I am not feeling to bad was sleeved by Dr Lopez Corvala on 10/23. He was great and so was everyone on his team. I am only 3 days post op.

Just got back today from the beach. This is my first trip since losing 100lbs. I was sleeved 6/22/17. I in no way have a beach ready body but physically I felt great. I don't remember the last time I was able to walk miles on the beach without pain, being short of breath, or just uncomfortable. Had a great time and felt great the whole trip. Even got to enjoy some gulf seafood. So glad I had the surgery. Last pic was taken at my daughters wedding the day before our trip.

I did get some good news. My A1C is only 10%. I thought it was 14%. Still, the remaining 2% or so won't be easy. For me, sweets aren't the thing. Carbs like breads and fries are.

Wow getting close! Good luck just keep positive and follow guidelines and you'll be fine. It's overwhelming at first figuring out what to eat the first few weeks but then gets easier.

Premier is the best shake - low in calories and sugar with lots of protein....2 of them a day helped me reach my protein requirements for the 1st year post op.

This is something that I thought about doing for a while, by a while I mean over 2 years. I have finally gotten to the point where I am now being tested for sleep apnea and NOTHING I do drops weight. So of course I just go back to eating junk. I scheduled my initial consultation with the surgeon and now that I have....I feel like the appointment is TOO FAR AWAY! How is that even possible? Has anyone else had this struggle....where you didn't want surgery.....then finally decided and wanted it done yesterday? How did you deal?

I'm about three days out. I have lots of gas causing cramps. The major paid is surface sourness from the incisions. It get painful/uncomfortable when I consume to 3 ounces. I asked my doctor about that, he said it's normal, and my capacity will increase. I have yes to feel "hunger" like before. If the pain is after you eat, then you'r filling yourself up... I think I know that feeling now, and it comes SOOO easy.

Okay, my surgery tomorrow so ready to get that part over with.

I didn't start seeing loss until 3 weeks after surgery. It will happen. Many of us have had the same problem with doing everything we are supposed to but nothing changes, then you just start dropping weight like crazy.
