I'm down only 27 pounds in 2 months. I think maybe I need to up may calories since most days I fall short of the 800 my nut said i should consume. I always get my Protein in mostly through shakes and usually get in my 60 of Water. The slow pace is allowing my skin to kind of rebound, but I was hoping for a bigger loss at the two month mark. Also, outside of a little walking I have not begun to exercise (having some issues with arthritis in my knees) but I begin physical therapy for my knees this week, hopefully that will ease some of the discomfort and allow me to exercise on a regular basis.

I have knee problems too, however I started water aerobics at least once a week, sometimes twice when work doesn't get in the way. I have arthritis and bursitis in both knees, it's not easy but the water does help

Decembersleever, How are you getting your exercise in? I've been in terribly pain for a couple of weeks now!

When were you sleeved...I was in pain for 5 weeks and didn't get any excercise in, just slept as much as possible. Now that I am back at work I walk during my break, and try to do Kinnect at home on the weekends

Dr appt wednesday..Thanks everyone

I was sleeved on 12/ 14 and had severe pain for a few weeks (I missed Christmas). I still have pain on my right side however now I am more functional. I was in so much pain I fell Asleep in a rocking chair.

Percoet seemed to make it worse after it wore off, so I used a heating pad to relieve some of the pain and liquid tylenol. I used gas x to help relieve the pain as well. Hope this helps. Lee

Hello all my 40's peeps. I was sleeved on 12/14/12 and am having a tough time recovering, however it seems to be getting better. I have good days and bad days. I go back to work next Monday, not looking forward to it.

Does anyone have any pointers for a speedy recovery. My specific issue is pain in my right side under my ribs. It is a sharp stabbing pain and only occurs when I turn or bend.

On a brighter side I have lost 20lbs and my I am able to eat small amounts of food throughout the day. 2013 will definitely be a better year for me.

Thanks for all your support Lee

I am 12 days out. I am still not able to sleep on my sides. Laying on your back hurts. I am sleeping in a recliner.

I was 16 days out, I had terrible side pain it felt like broken ribs. Finally I bought a heating pad and took more gas x this seemed to help. When I started taking probotics the pain was less painful. I was also sleeping in a recliner for awhile, now I am sleeping on the futon and still have some pain, but can sleep on my side. I called my doc and he said it will just take time, so I am still waiting. Good luck hopefully you feel better soon.

Hi December Sleevers...I just found a site to track my food and excercise...It's great and lets me stay on track for the amount of Protein I still need to eat. www.fitclick.com...just another tool for success. Hope you enjoy!!!

I was sleeved on 12/14 and am down 20lbs

I have had terrible pain in my right side the last few weeks, but hope it will go away and my weight loss will continue.
