I was sleeved 10/23 at South Nassau Hospital. At 7 weeks out now feeling pretty good. Still need to do a better job at getting Protein and Water. Do not really feel hunger. It's more of a chore to eat and not that enjoyable either.

I'm feeling pretty good antbarrella. Trying to get all my fluids and Vitamins in. Doing better with Protein. I went back to work a week after surgery and find I have to remind myself to drink and eat. You were at south Nassau on nov 20th?

I'm a Long Island sleever, too! Dr. Ahmad at Mather Hosp. Port Jeff. on Oct. 11, 2012. so far I've lost 68.5 lbs. since starting Pre-op diet in Aug. (-46 since surgery). I feel great but meals are a struggle since I still cant tolerate more than 4 oz or 1/4 cup max. volume solid foods. Creamy foods are better, can have at least 1/2 cup of creamed Soups, yogurt, pudding or milk which seems to satisfy me more than a few bites of solids. Does anyone go to suport group meetings?

I live in Franklin Square LI, but I was sleeved in Manhattan. I wish there was a support group at 7pm on LI. I know there is one at 630 at Winthrop but that's too early since I work in the city. Do you guys know of any later groups?

Hi holly,

Hi all, I haven't been here in a while because I feel ashamed of myself. I feel like such a failure. I was sleeved on July 11 and have only lost 54 lbs. I cheat all the time and am back to my unhealthy behaviors. I started out at 271lbs went down to 217lbs and am now fluctuating between 217 and 222 lbs. I need to get back on track or else this was all for nothing and a big fat waste. Please help me get back on track!!!!

Why don't you call your doctors office and ask for an appointment with the nutritionist to try and get back on track.

I think I will. Thanks
