I'm 3 months out this week I'm down 60 lbs I had dr.fedorka who was great! I've had no complications the staff is on top of things! I think dr chin and fedorka work together in Redlands I had my surgery at st. Bernadine's it was a pleasant stay good luck a word of advice! Pay attention in those options classes sometimes I wish I could redo some!

Well today I'm 10 weeks out and down 55 lbs...I feel like I should be doing more....well maybe a little guilty that sometimes I loose track or sneak a hot Cheeto but years of bad eating cant be fixed that fast....boy do I miss cheeseburgers!!

So I was technically sleeved 2/28 which is one day off from march so I like to consider myself a marcher lol anywho my starting weight was 347 and I'm down 55 lbs today which is my 10 week mark it been a struggle I'm not the best sleever I loose track of water and protein and the honest truth is me and excessive have had a life long fued but trying and it's working but I was in a stall for about 2 weeks which is super depressing but out of nowhere dropped 7 lbs this body of mine is so confused

Ice chips saved my life in the first 2 weeks...I got yo chew it melts slow but do cold it satisfy s and helps with cotton mouth

My best moment do far has been fitting in my car!! There's a story about that!! My sister(a lot smaller then me) borrowed my car and somehow dropped her drink onto my seat and broke it! It was completely stuck!! didn't go back forward...I obviously didn't fit my I had to fight my gut to turn the damn wheel.....now 42 lbs down I get in with room to spare!!! Ridiculous but I can drive my car comfortably big deal

Sleeved 2/28 down 31 lbs since surgery I'm at a stall now

So I'm finally feeling cable to my normal self getting ready Togo crack to work and all!! And what do you know I caught the cold my kids have been circling, I can't reach my doc but I'm miserable I got a cough, runny nose, pain and aching Everywere! Has anybody gone through this?? Can I take medicine? Like DayQuil, any other over the counter medicines??

Yeah I took my off work orders to my supervisor I had to fill out some forms but its worth it your jobs completely protected and instead if using my vacation I got paid through disability and my work covered the rest.... You can google the forms I think

Thank you all I need to try something

I'm am off for 3 weeks this is my last week I'm in ca so we fmla family medical leave act so it won't count against me also lol revive short term disability from the state for the 3 weeks of no pay

I was sleeved 2/28 so just about 2 1/2 weeks and same here...I feel do hungry or maybe it my head and I'm sure watching everyone eat fast food around me doesn't help, I'm a tad concerned cause I haven't had any trouble with food or drinks...I've lost 20 lbs although that's good I Derek a tad bit discouraged when people on here lost like 40 I know I know font compare everyone's different but I'm so scared of being a slow loser!! Maybe I should not weigh in everyday today the scale said I gained a pound I've been stressing about it all day!

We were sleeved same day congrats on your weight loss I'm down 24 lbs today

I live in ca so I have a medical marijuana recommendation which makes it legal for me....its made my recovery so much easier I was off pain meds after 4 days

I only lost 4 lbs pre-op and I was fine my dr didn't say anything even though I was super nervous about not loosing the 10 lbs he requested

I'm glad I found some people around my time! My highest weight was 347 sw 344 and cw 328 I'm 25 I think 5"6 and I was sleeved 2/28/13 just came back from my post op visit and things are well

Hello all I was sleeved 2/28 is it wierd that I can drink like normal obvious I get full fast but I can almost literally chug?

Well well new to this site and new to this life! I'm 25 mother from California... I had my surgery feb 28 one week ago and I thought the battle was actually getting to the surgery date and finally it's over with. But the battle has just begun!!! Liquid diet, protein shakes its all a little much but I know it's worth it in the long run but maaan am I missing food right about now!!! Need some friends right about now and not the skinny ones either lol on the bright side I have lost 14 pounds already!! And I don't need my pain meds I'm almost back to 100! Surprisingly everything is going well I'm able to drink Alot of water at once which I thought was weird maybe just me anyways....I'm really digging this app!

Thank you! And yeah I'm a stomach sleeper so this past week has Been rough glad things are coming along for you

Scrambled eggs and cottage cheese sound amazing right about! Still stuck on full liquid diet blah just about over it lol

Nothing like a bald headed man somthing about it!
