Whoo Hoo Ladies!! I was sleeved on the 26th of June and I'm down 30 lbs!! Feels great, but all my "tight" pants are too loose now lol!!

My clothes are way too loose as well! Finally had to give up and buy a few things for work or risk going back looking like I took a permanent dump in my back side. Went from 18/20 W to a 16 misses. The 14 W pants were too big from my legs. SOOO happy to be able to shop in the misses section again!

Yayay for us! Congrats to you all as well!!!! More happy roads are to come for us!

Ive had all kinds of energy since my surgery. Next day after stitches removed I made a 5 hour trip

I have hypo thyroid and I was sleeved on June 17 ad I have lost 37 pounds just in the first month!

I feel like that sometimes too. I'm 5 weeks post-op so I can't get much in but the first 3 weeks I kept picturing myself eating even though I wasn't able to eat.

I'm not on denial. I'm an RN And have been diagnosed with clinical depression many years ago. I see a therapist and I'm not bipolar. I go to the gym and work out the negative energy. I know these are forums and I'm not asking for professional help. I was just hoping that at least on this forum others could relate or give suggestions but I'm starting to get the feeling if I ask I get snarky comments and it's unecessary. We are here for reasons and those that were helpful thank you. Those who are snarky well maybe I'm not the only one with an issue. Just sayin...be helpful not hateful.

I told my husband I wanted to be sleeved. One year ago I picked up the phone and made my first appointment. I am now 6 months post op, down 86lbs. I started in size 22 pants and 3xl tops. I am now in size 14 pants and almost ready to move to L tops. What a great decision!

You look wonderful!!!!

Wow -70lbs...found the before picture today, now i see the difference

I had the attention span of a gnat anyways (I'm ADHD) but I do feel I'm even more forgetful than usual.....now what were we talking about??

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Just have a question.
I will be 6 weeks out on Monday. Physically I have been feeling great. Some days I still feel very tired and weak but everything seems good. I lost 4o pounds so far.
Since the surgery I have been feeling so moody. Mainly angry, defensive kind of mood. Today I completely lost it. A woman cut me in line and I totally flipped out on her after I politely told her she can't do that and she didn't care. We went into a full argument!
Normally I would ignore and move on but since surgery I just want to choke people for stupid things. Has anyone else felt this way???

Yea I have been moody, cranky, impatient etc... Im hoping its just these hormones I've been hearing about!

My youngest has told me I've been pretty crabby lately, but in reference to stupid people, like you encountered today, I just can't help myself but to set them straight & it has nothing to do with weight loss.

Maybe just buy 2 articles of clothes to make you feel good? I know it's not much but it can help for when you go out or something
Congrats!!!!!! This is def a good problem!!! Before it was we couldn't fit in anything! This def feels better

I really appreciate this thread. I'm 4 weeks out today and this week I've been so tired!! I'm getting in all my Water and 85-90 grams of Protein per day so I was starting to think something was wrong! Thank you for the reassurance that this is perfectly normal!!!

Anybody can wear fake up.. I don't wear it all the time I'm more of a lipgloss and mascara kind of girl

Thanks darling you're looking good yourself.. Are you at goal?

Finally I hit my first personal goal. I now weigh 211. Next goal 200!! Only 11 lbs away.

It will get better. It took me the better part of 6-7 weeks to finally feel like I didn't need a nap every day. I was struggling to get in enough calories and fluids mused with healing, I NEEDED a nap every day. Lol Now, at 11 weeks tomorrow, I still only get in 550-800 cals a day ( which is still liw)but I am definitely not as exhausted. Hang in there, it will get better!

If you were only at 200 cals a day a week ago that probably does have a lot to do with lack of energy. Getting enough liquids in? Now that your numbers (cals and grams) are going up energy should too.
