My Natalie & I was sleeved on July 22, 2014. My highest weight was 323 & I have lost about 40lbs so far & feeling much better already. I have been stuggling to lose weight for all of my adult life. After I had my second child I just could not loose the weight & been trying every since. It is so surreal for me to finally have success at a healthy lifestyle. I don't want to mess it up.

welcome welcome welcome to Sleeveland :)

can never have too many newbies with lovely smiles :)

is Natalie your daughter????

happy to hear your weight loss has already effected you in a positive way!!!

you said ....."Don't want to mess it up"!!!

continue to follow all the rules that you have been learning to a "T"

easier said than done???

well, i know you want to be successful - and following all the rules is the only way to go

i've always thought the many different Water rules are the most important

ie drinking at least 64 oz a day

stop drinking about 25 minutes before you eat

never never never ever drink with your meals :o (people have been shot for less :D )

don't ever, ever drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat

your NUT will give you instructions on times, and other questions about food you have

come back to this board, read other peoples questions and answers

any of their" burning" ;) questions could apply to you also

you can always go to the SEARCH area and look for some info on............

keep up the good work

continue following all the rules :)

40 lbs down :o :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
