Sleeve 2/22/13 Not done yet. 40lbs to goal!

Here's a better one. I looked everywhere for a better before. I never liked to take pics, ever! SD 2/22/13 HW275 SW242 CW195 I've hit my first stall but that's ok. I know it's normal. Yay to all of us!!

Thank you!

Thanks!

sleeve 2/22/13 HW 274 SW 242 CW 195.5 GW 155 I wish I had more before pics. Ugh. I hated taking pics. All of you look amazing.

Had it at 4 weeks out. I had a hand roll no rice and sashimi. It went down really good. I was super full too. Some place make rolls wrapped with cucumber. Enjoy!

I've had popcorn and it went down just fine. I didnt have this surgery to ban foods from my life FOREVER. I did this to have control of my eating. 1 cup of popcorn for me isn't gonna ruin all of my amazing progress. It actually helped me stay on track. If I keep saying never Over and over to myself one day I will eat 15 cups of popcorn. The sleeve helps us with moderation and everything is ok in moderation. I make sure I have enough in my daily logging amounts for these treats. I now have discipline. There are much more worse things than popcorn.

I take a calcium plus VITD combined. That helps minimize how many I have to take a day. After breakfast: Multivitamin With lunch: 1 calcium with vitD 3pm B12 Dinner: calcium with vitD Before bed: Prilosec and BC Hope that helps.

12 weeks out down 43lbs. 74 total (31 lbs pre-op) 45 lbs to goal. Hopfully ???? will get there before 1 year anniversary.

Wow! Amazing job. You look great!!

I'm almost 9 weeks out and down 64 lbs. 32 before surgery and 32 since. I have about 55 lbs to go. You all look so amazing!!!

My dr says I need to wait 4 months for red meat. Does anyone know why? For those of you who do eat it, is it hard to swallow? How does it feel?

I will be 8 weeks in Friday and had a little kofta yesterday and Monday. It's a ground beef kabob. I am gonna wait till 4 months and not eat anymore red meat but it went down fine. I haven't had any revisions and no computations. Thank God. I eat everything else and I have a sleeve of steel. That's for sure. I would love a burger with a lettuce wrap. Mmmm!

7 weeks out and 27 lbs lost here. Try to stop weighing in. Hide that scale for a couple of weeks and focus on all the other things. best of luck to you and all of us.

Eat meals without taking 30-45 mins? Are we always gonna have to wait 2 minutes between each bite?

That's great to know! I get sick of reheating 2 or 3 times. Also, I can't sit with my family. I feel pressured to eat fast so I eat later.

Thinking and praying for you! I hope a speedy recovery.

Love this! Thanks. I really needed it.

I find a lot of great in home strength training on shape.com You can break up your workouts in 2. You will see results. I do 20 mins in the am and 20 mins in pm. Check out Pinterest for 20 min workouts. I break out into a good sweat. . Best of luck.

When can I safely rest assure that I'm not going to have and major or serious complications from this surgery? I'm 11 days out and always think about leaks and scary things like that. Is it weeks months years?

This is all awesome info. It is weird how all drs are different. I have my one month post op on the 28th. Will see what my dr says

That's good to know. I just want to breath easy. thanks

I feel amazing! %95 back to normal. Do all daily duties. It's night and day from 7 days ago!
