April 20 Sleevers Progress

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I just wanted to check in. I hope everyone is doing well and improving every day.

I had my first follow-up appointment yesterday and everything is going well. I told my mom and my sister (who will tell everyone else) how much I lost, but I told them that I am not going to announce my weight loss every time. I don't want to get caught up in numbers.

I have been able to reach my Protein goal since the second day I was allowed Clear liquids. The Protein and Water numbers are the only measurements I want to focus on.

The highlight of this week is my transition to full liquids. Cottage cheese, V8, and yogurt taste so good.

I am looking forward to soft foods. In addition, I am eager for my incisions to heal and the weather to warm enough to get in the pool.

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by post-surgery. May is going to be a great month.

Congratulations on the good start and recovery! Now that I am 5 months out weight loss has slowed considerably. For my family I update every 10 pounds or so which is plenty. They get to share the excitement without it being too much.

Good Luck.

Hi Lellashine,

I too have been slow losing. I was sleeved on May 6 and have only lost about 16lb. to date (that's just a little over 2 lb. a week). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or right and didn't know if this is normal?

How are you doing now?
