three months out and not a single problem... i'm 28 years old, had surgery on tuesday and was back at work on Saturday morning. The only problems i've come across is head hunger and thats something that i'll just have to take one day at a time and deal with it.

Awesome girl !!!!!

I dont know where I would be without it!

Awww thanks Cat .... In time you will become an expert and be able to help others.

Awesome

I think you both really need to talk to a professional before you have this surgery. You both seem to really have the wrong perception about what you are about to do.

still lmao @ this one

i made my 5 weeks Tuesday and I'm down 47lbs ( including pre op of course)

its like i'm so excited to go to my next dr's appt to get on the scale. I love seeing the other patients who were sleeved the same time as me.... the dr's office i go to has such an awesome support system!! time sure does fly because it feels like yesterday I was creating my username and password for here trying to find out info on being sleeved.

I'm not too worried about that' date=' quite honestly. The doctors found a lemon sized brain tumor in my noggin almost four years ago. It was then that I found out who my friends were, I figured out who made me more unhappy than happy and I eliminated anyone who caused me unwanted stress without looking back. It was also during that very scary time that I decided that I would NEVER EVER let someone else's opinion matter to me unless THEY mattered to me.

I am SO MUCH HAPPIER now. I dare say that lemon was the best thing that every happened to me.[/quote']

Awesome !!! If you've concerned that then girl this will be a breeze

Also aussie's bluntness is also another lesson to be learned ... Ppl in our daily lives have become so accustomed to us being the "fat" friend it's a eye opener when we start getting into their group ... Some won't like it very much

Yup' date=' you are right. But it's still bizarre to me to be singled out on, what to me, was such a positive post, only to have it twisted around to being told I need professional help by someone who knows nothing about me.

It's all good. Other people's opinions about me stopped bothering me a long long time ago. THANK GOODNESS![/quote']

Lipstick lady you will do great and we are all here to lean on. I'm not going to lie the temptation is super hard but there are three sayings I say to myself everyday

-Nothing taste as good as skinny feels

-a minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips

-I know what it taste like and one day when I've proven myself ill taste it again (yes in moderation)

I have not broken my diet yet but many ppl that I have talked to said their fav foods don't taste the same after eatting healthy for 6 months

Aussie I was sleeved on 3-19-13 & couldn't be happier with my decision

Absolutely, you know your body the best.

I was only able to because I knew I was going to have the surgery and I would then be able to control my urges

I personally ate my bootie off!!!! For me it was the only time I could honestly guilt free eat what I wanted and how much I wanted. I now have the frame of mind that Humm ill eat it again some day so it's no big deal. Also my last and final binge reminded me of how much I could and would eat on a normal basis. It was my final confirmation that this was my only option to save my life.

I'm 5 weeks out and on week 3 started a stall that lasted 11 days !!!!! Finally seeing numbers start dropping again.... If your uncomfortable with your dirt go back to the basics and be sure to get all of your Water in.

Same to you!! Thanks It's nice to know that I'm not alone, I know that everyone has stalls like this. I sure do hate it for everyone though, it sucks to have to go through it. God is apparently teaching me patience which I have never had much of.

I'm the exact same here.... made 4 weeks Tuesday and for 10 days now i've been toggling between those three pounds.... I have an appt with my NUT today and hopefully we can talk about fixing this problem.... good luck to you both and i'll let you know the outcome of my appt today

United Heath Care covered NOTHING for me ... payed all out of pocket!!!

awesome!!!!! can't wait to get where your at!!! thanks for the motivation...

it was extremely hard for me at first because i had no desire but just sip slowly all day. I found it a lot easier to do broth as hot as i could stand it... went down way better than the cold stuff. 4 weeks post op & life is much easier!!!! good luck

I'm kidding of course.... Just frustrated. I shouldn't be, but I am.

I am 30 days out tomorrow from being sleeved. I've lost a total of 22 lbs post sleeve. My scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks though!!!

I have no right to be upset.... Just tired of getting on the scale in hopes of seeing it move in be right direction but it won't! I'm doing everything to the letter and I'm beginning to get discouraged. I've been tracking my calories every day... Staying right at or just below my calorie budget. I'm getting a decent amount of fluids in (not quite up to 64 oz yet), AND I've been taking the dogs on nice walks every evening!

I'm not looking for major poundage everyday either.... I would be happy if it was only ounces... As long as it was moving!

(sigh)

I've already had all the rational talks with myself about how I'm only 4 weeks out.... And I need to give my body a chance... Blah Blah Blah... I think its everyone at work who have been my cheerleaders thru all of this whenever they see me asking me how many pounds I've lost.... Its so hard to answer them with the same # as it was 2 weeks ago.

Anyway.... I just needed to get that off of my chest. I need to break this stall one way or another!!

Sent from my SGH-T679 using VST

I was feeling the same way!!!! I took a recent side picture of myself and compared the two and omg ..... the scale wasn't moving but it looked like inches have been.... Hang in there and just always remember your not gaining!!!

Best decision i've ever made... Congrats and good luck! i'm two weeks out and down 15 lbs since surgery and 37 total adding in loss from pre-op diet

Congrats to everyone newly sleeved! It's the beginning to a new very much improved life! I wish you guys a super fast recovery :-)

Thanks . Congrats on your success so far

Sleeved 3-19-13 feeling great Good amount of energy. Hard to get the Water in. I know it's still early but when will the weight start to come off ? Out of curiosity I got on the scale yesterday and exact same pre op ;( I know it was to soon but I'd of been excited with one pound lost
