Sleeved 8/14 went from an 18/20 now a 16 some 14s depending on cut. Weight down from 224 to 198. Diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol meds all gone two weeks ago! Never felt better, I'm even noticing a difference in my work out clothes...using spandex type pants and rocking them!!!

I would say go for it as soon as you can. I'm 9 weeks post op and very happy. Never experienced pain other than gas pain and that resolved itself quickly. So in my opinion, go for it! Best wishes to you.

What a great way to think like that. Doesn't seem like I've lost 30%.

It's true CO, it's easier said than done. You'd think with a smaller belly, our weight loss would be greater, but nope not the case with me! Oh we'll patience was never a virtue for me!

I am curious and a little worried at the same time. I was sleeved on 8/14 and to date I've lost 25 lbs. I know everyone is different, but I feel my weight loss has been slow going in comparison to other people on this forum. When I started this weight loss process, I weighed 224 and now 199. Am I going to be a slow loser or am I doing something wrong? I don't want to waste my honeymoon stage. . Down and depressed.

Sleeved: 8/14/12 Start weight: 224 Weight today: 197 What you eating and how much daily: some soft foods due to the fact that its easier at work (I teach and don't have much time to eat). Daily work out: not as much as I want but doing some resistance and some light cardio How hungery are you?: not too much and when I am, by the time I fix something to eat, my appetite goes away. How you feel physically: great, like I've never had surgery. How you feel emotionally: emotionally sound Are you glad you chose the sleeve?: definitely! No regrets! Anything extra to say?: wish I could lose more a little faster but I'm patient!

Me too! I get an occasional twang in my stomach from eating something new but typically not.

I am now 8 weeks post op and couldn't be happier. My doctor was/is amazing, and has a very supportive staff too. I did not experience any kind of pain or set backs either. Go for it!

Me too! Join my club!

That's me too! Just took a lot of big clothes out of the closet! Boy did that feel good!!

Please tell us what you've done. I was sleeved close to the same time you were 8/14 and was a tight 18 and now a comfortable 16 in some pants. I feel it's slow going. Please share what you're doing....maybe I'm doing something wrong or not enough.

I just got approved to eat salad and raw veggies too. I believe we got sleeved on the same day. Doctor said to take it slow and listen to my body,

I just have to dance, scream, and yell I hit onederland!!!! I'm so besides myself! Date of Surgery 224 Today 198 Priceless!

What is your secret? What foods are you eating for your meals?

I still get some irritation even 6 weeks post op, but the problem is that I'm sensitive to the glue on band aids and surgical tape. So glad that part is over.

Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post op and have noticed that when it's time for me to eat my meal, I can't. It's almost as if my stomach closes up. I have to eat a yogurt of some sort or something light as in creamy like pudding or cheese. Is this normal? Also I'm noticing less and less what intake. I don't mean to. Why is it that I'm starting to not eat or drink when early on, I was able to? Going to see doc next week Wed. but curious of these new findings.

I've tried all three and I was fine. I was worried about the bread though. I think it was more psychological than anything, but I try to stay away. When I ate it I had no choice...it was try to eat that or nothing for a very long time. I took a. Ery long time to eat it.

I'm curious. For those that have lost a bit of weight, did your feet shrink in shoe size? I. Wondering because mine got bigger through pregnancy, I'm wondering if they will go down with weight loss. I don't want to get shoes for the fall only to discover my feet are too small for the shoes/boots.

Best wishes to you. Welcome to your new and improved life!
