Surgery weight 251..... Cw 206.... I am working out quite a bit and my body is changing...a lot... But i noticed I can eat more now. 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.

How yo doing jenn? Sent from my iPad using VST

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

I am exactly 2 weeks out and although I am still not tolerating anything other than ice chips...when I vomit, the violent it hurts everywhere vomit, this brownish,green yellow ick rolls out.....I hate to be this explicit but it looks exactly like a new infants poop that is breast feed....it is really gross...just trying to figure out where its coming from and when is it gonna stop....has anyone else experienced this?....please help Sent from my iPad using VST

I am sooo open...I have had intermittent sips for 0 minutes now and nothing has come back up....wow...I am a human being again!!!!!...whoot, whoot!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

I was sooo excited, I didn't check what I wrote. I am drinking Water and it's great. Super excited, I can feel progress..my restriction is super tight so I know I have to be careful. But right now now I am high on water!!!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

This is what I am holding on to....lol....seriously,trying to stay upbeat while I watch those come and go. I am about 60 lbs from this picture..btw....so ...nyway....I'm rambling on now.... Okay, I am still here because my sleeve is still so tight I can't hold anything without throwing it up. They will not release me if I can't hold liquids. I have tried Water, ice chips and sugar free Jello so far. It is all coming up in a froth. Has anyone experienced this and will my sleeve release me to at least ice chips....I gotta break outta this joint...lol....I feel just fine other wise. My dc did give me 2 pumps of steroids to open it up a bit...but I am not sure if it's working....any advice.....I think I am really anxious to start my new life. So excited.....has anyone else gone through this?...a little advice....thanks Sent from my iPad using VST

I am on day 3, still in the hospital because I am very swollen and not holding liquids so, they will keep me here on I've until that happens. I am very happy with that, I am in no rush to get home to get dehydrated so if they want to take care of me now, heyi will take it. I can't imagine being on full liquids, but wow, great to here u guys moving right along. I am just grateful to be on the losers bench...I truly did t think this would happen...so,so happy!!!!!!

Jennifer, I am 3 days out so obviously this only advice.......but from what I read stalls are real and your body is going through a transformation. Please try to be a little patience and I am sure it will move again. Also try measuring yourself....lots of subscribers says that is where the change happens.....good luck...30 lbs in a month...that is pretty awesome!!! Sent from my iPad using VST

Glad to see my other 2/27 is doing well.....I am jet beginning to feel like a human being again...dr. Says I am very tight and the nausea is serious. But all in all....I know next week brings a whole new world!!!! Sent from my iPad using VST
