Most of the post here are from people who were sleeved July of 2013, I just didn't want you to think you have not lost like everyone else. Sounds like you are off to a great start!

I'm not staying but I wanted to share my before/ during pic as I am a July sleever myself, July 17, 2013. Highest ever weight: 315 Weight at start of preop diet: 299.8 Surgery day weight: 281.2 Current Weight: 193.4 You are going to love it! Follow all your doctor's orders, and workout! Good luck!

Yes I want to see you, how much have you lost? Congratulations!

Big changes are very exciting! [ATTACH]43264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43265[/ATTACH]

Onederland! Finally! Yay, I got here on my 46th birthday, also have lost over 100lbs now!

Y'all both look fantastic! Bravo!

I think you will be ok, the air and ice (water) would thin out the shake and it probably just went straight through. This is why we are to avoid ice cream and milkshakes. You only had 4 ozs of milk with one scoop of protein so I would not worry unless you start hurting.

Wow! That is fantastic! I was sleeved on July 17th and I'm not there yet.

Dr. Scott is nothing short if amazing! My 3rd favorite man behind my husband and my grandson! :-)

Just take it slow and easy, try you best to get your protein in, and your water ( you will not get it all in at first). It's going to be sore getting up obviously you know that. Sleeping in a recliner helped me. Walking also helped. Keep your eye on the prize! It's a great journey! I was 281.2 on surgery day, today I am 211! Good luck!

Dr. Scott did my surgery too! I'm in Rockmart, GA. I was sleeved on 7/17/2013.

Checking in again high weight(2/27/13- day started pre-op diet): 299.8 Day of surgery (7/17/13): 281.2 Current weight: 212.6 I fit into size 12 Levis! I also still have my boobs! Yay have gone from a 44 DDD to a tight 38 H.

I take 20 pictures of various angles till I like it but last week this one was taken of me and I was not mortified at the results. Me and my Grandson, I'll be 46 in March! [ATTACH]40346[/ATTACH]

I keep it from no one, I'm proud of myself for finally doing something for me! Good luck to you! I hope you much success. I regret nothing!

I didn't have one, the do fill it with air and your abdomen with saline solution to check for leaks before they close you up. Please don't worry.

Surgery date 7/17/2013 HW: 299.8 SW: 281.2 CW: 225.0 74.8lbs total loss! I am happy with my results so far! In a size 14 jeans and they are loose!

Surgery date 7/17/201 HW : 299.8 Day of surgery: 281.2 Today: 231.4 49.8 lbs since surgery, 68.4lbs total. [ATTACH]20603[/ATTACH]

Oops, I'm 3 1/2 months post surgery.

This was 3 ozs of deer tenderloin with bar-b-que sauce and 2tablespoons of French cut green Beans. [ATTACH]20346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]20347[/ATTACH]

That is great! I have a question was that 62 lbs since surgery or from the start of the per op diet?

That makes me think I'm eating to much. I am allowed 4ozs. at a time and I eat 5 times a day. It's usualy 3ozs of lean protien and 1oz of a vegies maybe with some fat free cheese, or greek yogurt, or 3 ozs of low fat cottage cheese with a little fruit. In a usual day I eat at 7am, 10:30, 1;00, 4:00, and 7:00. I am managing to keep my protien at 72 grams or higher and my calorie intake to between 550- 650 a day. I workout 5 days a week, 20-30minutes cartio and 30 minutes weights. I am 3 months and 5 days post op, down 45.8 lbs since surgery, 64.4 since I started the pre op diet and feeling great!

Wow all doctors are different. I left the hospital already on purred foods and chewable vitamins from 2 days post-op! He did have me wait 4 weeks to start my Calcium. I have never vomited post-op so far! I'm 3 months out from surgery as of tomorrow! Good luck!
