This is not like getting a liposuction where you loose on different regions (and then it comes back worst). However people started telling me my face looked a lot more thin, but I noticed clothes fitted a lot better even on my first week out. I'm on my 7th week out and I have gone from 253 to 210.. VERY HAPPY with my sleeve! Take care!

How much is too much pork rinds? I ate a whole 'small' bag... I feel pretty guilty :001_rolleyes:

This is the first time I post in this thread. I was sleeved on april 28 @ 253 pounds. My weight this morning was 215. Any way, my NSV: I was asked by a friend I hadn't seen since surgery if I had a liposuction done! Does that count as an NSV?

The best is yet to come!

Would it be ok if I started jogging at 4 weeks out?

All the exercise and weight-loss will give you a better high than weed

OMG! When can I eat this? After mushies, soft foods?

Hey Paul! I started walking about 3 hours after I woke up from the anesthesia; I walked about 15 minutes twice that same day. Three days later I started walking about two miles everyday since then.

Hey Champ, did your wife get an upper GI the day after she got sleeved??

Wow, thanks everyone!! Immore, on surgery day I was at 253. Today I am at 227.. Thats about 26 pounds

Mine is a 38

I feel paranoid its gonna make me gain weight or stall.. Should I be worried?

Today is my day 16 post op. Is it ok to eat half of a small chili from Wendy's?? i just did and I don't know if I should feel guilty. I feel pretty stuffed though

lobster roll.. that sounds yummy!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Stcyt, Midwestgirl!! I start mushies on Wednesday, so I guess I'll be having tuna sashimi in about a month with no problem..

I'm consuming about 300 calories daily. I start mushies on Wednesday

Has anyone had sushi after being sleeved?? <-- obviously after completing mushies phase.. If so, how many pieces could you get in? thanks!

Hi everyone! For those who don't know me, I got sleeved on April 28 at Florida Medical Center @ Ft. Lauderdale. My doctor never made me do a pre-op diet. On the day of surgery, I was on my highest weight which was 253.. My height is 5'7.. 12 days out and I have already lost 24 lb.. My weight this morning was 229! First two days were pretty hardcore, my abdominal area hurt a lot more than I thought it would. I felt very bloated. I started walking about three hours after I got out of surgery. I barely could take deep breathes or cough because my left side hurt too much. Third day, no pain at all.. maybe a little around the incisions. Now I'm feeling great! I have been following my post-op diet very strictly though. Getting my 64 oz of Water down, consuming 70-80 grams of Protein (I use Isopure, which is carb free). I am trying to avoid carbs as much as possible. At most, I am probably consuming about 10 grams of carbs per day. On the first 8 days I was walking around two miles everyday.. Lately I've been feeling a bit weak,, but besides that I am feeling AWESOME! Clothes isn't tight anymore:001_cool: I already know that this is the best decision I have made.. I regret not having it done before. Feel free to ask anything and thanks for reading!

You are SOO gonna prove that Doctor wrong! Congrats!!

Haven't had surgery yet, but I can tell you I already miss cheesecake! I'm in a pre-op diet

Hola! FYI, this is the best site to learn all there is to the sleeve.

Hey Swiftflow, I sleep with a bottle of diet coke beside my bed every night. BTW, you and I will be having surgery on the same date! The 28th is a Wednesday if I'm not mistaking. Mine will be taking place in Florida.. We should keep in touch.. Take care bro

Hi! My doctor instructed me not to take any anti-inflamatory meds such as advil pre and postop. I suffer a lot from allergies and every now and then and I take benadryl. Anybody knows if benadryl could affect anesthesia or the surgery? My surgery is on the 25th of april. Thanks!
