I live in Houston but had my surgery in Richardson at the Nicholson Clinic with Dr Carlton. I loved him, he was awesome.
I was sleeved on the 16th of November and so far I'm very happy with the results.

I had a revision done on the 16th from the band to the sleeve. So far I'm very happy with it. Wish I had done it sooner.

I'm having trouble getting all my Protein in but continue to sip away. I can't wait to get under 200, I haven't seen that number in at least 15yrs.
I went to happy hour the other day with some friends. They don't know about my surgery, and it dawned on me how much food plays a part in my life. They all kept offering me food and wondering why I wasn't drinking. Can't I be on a diet people, why is everything all about socializing with food and drink? It's frustrating.

Congratulations on your weight loss. What app is that you are using?

So far it's been good, the first few days I was really sore, which is too be expected, but I was back at work the following Tuesday. i did have to take lots of breaks because sitting too long started to hurt and the gas build up was still pretty bad. I'm not hungry at all but I do find my body craving Protein so I have to be sure and get my shakes in and yesterday gave in and had some chicken breast at lunch and paid for it dearly. I was in a lot of pain and think it was just too soon. Thought I could handle it since I ate really slow and chewed very well. But I think I'm still healing and please learn from my mistake. Take your time and listen to you body.
It's weird to go throughout the day and not constantly think about food and what I'm going to eat next.
Good luck on your journey, this site is great.

You are doing Great ! You can really tell !

Wow! You're gonna rock it!

Hello everybody I wanted to share with you my one-month progress pics. The before images on the left is three days post op and then on the right I took this morning.

I'm actually very proud of the progress I'm making, I'm down almost 20 pounds post op and I just had my first bill last Tuesday. I have 4.6cc in my band and I'm going every two weeks for my fill and to check on my progress, trying to achieve the green zone.
I'm very excited about my journey and I wish everyone all the best, I think being banded was one of the best decisions I ever made.

You can def see the progress!

Wow! Congrats.

Wow. Pictures tell the story!!! Well done! I am also one month post op on the 23rd. Down 37 pounds and loving it! I don't get my first fill until July 11th. I am just controlling my portion sizes and really having very little trouble. I am sleeping so much better and overall energy is good.

I had the same when I would bend over I would fee really tight and if I did it too much the pain would last for a while. But I'm just under 3 weeks and no more problems like that. My port area gets a little sore when I lay different ways but that's it. I'm the toe to push myself too. I should be in tr mushy stage but I've been eating solids and chewing well all week with no issues. Everyone heals at different rates.
Good job on the 12lbs!

Thats awesome! Dont be too hard on yourself if you dont lose that the 2nd month too! I had high expectations also and was a bit upset I havent lost as much as I thought I would. At first- with liquid diets and monitored eating..body loses weight quickly....then it tapers off and you hit the 2-3 lbs each week. Keep up the great work!
