Wow that is great!!!! Im at 222 right now, I wanna get to the 160's

I'm almost 3 months out on the 17th and so far I'm down 46 pounds!!! Ya

Congrats!!! Keep up the good work

Ok' date=' so I'm 23 and need to lose about 160 lbs... Any tips? Will me weight drop fast since I have more to lose? Will I even lose that much?[/quote']

From what I've seen, ppl with more weight to loose usually drop some weight faster than others

Hey!!! I am a bit older 26 and I was just sleeved on June 25th. I graduated in 2009 so we can def share ideas. I have lost 23 lbs so far and I am super excited about it.

How u doing so far?

Hey I'm about 10 weeks out and I'm down 46 pounds!!!

My dietician warned me about using straws after surgery' date=' problem is I ALWAYS use straws, I have a perpetual hole in my lip and I drip on my shirt no matter what I'm drinking so I used the straws anyway and I have not had a problem at all. If your comfortable with it. I say Use a Straw. LOL [/quote']

Thanks!! I started drinking smoothies and at first I would use a spoon but I started using a straw now. I was just curious

Yea I was instructed by my doctor not to use a straw but he didn't give me a timeframe. It's weird how all the doctors have different guidelines. But thanks I'll take your advise

I'm about 10 weeks out and I was wondering if we are ok to drink from a straw at this point out??

Hi girls!! I'm about 9 weeks out and have lost 40 pounds!! I'm 24 years old and I'm also a college student!! Life is different with the sleeve but I would not change it... I'm glad I did this!! I also have my fitness pal feel free to add me maggie4788

Hi!! I'm from Los angeles, I was sleeved 4/17

I had surgery with dr mun on April 17!! He was great!! You will be in good hands!!

Keep it up!!

Hmmm' date=' that's a sneaky way to get free alcohol [/quote']

I know right!!!

Hard liquor isn't bad for me. Had my first drink last night at 6 weeks also... Not not one problem. Jack over ice. Expected to be toasty... Nope. Which means I will be able to have a drink when I go out lol

Wow!! That's good... I'm still to afraid to try liquor. I even asked the bar tender to give me the wine in the smallest amount and he have it to me in a shot glass...haha plus he gave it to me for free.

Do you feel the faster than before or is your body reacting the same as before?

I only drank about 3oz so I did not feel anything, I did not want to over do it

Arrrrrgh!!!! I just realized I can never have beer again.... Regret Regret Regret.... Ok I'm over it. Maybe.

One day we will be able to drink beer!! I'm not planning on drinking beer anytime soon

It just felt great to drink some wine!!!! Ha

I had been craving moscato for a while now and I just tried it right now!! I'm 6 weeks post op!! I gotta say I was nervous to try it, but my stomach did not burn but felt a tingling sensation!!

I just came from a trip to Catalina island, I was sleeved April 17 and I made sure I had my Greek yogurt and cheese sticks since there was a mini fridge in the hotel. I also took Isopure and when we ate at a restaurant I would just order soup!! It worked out great for me, good luck!!

I was sleeved April 17 and I am down 28 pounds!! One problem that I do have is burping!!! It's annoying I eat something n I start burping, does anyone else have this problem? N I drink pepcid
