That is super awesome!! So cool!! Congrats!

I'm not done yet... But forgot I took a picture the day after my surgery March 1, at 254 pounds. Today is July 16 and I am 193.4 and am stunned with how much better life is in a smaller size. My ultimate goal is 145 or so, and I am steadily losing about 2 pounds a week right now. The sleeve is awesome.

Can't believe I have lost 60 pounds ! I am 4 1/2 months postop..., starting weight of 254, today at 194! I am now in the smallest clothes I had held onto from about 8 years ago, and really need to do some shopping as the styles are definitely dated, but I don't want to buy any until it's a smaller size! I had the lap band initially in 2007, and it never seemed to work right- think I lost 30 pounds total and was always getting "stuck" before it finally "slipped" in 2011 and was removed. The sleeve is far superior in every way, and I could not be happier!! Another big difference this time is this message board- it is so full of encouragement, so full of good information, and has kept me motivated and on the right path!! Thanks so much!! Also, I am devoted and faithful to myfitness pal - and I believe it has also been pivotal in my success and encourage anyone to try it!! You can also friend me DocAngTx12 !!

That is fantastic! I am 5 weeks out and been in a bit of a stall myself, I'm having a hard time tolerating fluids and foods... Only eating 500 cal/day... I'm going to use your example and try to up to 7-800 and see if I can break the stall! Again, congrats on your success!!

4 weeks out... Eating out for 1st time... And since I live in South Texas... At a Mexican restaurant! I can't believe how little I ate compared with what I ate pre-surgery... I found cilantro chicken skewers on the menu, and could only eat about 2 pieces of chicken off 1 skewer (2oz), and am so full! I did eat some salsa (maybe a tablespoon)... But It feels so good to eat normalish food, and feel such power over the food!! I am down 34 pound overall since pre-surg 2 week diet, and it feels great!

Weight before sleeve: 254
Weight after(now): 218
How long post op: 4 weeks
Loss so far: 36 pounds

OMG! Almost to 3 weeks and easing into mushies... And I had no idea that grits and eggs could be so good!! All mixed up in a bowl... And so much like real food! Maybe I'm just desperate... But it's so good!

Benadryl cream doesn't work at all. Take a benadryl tablet... Adult dose is 50mg... But that will also make you very sleepy, so you may want to take 1 tablet (25mg) and see how you do. The cortisone cream may help as well, but take the Benadryl. It really does look like an allergy by the pictures, and I am a doctor.
