What? Seriously? Are you kidding? Please tell me you're kidding.

Well, you have nothing to worry about it. You'll win your bet. There was never any doubt in my mind that I woukd make it
And I...

WOWEEE! That's incredible! Congratulations! I bet you feel like a million bucks!

Thank you. XO This brought tears to my eyes. I know deep down I am beautiful no matter what size. We all are! However, after any type of surgery, no one feels exactly sexy lol. I feel at a all time...

<3 you! Your weight loss is an inspiration to me!

My mom also "kicked me out if the family" by telling me she was no longer going to talk or text me. This was because of something really stupid...

All I did was take my pills all the way through and not skip the week the of placebo pills to make sure I would not get my period right after or before surgery. Every GYN I have ever spoken to said...

I'm not eating anything before it's time! I am not eating anything not on my prescribed list. That's one reason why I am so hungry! If I led anyone to believe to believe that, it was a...

Actually, yes, I can imagine a starving child turning down a protein shake, especially if given the choice between a protein shake or a plate full of rice and protein. My husband was born and raised...

Thank you. That is exactly where I can feel the hunger. When I feel it, I cannot concentrate on anything and this is when I am most likely to start crying softly in private so my son cannot hear me....

Yes. I was also concerned about the sugar in a fruit smoothie. I was going to ask my brother to bring me Jamba Juice the other day but then I thought- NO WAY- those are filled with carbs and sugar,...

Now I understand what probably causes the 3 week stall! Most people are on puréed or soft foods by then, so more fat and calories, but less hunger. I don't even care about the stall right now. I'm...

Oh thank GOD you remember how it was in the beginning. I have done some googling about hunger so shortly after gastric sleeve surgery and many people report they experienced it while others report no...

Oh, no! That's a terrible feeling- nausea or if it was the "other" one from the other end. Both are just awful.

My surgeon instructions are week 2 and 3 only full liquid. I know all surgeons are...

Thanks Pam. I have no doubt that protein shakes you make yourself taste way better than store bought. I tolerated them before on my pre op diet, but I will not get near one now. If protein shakes are...

Hey Shirl. Thanks for the feedback. Not sure how much fiber in my protein drinks. In bed now. Will look tomorrow. I do have more than one kid. Premiere and muscle Milk. Still, I wretch at the very...

There are times when I feel absolutely famished. I really don't think it's head hunger as I physically feel the deep emptiness from within. I practically want to chew off my own arm. It's that...

I will be getting a tummy tuck, breast lift and reduction eventually. I used to have a 26 inch waist in my teens and 20's. It was a beautiful thing.i used to wear a lot of midriff baring tops- which...

Hello! I grew up in that gegeral area (Calabasas). I like Ventura county a lot. Loved driving through and stopping along the way to head to Santa Barbara. Wished I still lived there!

Welcome!

I wish I could be of more help. I am only 6 days out and in the buyer's remorse stage. Most here who have gotten over this bump will tell you they do not regret their decision at all.

I'm pretty...

I feel like I am famished all the time. I actually cried this morning because I felt so hungry.

I'm happy for you that your persistence paid off. I have a young child too (age 9) and I want to be able to get into a bathing suit next summer without being ashamed so I can play with him. Plus, I...

I'm the same number of days out as you and I am not even close to fulfilling my protein or water intake. I just...can't. Physically cannot. I wish I were having an easier time of it.

However, I...

It's less expensive- plus people have had good experiences. I read in other countries it varies. In Jordan, for example, the procedure costs $4000 yet in New Zealand, it costs $20,000.

I paid out...

Oh, no! :/

Hello there, Sarah! I am day 3 post op and this clear liquid diet is for the birds! Ugh! I don't blame you for being excited to move on the next stage. I wish I could fast forward time myself.

I got my sleeve on September 6th, only I am in the US. I hope you continue to do well post op!

I'm now mostly feeling discomfort (not really pain) in my abdomen and I am having a hard time eating...
