11 weeks out
Down 76 from starting weight, 70 since preop diet and 52 since surgery. Absolutely no issues. Never had pain or gas or reduce. I'm lucky. Dont really have a lot of restriction but I'm never hungry. I'm 6 foot 3 315 right now so I'm shooting for about 230 as my goal. Ill have to see how that looks on Mr and go from there. Feels weird saying that since I don't remember being as light ad I am now in 20 years. The sleeve is a blessing.

8 weeks post op
HW 391 PREOP DIET WEIGHT 385 SURGERY DATE 367 TODAY: 327 I guess im losing at alright pace, basically with preop diet its 60 pounds in 10 weeks. Always like to have more, but i guess beggers cant be choosey. No issues whatsoever, never had pain, no reflux or gas...was crazy easy. Can drink whatever i want and eat whatever i want...i have stuck to my diet, but know that eating is/will be easy...no cravings whatsoever and i dont see it being a problem sticking to it... What do you think? Am i on a good pace or am is slow loser?

5 week post op checkup
Preop start weight...385 Surgery weight.........367 5 weeks post op.......344 We always wanna move faster in the weightloss department but ill take 20ish pounds a month. Especially being that I just started walking exercising. Been smooth sailing, never took a pain pill outside of hospital, never had any naseau or vomiting. My pain was never more than a 1 after surgery. Went back to work 4 days after surgery. The new life is being good to me so far. Also never hungry, not even head hunger. I feel I'm one of the lucky ones.

I was sleeved on the 12th and have only went two times. I need advice on how to go more often lol. Liquids in but definitely not liquids out for me.

12 Days Post Op
Its funny, I'm on the liquid diet, which mine allows me cream Soups and puddings and jello...but honestly I have just been drinking 2 large Protein Drinks getting 60 grams of Protein off that and crystal light with unjury unflavored protein, getting around 80 grams a day of protein and way more than necessary. I'll have tomatoes Soup with skim milk or chicken broth once a day. Not craving any food at all. Can start puree on monday but as fast as I'm losing weight I'm not in a huge hurry. I can drink pretty much like I could before surgery. I don't guzzle, just take nice big sips pretty much constantly. Hope others are as successful as I have been so far. Keep waiting for a setback, hopefully it doesn't come.

Day 7 And Can Drink As Much As I Want
I agree with the quicker healing. Been getting 75 grams of protein easy a day and more than enough fluids. Just wanted to see if its normal or not. Not even craving the next stage really but I'm sure some food tastes will be good
-
Day 7 And Can Drink As Much As I Want
I can drink normal. No gas, no pain at all. I take sips pretty much but a lot bigger than I was expecting at this point. Anyone else like this? I can drink a shake in 30 to 40 minutes. Happy about it but thought I'd be feeling some restriction. No hunger ever though which is good and I've stuck with shakes and crystal light all week. Been satisfied.

How Muchcould You Drink Day 3 Post Op
I made some chicken broth and put a scoop of unjury unflavored protein powder in it. 20 grams of protein. It tastes good. I don't get a gurgling feeling or any restrictions, but I'm taking 5 or so sips every 5 minutes. Scared to over do it
