Nicky, what a wonderful way of putting what I'm feeling into words I'm 3 months out, and enjoying every bite! I still make very conscious decisions of what to put in my body, and make sure I hit my protein goals, but have enjoyed a bite or two of cupcake at birthday parties. I must be doing something right as I'm down 62 lbs in my 3 months, and 112 lbs since my first appointment back in February. I think you are on the right track to be very successful!!

Hey all!! I'm tall as well I'm 6', highest was 400+ (not sure where as the scale at the gym only went up to 400 and I was over). When I started my bariatric program in February I was 377, 327 for surgery June 11, and as of today 276. That is 101 pounds GONE since I started my journey. I was wearing 30/32s and now am down to 22/24s. The sleeve is a fantastic tool ad I'm SO blessed to have found this. I've attached a mosaic of my journey...there is one at my heaviest, one month pre-op, one month post-op and two months post-op.

Hello all! Well...I've officially lost 100 lbs from my highest weight (78 lbs since starting the bariatric program in February and 26 lbs since surgery June 11th). I can't remember the last time I was under 300 lbs...I remember making up a number for 280 when I got my driver's license when I was 16....but I think I was low balling my actual weight. @ 400+ lbs @304 1 month post op

Congrats Piplula!! I JUST hit Twunderland too It's the best feeling!

I had to do a 3 month diet for insurance, and honestly I'm SO grateful. It really gave me time to start getting my life in order for surgery! I was seeing the NUT and Psych at the same time, and did not meet with the surgeon until I had my approval letter from the insurance company. Once I was approved, things moved pretty quickly Good luck! I really encourage you to use this time to prepare

They are ok I found they were the best mixed with Crystal Light Lemonade! I would recommend sticking to the sample packs, I didn't like any enough to buy a big canister.

As soon as I moved from clear liquids to full liquids I stalled. It's been 4 days now with the scale not moving. Not really freaking out as I know this is normal. Oh well

I shaved mine 6 days post op. Had no problems

Nate! I wish you all the best in recovering from your clot. Hopefully this is the last we hear of clots

Hello all So glad I found this thread! I'm 30 and living in Minnesota. Was sleeved a week ago and doing awesome. Already down 14.4 lbs and not looking back. I am so very thankful for this opportunity to start my life over, gonna have a much better next 50 years than my first 30.

I have been wondering the same things! I feel some soreness around my abdomen...but no pain. I drink all my fluids, still on clears, but rarely feel restriction. A lot of times worried I'm drinking too fast and am going to cause a leak. Hopefully the restriction does come with purees!
