Welcome Quianna! I have been extreemly overweight as a child and just kept packing on the poounds through out the years. I got sleeved Sept 27th at 327 pounds and I am so happy to see the scale moving downward! This is a challenging journey but it is SO rewarding!!

I actually had a 2 week Stall but I am still very happy because since surgery a month ago I have lost 21 pounds! I started getting so upset and frustrated with myself during the stall and "slow weightloss" but then I really put things back in perspective. If I do my best and lose 20 pounds a month or close to it, I will be down 100 in 6 months!!! How crazy is that?!?! I

Isn't it exciting to see the scale moving downward? I know I would not have been able to lose weight and keep it off without my new little tool. I am so thankful for it

life changing event, 2weeks post-op.

Quianna

welcome to the sleeve board

the one thing all of us have in common - we all started this journey being overweight - or "pleasingly plump"

2 weeks PO - you'll get alot of advise/help from other sleevers - lots of good info to absorb

then you jump in again with your questions

take care

speedy recovery

see you around the Water cooler
