Great work Riverdude! I am a third of the way 6 weeks out! Sleeved the same day, makes such a difference and I feel so much more alive now!

6 weeks out yesterday and weight loss so far is 44lb! So pleased I got the sleeve!

I am 6 weeks out tomorrow and hit the dreaded stall, the only way I could get past it was to up my calorie and protein intake to 1200/70. As a taller women my body needs the extra calories and protein! As long as you are feeling good, suffering no pain, and knowing that each surgeon/dietitian and sleever is a bit different, then all should be well. My current intake is the correct amount according to my surgical team here in Sydney!

Hi, I had my sleeve done on the 18th, and have lost 16.7 kg (sorry don't know pound equivalents) since then. My surgery went well other than a reaction to the opiate pain killers! I am on the soft food stage now, but have stalled in my weight loss for the past 6 days! Frustrating, have upped my walking to 35 minutes moderate walking on up and down hills and stairs. This represents a complete new start in my life, I have also separated from my husband of 10 years as he is unsupportive and moved back into my parents house with two special needs children and a toddler! Despite the changes, I am positive and excited at the new life I am building for myself and my children!
