One day at a time and before you know it you start noticing big gains in your progress. Just stick to your plan and you will do fine. Good luck

I had my sleeve 1/9/2013, I have lost 30lbs post op; pre-op I lost about 38 to 40 lbs. My weight prior to starting the vertical sleeve journey was 326 lbs, I am 5 weeks post op today and my weight is 254 lbs! !!!!

I used to be the one that was never cold, but not anymore. I am the cold one. My surgery date was 1/09/2013, I've lost 30 lbs. Went from 44-46 waist to about a 38-40.

I was sleeved on the 9th of Jan, I was back to work in two weeks, I've had zero problems,I've lost a total of 24lbs in 23 days.

I would look into going to support meetings with people who have had some kind of bariatric surgery

I started this last wed. on puree'd food and I have no problems, I poach talipia and my vegetables in beef broth and some creole seasoning and then blend it up. It doesn't look very appetitizing but it taste great.

My surgery was the 9th of Jan, my weight on that day was 284, as of 25 Jan I weighed 266, down 18lbs

I had my surgery on 1/9/2013, I feel great no problems keeping things down still on full liquids. In morning I have breakfasts shake, chocolate, vanilla and apricot pineapple. For my snack I make jello with whey protein (sugar free) you can get small 4 oz containers. So you get some protein with your snacks. Lunch and dinner I have two soups I eat. I have lost almost 20lbs, over 1" in my waist and that's just a guess; probably more. Any advice I can give someone is to follow your plan and take it slow.

My surgeon is Dr nelson

Dicharged from the hospital, all is good I feel great. I had my surgery in Norman, Oklahoma

Make sure everyone drink enough fluid

Finished my blue ice, they cleared me to eat, chicken broth one small 30ml cup, 3 cups have taken an hour and a half [ATTACH]7991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]7991[/ATTACH]

Good luck to all, I will post more in the future. The nurses will be giving me blue ice this morning which will tell if there is a leak along the staple line

Good luck as well.

My surgeon had to fix a hiatal (think I spelled that right) hernia as well. They are going to give me blue ice this morning, to ensure my stomach has no leaks and hopefully I will have my foley removed as well.
