In a New York minute -- only 20 years sooner!!!

So glad to hear from you!! I was getting worried. I even posted on here to see if anyone had heard from you. One day at a time. It does get better everyday. Sip,sip,sip & walk,walk, walk. Concentrate on your fluids. That is most important for now.

Has anyone seen or heard from her? She had surgery several days ago. Getting worried.

I am 6 weeks out & honestly I have lost my appetite. I have to remind myself to eat. I eat my 3 meals a day & 3 or so oz totally fill me up. I hope I never get my appetite back!!

Lisa.. so happy this is finally happening for you. Can't wait to follow your journey. Keep us informed as you are able. I wish you a safe and successful surgery and a speedy and easy recovery.

I FINALLY broke my 2 week stall!! I have been stuck at 160 for what seems like forever- 2 weeks..LOL This morning the scale said 158.5!! Slowly but Surely wins the race and I am a WINNER

Thanks Lissa --- takes one to know one

YAY!! Lissa I completely understand how you feel. I broke a stall this morning.

Hubba Hubba!!! You look awesome. Great job!!

Gene--- I am so happy you got your date!! It will be here before you know it and you will be posting all sorts of good things! I can't wait to "watch" the weight fall off you.

Jimmy- worried about you!! Praying everything is okay.

I know kimmy!! i am tickled pink!! Thank you!!

I had surgery on 4/11/12. Today was my 1 month post op visit. I am down 14# since DOS and 30# total since pre-op diet. Dr. says I am right on track and should expect to lose about 1 to 2 # per week from this point on. NUT said 600 cal a day is about what I should be averaging and by 3months out probably close to 800 cal a day. I am one happy girl

Thanks star!!!

I had surgery on 4/11. I am cleared to try ground beef and lettuces this week. Yesteray I had Wendy's chili for lunch. Was able to eat 3 spoons of it. I was stuffed!! Had 3 more spoons for dinner (wasn't as filling as lunch). It went down smoothly and tasted delish!!! Guess whats for lunch?? LOL That $1.25 is going to go a long way. I have my 3 week post op appt tomorrow. Anxious to see what dr office scale says. Everyone is doing a great job!!

Great job!! Keep on keepin on

Looks like our April gang is doing great!! Can't wait to see how everyone progresses.

Yes!! We did it!! May only good things and fewer pounds be in our future.

I was sleeved on 4/11/12 so I am 19 days post op. i was released from the hospital with no restrictions. Before surgery I was working out in the gym 5 nights a week with 2 of those nights taking an hour & 15 min. bosu/cross train class. Very intense similar to boot camp. I was back in the gym on Sat after surgery on Wed. & was back at bosu class this past Thursday. Ready for both classes this week. Not sore at all. Was a little more tired than normal. I think you will be fine. Follow your drs orders. Walk,walk walk & sip,sip,sip!!

Yes just a little over 2 weeks ago. No not a revision.

I was 176 on my surgery day of Apri 11. I started at 227 in Sept 2011.

Kate-- my insurance went by my weight and BMI at my initial doctor's appointment. They highly encouraged weight loss. Gene---Good morning!!

I was sleeved on 4/11 so I am 2 weeks post op today! I had a very easy recovery almost no pain. I didn't even take any pain meds in hospital or when I came home. I do have a very high pain tolerance though. I did get nauseated and I vomited twice the night of my surgery. The first time I vomited it was a dark brown /green liquid ( I'm sure it was residual blood and Fluid from surgery) and the 2nd time it was Water that I had started sipping. The nurses were super in giving me nausea meds to stay on top of it. I was discharged with a prescription of nausea medication and only had to take 1 after I got home. I was on a 3 week clear liquid diet and had to stay on clears for 2 weeks after surgery. The first few days were the hardest. I totally lost interest in food and wasn't even hungry until a couple of days ago. On the good side --- I am down 21 lbs since I started the Clear liquids (12 of that since surgery). I have been struggling with getting my Protein in but not my fluids. I average around 40 gms of protein a day but keep trying to increase it. Vitamins don't sit well with me at all. I have been taking Celebrate Multi with Iron and per my NUT's advice I ordered ProCareNow with Iron. Waiting on those to be delivered. I did have very little engery but kept going. Yesterday for some reason I just started feeling "good" again and today I feel even better than I did yesterday. I am ME again!! I did eat 3T of no fat cottage cheese last night and man oh man did it ever taste good!! It sat very well in my tiny lil pouch and I say tiny because the 3 T filled me up!! I had 4 oz of greek yogurt with added powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored protein for Breakfast and so far so good. I just finished a low carb slim fast (20 gm of protein) so I can tell that I will be able to meet my protein requirements now that I can eat mushies. No doubt that will only increase my energy levels. This surgery is the BEST thing I have ever done for myself and I only regret that I didn't do it 20 years ago!!!! I was wearing 16/18 pants and 22-24 tops ( I am 5" tall). I weighed 227 at the beginning of my journey in Sept 2011. I am wearing size 10 pants and an XL shirt. My weight this morning was 160. My goal is 120ish. Kathy

Imran21in--- I had no complications at all. I did have a couple of bouts with nausea and vomiting in the hospital but it wasn't anything that medicine didn't control. My experience was virtually pain free. I was able to make it without any pain medicine at all but I do have a high tolerance. I am post op 2 weeks as of yesterday and I feel great!! I had my surgery on Wed and I was back at work full time the following Tuesday. I never was tense but I was a little anxious before my surgery. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. My advice is to follow your doctor's instructions completely and you will be fine.

imran21in--- sure!! What would you like to know?
