I agree! I don't miss ALL of the food. Now I don't desire food and I'm okay with that! I did realize this would happen bc I had the band first. The sleeve is SO much better!!!!

HW - 193 SW - 187 3 mths out I'd lost 40 lbs

I was sleeved 8/13 and I'm down 44 lbs

Dang we have the same bra size! It's a miracle and you look GREAT!!!!

Correction: I take Pepcid 20 mg twice daily

5 weeks post op today and day 2 of being nauseated in the morning. Anyone have any suggestions? I was drinking protein shakes in the morning. I take Pepcid 20 mg once a day. I am having headaches and wonder if its my sinuses...

You all look Fantastic!!!! I sync'd my cell and lost all b4 pics. Sleeved ONE month and 4 days today. Surgery size 14, today I put on my size 7 jeans!!!! It works if you work it!!!!

That's awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

I did that 2 wks post op and I'm living proof that it won't kill you.

Are you taking b12?

It gets better focus on hydration now.

Good luck everyone having surgery today! It's gonna be the best decision you've ever made!!!

Best thing I've done was removing the band! I waited 10 wks to heal and was sleeved. No regrets whatsoever!!!

Hoping you feel better soon!

Thanks everyone!!! I'll get Gatorade on the way to the hospital shortly. Your prayers are so appreciated!

Hello VST! I'm 3 wks post op. I've been doing well eating and losing weight but my Mom has recently been hospitalized. The stress is causing me not to eat. I didn't have an appetite to start with. I noticed yesterday that my mouth is so dry. I am not trying to become dehydrated. Everything I try to eat is potent...like the flavor is sooo intense also creating me to avoid food period. I know that It's not good that I'm not eating. For those that believe in the power of prayer please pray for both my Mom and I. Thank you!

You're an inspiration!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

I'm 16dpo and went out yesterday for a few hours. I noticed 30 mins before I returned home my lower back (right side) began hurting. It's pain mixed w throbbing. Anyone experience anything similar? No, my water intake wasn't much yesterday but I am urinating light yellow.

Congrats! Enjoy the nap it's the best!!!!!

I concur with Rox. My Bariatric Doc reminded me yesterday at my follow up to not focus on quick weight loss. Two to three pounds a week. No calorie counting just lean protein, veggies, fruit and water. Walk 30 mins 3-4 times a week. It's a tool not the cure. It's a tool AND a lifestyle change period!
