Hello Fellow Sleevers,
I was sleeved exactly one month ago on June 13th. I was one of the fortunate ones because this whole process has been a breeze. I have lost a total of 50 lbs so far. I lost 25 lbs on my two month pre op diet, and the other 25 lbs since my surgery. I have been very happy with the results. I was lucky because I have not been sick at all. I was weak and tired for the first couple of weeks, but when I started eating foods on week three, I felt normal again. I never did suffer with nausea to speak of. Maybe a little queesy here or there, but it went away very shortly thereafter. I can take my fish oil pills, and can at a whole cup of pinapple and cottage cheese. I have had no problem getting in my Protein, and liquids. I love this sleeve. I recommend it for anyone who is desparate to lose weight, and is morbidly obese. It is a radical change, but its worth it to save your life and quality of life. I felt almost no pain after surgery either. May mild cramps for a week or two, off and on. I had pills for that, but only took for the first week.. I honesty could have done without them altogether. I'm so happy to be sleeved!

I'm dreaming of that day! My doctor told me that I can start having soft fish on Wednesday, so I have been consuming my days of thinking about "what kind of fish I want and where shall I get it from".. Wednesday can not get here any sooner!

I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring in about 5 months because it started getting too big. I took it in today to be resized. It is going from a 7-1/4 to a 6!!!!! I am shrinking all over

I'm 5 weeks out and just started to sleep on my stomach. I was too scared to sleep on my stomach any earlier because I was afraid the weight of my body would pop the stitches inside open or something, I know kind of silly, but it felt like it was too much pressure inside when I did.
