I was sleeved April 20th. I'm done 30 pounds but I lost 10 before surgery. I'm at a stall and frustrated. I get my Protein and Water in daily, take two Multi Vitamins and Calcium daily. I'm having a hard time exercising because my knees are bad. I can sure feel the difference in my clothes. It's great to see how others are doing. I'm thankful for this site and all of you!!

I was sleeved on 4/10 also. Down 42 pounds. I need to start exercising. I'm trying to find a place with a pool that doesn't cost too much.

Hi all! I had surgery 4/18, and am down 32 pounds... I know we all lose differently, but I'm a little worried this is too slow. I'm losing 1-2 pounds a week at this point. Is this normal? Any suggestions on how I can get the scale to move a little faster??

8 weeks today and I am enjoying the beach with my daughter on our girls trip! Just finished bronzed grouper. Eating has been rocky but I love my sleeve. I'm a slow loser. When I left town I was down 22 lbs and sitting at 200.0 hoping for onderland when I get home! So happy! Best wishes to all the April sleevers!

I am a long way from onelander, BUT... I have to admit yesterday was the first day I got up, got dressed and really felt like I had lost weight. I mean, I just felt thinner. I am sitting at 285 and I know for those of you that are way less, you probably think...REALLY????? At 285!!!! But.... I came from a high weight of 368, so I really do feel thinner now. My arms hang closer to my sides. I can feel my lower leg bones, my collar bones, etc. My summer clothes are starting to hang on me, but I really don't want to buy clothes until winter. A new bra, that I think I will just have to break down and go buy maybe this weekend. I can officially say, I am no longer a DD.

Well, that is my victory for this week. I actually feel thinner....better....happy....in control of my food. Wow, those have all been a long time in coming. Cheers everyone and here is to a fab rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!

<p>Hello April sleevers I was sleeved on April 10th and I weighed in at 235 I am now 198 and feeling so much better about myself. I can practically eat anything. Its learning how to detect when I had enough or a certain type of food that just dont work. When ever that happens I dont throw up but I salivate like a dog for about 10 minutes. Terrible feeling especially if im out:(

I was sleeved on April 19th and weighed 287 day of surgery. Today, I'm at 240. I am feeling great. It hasn't all been easy, but definitely worth it. I have learned a lot about my relationship with food!

Sleeved here in Dallas Texas on 4/10 weighed in at 261 and now I am 220. Without my sleeve I would not have lost anything and prob gained more. Took a couple weeks to realize this is just a tool and not a miracle. Pisses me off when people say things like "just fourth one pounds" or "that's it".......trying to stay away from the haters.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
