I was sleeved on 2/6...and today is 3/17...yesterday was the first day that like 6 people told me I looked smaller!! So it took a month basically for it to be noticeable although I saw the scale sliding down. I felt like I had a secret, since it wasnt super noticeable that I had lost so much weight!! AND..this is still the beggining of a new life!!

Are you taking ur vitamins 2 times a day?

Star..I started to feel better after about a month...realistically. I didnt feel "terrible" during the whole process...but after a month you feel a LOT better!!

Lissa, Thanks so much for your positive energy everyday!!!

It feels good not to be a slave to food anymore!!! I look at it like that!!

Best wishes ladies!!!! It's show time!!!

Thanks so much!!! Im looking forward to the rest of my journey now.

At first I felt so restricted and closterphobic...but now that I am healing and able to do more, I actually love the feeling of getting full after a few bites. I am glad to get to this stage!!!

Someone told me to take a shot of Protein before and after my workout...let me tell you it made all the difference in the world!!! I actually went a little bit longer too!! Just passing on the info!

WOO HOO!! That has to be a great feeling!! Good for you!! Hard work is paying off!

if your body feels starved all the time it wont lose...pre-surgery that is how it worked

Bedhead...I remember we are sleeve twins! That's good your sleeve hasnt rejected anything. It feels alil funny going down...like i wanna let out a belch type of feeling but no pain...

I had some pureed chili last night...a few teaspoons...do you think it's too early for that??

Vitamin World, Walmart, Walgreens, it says liquid Protein, it has 42 grams of protien....cant see the name of brand..

i started doing the concentrated protien shots to help get the 64 in...

Agreed..that helped me out a whole lot

at first i had the moods swings, when i stopped taking that oxy-whatever...it all stopped

its weird how it works, and its hard to get the fluids in....lol

i had a headache a few days after surgery, but not since then....

I was told to start taking the biotin now to help with the eventual fallout....

One person who was sleeved at my job told me it took 6 weeks to start on mushies...so, Im guessing it may still be too soon. Im still on liquids and I will be 4 weeks out on Monday. Everyone's journey is different though....

Monday will mark 4 weeks out for me...I had a stall on week 3 of course..I got on top of my water intake and i lost 5 more pounds....I think we lose our loose water weight first...

Glad you are doing well!!!

WOO HOO! CONGRATS!!

That sounds good!! By April I may be able to get my 4 bites of something in!
