I am right there with you. I am 8 weeks post op and only down 35 pounds. I have went back to full liquids mixed with some Protein (meat) hoping that will kick in. I also have to kick up my cardio.

Today was my1st post op appointment. Down 16 lbs can move to next phase of diet MEAT!!! Yes!!!

I was sleeved yesterday. Nausea and gas keeps going and coming. But over all, I'm OK.

RIP Fred aka Lifesaveremt!! God bless your family through this difficult time!! Your strength and determination to change your life is and will be an inspiration to us all!! Blood clots are very serious!! They gave me meds for blood clotting and put sleeves around my legs to monitor blood clotting !! May God protect all of us!! Good luck to all sleevers this week and all March post op sleevers!!!

Sleeved on Wednesday, March 13th. 5th day after surgery. Feeling good overall. Gas comes and goes, heartburn starting to subside. Walked slowly on treadmill on Sunday. When I put the treadmill on an incline, feel some relief from gas and heartburn, so I'm going to try that. I'm taking one day at a time. Good luck to all this week sleevers and hope all my March post-op folks are doing OK. We are each other's support system and I thank all of you and this site for being there for me!!
This site is my new Facebook!!

@Kriss and Peacock Mama: I would love to do the Princess Half Marathon with you all.

Good luck to all my March 1st sleevers. I'll be praying for all of you a successful surgery and an even more successful and speedy recovery. I'm on Day 2 of pre-op liquid diet and its hard. I guess because I am just used to chewing so to not chew feels weird. I still get hungry though.

Kriss...omg! Im wanting to do the princess half marathon too! Never ran a day in my life (other than to get to the buffet line faster...haha!)
