congrats!! Same thing happened to me this weekend. it's a fantastic feeling, 9 months out and wow!

i live in woburn and work in waltham. i've missed the last 2 due to the horrific traffic around 128/rt 2 but i'll try again tonight! topic looks interesting, artificial sweeteners.

the hospital i used is having their monthly one tonight i know. https://www.emersonhospital.org/MedServicesAndCenters/Centers/Weight/Support.aspx as for a doc probably depends where your living in the area.

i'm at 42 now and pushing 40'. its really hard to believe i was a 54 pushing god knows what 8 months ago. just surreal

i was sleeved in oct and i had a hialatal hernia and when i awoke was told they repaired another. recovery was fine, i don't think you have to worry. i was told i didn't have to lift anything heavy for a few months though.

Good luck with your surgery! i got sleeved in oct. first few days aren't fun but it's nothing major. you will enjoy the energy your about to get!

Please dont chicken out! First few days arent exactly fun but well worth it! Good luck!

36 or 38 would be fine for me. i don't remember last time i was at that, probably when i played sports. was as high as 54/56 so this is all house money at this point (44 now)

i use to be a big steak person but since the sleeve i just can't seem to eat much of it. i use to hate ham and now i like it. i find sliced deli ham easier to digest, same with turkey.

i'm from ma. had mine done at emerson in concord in october. lost 100 pounds+ so far. so far been the best thing i ever did. no complications and i feel great!

Down 110 pds since surgery. Have tons of energy. So far an amazing decision wish id done it years ago

38, was 430 or so at surgery date oct 1. Down to 350 right now. Sticking to the script and it's amazing how the weight drops off if you follow this thing. sleeping great blood tests all good. I've heard hair falls out but i keep mine near bald anyhow so haven't really noticed. Got a lot more energy these days, i wake up full of vigor and work out much better than before.

i took ten days off work. but i work in a cube. it's really up to how quick you heal. i was lucky and was bouncing around a few days after. but i hear others take much longer. also depends what else is being fixed in your surgery.

I got sleeved oct 1. 27 days in and the changes i'm really starting to notice. down over 40 pds it appears. Clothes are fitting well. actually wearing pants and shirt that havent fit in 2 years at work today. I have lots more energy and i walk a lot. the past week or 2 sleeping has gotten so much better. I didnt realize how bad i use to sleep. I keep oversleeping my alarm everyday so i've had to setup a 2nd alarm. I only seem to crave bad foods when i am watching sports on tv..Football i notice is a nonstop pizza/beer/KFC/wendy's commercial.

grilled cheese was my favorite food in the world. 5 guys, bars, home, work, it's all i ate sometimes. i'm avoiding it like the plague now. one thing you might want to try for your cheese fix is some nice cheese at the supermarket and some whtle weat crackers. slice a few pieces and then wait. your new small stomach should be full without the dangers of a grilled cheese. good luck

ive heard similar about the waters. i ordered my isopure 0 carb Protein powders off amazon. so far dutch chocolate (had for lunch today) and Cookies n cream have been delicious. Just mix with Water. Going to order strawberry next. quick question for everyone, and it may sound silly. with halloween coming up is there any kind of candy we can eat?

checking in..now 20 days since surgery and down over 30! wow! started some solids this weekend. i bought a salmon steak at whole foods and it took me hours just to eat half of it. just wow. already fitting different size jeans and shirts feeling better. it's been such a long time since i could say that. good luck to new sleevers this week, it's worth it so far!
