Hey all. Havent been here in forever. But I've gotten some emails about other updates and figured I'd swing by. I had my surgery 10/2/12. My starting weight was 322lbs, size 24 and 4x shirts. Bra size was 48F. As of this morning I'm at 178 lbs, size 8/10 pants, shirts L-XL and thats due to chest which is 32E they didnt go very far. My goal weight is 175, I'm 5'9". Im almost there. I've read and saw everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the great work

I just had my surgery on 10/2 and I've been doing great. But today I can't stop crying. I feel like my entire life is ruined. I hate watching tv because there is always commercials or people eating. I can't seem to get out of this funk now. I'm feeling like I made a really huge mistake. Maybe I could have done this entire thing with such drastic measures. I hate crying I have a 7 year-old little girl that I won't let me see down. But I can't stop. Sorry for such a pathetic post but no one else around me understands.

My husband took the scale. Lol. I'm gonna do once a week. I don't want to be obsessed with weighing all the time I know I'll go crazy. Thanks

So frustrated. I'm down 30 lbs since surgery. A lot of weight in 11 days but I've lost nothing in 2 days. I'm now on pureed so maybe my body needs to adjust but I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones who lost a mass amount the first couple months. I hope I don't stall for a long time.

I brought a word search book, brush and tooth brush/ tooth paste, deodorant. Oh and phone charger. I also took a pair of yoga pants to wear under my gown. Extra underwear. I wore the same clothes home as I did going in

Also a 10/2. I feel great also. Haven't had any pain or gas. Well slight stinging around the incisions, but nothing some air and a few days won't fix. Started puree yesterday but haven't eaten much more than tuna at this point. I'm 24 pounds down from day of release. Didn't weigh day off but on Thursday before I left they did. I'm realistic and aware it won't continue like that. Although I wish it would lol. Can't wait to see how we all progress

I'm 9 days out and 24 lbs as of today

Oh no. Feel better. I'm feeling sorta bed today and hoping it's not dehydration

I was told watermelon is ok as long as I can tolerate it and because it has so much water in it, it can help with keeping hydrated. And fruit that comes in those little dishes (water or sugar free)

None stop. I'm hydrated and now eating more so isn't from hunger. I'm thinking it's sort of from sugar withdrawal. Or who knows. But that is my only pain

C-section was worse. This was a breeze. I never had pain or gas. Plus no newborn to take care of after.

I was in shock. I am curious if it will keep up with pureed food in the mix now. I've been on just fluids and talking all the time. First time in 5 years I'm below 300 lbs

I had depression the first few days. I was tired and wanted to eat. But I'm feeling better now and realizing it's all for a better cause

Just got back from post op appt. Down 23 lbs since release day (thurs) and was moved to pureed food thank god. Don't have a follow up for a month.

Hey all. I was sleeved 10/2 and feel great. Actually haven't had any pain or gas (knock on wood). I have however had a headache almost every day and can't sleep well. I've been able to get all my fluids in and plan to see if I can progress to something more at my post op appt tomorrow. As of this morning I am 23 pounds down. Day of 316 now 293. I haven't been in the 200's in 5 years. It's amazing.

What they did is unethical.... you not reporting it means it can and will happen again. They clearly need training on being sympathetic, ethical and just plain nice.

That's my sign I'm done. And my nose starts running. I'm gonna be a sexy date lol

I just went to a organic health food store near my house. I found 10 different whey Protein Shake flavors. They sell the sample packs for $1 each so I got one strawberry shortcake, Cookies and creme, Cappuccino, Peanut Butter cookie and vanilla cupcake. I didn't like the other flavors. But I'm really hoping I like one of these flavors. I compared the numbers to my designer whey canister and it's all exactly the same. Finally some variation in my Protein
