I'm from Morris County!! Was sleeved in April. So far it has been the best decision I've made!! Good luck!!

Fage 0% is good with fruit preserve. Just a little bit mix it & it gives it good flavor.

I was sleeved almost 4 months ago. I've lost 46 lbs. I probably could lose more if I actual exercise. I have had my ups & downs especially with food but at the end I don't regret having this surgery. Good luck to all of you sleevers!!

I too find it difficult to eat out. I will order either a soup or an appetizer that has some protein. I am three months post op & had to get a "divorce from food". I initially would order a meal like I normally used & quickly & painfully realize that I was hurting myself. I would end up eating a few bites & giving it away or end up throwing it out. Like many others I now order small & simple & don't go out as often as I did. It's not worth it & yes not being able to have a drink before, during & after a meal is not appealing unless you time it precisely. Good luck to you. I'm also glad to hear others having similar problems & concerns.

@nanabanana I too have the big arms. I was sleeved on April 17th and started at 230 and am now at 190. I haven't noticed my arms getting smaller but my stomach definitely has. I hope that my arms eventually start to shrink. Good luck!! Oh & my surgeon told me to start chewable Vitamins as soon as I got home which was two days later. I did chewable for a month. Now I can swallow pills.

I was sleeved on 4/17 & have lost 40 lbs so far. I love seeing the pounds come off but honestly have found it difficult to "divorce" certain foods. I have a hard time with some food. Some days I can eat tuna fish on toast & other days I can eat it at all. I also don't get enough Water because I get a stomachache or nauseous. Due to my lack of water intake I have had two UTI's & now have to see a urologist. Ugh!! I however do not regret having this surgery. I feel great!! I went from 230 to currently 190. It's great to be in the 100's again :-)
