ years and had tried everything...

    Re: tastebud status report

    I don't know about others, but my sleeve does NOT like fried food. As soon as it lands, I start gurgling, then burping, then vomiting. This has been a huge "gift" because I love fried food, so now...

    I feel like I taste things more "clearly" since surgery. Or more fully. I don't know what to call it. For example, today I had a small piece of mango ginger stilton cheese, and the flavors were so...
