Where did you have yours done and how are you doing?

I had mine done at des Peres hospital by dr. Minkin and im doing great!!!! How are you doing?

I'm 26 was sleeved on 8/9 and I'm from Illinois right across the river from st. Louis...

Hello fellow August sleevers... I hope everyone's journey is going well! Up until the last 4 days I was doing great, I've lost 25 lbs so far in my new way of living... but I appear to have stalled....already! I'm doing everything exactly by the book and even walking about an hour a night (about 5 days a week)... ugghhhhhhhhh

I know I need to just keep my chin up and it will get better soon...but I just needed a safe environment to gripe!

Happy losing everyone!

Thank you for your help everyone! I'm feeling better today and have gotten in about 20 grams of Protein so far (thank goodness for protein water!) I'm working really really hard on not weighing myself everyday, but it's so hard! I think I may ask my husband to start hiding the scale from me until I break the habit!

Hello all!!! I am ten days post-op today, and I am proud to say I am down 20 lbs!! My starting weight was 340. I have had an extremely easy journey so far, so I'm not sure if this is normal at all... Up until yesterday I was having no problems getting my Protein down and all of fluids. I started adding Soups on day 7. Yesterday morning I felt really shaky and queasy and tried to get a couple of ounces of protein down but I just couldn't do it. I felt so nauseated and yucky feeling. I managed to get down almost all of my Fluid (all 64 ozs of water). But this morning I had gained 0.4 lbs!!!!!!!!!

Is this normal?

I was the same way... Up until they took me back to the operating room I was questioning myself... I am only 10 days out but I have come to peace with my decision and couldn't be happier!

I did the exact same thing! I'm now 8 days post-op and have my recipes ready for a month from now hahaha... I'm trying to break the obsession but oddly enough have not cheated at all yet.

Just got started on mfp bdarden2010 add me please!

Thank you...

I was sleeved August 9th and feel great... Worried that my drinks and Water may be going down too easy? Not feeling hungry but also as long as I space out my shake over 30 mins it goes down great.... Could something be lose or not done right???
