Hello everyone Sleeved 4/28 Before pre op: 252 lbs Today down 60 lbs Current weight: 189 lbs Size: 12 pants size: M tops My goal when I started was to be 180 lbs I'm only 9 lbs away so I'm shooting for 160 now. I feel fantastic I'm off my blood pressure medicine. I love shopping it's amazing to shop in the misses section of department stores. I haven't eaten any bread, tortillas a few ritz crackers is all and I just started with salads. I still do premier shakes for breakfast. I have a question for you all how is your hair? I just started loosing a bit but not to bad it's a good thing I have a lot of hair. This was my worst fear. I have no regrets and I wanted to congratulate everyone this is an amazing journey we are on I love my new life. Thank you all for you support and strength I enjoy ready all of your stories.

Hi when were you sleeved? I'm 9 weeks post op and had hair loss at the beginning and no more I've been on biotin months before my sleeve and I also put these drops on my scalp to prevent hair loss.

I agree I don't have a scale! I just wait for dr appointment! I focus on nutrition also I feel my body changing and that's good enough for me rather than a number. Good luck to everyone!

Hi congratulations! I was sleeved April 28, 2014 and I hD a hard time with protein and water it gets easier just drink as much as you can. I wasn't allowed and food for 2 1/2 weeks only water or protein. I still have a hard time getting all liquids in but it's much easier. What your feeling is normal. I never had Charlie horses. And I don't see how your sleeping on your stomach wow I couldn't even lay on my side the first few days. It gets easier glad your on this journey so worth it! I'm down 30lbs tomorrow I hit 4 weeks post op!

I had mine done April 30 and as of today I am down 53 lbs!!! I did lose 12 of that with my preop diet. The hardest thing for me is getting my Protein in but I'm getting there! Hi I'm April 28 and down about 30 lbs 11 pre op diet. The hardest thing for me is protein also I try my best and fluids I average about 50 oz daily. I eat a lot of Beans just to get my protein in and I do I shake a day. It's just so hard to get everything down your suppose to. Other than that physically I feel great.

Hi I'm 7 days post op and feel great! I've been out and about the last two days and ready for work! I do get tired but I feel good! It does hurt when I swallow especially at the beginning but as each day passes it has almost gone away. Each day does get better trust me. Just take it one day at a time and trust in God he will take care of you!
