Hi everyone, I signed up awhile back but today is my first time posting. I had the sleeve on Mar 6 so today starts my 5th week. So far so good, I have followed my surgeon and dietitians guides exactly and no sickness or dumping. I'm going to hope it stays that way. I look forward to talking to you all throughout our journeys.

Hi- congrats on your success thus far. I just joined today. I had my gastric sleeve on March 27th so one week ago today. Doing well with my liquids. Still have some pain, but everyday is getting better. Started pre-op diet at 235, surgery date at 223 & today at 217, so feel like Im making progress.

Having trouble with some family who cant understand why I would do this & trying hard not to be emotional. At this point I feel like this is done and the q&a sessions should be done. Tired of having to justify why I did this.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi jskittles3,

We had about the same starting numbers. My starting weight was 251, surgery day weight was 230 and day 28 post op I was 224. I didn't tell hardly anyone before I had surgery because i didn't need everyone's negative opinions so when they find out now I'm just like I had the gastric sleeve and I feel great and they don't have much to say. The biggest question is how are you surviving on such little food.
