I am 82 pounds down since surgery date. 232 surgery to 150 pounds as of 5/13/13 am now I'm pregnant at 10 weeks and still losing a lot. I'm eating good too and not dieting but I've lost 13 pounds in 2 months since finding out I'm preggys. hope this is normal.

I was sleeved on sep. 7th, 2013 sw: 232 pounds cw: 153 pounds gw: 130-135 pounds I've lost 80 pounds in 7 months!! I feel amazing! But... I just found out my pregnant with my first child and I am excited as well as nervous because I don't know if my eating habits will affect my pregnancy! if anyone has advice or tips, please let me know!

Hello, I was sleeved on Sep.7th, 2013. I am 7 months post-op and have gone down from 232 pounds to 153 pounds that's 80pounds since surgery. This Sunday I found out I'm pregnant and eventho I'm excited I'm also very concerned since I can't eat enough for one person let alone another human being. I also have struggled with my water intake and protein. But anyways... I have questions for anyone who has been sleeved and been pregnant! can u share with me your experience, your struggles, the weight gain, the weight loss after birth, was it easy was it hard... etc... Thankyou!!!

its been a little over a week since my 6 month Post op! My surgery weigh in: 232 surgery date: 9/07/2012 Today I weigh: 158 pounds!!! that's over 70 pounds lost! I'm so proud of myself! I was at a stall for nearly a month, I was exhausted but I finally have a huge smile on my pretty face. :-D

I was the complete opposite. After surgery, (6 months ago) I got soooo full with just a sip of water. Once I was able to switch to puree, yes u get even fuller. But fluids NORMALLY don't make u full because its not thick and it doesn't take a long time to pass thru ur stomach.

update: I've been in a 3 weeks stall!! surgery weight: 232 on 9/07/2012 current weight: 165 on 2/26/2013 I'm almost 70 down, but I know I need to spend up my cardio! have u guys gone back on your liquid diets? let me know if it works and what what you guys do to avoid temptations! Thankyou!!

I have no regrets! I should have done it sooner. But those feelings are part of the process and remember that that was also an addiction.

Hello Ms. okay, ummm... I want to be very honest as you have been.. You are known for eating a lot and not caring if you're thin or not. You are unsure if you want to have surgery------> I think you might need to talk to your surgeon and reschedule your surgery date for another day. You need to think long and hard if this is what you want. Let me tell you there is not one person here that has regretted this amazing new lifestyle, but I agree with you, if this isn't what you want, PLEASE don't make the mistake of going thru with it. Here's what I deal with: protein shakes, 2-4oz of food! compared to the full entree, I used to eat. I still get embarrased when my bf and I go out to eat because he's still eating and I'm done eating haha, also; there are a lot of food restrictions your body will not tolerate. For example for me: boiled/steamed veggies, any meat, and; rice, pastas, breads! within months we'll be able to eat these foods, but I'm choosing to be vegan as for I just decided I didn't need to eat meat. see what I mean, and a lot of us any like this!! So make sure you do it for you and not your parents! best of luck!!!

CONGRATS!!!! its hard at first, but give it 2 weeks and you'll be good as new! I'm happy for you! you're finally going to be much healthier; physically and mentally!

I'm at a stall!!!! I've been there for nearly 3 weeks now! Help!! I'm down 60 pounds. sleeved: 9/7/2012 at: 232 pounds now: 173 pounds

Hello! soy products are honestly not bad at all! although I can say that I don't like soy milk. Since surgery, my sleeve has rejected anything that's not raw green and veggies. Even certain veggies I can't have, like brocolli unless its eaten raw. I love tofu,its my substitution for meat and a great Protein source. But other than this, I eat plenty of hearty salads and if you're creative enough with your plate, you should be just fine!

Hello Sleevers, I was sleeved on Sep. 7th 2012 and I have since dropped 60 pounds. I have been very blessed with my transformation physically and mentally! I have gained so much confidence and I don't drag going jean shopping. haha, but there are a few things as many of you probably go through as well- I am addicted to weighing myself every darn day and I'm counting calories to the extreme and I HATE BEING LIKE THIS! I freak out if I go over 700 calories per day. Since surgery, I can't chew down meat and I can't eat breads, pastas, rice or anything doughy! haha, I've lost hope in controling my addiction so, I have decided to try the vegan lifestyle and be mentally healthy as my priority. Is there anyone out there who has maybe felt the same way as I have? and if so, maybe hint out some advice. Thanks guys!!

update my SleevedBears: I was 180 3 days ago and I FINALLY met my xmas goal, 178 this morning!! woo-hoo!!!!!! :-D

anything sweet will not go make the tummy feel good. its too heavy and you'll get the slimes. slimes: when you get acid reflex and need to spit saliva and/or throw up!
