I think it's awesome, slow fast OR average! I've lost 12 in a month (still pre-op) and I'm STARVING!!! lol Like, it might actually be making me blind! Haha Just remember how hard it was to lose just 5lbs pre-sleeve. You're rockin it!!

Judgement! Table for 1!
Seriously.

I had surgery on Wednesday, February 20th this year. By Saturday the 23rd I had lost 15 pounds. I would think it is quite normal. However, I think it just depends on your body. Most people that are four weeks out like me have lost around 25 pounds, I believe (that is what I've heard when I ask). Yet, I have lost at least 32 when I checked on Sunday. I'm having a hard time getting everything in, so I know it's not because the diet. I am not able to get much pureed food down either.... so my soft diet will now be delayed.

I sleep on my sides, so I can usually sleep for about 4 hours before I have to get up to adjust the pain I feel in my hips. I do get up to pee in the middle of the night, but I'm not worried that sleeping through the night will cause a clot.

I'm walking a lot and will walk more with Fred in my heart. May God bless his family.

It just hits home in all the bad ways. I heard the news while recovering in the hosp. I don't usually cry for strangers, but I cried for him. Just so sad.

For ever!!! about 10-20 mins chew chew at least 25 times...

Good luck. I'm 4 days out and it hasn't been easy. It does get better everyday. You will do great.

So guys, best way to honor him is to do something he can't now...
Take an extra lap at the gym, play with your children, do something nice for your spouse, make a co-worker laugh, stick to your program being thankful you're alive and have this opportunity to do great things with your new healthier you!
Tragic, so young, yes - now rock your sleeve for Fred!

I farted yesterday about 3 hours after I got home. Swear I feel like a million bucks now comparatively!!!!!! Yeah for farts!!!!

I just got done doing cardio and was having some mild pain, was getting worried. Farted, and daggum I feel so much better. I usually try to hold them in while at work, but no stink no sound, no harm done.

It was glorious.

It was glorious.

My sharts stopped when I got on solid food. I seriously thought they were with me for life! The best advice I got was...never trust a fart! Saved many pants lol

It was glorious.

Deano gotta jump in conversation for a second
i've led a sheltered life, i never heard the word "sharted"
just looked it up

Ok, back to BigFatLoser, sorry for the brief -hi-jacking
referring to "her" fart !!!!!

It was glorious.

Hahaha!!! Good for you, doll.

It was glorious.

My surgery is also tomorrow. Saying goodbye to eating as I have known it has been very difficult for me. Not so scared of pain.

I'm walking a lot and will walk more with Fred in my heart. May God bless his family.

I knew I was onto something.

Showered and ready to go. Prayers and love to all I you today. Fast healing, successful journey, healthy life.
