Today I went for my 2 month check up. I have lost 15 lbs from last month, 2 1/2" off my waist line and my BMI has gone from 67.1 to 58.2. I am feeling great. Just wanted to share!

I don't know what happened today. At work we had a breakfast potluck. I did ok at first I had some cheese, 1/2 turkey sausage and applesauce. Then I ate a glazed doughnut. Then when I got home I had a few bites of strawberry cheesecake. WTH!!! I cant believe I ate all those sweets. Just venting!!

@pipula...YES I would have had atleast 3 doughnuts and the whole slice of cheesecake, which is my favorite. I don't think I overdid it, just ate what I shouldn've ate. Tomorrow will be better!

Thanks everyone for all the kind thoughts and encouragement. Reading other people stories definately gives me that extra encouragement I need. Keep up the good work everyone!

My strips stayed on for about 2 1/2 weeks, and then I pulled them off the rest if the way. When I was in the shower I just made sure that they got soaked. No problem.

It definately shows, you look great, keep up the good work!

@makemyownluck...don't feel bad, when I started my BMI WAS 67.1 at weight 477 now I am 405 as if today and BMI down to 64. I am also 5'10 and I would say my surgery was a success. I had no complications and no problems other than the usual side effects.

My license expires next year and I can't wait to take a new one so I can put my correct weight!!!LOL

I had the same problem with my knees. I have DJD in both knees. I was sleeved on Sept. 12 and I have NOT had any problems with my knees. I feel great about that. Having surgery was the best decision I've made for myself. I would start with the insurance co to find out what centers are in your area. Also check your local hospital. Good luck with your journey.

Some people @ my job noticed as soon as I returned back to work. The first place they saw it was my face and neck. Now I am almost 2 months and I get compliments quit often now. People show their weight lost at different stages, don't get discouraged.

U was sleeved in Sept. 12 of this year and I have had my up and downs. I have been on this journey for a year and I am happy with my small success. Today @work I had my yearly physical. When I walked in the nurse said that it looked like I had lost some weight. I told her I had surgery. When I got on the scale it said 408.6. Last year it said 477. I couldn't believe it. That's almost 70 lbs that I hope never to see again. I know that if I hadn't gotten my sleeve I would still be weighing 477 maybe even more!! Just wanted to share.

Wow ,OMG ,you look wonderful and very happy. Good luck with your continued success.

Thanks everyone, I guess I just wanna take this one day at a time and not focus solely in the number but achievements. I have my 2 month post op on the 19th of Nov and my goal is to be 400. I'm gonna do it!!!!

Thanks @rainbow!

Wow, I sorry to hear about your progress. You will be in prayers and hope it works out for you. Don't give up or give in.

I have lost 21 lbs so far. It would have been more but I had a minor set back, was in hospital for 4 days, gained 10 lbs so I'm working that off too, but I feel good. Keep up all the good work fellow sleevers!!

I had this problem also and yes I was admitted to the hospital for 4 days....I was given everything, enemas, suppositories, mag citrate nothing worked. On my 4th day I finally went. My potassium was down which caused me to have a ileus which slows things down. I take a softner everyday and I am slowly getting back to regular 2-3 times a week.
