Congratulations, that's great! The reason I ask I was sleeved on July 28 and I've only lost 10 lbs my loss seems very slow haven't lost anything in about 4 days[/quote

Only! Only! Ten pounds!! That's great !!!

Yes I'm happy for the 10 lbs but it just seems like everyone else is losing so much more, I'm just wondering if the low calories I'm taking in are affecting my progress

Nine days out and feeling great! I've developed an aversion to sweet things (which is good in the long run I guess), but it's definitely making drinking Protein Shakes difficult. Also lots of tiredness/lack of energy. But other than that I feel good, it's been a smooth recovery.

I was sleeved on 7/27 and I'm down 18 lbs. I average about 350-400 calories a day and I'm still on full liquids. I am eagerly counting down to Tuesday when I can start purées. Right now I am gagging my shakes down! I have so many wonderful things planned for purées. I just can't wait to taste food again!

Hi all!! How's everyone doing?

Hello! I'm doing great. Surgery July 29. Down nearly 40 lbs. Just started soft foods. Struggling w the Water intake. At the low end of the approved Protein intake. Walking, sipping, walking, sipping. Figuring out my sleeve. Dealing w some Constipation (eek)! How is everyone else doing?

[naturegirl 320]

Will be 4 weeks on the 21. So far I'm down 42 pounds. 20 from my 2 week preop diet, 22 since surgery. I haven't been at 226 since maybe 2008. Currently wearing a pair of shorts that I haven't worn since we went to Walt Disney World in 2010.

Hi all! My surgery was July 20th. I'm at the four week mark and adjusting to my life as a sleever. Currently down 67 lbs.... 38 of which I lost pre-op!

Currently struggling with Fluid intake... I'm always sipping and never satisfied. Always thirsty.
