I'm going to New York on 7/9 and plan on having a glass of wine. I think you're supposed to wait a year. Everything has agreed with my sleeve so I'm not anticipating any issues.

I haven't even tried any alcohol yet. I want too but I think if you wanna try it then do it. As long as your past the point of having a leak then it should be okay.

This heat is killing me.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I checked in. Things are going well. I have been busy with the kids and counting down their return to school. Weight loss is going well. I'm down to 183 and feeling great. I am going to start boot camp on 8/17. I haven't done any strenuous exercise, only walking, so I anticipate some body changes and weight loss to follow.

My food is about 900 calories a day. Protein 90 g, Carbs 56 g, Fats 35 g

My clothing is almost nothing because I have shrunk out of everything. I have gone down from an 18/20 to a 14 and a 1X/2X top to a L. I am going to check out consignment and Goodwill for some work pants.

Nothing seems to bother my sleeve food wise.

Hope things are going well for you guys.

Tssiemer hope you're feeling better.

I'm doing well! Down about 70lbs, feeling amazing, physically and mentally. My hair is falling out in handfuls, but other than that, I can't complain. Those first two months were rough, but worth it.

[Bloomer723 75]

@@bcostasbiggs how many months are you? I'm 3 months and just started losing hair. Not handfuls but a noticeable amount.

[bcostasbiggs 1]

Three months. I was sleeved on 4/22. I just started noticing it was bad in the last week or two. I'm thinking pixie cut.

[Bloomer723 75]

@@bcostasbiggs guess I forgot we are a week apart I was sleeved on 4/29. I'm going to try some product before going with a short cut. I'll be curios to see how things turn out for us.

@@Bloomer723 I am going to ask a friend who does hair if there's a good product. I am lucky, as I have pretty thick hair, too. I'm taking my Vitamins, but I guess it's just something that happens to some of us.

I'm 12 weeks this week. Losing a lot of hair! Been sick with c diff for 2 weeks. I've lost almost 70 lbs.

[Bloomer723 75]

@@Tssiemer1 - Ugh I just saw your post. Cdiff ain't no joke. Hope you're better.

I had a follow up appointment today with Ivan. Things are going great I'm down to 176, 26 pounds until my first goal. I thought I was losing pretty slow but Ivan was pleased with my progress. I did labs and everything is in the normal range. Labs are better than what they were pre-surgery. Hope every one is doing great.

I actually started with him and ended up having surgery at Georgetown with Dr. Eric Smith. He is fantastic and I truly love him!!
