Thanks so much everyone.!!!! I feel amazing!!!

Hey all I've been missing for awhile. All is well, I feel like a brand new person. I'm working out eating right and down 2 sizes. Down 43lbs from my highest weight down 24 since surgery 6/16 made 2 months post op

Here's a before and after

You are doing awesome! Keep it up! Just wanted to tell you even tho you don't see it on the scale doesn't mean it's not working. I would always see it on my clothes then on the scale. I'm a year out and haven't lost anything since dec. but I've gone down 3 sizes. Just remember your body may be redistributing the weight. Good luck!

Thanks so much and Congrats to u!!

You look fabulous!

Thank you!!!

Slow loser here too' date=' but you look fantastic and it sure looks like you've lost more! I just broke a two week stall where I lost no weight at all, but still dropped a full dress size. Betting you will have a similar experience!

I'm still hoping it picks up in the upcoming months, but if not ill take what I can get!

Way to go...keep up the good work.

Thank you!!

Yayyy!!! Congrats!!! Let's rememeber slow and steady wins the race lol gives us opportunity to keep up with skin and keep it off! I too have to stop.comparing to others journeys and enjoy my own!

Thanks

I was a little disappointed with the fact that next week I will be 1 month post op and I only lost 12 lbs. Then I refocused, realized I never lost that much that quickly and decided to focus on nsv's. I am down 2 sizes, my feet shrunk, my confidence is up, and lastly I went to the mall today for some shopping and for my daily walk and even got some admirers. Also for the first time in awhile I wasn't ashamed to be seen with my very thin sister!

That happened to me' date=' and my doctor made me go back to liquids, Soups, and soft foods for a few more days. Take it slow, and check with your nut [/quote']

Thanks! Im gonna take even smaller bites and steer away from the fish for a little while. Just so nervous I'm messing up lol "/

I've been having my Mushies. As previously stated fish and cabbage sits well with me. For dinner I had my norm and my chest started to hurt. It sits there for awhile then I feel it going down. Is this a sign of eating to much or to fast? Am I hurting my sleeve?

I'm currently drinking eas pre made chocolate shakes. But I think I'm am going to change up for a shake with more Protein. Mine only has 17g. You had your surgery? Congrats!!!!

I am so excited! And to think I thought I was loosing to slow

Wow congratulations! What have you been doing throughout your three weeks

Thank you! Not to much, not cleared to work out yet so I'm just walking everyday. I'm on Mushies and found cabbage and baked fish agrees really well with me. Eat every 4 hours (my body is in tune with my eating schedule. Ten mins past eating time and she goes crazy lol) Trying to up my Water and Protein intake

Non scale victory. Accomplishments outside of scale numbers

Are you in any pain. My stomach hurts thinking about it lol. It's a learning process you'll get the hang. I can only eat about a half a cup and I'll be 3 weeks on Monday

I almost 3 weeks out.. highest weight was 317 day of surgery 298 today 280....37lbs from my highest weight 18lbs since surgery.... Anddddd I'm down a size. From size 20 to size 18... Watch out 16's I'm coming!!!!!!

I am 2.5 weeks post op and I am sleeping my life away. It worried me cause I am in my Mushies stage and I would sleep through lunch and I was worried about being hydrated.

Lol great way to look at it dorrie. Lissa hot sauce has become my best friend! I am so glad my sleeve tolerates it

Thanks, two more weeks!! I can't wait hopefully it will be more fulfilling

I started my Mushies early (yea I advanced myself about 3 days before I should have) I'm sure ill enjoy food again later on. But as of right now it takes forever to eat and have to set a timer every 4 hours to remind me to eat. I'm chewing mush (yuck) I was excited the first day but now its a chore.

Hello all. I'm a 37 AA female sleeved on 4/24/12. Can anyone share their experience with gas? How long did it take you to get past that' date=' if ever? What were your techniques for relieving the trapped gas? Did Shapewear or compression garment help? I also had a hiatal hernia repair and I'm super tender on the.right side. Anyone have a similar experience?

Mine finally disappeared mid second week. I just walked and took gas x strips. I was scared to wear any type of body shapewear cause of my incisions.
