All Alabama sleeves come in

How is everyone doing??? I was sleeved on 01/06 and down 51 pounds.

I'm pretty sure 85% of us January sleeves have hit stalls by now. I've had 2 maybe 3 stalls already. I was sleeved on 01/06. I go down 3 one day to be up by 5 the next day. It's just back and fourth. I'm down 52 from HW and 47 from the day I was released from the hospital. I have up my protein to 100g to help pull me out of the stalls. This is a hard journey. But I don't regret it one bit. I will say I have noticed a decrease in weight loss since I have been working out. I'm not sure if it's from gaining muscle or what.

My surgery was 01/06/14. SW 264 current weight 213. I don't really track food. I do get in 100g of Protein a day. I also never get in all of my Water. It's so hard for me.

It will pass slowly. I'm almost 5 weeks out and that feeling is pretty much gone. But I do have it from time to time.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you not as happy as you are for yourself I'm sure LOL. So I have to ask, now that you've hit the 30 day mark, what has been the hardest thing to adjust to? Does it affect your family? Friends? Are they all aware that you had the procedure? I'm asking because I haven't told anyone. Including my family. I know for sure some of them will notice a difference. And at work, definitely. I work with a bunch of women who habitually feed each other. Is going to look a little strange when I don't partake in meals with them anymore. I'm trying to figure out how to break it to them... Without the world knowing my business since I am militant about my privacy. Sorry from bombarding you with questions, but I really want your point of view on this. Thank you. The hardest thing for me is not eating and drinking at the same time. I know it sounds crazy but if you knew me before the surgery drinking was a must have while I ate. My husband is the only person that knows about the surgery. Everyone else believes I went to mexico with a girlfriend. Which was not all the way false. I end up meeting an awesome person there and we have grown really close in such a short time. All of my friends and family have noticed the weight loss. I tell them I eat healthy and control my portion size. Which they noticed during my pre op diet. So they think I'm sticking to it. Which I am I have no choice. I also walk 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. I will up that when my 6 weeks have passed.

Oh wow! Thank you so much. So far all your responses have been great, and you guys really put me at ease. @mmhutch. Congratulations to you. I do wish you success and health throughout your journey. How has your progress been so far?@shungsleeve I've been great. Down a total of 33 from highest weight and a total of 29 pound since the day I was released from the hospital 01-08-14. Yesterday marks 4 weeks for me.

They are awesome. I went alone. I was sleeved on 01-06-14. They take great care of you. You will have both doctors and nurses checking on you around the clock. They are very attentive. The hospital room is good nothing fancy very clean. The facility itself is a very clean throughout. I loved hanging out with Abraham and Eldorado. We had a blast on our shopping trip.

I actually want my daughter to have it as we'll. She is very short for a 15 year old and very over weight. I'm going to speak to her about it over dinner tonight. He self esteem is so low because of her weight. If she agrees we will go to mexico this summer. Dr E. Ortiz did my sleeve and I would like him to do hers.

How far out are you?

We both are the same heights and started at the same weight.

I was sleeved on 01/06/14. I'm feeling great and down 22 pounds since 01/08/14

I'm 19 days post op. I have lost 22.6 pounds since I was released from the hospital on 01/08/14.

It was from the IV.

No I have not. I will try it.

I'm having a very hard time with constipation now. I have not went since 01/08/14. That's the day I was released from the hospital. I had the runs right after surgery on the 6th up until the 8th. Now nothing. I have took all kinds of laxatives. I'm going to give myself a enema. I sure hope it works. I'm miserable at this point.

I bet that meal was wonderful. I was sleeved on the 6 as well but u can't have soft foods until two weeks from today. I just start my puréed food next Tuesday. I can't wait to eat real food.

I had a great experience with then as well.

So sorry to hear that. They will cover the bypass but not the sleeve?

Today makes two weeks post op for me. I'm down a total of 20 pounds it would have been more but I gained two pounds. The reason I gained is because I am so freaking constipated It should be against the law. I have not had a BM since the day I was released from the hospital which was 01/08/14. I am miserable. I just took a stool softener and about to get me something with fiber in it to make me go more often.

To me they have the best protein shakes. I also like the vanilla and cookies and cream.

They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

Highest weight 264.0 Day of surgery 254.1 (01/06/14) released from hospital 259.4 (01/08/14) Current weight 240.0 ( as of this morning) 1 week and 2 days post op
