January Newbies ! Progress ?

[fellingood 0]

I had my surgery on Jan 15th., and had my 1st. follow up today. I was 346 at time of surgery and am now 330. Been relatively painless. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital and only used the morphine for one day. Been walking a lot, but don't get too much gas. Have tried yogurts, Jello and pudding all tolerated well. Looking forward to upping workout and increasing the loss.

I was sleeved January 14th and I have lost 18lbs. I do have some issues where I do not drink enough or eat enough. I do have indigestion when I eat or drink which stinks, I hope it goes away soon.

I had surgery Jan 4th. I lost 17lbs the first week and nothing since then can't figure out what is going on. Any thoughts? I have been walking at least 3 x a week.

I was sleeved on the 8th and dropped about 16 pounds the first week and nothing at all since. Pretty aggravating but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its just our bodies adjusting and we'll start dropping pounds again in no time!!

Surgery was 10/18. My day of surgery weight was 179. Today I'm 173.2! Almost 6 pounds and not even a full week yet! I am only 5'2". I am so excited to see the scale move down and not be hungry!

I was sleeved on January 2nd. Starting weight was 286 and I'm down to 263. I'm 5'8". The first two days were tough. I was nauseated and hungry as hell. I was starting to regret it. A week out, I mourned food....literally. I was so depressed. It rained for two weeks straight, I couldn't go outside and I couldn't eat my beloved food. I was like a junkie detoxing. I was depressed and couldn't run to food for comfort. Gradually, the weight started coming off and I was no longer short of breath while walking or putting on shoes. My energy levels improved. My clothes were looser. I chew my food better, and I just need to slow my eating down. Today, I broke into a run chasing my daughter through the house : she said "momma! Do you realize that you actually RAN??!!" There was no breathlessness, either! These small victories are wonderful and make me plug on. It hasn't been easy but I would do it again. I have less pain in my weight-bearing joints, too. Every day I enjoy a new little victory. As hard as it was at first, I'd do it again tomorrow!

I'm on clears only until Sat then I can try soft foods like yogurt and cream of wheat. My belly is still swollen and trying to walk the gas out! Over all I'm doing well:)
