Thanks everyone. I'm so proud of my weight loss. I tell everybody about my sleeve!!! I wish I'd done this 10 years ago.

The gurgling is my body's signal that I'm full. Don't worry about it. You could be farting instead!! Lol.

After being stalled for weeks I finally cracked 160 today!!! 30lbs to goal and, hopefully, personal trainer will get me there by my birthday in January. I've lost 65lbs in less than 5 months and need loads of new clothes. Down from 2x shirts and size 22 pants to medium and size 12. Oh happy day!!!!

If taking a pill is the issue with Imodium, they do a soluble one. It dissolves in your mouth like b12 pills and works!!

4 and 1/2 hours. Loads of adhesions and my poor hubby was at home panicking because he wasn't with me. I was in Tijuana. He aged about 20 years. And it was my 3 month survive rosary yesterday. 50lbs down so far!

I have artificial femoral arteries and can only sit in recliners because otherwise the 90 degree angle in an ordinary chair would cause clots. And sitting in any chair for too long could cause DVT's!!

I forget too and each time I remember just as I'm guzzling the last dregs of my water. Pooh the pain is awful. One of these days I'll learn that lesson! Lol.

I had an NSV yesterday. I bought size 14 jeans and they fit like a glove!!! Pre-op I was wearing tight size 20's. I love clothes shopping now, but to save money since I'm changing sizes so much, I've been going to thrift stores and outlets. Even my feet are smaller!!! I don't have to look for wide fittings now. These last 3 months have been amazing!!!!!

Hi guys. I'm 11 weeks post op and had an uneventful recovery. I had some routine tests done for my pcp and urine test showed high protein. Was wondering if anybody else had this issue. Dr says its probably not about the high protein diet but I'm concerned that it could be.

I'm 10 weeks after my sleeve and the first place I noticed loss was my feet. Shoes that fitted pre surgery were loose and I went and bought new shoes and didn't have to buy a wide fitting. My feet measure half a size smaller than they used to as well. Not sure if its the fact that I'm not carrying the 40lbs I've lost and therefore less pressure on my feet or if they've truly lost weight.

I bought size 14 Capri pants today instead of my usual size 20 and a medium top instead of 1X! Walked out of the shop with a big smile on my face!!!

I'm 2 1/2 months out too. Lost 38lbs since pre-op diet but stalled on weight loss for 6 weeks. BUT ....... Jeans that didn't fit 6 weeks ago are now falling down! I'm obsessed with the scale, I weigh every morning, but realise that it's those NSV's which are just as important as the numbers.

Mine is 6 weeks so far. But I'm still losing inches!!!

Sleeved 28/5 and I get the gurgles too. It's my signal that I'm full, that I chugged my water too quickly and also that I am developing gas. I've learned to read what each gurgle means. It's almost like Siobhan Sleeve is chatting to me. Lol. You get used to it.

And it's good for my hubby too off we share. He's lost about 5 lbs!
