Hey ladies...glad everyone is doing well. Had a follow-up with the surgeon today and he says begin maintenance. I am 5'9" and 166. Happy medium. My BMI still says overweight but I wear size 6 clothes!

Hello all. I was sleeved 12/16/13. I am 5'9" start weight was 256lbs. I was pre diabetic, cholesterol was high and I had acid reflux. I currently weigh 195lbs. Labs are great. I feel wonderful! So grateful for this surgery. I hope everyone takes advantage of their second chance. Be blessed! [ATTACH]42728[/ATTACH]

Very nice!!! Great job!

That chest pain/stuck feeling is normal...I had it in the hospital and thru week 1....every now and then if I drink too fast or the liquid is too cold I still feel that way.

Thank you!! I'm gonna try some B12 this week also.

Yessssss!!! I wish I had more energy, but I understand my body is still healing. I went to a basketball game yesterday...standing room only...I was exhausted and still feeling it today!!

Hey all!! Sleeved 12/16 Sw;252, morning of surgery 236, CW 210. Having a relatively easy go of it. Protein shakes are no longer my friend and I have lots of fatigue, but no pain, no problems getting my fluids in either.

You look great!!

I pureed some turkey and sweet potatoes with the juice from the potatoes...3 bites later I was stuffed!! They were the best 3 bites EVER! Im on full liquid, but got the ok to puree some Christmas dinner from my surgeon yesterday.

My surgeon just set a 160lb goal for me...Im 5'9. I am good with 170. We shall see!

I had my meanie pants on today and I knew it but couldn't help it.

Yes but think of how fab we will be next year! Same surgery date :0)

Ewww a blister...oh my! The incision to the right of my belly button hurts from coughing. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, laying flat is not comfortable at all. The good thing is I am actually sleeping!!

Surgery was 12/16 and I believe I have the itchiest incisions in the world!! That is my chief complaint at this point so I suppose I am lucky. I am still on clear liquids and I don't move to fulls until Tuesday. I am looking forward to adding to my diet. When will this itching stop?? Ugghhhh!

I was told to rest and get my water in. Im really liking chicken broth!! So far its my favorite! I start protein next week.
