Hey all! So it has been 3 months since having the sleeve. I was just wondering where everyone is in terms of weight loss, exercise, eating, emotionally, socially, confidence wise, etc. Essentially how are you doing?!

.........;​Hi Miss. I am 4 months & 50 lbs and quite happy. I am very active socially....eating out and with friends homes is challenging but completely do-able because I can only eat 2-3 tablespoons of whatever. I avoid carbs & sugars totally. I think that is the secret to this whole thing....plus some exercise. I do the gym thing 2-3 times a week only (chair aerobics & stationary bike ). At age 74 I am pretty sure that's enough considering both my knees have been replaced.. I have great support and encouragement from both friends and family. ... Good luck to you.​

Me too. I had my sleeve March 22. Exercise is great, Im back to weight lifting and walk/jog. I feel pretty energized. In the beginning I was having buyers remorse bc of the soreness but its gone away now so Im good. Eating better and healthier is a must bc my stomach just wont tolerate the bad food anymore. The only thing that was frustrating was I went on a date and I could only eat the 2-3 tablespoons and I was full. My date was like thats it, and I was so embarrassed. But other than that, so far so good. I cant give you a number bc in the past the scale has been discouraging, but Ive gone from a 22W to a 18W and Im well on my way to a 16W.

I am 60 days out today and I have lost about 30 lbs. I am having difficulty eating enough since I'm just not hungry. I have to remind myself that my body needs fuel. Some days I have to have a shake at night as well as for Breakfast to hit my Protein number. :)

If my husband and I do go out, I order something small that I CAN have and then he doesn't order as much because he eats most of whatever I get.

Although I am the only one who had surgery, we are a team. I have a fantastic support system between my husband and family. For family gatherings, I bring chicken so I know that there is something that I will be able to eat and I can share the chicken with those who don't want burgers and hot dogs. My family is really great about not bugging me to eat more. They know that I just can't fit it in.

I haven't really done a lot for exercise yet, but I want to. I just need to find the right thing for me. That is the hardest part of this whole thing. Getting moving again. :) I know it will happen, I just have to make it happen.

      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!!
