So i started my pre-diet on May 19th, weight was 309.5, Surgery was June 2nd, weight when came home was 296.5, today im 239.5lbs!!!!!

I feel fantastic but had not paid much attention to body changes as yet until i did this side by side, the pic on the left is June 1st, the night before my surgery, the pic on the right is today June 14 and im shocked at the change in such little time, im so happy i had to share

down to 36 waist Down from 309.5 to 251.

Thanks guys, really appreciate your kind words... Especially the handsome part! Lol

I've lost 50lbs since the start of my pre-op diet and 36 of that is since surgery on June 2ND

Dr teel and his staff are great. I was in and out of surgery within 45 mins. I only had 4 incersions and I was up within an hour of getting to my room,walk walk walk, only way to get the gas out of you really. I needed only 1 or 2 pain meds and I was back at work 3 days later. I know everyone is different but I fou d it really quite easy,not what I was expecting. Dr teel is one of those doctors who is straight to the point with zero bullshit, that's the kind of doctor I like. I really really do highly recommend Dr Teel,I was done and home over night,I was only on Clear liquids for 3 hours then went straight on to full as I was doing well, you will be in super safe quality hands with him. He's so good my girl is having it done by him on Aug 11

I feel awesome, I actually jogged tonight for the 1at time in 20 years, I'm loving the changes. And of course you guys on here have been inspirational since I 1st thought about doing this, this is a result due to many people on here

I'm 12 days out from surgery, after the 4th day i started going daily but the last time i went was Thursday, is this normal? i have no cramps or pains, dont even feel like going. Got an appointment with my Surgeon on Tuesday so will ask him then if still not been. Sorry for the crappy subject...... See what i did there.....

I wake up every morning right now and feel like the tooth fairy passed by my place and took a dump in my mouth while i was sleeping....... So happy its not just me

Im 4 weeks post op and i can eat anything apart from anything breaded or battered which doesnt bother me. Ate out at Red Lobster at the weekend and even though it says for under 12`s only they let me order off the kids menu, tried garlic shrimp and it went down a treat and a small cup of lobster bisque, was awesome. last night i had a small salad with chicken, it had raw peppers, onion, lettuce and spinach... it was a delight. Needless to say eating out is not an issue luckily

Not as drastic as before but changes in my arms, head, neck and narrowing of my belly, I'm 5 weeks since start of pre op diet and 3 weeks 4 days since my surgery

Unjury is the best I've tried, it doesn't have that taste that most do

I'm from Manchester UK, but moved to Fairborn Ohio 9 years ago

Me to, i used to be the type of person that didnt have ice in any drink as i never liked it, now almost 3 weeks out i put my powerade in the freezer to ice up before i drink it, really strange. And yeah ice chips are fine, thats what i was given as soon as i got into recovery from surgery

Today im 3 stones lighter (42.5lbs) than when i started my pre-op diet, really happy! since the day after my surgery ive lost 29lbs in 2 and a half weeks

I weigh daily, i find it keep me motivated. Even if i dont lose anything from the day before im still good because again it keeps me motivated

I've started a blog, I'm only 14 days out but im going to update it every Sunday My weight loss journey pre and post op Gastric Sleeve http://dangsjourney.blogspot.com/

And on the 14th day after surgery I went twice! Hallelujah! Lol

My 2 week pre-op was carnation Breakfast essentials no sugar added shakes 3 times a day which tasted great and 2 cafe steamer meals, I lost 16-17 lbs on the pre diet

My most worthwhile advice would be to walk, I was up and about after an hour of getting to my room, its the only relief from the gas pain I found. I was only in overnight but the staff was excellent and very helpful. I'm pretty sure walking every hour or so in the hospital helped the recovery be as easy as it has been. Thanks everyone for your kind words

@@TakeitorSleeveit i bought this rocky shirt last year from walmart, it looked to be a large xxl, sadly it didnt fit at all, looked like i painted it on so its been sat waiting for the day to try it again, i was so happy as im a major rocky fanatic

Thanks guys really appreciate the positive comments

Ive lost about 23lbs

i was 296 in June 3rd day after my sleeve, today im 272.6 so 23'ish lbs in 12 days

Gas X strips are great but the best thing i found that got rid of my gas in 2 days was peppermint tea, my mother recommended it to me and it worked really well
