Post op 6 months! I have lost 75 pounds!

[cjloveydovey 24]

I seriously can't believe it. I've gone from a size 20 to 14. I am so incredibly happy. I've gone through cravings and food phases. At the beginning it was Fruit! I was buying a watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple every week at the grocery store. Then it was goldfish. I seriously had to hide the goldfish from myself so I'd stop eating them. Lol. Eggs!! I'm in love with eggs right now! eggs benedict, scrambled eggs, fried egg. I have an egg every morning!

I was walking every night with my husband after dinner but haven't in a few weeks. I have a crazy work schedule. I have experienced that crazy sweating when I'm eating too fast though. Also I do still spit up when I eat one bite too many. Although it's a little different than spitting up with the lap band.

Overall I'm happy. I can't believe I've lost this much so fast!

If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I had the lap band before the sleeve and this forum really helped me pre op.

Congratulations on your loss!

I currently have the band and I am hoping to get a revision to the sleeve. I see you had the band as well. In your experiences and being 6 months out, how do you compare the two? With the band I NEVER felt full...always hungry. And often I had that "stuck" feeling. Is it similar with the sleeve? I just want to feel full quicker!

I'd love your thoughts. Thanks!

It's completely different. I never felt full either. I was always hungry. Now it's more normal. And it's not a struggle to get food down now. I just eat a bite or two and I'm good. Seriously best feeling ever.
