You shouldn't vomit with the sleeve. It means something is wrong.. You're either eating too quickly or too much or something else is wrong. There's always a reason.

I would encourage you to call your doctor. Don't take anything for granted. Better safe than sorry. Keep us posted and get better soon.

Hi friends!!
Just wanted to post my 15 months progression pics. I am currently 167. I am 14 pounds from my goal of 154 which will give me a normal BMI of 25. I wish I could get to 145 but I think that is a dream!! It has really been hard the last 3 months. This weight is crawling off. I know I will reach goal but it may take me until the end of my 2nd year out. That is ok though. I started out at 294 and to date I have lost 126 pounds. I'm so grateful!!!
I'm having a lot of back issues and finally had an MRI two weeks ago that showed 9 bulging disc, two protruding in my spinal cord, benign tumor, bone spurs, spinal stenosis. This MRI was of my neck and middle back. I still have to get thelower back scanned. I know that if I had not gotten this weight off, it could be worse!! Right now, I have no idea how I would be able to carry the weight I use to carry. I know that being that much overweight is probably what put my back in this shape.
I need plastics bad!!! I have sagging skin everywhere! I really want my tummy done and my breast lifted. I need my arms done as well but I think I can live with them. Not that I want to but I will have to pay for these surgeries as I had to pay for my WLS. So I think it may be another year before I can get this all done.
Ok, take care friends!! You guys rock!

I love the butter ball turkey burgers that are seasoned. It is call Sweet Onion Seasoned Turkey Burgers. Yummy!!!

They have some at costco too that are good and 35 grams of Protein. I tend to not eat the last like 5 bites or so since women tend to only be able to absorb around 30 grams of protein in a sitting. I also put cheese on mine so that's why I don't finish it.
I think I am making my dog fat in this process lol

i went to the store to get some chicken to make more salad and etc and found a total score!!!!
wanted to let people know who are looking for that EXTRA bit of protein... just found at Walmart last night... in the frozen section butterball, turkey burgers...
calories 240
total fat 11 g
sugar 1g
Protein 31 g
i could only eat just about half (im four weeks out) i took that last bite of the half i was eating and the dog got the bite... i was too full and didnt want to over fill myself.
it was not aweful... i put cheese on the top and some sweet onion dressing i have and i was happy and full! brought the other half for lunch today at work!!!
love finding things that have so much GOOD protein in it! i am a single girl that lives alone... so anything i make is in SMALL quanties!!!

I tried 3 small bites of costco pizza last night and i regret that I did it. Had me in my bathroom yacking it out. I had to try it because it smelled so good big mistake lol

I started my journey on May 13, 2013 which was my first appointment with my surgeon and I was at my highest weight ever 244. Today as I did my weigh I was 195, and I am actually 1lb away from my 2nd milestone which is 50 lbs. I am sooooo excited, feeling good , and rocking my sleeve.

Hi - I started at 244 as well and had surgery the week after you. We are right about on the same track. How cool!
Congrats on your success Doesn't if feel great to be in Onederland!!!

Just lately my body seems to have changed....I am smaller on the top and I have small legs...I have a big spare tire around my middle that seems to look worse since I lost some weight......All of a sudden my clothes are falling off me...and my stomach is going further down which is making things much harder to fit....
I wear Spanx when I go out and find myself hiking my pants up all the time but they are okay around the stomach area...Same with shirts.....Really loose at the top and fitting snuggling on the tire.....I look very funny I think...
When I was fatter at least I was smooth...I get anxious over the clothes issue. Seems I am just renting them. Then in a few weeks I send them back.....Oh dear me!

We are halfway through with the pregnancy as of today and I am so stoked to meet my little girl. This pregnancy has been so much different than all the others. I thank God for providing the means for me to have surgery!!!

I am just overweight!!! Yay- and 13-14 lbs from initial goal! Also I am using the intermittent fasting plan to get these last stubborn pounds OFF. My weightloss "paused" for about a month, but am back on track now and on my way! BTW, I am almost 8 months out and I am still in love with my sleeve!!!

So bad news. I'm going through a divorce right now (which is a good thing) but my lawyers paralegal just emailed me and they want a significant payment. I'm on a very limited income until this all gets settled and I get my assets back. He knows this, but still wants to be paid and rightfully so. So I have a REALLY hard time asking for help and money from my family.
Good news. My surgery is next Wednesday and so, I'm on the liver reduction diet. I'm pretty proud that even though I'm upset, I reached for my Protein Shake instead of some carby something or other. It's ok to still be emotionally eating right? I mean as long as I make the right choices.
Overall things are really on the up and up. I have a GREAT support system and not ONE if my family or friends has said or even implied that they think negatively about my surgery. My mom is going to go to the hospital with me and stay with me after. My ex is watching my kids for 2 weeks while I recover. My friends have offered to bring homemade broths for me during recovery.
I'm going to be going to school for my Masters hopefully in January and moving into a new place in the next 6-8 months too. All exciting things and all a little scary too. My friend sent me a quote that says, "If your goals don't scare you at least a little, then you aren't challenging yourself enough". I think that's a great mantra for what I'm going through and making all of these HUGE life changes. I'm excited to be the new me both physically and mentally.

Congrats!!!

Sleeved 6-17....254 down to 212! I'm 5'10" and 31years old. 174 is normal BMI...I WILL GET THERE BY MY BIRTHDAY! (Dec 31st) First on to ONEDERLAND!

I started my new journey on May 13, 2013 weighting my highest weight ever 244 lbs and 5'2 inches. I had my sleeve done on June 12, 2013 and I must admit at first I felt like what the heck did I do because I could not eat the way i use to.
Now, I would not trade it for the world!!!! Today at weigh in I was 199.6 lbs and I feel like I'm floating on air I am just soooooo EXCITED. At first I could not see it for a long time, then my sweet daughter asked to take my picture this mornind and I actually see the difference.
