Awesome loss!

Sleeved 4/01 down 40 lbs.. Stalling for about 3 weeks but Happy so far!

Sleeved April 1 no preop.. Excited about my results so far!

Awww Thanks Ladies I feel all warm inside xoxo ♥ Im trying to stay on track and I admit its very hard!

Hey Everyone. So I am currently 11 days post op Went to see my doctor had a very smooth appointment. Currently down 23 lbs no pre-op diet. So here's' the issue.. I was previously 283 lbs as of tonight I am 258. I am 5'8. My doctor would like to see me at about 150 pounds. I understand he wants the best for me. With my shape I was thinking maybe 185. I seen previously someone posted a site that you can see what a certain weight looks like on a certain body frame. Does anyone have the name of that website? Or is anyone near my weight or goal weight that has pics? I have a long way to go just would like some insight. Thanks

I was on clears for one week, full liquid one week, pureed also one week.. as of Monday soft foods

I was just wondering if everyone came home with a prescription to prevent blood clots? I didn't but of course I see a handful of people here who did. I wonder if its a certain reason I didn't receive one? Ugh Another thing to worry about!! I cannot wait until tomorrow am to speak with my surgeon! Ugh Opinions? Thoughts??

Hello.. I had surgery April 1st. I received Lovenox shots in the hospital but was not given any for home. My doctor just instructed me to walk ALOT to keep the blood flowing and to speed up the herling process. I rarely had a period before my surgery but 3 days after my surgery my period came for a week! Im not sure if it was a result of the surgery or my nerves! All doctors are different my doctor didnt believe the shots were necessary

Thanks Guys! I am so happy... I am in my first stall now but I am not upset about it as I expected it so I mentally had prepared for it... Just going to up my protein a bit and fluid intake

Can definitey see the difference! Wow.... Very happy today

Hey all! I was recently sleeved April 1.. felt like my normal self since day 9 as far as pain is concerned and not being able to eat a lot at all. Started soft foods Monday. Made two scrambled eggs for breakfast and only got half in before I was stuffed.. I couldn't believe it In addition to my sleeve, I also had my gallbladder removed and a hernia in my chest repaired! SW 282 CW 257 No pre-op diet Best decision I have every made for myself. Good luck to everyone and a speedy recovery!

Hello Everyone.. I have been on this page previously under a similar name LifeBackNye.. I couldn't remember my password so I am here again LifeBackNye7. I remember stalking the forums when I was at the begining stages of this process. I would go back and forth during my journey and happy to say that I was sleeved yesterday! The first night was very hard for me. a lot of gas pains! Wow never thought I would be able to live through so much pain. My doctor also removed my gallbladder and fixed a hernia so I have had a lot more pain then others may have had. Passed my leak test, very excited about that. Have been up walking around and boy did thst help. I was sleeved in NJ by Dr. Noyan.. great doctor. Just very happy to be here. Thanks for listening!

Lmbo @ JennyBeth! Hilarious I am laughing tears lol

Hey My sleeve Sista! I feel really good actually.. I am also on pureed/soft foods! Had a taste for scambled eggs today made 2 eggs today with a little bit of cheese and could only get half in! I just saves the rest for lunch.. Its so crazy that is all my stomach at this time! I use to be able to eat eggs, pancakes, turkey bacon and a side of homefries. I have also made ricotta bake which is really good and some had chilli from Wendys'. About 4 spoonfuls and I am done. I walk about 3 miles every other day. My hubby and I actually did 8 miles on Sunday! It was great. I am just struggling with the Fluid intake. I probably get about 40oz a day if that. SW is 282 CW is 255 I have a long way to go.. goal weight is 170-180 since i am 5"9.

Thanks It lasted 3 days then went away.. Thank God! I was soo stressed about it..

JennyBeth...I also agree with u! I have been overweight most of my life and to be given a goal of 150 seems very unrealistic however with my bodyframe I just believe I would look "sick". My head is big! Lol once I get to my goal it would be a better indication if I should continue or maintain.

Thanks lilbearzmom for responding. I totally agree with u! I have a long way to go to my goal weight but I will get there

Thanks Goldiva This one wasn't the exact one I was looking for however it is still a great tool!

That is exactly what it feels like in my throat! All of a sudden. I never had allergies before but I hope it is just a new allergy. Thanks so much for responding

I am now experiencing your symptoms minus the shoulder pains. What was your outcome?

I will definitely give this a try! Thanks
