10 pounds to go til I get to my goal! I'm starting Couch to 5K this week and the Insanity workout..hopefully some extra fitness will get me to my goal early!!

I'm 3 weeks post op. Can we eat sugar? I've been buying sugar free everything but really want a good Froyo. I've read about dumping but gastric bypass patients, but was told you don't have to worry about that with the sleeve?

Prilosec has worked for me. I take it every morning and haven't had any heartburn! Hope you feel better!!

I'm 2 1/2 weeks Post Op. I have a desk job and took a week off, not paid. I had my surgery on a Friday, and honestly by Tuesday I could of gone back to work but I decided to just give myself the rest of the week to relax and recover at home. Good luck!

I'm in!! And very exited for my first challenge! Surgery Date: March 1st, 2013 Weight before Pre-Op Diet: 287 DOS Weight: 267 Current Weight:250 Goal for June 1st: 220 Lets do this!

My name is Samantha too! It sounds like your friend is just jealous..which is odd because she should be supporting you right now. But she's probably just a little insecure. I've only told my parents, 3 sisters, boyfriend and 2 very best friends who have all been awesome. But a few months ago my older sister who has always been skinny and petite made a comment to me "It's going to be weird when you're skinny!" I know she didn't mean it to be rude, but it just made me feel a little blah. I know she's just used to me being bigger for the past 20 years. But now that I'm 2 weeks post op, and I'm down almost 40 pounds, she keeps telling me how good I look, so I'm guessing it was a momentary insecurity she had. Don't let what anyone says bother you, you're doing this for you and hell yes you're going to be looking fabulous after! Work it girl!

Congrats!! You look amazing!!

Thank you so much! It did help!

I was cleared yesterday to progress to the "Soft food" stage. So exciting! I'm just wondering what is the serving size you eat? I had a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch and that went fine. For dinner I tried cream of broccoli soup pureed but 1/4 of it didn't seem like a lot because it was just liquid. Does the serving size matter according to what you're eating? Any thoughts?

Congrats!! 15lbs is great!! I haven't started working out yet either, I'm been really drained of energy the past few days. Hopefully this weekend I'll get back into it!

You look great! Keep it up!

How is everyone doing post op? I'm down 38 pounds! 21 from the pre op diet and 17 since my surgery March 1st! Hopefully being progressed to the soft food stage today !

I have my 2 Week post op appointment today with my surgeon. So far I'm down 38 pounds. 21 during my pre op diet, and 17 from my surgery. Hopefully he progresses me to the soft food stage! I'm really starting to get sick of just drinking protein shakes. I wan't real food!

Hi all! I was sleeved on March 1st. Is it too soon to start working out? I'm really anxious to get back to the gym!

Hey all! I'm 9 days post op, is it too soon to sleep on my stomach? I usually sleep on my back but woke up on my stomach this morning and now I feel all crampy.
