Surgery Jan 24th. Down 35 lbs total.

Hi Jana, I have been an RN for 23 years, last 10 have been in Endoscopy in large hospital in Beaumont, Tx. I was sleeved Jan 24th of this year. Down 33 lbs so far! I feel so much better and am glad I had it done. I need to lose another 35 lbs to get to the 140's. wish you the best!

I hear you!! I was sleeved Jan 24th and have only lost23 lbs! What am I doing wrong? My BMI was 35 to begin with.

Hi shortsleevedkay, I was sleeved Jan 24th...started at 209...BMI 35. Current weight 186. Down only 23 lbs. I went back to work last week and feel good. How much water are you drinking, exercise and approximate calories do you get a day? I feel discouraged.....

I am 56 and 7 weeks post sleeve. I've lost 24 lbs so far. I had been off hormone replacement for about 6 mos before surgery. Post-op I started having hot flashes one after the other. I would go from hot to cold within minutes of each other. After a couple weeks of this I got back on Hormones and feel so much better. I'm so glad we have a 50's forum. I am 1/3 of my way to goal. I have been in a stall for almost 4 weeks but think I'm coming out of it now. Trying not to be discouraged. I decided I would only weigh once a week and join a gym this week. Being back at work has helped. I'm a nurse and work in a hospital. It is encouraging to read your posts!!

Hello, new to this site. Sleeved Jan 24th. 5'5, 210. Lost 21 lbs first 21 days and have been in a stall since then. I also experienced major lactose intolerance post op. 7 weeks out now and am much better. Can eat cheese again thankfully!
