I don't like it....looks like its time to deal with my food issues that have not gone away....my personal goal is 150 and I hope to achieve this through improving my fitness level. I would love to jump back into running races again....we I get o onederland I plan to reward myself with a 10k....I'm excited!!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

We r sleeved the same day...u look amazing....I am down 40 lbs from surgery...56 from highest ....February 27 was one of the best days of our lives!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

Omg, our stats are extremely similar.....my birthday is in August, I was sleeved on 2/27, I started at 267, preop I was at 251, and I also have a sleeve of steel.....lol....I am down to 219, but we can do this!!!!! The only thing that's different is you can drink Protein shakes...I can't....I tried again last week and lost it...I believe the whey gets to my sleeve... Don't worry...we will be fine!!!!

Sleeved on 2/27and I an down 48 lbs......feels good....but I have to be honest....my eating needs adjusting...if I want to meet my goal, my inner fat girl needs to go away!... I eat a lot of calories and workout 4 days a week...I plan to step up the quality of my calories for optimum progress in may!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

This is very sad....I feel horrible....Fred and I were sleeved on the same day.....he was a great support....as I sit here in the hospital whining about a little complication, I feel really stupid.....I send my condolences out to his family. Sent from my iPad using VST

Actually, I am not shocked but my friends that struggle with weight have been....different....counting there calories in front of me....telling me how little they are eating....inspecting my body everytime I see them.....it is a little weird....it feels like a competition.. Unfortunately, one that no one will win because I am only 3 weeks out and have lost over 35 lbs due to a slight complication. I don't want this to be a competition but I see this going south....fast I am only about 2 and 3 sizes away from them and I am afraid when I am no longer the "biggest", it will be different....is there something I should do or say now...this is my closest group of friends on the daily and I would hate to change our relationship.

Reading this thread has been very good for me......I hope the op has found some relief since January. I am 3 weeks out and not. Holding down water. Vomiting bile and blood has increased and I plan to go to doctors today when my husband drops off the kids at school. I was gonna wait until Monday, my doctor was concerned at our visit Monday, but the blood and bile has increased and I am not gonna sit here and suffer for nothing. I also can't sleep so thoughts of how it sucks that others are returning to work and feeling great sort of depresses me. It reminds me that I am not normal and I never dreamed I could be the one to have complications. I think it is very important that everyone going into this know this surgery is fantastic....when there are no complications......and if you haves it back for the ride. I will figure this out and deal with it, but I can honestly say I would have not ever done this had I really thought about the complications. I barely move from my bed, my husband is lonely because I am basically a vegetable, my kids miss there mother and how I am supposed to return to work in 2 weeks beats me. My biggest hope is in 2 months I will look back on this post and laugh at myself for being a whiner. .....hopefully Sent from my iPad using VST
