"I got my tube out.. Woop, Woop, Woop, Woop!"
I am sooooo happy! I was scheduled to get it out on the 28th. I DID NOT want to wait that long. I was barely secreting anything so I decided to call and ask to see if I could get it out earlier. I figured the worse they could say was no and I would be back at square one. Well, they took it out and removed my staples. I feel soooo much better!
By the way, it didn't hurt a bit. Don't be scared!

Thanks everyone, and congrats to you as well! Yes, I was sleeved on 6/11. I only lost 6 lbs on my pre-op diet. I'm so excited and thankful to have this tool to help me with my overeating problem. I'm still having a hard time knowing when to stop...seems I can only stop eating when it hurts. And sure, I'd love to "race" with ya kamrie.

OOOO, Girl, I am almost to where you are at and can't wait! My BMI is lingering just above 40. I am at 234.2 today. I can't wait to be in Onederland!
How about I race you?

Oh I so love to kick people in the bum...!
My best advice is to go find something to do. None of us are obese because we're hungry. Hunger has nothing to do with it. Never has, never will. And the more you think about it, the more you're going to want it. Distract yourself, if you can.
And think of all that weight you won't have to lose all over again if you stick with it.

Welcome to the June Sleever's!

Ok, I downloaded map my walk app and it is awesome! It is a real motivator.

Thank you for the information!
Walking is the only excercise right now that I do on a regular, I walk 3 miles 5-6 days weekly and I don't get bored with it. I get very easily tired of Gyms and things like Zumba or Step excercising hurts my knees not to mention I have no balance whatsoever. Walking has helped my weightloss immensely! Once I get to my goal weight I will try other things to help me firm up but until then walking has been my best go to excercise and the best part...It's Free!

Stealing this Recipe! Sounds Delish....I get the best ideas on this site.
Thank you!

That is great! And 4 miles walking is wonderful! Good for you!

I like MyfitnessPal. I used it before surgery and already have friends on it. The only problem is everyday since surgery it tells me I am eating too few calories!

Everyone is so different with this. I had very little pain - just felt sore like I did a thousand crunches. I was tired, but not to the point that I couldn't take care of my kids. By a week and a half I felt good. I was back to work at 2 weeks. I think you will be fine. Just have the 11 & 9 year old help out with the 5 year old and you should be fine.
Good luck!

I can't wait for that! Seeings how I can't actually "see" what I am doing, I know that I may miss a spot (I just take it all off since it is easier than trying to shape something I can't see). I wonder if the Dr.s are used to seeing "patchy" jobs down there.

Mine said at least 6. The scabs over the incisions have to have fallen off naturally and the scars completely healed. I am dying to get in my tub all the way lol.

Your Dr. will let you know. Mine said 5 weeks.

Decided to give in and weigh myself. (The doc asked me not to.) Down 21pounds post op! Wooooo whoooo

Everyone is different. I was sleeved on June 12th also and have lost 13lbs. Last time I checked I had NEVER lost 13lbs in 2 weeks. You just have to have faith in the process.... Keep sipping and keep walking.

I feel the same way. Just got to b patient

I was sleeved on the 13th and I have lost only 6 pounds. I dont think it is realistic to lose 10 pounds a week. Rather, average out how much you lose per month because our body fluxuates. But I hear you, I thought I would have lost more but at least I havnt gained!

Wow! Sounds awesome! Will you come cook for me?? LOL! How fun that you and your husband both have the sleeve - I mean I've got great support but to have someone who "gets it" from the inside would be awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I really do understand that.
My Husband is a big fan of nudes with the classical pose...and now I can do that! He was sooooo er, happy!

I just got waxed this morning and the gal told me we'd have to start doing a real bikini wax soon (I'd recently gone to full leg - why wax what no one's going to see, right?). Not that I'm looking forward to a bikini wax, but I AM looking forward to looking decent enough to need one!

Holy Moly... 97 pre op? You are ALREADY a success!! You are going to rock the sleeve! I was sleeved on the 12th as well. I lost 10.2 pounds so far. I get on the scale every morning. I am addicted. Yesterday I didn't lose anything and this morning I only lost the .2, but I am moving down. Maybe not as fast as some, but it is definitely going in the right direction.
I wouldn't worry about not losing anything. I don't see how you can't.
