My surgeon says that there can be some "stretching" but mostly there is an increase in the opening from the stomach to the intestines allowing food to pass through quickly. He claims most weight gain is because people learn to eat around their stomachs by consuming liquids and sliders.

Sleeved 2/9. Down 32 since surgery. 73 altogether.

Inspiring.

Good question. I hope someone has some feedback.

Me too. It's a happy day today. Obese is such an ugly word. Cheers to us!

Wow!

Losing slowly. Sleeved 2/9
SW 253 DOS 211 current 193 Only 18 pounds lost. About 40 to go.
About 800 calories a day. Exercising 45 minutes 5-6 times per week.
12 days after sleeved I had a 17 day stall.

I read somewhere that sometimes when you lose belly fat it releases the stored estrogen. Some people have teenage like symptoms such as zits, moodiness and heavy periods.

That is so great. And to know you will never see a 2 again is a thing to Celebrate.

Post op visit today. Down 9.5. On to purees! I am doing surprisingly great considering that I thought life sucked just a week ago. I am getting in all liquids and Proteins. I'm able to do about 45 min cardio per day.

I have now made it through week one. Although it hasn't been fun, it's been textbook. First few days, the gas pain was killer. I walked and I walked and then I finally passed gas and the world was a better place (at least my world). I now can take a semi-normal sip of Water and I'm able to get in my 60-80 grams of Protein. I've been walking two miles a day and then collapsing on the sofa. I've never seen so much TV. I am very fatigued. My goal is to get in a few more grams of protein and calories so that I can lose the exhausted feeling. The pain has been mostly ok except that I sometimes get a searing pain on the left side which will go away if I lie down. Happily I have been losing about a pound a day and I am getting very close to onderland. I just keep chanting, "Don't stall until I get to onderland."
How are the rest of the Feb 9thers doing?

Tomorrow is my day too. Good luck to us!

Thanks for sharing. Keep us posted on your progress. I get sleeved tomorrow.

I ordered Bari Life. It tastes ok in cherry and orange flavors. You simply take 2 scoops per day in your Water, smoothie or whatever and it covers all your Vitamin and mineral needs. Super easy. It costs about $1 per day.
