Today (4/19)is my one year surgiversary! HW-268 DOSW-263 Current weight-168 100 pounds down[emoji3] Height-5'4 18 more pounds to go til' goal! Where are you guys, how's your progress?

Update, currently at 231 when I weighed last Saturday. I hit a 3 week stall in June as well. I'm trying to hit 221 by the end of July. I go on vacation on august 18th to vegas and I'm realllllly hoping to be at least 215 by then[emoji3] Start W-263 Currently-231 Surgery date-4/19/17

To my fellow April sleevers where are you at now in your journey? I was sleeved 4/19 at 263. I had my six week check up 5/30 and weighed in at 241. I'm gonna weigh again this Tuesday hoping to hit 235 by then.[emoji3] Everything's going well for me. I don't have any gerd or problems with bowel movements. I also started working out 2 weeks ago. So how's everything with everyone else?

I was on full liquids after two days. But trust me,full liquids isn't any better! It gets old fast! I am soooo tired of protein shakes and soup[emoji501] ,lol!! I have 3 more days before I start the purée stage..I have been craving grilled chicken salad[emoji31] 🥗 Chicken is the first thing I'm gonna purée.

Btw, I am also sleeping a lot and I get tired more easily...,I guess it's because of low calorie consumption...

Glad to hear everyone is doing well[emoji2] I had my one week check up yesterday and I'm down 12 pounds since surgery on the 19[emoji1474] I am also able to guzzle water, although I do catch myself after 4 gulps[emoji15] I don't do it all the time but I get tired of sipping when I get thirsty...I have to be on full liquids another week before I start purée which sucks because I'm so tired of liquids[emoji37]

My surgery went well. (4/19) First day was rough with nausea from the anesthesia and horrible gas pains! It gets better each day though! 3 days post op and I feel so much better[emoji2]. All the gas pain from surgery is gone. The only pain I'm having now is from two of my incisions. But it's not too bad[emoji1474] The first two days my pain meds were a God send! I don't have any Gerd or anything...in 3 days I'm down 8 pounds so far[emoji3] My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's hospital in Chicago [emoji3]

I'm newly sleeved, 3 days post op and 8 pounds loss so far[emoji3] Surgery was 4/19 @. 263.0....today 4/22 @ 255[emoji3] My one week check up is this coming Thursday. I started the full liquid phase today,does anyone have any other suggestions as far as full liquid eating choices? Im doing premier protein,carnation instant breakfast protein shakes and cream of chicken or mushroom soups. I know my protein shakes are a must but as far as other liquids,anyone have any other suggestions? I'm going out tomorrow to get some tomato soup and maybe clam chowder...

I go in tomorrow at 8am! For those of you who already had your procedure this month,how are you doing?[emoji2]

Surgery is in two days! I trust God that everything will be A okay[emoji1488][emoji1474]

Congrats! God has you! [emoji1488]

Thx! I had my final appt. 3/15. Surgery is set for 4/19. I have a pre-op meeting tomorrow 4/10. Yeah Dr. Lufti is great but I agree that the office is a bit disorganized! They were supposed to have called me for my final appt. on 3/15 but they didn't..I just so happened to call the day of the group appt.,2 hours before. So that was annoying as well...They also didn't stress getting doctors clearance from my PCP in order to get sleeved until the last minute AFTER I completed my 6 mo. requirements. They only told me that I just had to complete my 6 mo. requirements for insurance approval and that I would be scheduled for surgery.. That annoyed me too because my PCP didn't want to clear me because I'm anemic. Luckily the coordinator called and spoke with him,I just have to be sure and take my iron supplements.... So things got rocky towards the end but I'm almost there[emoji2]

Ty! Happy surgery to you[emoji3]

So my surgery is set for April 19th. I can't believe how fast my 6 mo. requirements went by! [emoji3] I start my 2 week diet on April 5th and pre op meeting on 4/10. Any other April sleevers in the house?[emoji2]

Oh I didn't have to do the sleep study. Not sure about that one... Things ran smoothly until my last month when Kim quit. Yeah I would stay atop of things with them calling you back. They are cool peeps but this aggravated me.. I'm gonna call them tomorrow to see if my paperwork was submitted. Yeah it's great to know someone going through the same program[emoji6][emoji3]
