Congrats!

Thanks!

My surgery was May 7th: Heaviest weight: 392 Surgery weight: 365 As of today: 296 And I feel good! I'm losing about 2-4 lbs a week.

I took off the full 6 weeks. I work in a pediatric office that is really busy and I have to do a lot of lifting and bending.

Well, I'm down to 312 as of Monday. I only weigh myself every Monday at work. I don't own a scale at home and don't plan to buy one yet. Thanks for asking. What about you?

Oh and thanks Chas74

Chas74 I got it from American Medical ID online. I paid like $55 for it, plus I can make it go with everything for a cheaper price

I got mine last week and it says: VSG No blind NG No NSAIDS Excuse the ashy arm! Lol!

I had a 2 week liquid diet. Protein shakes, broth, sugar free jello and vitamin water.

My surgery was May 7th Start weight: 389 Surgery weight: 354 Current weight: 330

Yes you are! Sending prayers out

It's a nasogastric tube and it can't be used because it could puncture your stomach.

Just tell them you want a bag of crushed ice. Here in St. Louis it is $1.70

Yes, the crushed ice from Sonics has saved me along with freeze pops. I go through a bag in 2.5 days almost.

I started today

I'm planning on going

Just left post-op appt., down 8lbs in 6 days, I have advanced to Phase 2 which means I can have mashed/boiled potato, cream of wheat, Greek yogurt, soft scrambled egg, cottage cheese, etc and I'll be on this for 3 weeks. Dr said I look great, incision healing wonderful and keep up the good work. I am so excited, I'm going for a walk. Start weight and heaviest was in December-384 Before surgery-354 Today-346

Hi! I was sleeves May 7th at DePaul with Dr. Morales. My whole process so far has been wonderful. I go today for my 1 week f/u. So excited. This is something I won't regret.

Had surgery on the 7th, came home yesterday. Dr. Morales said I did great. I stuck to my pre-op diet. I'm sore but, I'm up and walking. Haven't had to take any pain meds. They took my pump out yesterday before I left the hospital.

Well, Im at the hospital, my IV started and waiting for surgery. Had prayer and ready.

Ok, May 7th sleevers, are you ready? I am! I have to be at the hospital at 7am and surgery at 8:30. This was a tough 2 week liquid diet, but I made it. I know it will pay off in the long run. All prayers going up for all.
