Auto-immune sleevers? - So my doctor called me this morning and said my two month post-op blood work came back and I have low iron.  It isn't VERY low, but it needs to be supplemented.  I sort of suspecte...

Two month Surgiversary! - I can't believe its been two months--although I hardly remember what it was like eating only liquid for two weeks afterwards!  It's funny how our brains block that stuff out! I'...

7 Weeks Post-Op - I haven't blogged in quite awhile.  Life happened, and I started being able to cope more on my own without the crutch of support the online community has given me.  I missed it her...

23 Days Post-Op Part 2 - I had to write an addendum to my post for the 23rd day Post-op, because today I ate a tiny salad.  I COULDN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE!  I used to eat a salad every day, and I haven't b...

Congratulations! I'm so glad you got to go shopping the other day...

23 Days Post Op -- Hangin' in there! - I finally shook the sheer exhaustion that's been plaguing me for days now.  I don't think this was sleeve-related.  The lady at disease control at the health department said that I...

Day 19 Post-Op OMG! - I'm SOOOO tired.  Sweet Baby, Mother, and Joseph, I'm exhausted!  My husband contracted Legionnaires disease and is coughing up blood, my mother in law has been diagnosed with ...

Day 15 Post-op --First Mistake! - Today, my husband and I went to whole foods (a real indulgence with the economy being what it is today) and they have all these lovely samples, right? So, I'm not actually hungr...

Week 2 Post-op!!! Puree Day! My hips are half a f - H*ly Crap! I can't believe it!  My hips are actually six inches smaller than they were on the 6th of THIS VERY SAME MONTH! My thighs are all be-dimpled as I lose pockets of f...

Believe me, the hard part is definitely getting over! You kept some...

Day 13 Post-op-- Feeling Zen, Inner Peace - I don't know if maybe I'm getting too philosophical, but I feel more peaceful inside since I had surgery.  It's like the noise in my head telling me "I'm hungry, I'm craving, eat e...

You're doing great honey! Just think, the surgery is OVER and...

Day 10 Post-op-- First Post-op checkup! - Down 13 pounds from surgery day! I got to speak to some ladies today about my surgery experience.  It was nice to be able to reassure others, when I myself was in need of reassu...

For me, it was one of those things--like quitting smoking for me,...

Day 6 Post-Op --Doing better! - Yesterday was pretty bad, I was really tired and grumpy.  Today I feel much better, though I still feel a bit run down.  I guess that's to be expected since my body is actually and...

Day 6 Post Op-- TIRED! - It hit me all at once, I'm tired and cold and feeling sick. I don't know if I caught a bug, or more likely my body is just in hard-core starvation territory.  I had to be very d...

Day 5 Post Op--Tiny Coffee Flavored Protein Meal - I love coffee, but I've never overindulged (not since college).  I drink one cup, maybe two cups a day when it's particularly challenging waking up. Since before my pre-op liqui...

We'll definitely have to exchange notes! :)

Day 4 Post Op--Delicious food! - I'm so happy with what I've been eating--every spoonful is a delight to me now!  Today for lunch I had about 3oz of tomato/beef broth and for dinner, I had about 3oz of chicken/hum...

Day 4 Post Op- Is this really happening? Scary! - My double chin is nearly gone--yes, that double chin I've had for my entire life is almost gone!  My waist even seems to be a couple inches thinner, but I'll need to find my measur...
