Yippy! Celebrate with me because i have great news. I am officially below 200lbs! My surgery date was June 5th. My weight before starting the preop diet was 264lbs. Fast forward 4.5 months, today i am 198lbs! I feel amazing, this is the best thing I have ever done for "Me" in ny life and I would not go back for anything.

Yep. Slime is evil. Taught me that 1 bite too many has consequences

Remember guys no matter where u go there is an average 0.08% 30 day mortality rate. To put the number in context that is lower than the average deaths after having your gallbladder removed. This is a very safe procedure but there is still a chance or complication or death.

HW 264 SW 244 6-5-13 CW 220 I am losing about 1-2lbs per week now.

I am pretty new, I was sleeved on June 5th. So far I have lost 22 lbs at the 6 week mark. I seem to be losing about 2 lbs a week now. I am thrilled with this rate of loss.

I was sleeved on June 5th. I am down 22 pounds since my surgery day. I feel the same way as you, I think most do. I can tell when I have not gotten in enough protein and fluids. My body holds onto everything.

I have read that guys website articles that wrote the feed the muscle book. Very interesting stuff.

I had heparin shots every 8 hours up til discharge from the hospital. Every single one left an incredible bruise which after 2.5 weeks are still with me.

Probably lactose intolerant now and that may include the whey protien shakes. Talk to your NUT.

I changed into my yoga shorts and night shirt within 4 hours of surgery. Said to the nurse "you dont mind do you since I am going to be up walking" as I walked oit my door for my second lap around the floor. ((Grin))

OMG! I was laughing so hard I was crying. My husband kept saying what...what, tell me...I just handed the phone to him and said I cant. He read down a little ways and handed the phone back and said...no....lol. On a constructive note, it may also be you are becoming lactose intolerant now. just a thought with the cheese Soup.

ROFLMAO, sounds like a perfect time with the hubby to me!

Day 14!!!! Doing pretty good. Gas pains are gone and belching after I eat is my sign to stop eating immediately. I am getting my fluids in pretty well but I am so over the protein shakes!!! But I know I have to get them in so I keep trying. Yesterday I had my first real vomiting episode, out of the blue I got nauseas and hurled. After that I was fine and nothing was different so not really sure what I did wrong that my belly didnt like. I hope everyone is doing well, good job!
