6 Months Out, How Is It Going?

[AYRW71 26]

I was sleeved on July 29th and would love to hear from all my fellow July and August sleevers. How has your journey been so far?

I was sleeved 8/3, loving my sleeve. I am down 78lbs including preop, wish it was a little more, but I am grateful. I had a total knee replacement 6 weeks ago, and that has changed my eating pattern and exercising too, but hope to get back on track soon, as soon as I can get off the pain medication. Sounds like you are doing well, thanks for asking.

I was sleeved on Aug 10. Im down 80 lbs including pre op. I no longer have sleep apnea! Im doing great! I love how I have so much more energy and i am really enjoying living an active lifestyle now. The hardest part for me is getting in all my Water. I was hopping it would get easier as time went on but i still really struggle with this. How are things going with you Ayrw71? From the looks of your stats your doing AMAZING!

I guess I did kinda forget to mention how I was doin. Lol! The first few months were very difficult. I had constant nausea and vomiting everyday. It has gotting so much better and I would do it all again. My sleep apnea has also drastically improved. I am still learning my "full" spot and sometimes go way too far and it becomes uncomfortable. But I am loving my decision to do this and loving the results. It's great to hear that everyone is going well.

Here's to our continued success!

My six month check up is next week. I was sleeved on August 14. HW 230 SW 215 CW 159. I had a horrible stall the entire month of January up until today. Whew! I was starting to panic a little. Great job everyone! It was really hard for me the first 2 months but I love my sleeve now.

I was sleeved on 7/8/15 and am down 129 lbs so far ... 30 more to go to my big goal ... and anything after that is a bonus!

I ( knock on wood ) haven't had any major issues ... still learning what "full" means ...

Discovering so many new and wonderful things that I can do now because this extra person I was carrying around is gone!

I actually enjoy clothes shopping for the first time in YEARS ...

Down from a 32 pant to a 20 and 4xl/5xl shirts to a xl ...

AND ...

I can actually buy clothes in a REAL STORE! No more catalog only shopping for me!

I would do this all over again in a heartbeat ...

BY FAR THE BEST DECISION EVER!

I was sleeved July 29 and am down 117 lbs including preop diet. Along the way I've shed many clothing sizes (50 to 36 in pants; and XXL to L in general) My co-morbidites have disappeared and I'm off all meds but my daily Vitamin supplement and nexium, I feel great and more alive than I have in many years. Still finding my way about what I can and can not eat, but all in all I am really happy I did this!
