I'm glad I'm not the only one loosing slowly...I had my surgery on 6/1 and have only lost 18 pounds, it seems like a little bit to me. Are there any tips that anyone can share that will help me be successful in this journey?

Patch MD have been working for me.

I was sleeved on 6/1 and have lost 16 pounds. I have not lost anything in week 3-4. I'm hoping I can see some change in the coming weeks. Keep motivated!

I drove a week post op. I made sure to wear comfy pants the first few weeks.

Hey there! I was also sleeved on 6/1. I as well am on soft foods. I agree using a small spoon and smaller plates have helped. I tend to use disposable appetizer plates and serve myself the amount a toddler would eat. I also pause when I eat, but usually get warned by a "hiccup/burp" that I've had enough. My 9 year old daughter even knows when I've had enough as I make this face like I can't eat anymore. Hope this helps!

I thought I was the only one. I was sleeved on 6/1 and have lost 16 pounds. I have not lost anything this week, instead I gained 1 pound. Reading everyone's posts have helped.

I was sleeved on 6/1, best decision I've ever made. It's been a huge transition but all worth it. Congrats to all who have done it!

I am 19 days post op and have been drinking Crystal Light (peach tea) which is my favorite, Propel (Berry)and G2 (Raspberry Lemonade). Good luck with your recovery.

I had my first post op visit on 6/9 and wish I could have asked when I could start working out at the gym? I've received different time frames from others I know whom been sleeved. I'll definitely ask my doctor on my next visit.
