  1. Check out the link a fellow sleeper posted. It's pretty accurate ! I always wondered the same thing when I was newly sleeved too!
  2. Not too far off according to the link you shared. My starting weight was 270 and I am now 195 so according to the link I am 15 lbs above weightloss for my starting weight woooo
  3. What's your average weightloss for 6 months?7-8-9 months etc . In a few days I will be 6months post op and -75lbs down since surgery. Wondering if my weightloss has been average? Fast? Just trying to compare to your journey as well to see what the average weightloss should be ! Thanks!

  27. Aw thanks everybody! We are so excited! He waited till after my surgery almost 2 months after to propose so he could do it on vacation , my first time being able to enjoy my summer without pain. So that was great timing. I was 32 lbs down when he asked and feeling so much healthier . Glad he waited to do it now than before surgery
  28. Guys! I got engaged while on vacation! I had to share my excitement! I also am in the 230s again! Ahhhhhh what a great week!
  29. I wouldn't, it'll probably hurt you. Too early. Your main focus always should be protein protein protein. These early stages are very important for getting protein in, your healing and your body is getting very little compared to before. Make that your main focus and try it down the road.
  30. Awkward hmmmm...probably constant protein farts :-P ....nothing has been really akward...but people who don't know me ask well why didn't you just work out with a trainer first ? No crap like I didn't try that and everything else under the sun. Makes me wanna punch someone . Cause weightloss surgery is totally an easy way out says NO ONE who is going through it .
  31. Totally normal! It's the dreaded stall. I lost 11 lbs my first week...2nd week NOTHING. I WENT UP AND DOWN 1lb didn't lose until week 3... I'm almost to week 4 and down 21 lbs.
  32. So far I'm at 21 lbs! Wooo! Wednesday 7/27/16 will be exactly my 1 month post op! Hoping to lose a few more by then. I started at 270--- now I'm 249! What did you lose? I can now got back into American eagle jeans! I was so happy when I slipped these babies on yesterday!
  33. I start puréed food tomorrow, suggestions appreciated !
  34. My low bs episodes feel different now than they did when I had a normal stomach FYI
  35. Sounds like low blood sugar, this happens to me. I was sweating, shaking, collapsed on the floor. So now I carry tic tacs in my purse as a back up but I always try to carry a container of Powerade WITH sugar, I drink 2-5 oz and I feel back to normal. Try to split your protein up and have some in the beginning middle and end of day so you can keep your blood sugar consistent. Helped me so much!
