I have one!! This week my NSV was wrapping a towel around myself with nothing showing!! Not a bath towel, but still an accomplishment to me!! And I upped my weights at the gym from 12.5 to 25.

You guys are looking great!! Keep up the good work, maybe we'll do this again in a month or two!!

Minus 57!!

I started at 281 on May 4. Surgery weigh in was 261 (pre op loss 20 lbs). Mt surgery date was 5/18/12 I'm now at 224!!! ????happy dance ????????

I had my sleeve May 18, so I'm roughly 2 months out AND minus 50lbs as of today!! I think I'll get myself a present.

I has my sleeve May 18 and am -46 lbs. I'm doing great, now. I had a stay in the hospital a couple of weeks ago due to severe dehydration. Anyway, I don't know how much you can tell by my profile pic but, here's a new pic.

It is very important to stay hydrated! I'm in the hospital right now!! I was so dehydrated my potassium level could have triggered a heart attack, luckily no liver/kidney damage. I have a central line in my neck because my veins are so bad. I came in Monday and won't get out til Thursday. Drink! Drink! Drink!

Thank you all so much. Since posting I have downed another bottle of water. My urine is slightly yellow but I don't go often as I think I should. In total I've had 2 and a half 16oz bottles today. I have 3 kids and as you can guess am extremely busy, it's ball season!! I am having such a hard time with exhaustion that I get depressed. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, it means a LOT!!

I am trying very hard to do my liquids but my mouth is sooo dry I can barely tolerate drinking anything. Everything turns my stomach. Yesterday was my first good day, I'm 3 weeks post. Today I'm exhausted. I wake up and my lips have to be peeled from my teeth. Because of this I am constantly drained of any energy. Any suggestions? All prayers welcomed.

I'm do glad you posted this question!! I have the SAME problem--probably worse!! I burp, gag, and spit constantly. This surgery has turned me into the most repulsive person!!

My sister and I were sleeved together on the 17th. She is hot on my heels at -30 and I'm -32. I've had some very hard days and still get down and out wondering if I made the right choice. I know it will pay off later, but dang it I'm hungry. I don't know of its mental or if I'm just sick of liquids!! We're on full liquids til June 24!

I was threatened with hospitalization Friday. I double my water and felt better almost instantly. I still haven't gotten to the Drs standard of liquid intake but I'm getting better. It is VERY important to get your liquids in!!!

I'm 2 weeks out from surgery. - 32 lbs (20 pre, 12 post). I think I may he at a standstill, but I can't help but wonder if this was the dumbest thing I've EVER done!! I began at 281, I'm on full liquids and having the worst time ever. Will I ever be able to enjoy anything to eat? Will I ever be normal. Sorry for the rant, I just really miss having a meal with the fam. ????

In the hospital the Dr kept my Bp unusually low. 110/57ish. It's back to normal now (11 days out) but I still have absolutely NO energy.

I'm on the full liquid and would really live some fruit. Any idea when I can have fruit? I'd love some watermelon!!! Just a bite or even the juice would e great.
