I'm 5 weeks out and not do for my period until next week however about 4-5 days ago I started cramping at first I thought my period was going to be early but its not so idk if any of you experienced this??

I'm at week 5 and I've stayed the same for a week no gain or loss. As long as I'm not gaining I'm not mad. I've lost 33 lbs so far plus I've been walking so maybe that's why idk .

I was always a little over weight then I became anorexic in high school and got really sick my bones in my spine started deteriorating I was not taking Vitamins either. Doctors told me I needed to start eating so I did but not much the. I got pregnant and gained 90lbs I ate 3 meals a day but blew up I tried every diet and exercise I would loose 20-30 lbs then gain it back then I had another kid next thing I know I am 5'4 and weighed 325lbs!!! After 7 years I decided I could not live like that any longer my doctor recommended me for weight loss surgery and I chose the sleeve. Anyways I'm 4 weeks post op and I've lost 33lbs
:) the sleeve has been around for years it's part of the duel Dina switch. They use to use a bigger sleeve but now it's smaller docs realized people could loose weight with just the sleeve! My doc and the pulmonary doc both told me this would add years to my life as heart problems and diabetes run in my family. So I don't believe that it cuts off 18 years of your life.

I was sleeved may 1st and its been a rough road. I didn't like any Protein Shakes I tried a bunch and have plain Protein Powder added it to cream Soup and choked it down. Now I'm on puréed so I try to eat tuna eggs and cottage cheese and drink sugar free carnation Breakfast. I am hoping to come across a Protein Shake that I like. I can only eat 3-4 bites at a time then am full for hrs. I did miss food at first and was miserable but now I'm use to it. I don't even crave chocolate for some reason I am craving a big fat turkey sub lol I'm nervous to eat regular food again Idk how my stomach will handle it. In the beginning I the puréed stage and even now every now and then I puke. I don't regret it though I've lost 30 lbs and look forward to keep loosing I also started walking I really want this weight off and feel good being 30 lbs lighter!!

I had my surgery in upstate NY and I didn't have a drain. Maybe during the surgery I did but never after.

I started at 325 before 9 day liquid diet I lost 7 lbs then had surgery may 1st and in two weeks lost 18lbs. I feel great. I just started on puréed and the first I ate was tuna fish I had 3 bites then felt sick but the next day I was able to eat cottage cheese and in the evening a scrambled egg. I have to eat slow and stop as soon as I'm full. Which is usually a couple bites.

My surgery was may 1st 2013 and I weighed 325lbs and I'm down to 299lbs in just 2weeks!!!

You are lucky getting all your Vitamins in I'm only getting them in once a day they gag me and make me puke in my mouth it's nasty. I hate chewables. I go to the doc today so ill find out what they have to say. I also tried that same French vanilla Protein and hated it. I just ordered sugar free carnation and I have plain injury to add to it. I can't find a shake that I like I tried a bunch and have spent a lot of money. I'm not getting all my protein in right now either. I'm not aloud to have puréed food until Wednesday and I can't wait!!!

Diet soda does bubble in your throat at first. Or of u drink it to fast u will puke. I'm bad and drink one small one a day. I hate coffee and everything else and I don't sleep good and have a daycare. So I need the caffeine.
