Other than the pulmonary embolism I have developed, I have felt great. I can eat practically anything, just very small portions. I drink plenty of fluids, but must admit I do struggle to get in all my Protein. I will do better :-)

Pre-op weight 314

Day of surgery 295

Current 269

6 weeks out today, so that is 27 pounds down, and 45 total. Never lost that much before so quickly!

Not sure if I can say I would do it again since I have blood clot issues now related to the surgery, but I am thrilled with my results. I'm sure once the clots resolve and I lose even more weight, I will say, "you betcha!" When asked if I would do it again.

I'm 7 wks out today and down 53 lbs, 37 since surgery. I've been stalling for two weeks now. I joined a gym however haven't been yet as I have Planar Fasiitis and my feet are taped up. I go back to the dr Friday and hopefully the tape will work. I went and bought a few outfits that actually fit and aren't baggy and now I feel fat again. :(.

I had that too. When I first started walking it got worse but as I lost weight and kept walking its been great. I've had no problems and this was before surgery.

Invest in great sneakers. I used to go cheap but now I pay $90-120 for New Balances every year. It's worth it to never get those shots again.

Was sleeved Oct 31st and I am miserable. I have the worst heartburn 24/7 and any little thing I try to eat sits in the pit of my stomach once it passes through my esophagus which never seems to go smoothly. I end up vomiting and left with an aching belly...What the hell is going on? I want my other part of my stomach back, this is miserable....please tell me it will not be like this forever!! I went all day today without eating because it scares me to do so.....

      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.
