Ok so I am officially 2 1/2 months out and I have lost 34 pounds, I know it's good and all but I thought I would have lost more by now being that I can hardley eat more than a few bites of anything, any reasons why this is happening, and what can I do to pick up this slow pace. Open to suggestions...

It took about 5 weeks for the pain to subside. I am a little over 2 months out and I've lost about 34 pounds so far. In my case It still hurts to eat, especially if I don't chew my food properly or if I eat to fast. Hang in there it will get easier.

It was about 4 weeks for me, it will pass soon just keep moving

Was sleeved in March 16, and I've lost 25 pounds, I thought I would have lost more than that but I will take it... How is everyone else doing? I still have a hard time eating and having problems getting on all my fluids...

I'm a month out and finding eating to be such a chore, I can't seem to get all my protein in and the shakes are getting old. I still cannot eat much. Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing or has been through this? Advice welcomed.

That's awesome, I was sleeved three weeks ago, any tips or advise you can share with the newly sleeved.... keep up the good work!

I told my family, close friends and a few co-workers, I too have experienced an outpouring of support and encouragement from my circle...

I love Starbucks and Panera, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can drink/eat there that is low on sugar, tastes good, and is good on protein?

Thanks everyone, I thought I had pulled something...

I'm ten days out (sleeved on March 16) and I have this soreness on my right side, it hurts when I stretch or take a really deep breath... When will the soreness subside? I'm over this already...

Well I am Hispanic and everyone knew I was having surgery, I went to the hospital with my husband, my children, my parents, and my best friend, oh yeah my sister showed up too before I went in... I was visited by lots of family and friends in the next couple days after. I don't understand the whole secrecy thing only those near and dear were told about the surgery and which is still alot of people, but the outpouring of support has been great

I started Puréed foods today, I have no Problems getting my liquids down and protein, had some Mozerella cheese today and some turkey, (small tiny bites) went down fine with no issues, I'm chewing it down to nothing before swallowing... the thought of Purée really turns me off... Is this okay? I'm only a week out?

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Wow it's been three days since my surgery, I'm finding it difficult to stay hydrated, any suggestions....

Good luck & blessings to you, mine is at noon, I think I'm the last person on my Doc's List!! LOL But that's ok I'm just glad the day is here!!

Thanks everyone for the advice! Yes I'm super excited and ready to start my journey!!!

So excited!! I'm getting sleeved tomorrow, and I can't wait, any advice for the first few days?
