Hey Gang!!! I hope everyone is doing their very best, pre and post op sleevers.

Monday I finally went back to work and had a blast. I put on a bright pink dress with make up and all and had a great non stressful day. I will say I have had more success with eating adequately and slowly since I have come back to work. I am drinking more than my 32 ounces of Water with no problem.. maybe I should have came back sooner.

This process has been a blessing and a curse sometimes. I did not have any major complications. My only complaint was the stomach cramps. No vomiting, little nausea and no "bathroom" problems.

Surgery did make my surgery a week late but that was to be expected.

Soo here are the stats.

Initial Consultation- 280

Submission Day- 291

Surgery Day-272

Today?????? Drum Roll Pleaseeeeeeee............. 258!!!

Now If only I could find a dedicated gym partner, that would be great!

I am trying to go to the gym or outside with my son everyday and also 30min 4 times a week in the morning.

Here are some of my NSV's

-A pair of shorts I bought 1 day after my wedding were super tight on my thighs and I could not get them up... Put them on the other day, --:-) Dance party in my bedroom, smiles all around.. They came up and I had some room.

-- My workout clothes are becoming lose again!

---Yesterday while getting out of my car, a man in a minivan stopped his car and said,

" Ma'am, I just had to let you know it's nice to see a pretty thick woman, you are beautiful"... Then he drove off! Confirmation at the least, ego booster!

---- My husband and I have "drives" through the roof right now!

----- I have inspired my husband to eat healthier and lose weight for the upcoming trip.. Love him either way!

------ I actually chased after my son while on his new bike yesterday without becoming winded. Also walking with my coworker around the block twice without my back tightening up on me.....

I am thankful I was able to have surgery, have such a wonderful support system and also hopefully be an inspiration and greatly supportive to all of you !!!!!!!!!

Hi. What did you do to get the scale moving again. I too am stuck. I am at 5 weeks now lost 25 till date have been stuck for the past week.

[InMyNext30Years! 42]

Be patient I am on week 7 and I didn't loose week 5-7 i was extra frustrated because week 5 is when i started walking 4 miles a day! lol then on Wednesday I started to loose again!

[JustSayMoe 163]

So far so good. I was sleeved on Valentines. 397 on Jan 31 when the preop diet started. 338 this morning.

I started eating solids on Thursday. I'm tolerating them well, but I'm really piling on the hot sauce. I've always loved spicy food, but I love it even spicier now. Very strange. I feel like I can almost take a drink of Tabasco straight.

Getting down reg food will certainly get easier with time! Glad things are well.
