I'm 5 weeks out and have lost 26lbs which is 13% of my body weight. It looks like more when you figure it up that way. It's way easier to squeeze into my clothes! I've been given the green light to eat regular foods. I'm taking it slow just don't want to fall into bad habits. I've never gone 5 weeks without eating chips or drinking diet coke so I'm gonna see how long I can go without and try to break the habit all together.

I'm officially one month post op. I'm down 29 pounds including the pre op diet. I'm done with the liquid, pureed and soft food . Today I advance to the on going nutrition stage. Not going to lie I'm a little nervous. I feel like the chains are off but I'm afraid of running free, lol.
I'm really trying to be more structured with my meals. I called my NUT to ask about calorie intake and etc. She told me just to focus on Protein and fluids. I've struggled with protein because i can't tolerate the shakes. Hopefully that will change more that I'm eating food. I'm using MFP to track everything.
I'm curious to know what is your calorie intake for those one month out?

I am six weeks out today and get to go to regular food! Woohoo!

Your so funny!!

I understand.. I was just sleeved on 2/28 and sometimes find myself looking at the scale 2-3 times a day!

It's soooo hard for me to not weigh daily--- I want to see progress!!!! But--- I promised my self only on Wednesday so I won't get OCD. But it soooo hard!!! (Walking away from the scale now)

I haven't been under 200 lbs in over 10 yrs I almost cried. Sleeved 2/20
Highest weight 243
Pre op 215
Today 199.4 yeah

I hope not but I'm sure there will be some? Todays weigh in day...4# down for a total of 28# and 12# in 3 weeks. Not bad...I haven't seen 291 in 10 yrs!!! (:

I'm a little over 2 weeks out and I'm down 18lbs from my last dr visit back on jan. 30th. Dr said that I'm doing good and have exceeded expectations. I will weight myself on my scale tomorrow morning and track my own weight since I will not have a follow up again until 6 months out. I'm hoping to get down another 15lbs by my bday at the end of this month.

I defeinitely look for small daily Victories!
I focus on what I do accomplish each day.
Knowing that this will get easier as I'm getting
Better.
Congrats yall.
Pat yourselves on the back.

I'm 6 days post op and counting. I am starting to feel better especially after having a come to Jesus with my Dr and husband. Guess I'm like a kid, threaten to put me back in the hospital if I don't get with the program seemed to work great. I was having so much pain with drinking that I guess I didn't realize it but I had pretty much stopped drinking which soon lead to me being very confused and not really urinating. So I pulled my crayons out, made a chart as to when and how much of what to drink and feel so much better. It is even getting easier to drink. I'm so glad I put my big girl panties back on which may I add are a little looser since I have lost 13 lbs post op and a total of 20 lbs since my first weigh in.

I was starving dairy or no dairy, until I ate a piece of meat. It was the only thing that made me feel satisfied. Hang in there- real food is coming and in hindsight it was such a short time period. It just doesn't feel that way when you are going through it. It won't last forever and you will eat like a "normal" person again! Hang in there!

I am so glad I found this topic. I had my sleeve on the 28th, passed my leak test Friday morning and have been given the ok for 3 full days of Clear Liquids. Every time I drink anything so far it's only been water and apple juice I feel like I am swallowing nothing but air. I can feel it bubbling in me . Glad to see that this should pass in 5 days or so.

Thanks Hun so much!!! I am gonna try and keep pushing n praying thanks for lending your ear!

Doing good from surgery yesterday. Little sore at biggest Incision. Walked last night and I just got back. Had a hard time urinating but it finally came out. Just got my tray of Jello and broth. Totally wiped but I am so excited for all our new journeys. Xoxo

Had my sleeve yesterday !!!!! Had a rough night last night, didn't sleep very well & was crazy nauseous & threw up this morning. Got some new meds & pumped full of fluids & feel 70% better now. Walking around, waiting on my leak test so I can have some Clear Liquids. Hopefully smooth sailing from here on in congrats to all the other 27th sleevers & prayers for today's group!!

food luck and a speedy recovery all you 28ers!

I have my surgery today at 1pm cst. I'm pretty excited to start this new chapter in my life.... The one that I loose the weight and am able to keep it off. It's a real life visa commercial:
Flight to out of state Dr-$ $ $
Hotel and rental car for a week-$ $ $ $
Self pay wls-$$$$$$$$$$
Beating the weight loss game once and for all-----PRICELESS!!
Good luck to all who are getting sleeved today too!

I was sleeved on Monday the 25th! I came out of surgery by 10am and I was walking by 3pm! I am home now and I am having a lot more gas pain! The gas just rumbles around my chest an abdomen but I don't see a BM coming anytime soon, I'm just trying to walk it out! I've read that the first 5-7 days are the hardest so I'm just trying to push through! Stay strong and focused! Just think about 2-3 months down the road!!
Hope all is going well for y'all!!
