Hi! I'm almost 8 weeks out and doing well. I have lost 55 pounds so far. I'm not keeping track of anything, really. I eat small portions and stick to my dietary guidelines. Can't wait to see what the next 8 weeks brings me.

Crazy good girl!!!

There are a lot of threads about Fitbit but I haven't seen anything about the Up. Does anyone have it?

I think it was just my body adapting bc I don't feel like that anymore. Goodness was that a testament of my mind over stomach. I won!

Today I feel like I did pre sleeve. I am starving and while I have controlled my hunger I feel I could eat everything in site. Is this normal?

I would have to agree with Lipstick Lady. Having such a small stomach doesn't allow for you to eat as you once did. I'm only 2 weeks out so the addiction is still there but the sleeve is doing its job. Yes you do have to have will power, but it's so much easier to resist temptation. I have gone out to lunch and dinner at some of my favorite places and watched as other ate bread sticks and appetizers and it was hard. But I have made it through with no regrets. In fact when I am done eating and feel full I still get that guilty feeling. Then I take a few minutes and remember I didn't eat anything bad for me. It's a good feeling.

Hi. I am 12 days post op constantly thirsty with a horrible dry mouth. I have water with me all day but never is my thirst quenched. How can I tell if I'm dehydrated?

Could be but I'm not having issues drinking just feel so dry.

Does anyone know specifically for the newly sleeved patients if it's any different?

How long after your surgery were you able to get to the gym? What did you begin with?

Okay I will give that a try.

Sorry for the TMI.. I am 6 days post op and since night 2 I have had Water stools. Like I am peeing out my butt. (Sorry gross). Any advice?

Go out and have fun on that trip! U r beautiful.

Gorgeous!

I had a drain and it was pulled before I left to go home. No biggie but very uncomfortable when the final tubing came out.

So inspiring!

I am hoping he does the same for me tomorrow. Good luck!

Have a feeling I'm dealing with gas pain but can't tell the difference between the two. How can I tell the difference?

Is this normal? Doc paperwork says 101.5 should be concerning

Thank you! I am so worried I will have to go back into the hospital. Let's just say this has been the worst 4 days of my life.

What was the worst diet you ever tried? For me it would be using Ali and doing the Herbal life diet.

Would anyone be willing to share just their stats? I'm only asking because I would like to see the average weight loss and its hard in long threads. If you are at your goal could you put that as well? Starting weight at surgery? Weight lost? Months since sleeve? Thanks!!
