October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!
Hang in there. Probably time to switch something up. It slows down for everyone at a certain point, but if you keep your body guessing you can get it going again.

What size bougie was used?
My surgeon used a 38 french bougie. I haven't had any issues, so I guess it doesn't matter to me! lol

Survey - Carbonated Drinks? Do u drink them?
I used to LOVE coke zero, I have been clean for over 5 months...I'm 4 months post op. It helped me that I started weaning a few months before surgery though...

my co worker just blew up my secret
I have a blabbermouth coworker like that. I had to set her straight real quick. She hasn't said another word since. I don't mind telling most people, but like I told her its for ME to decide. She can feel free to share anything she wants about herself but leave me out of it!

4-month surgiversary
I'm 3.5 months out and I've lost 51 pounds since surgery 10/2 and 61 pounds since my preop appt 9/23. I started pretty slow but my weight loss has been picking up as of late. I have to admit the 2 and 3 week stalls really test your mind and spirit. I just usually curse at the scale and wait it out! LOL! SW:263 CW: 212 GW:150-160 (I plan to go into maintenance mode between 155-160 then have plastics)

The Reasons I Would Never Recommend This Surgery To Anyone Anymore.
Great post. I don't think I would recommend this surgery per se either...I am open and honest and try to stress that its not a miracle surgery when people ask about it. Especially to the ones that ask you how much you have lost every.single.day.

What I thought were gas pains turned out to be major blood clots.

Cycle after survery
I also had my cycle a week before surgery, then my cycle came as scheduled but was shorter and lighter! I hope that continues... I'm only 1 month out so I don't have a pattern to share...
-
Anyone cycling?
I cycle...haven't since surgery on 10-2 plan to do 12 miles on Tuesday...I do 8-18 miles each ride about 12mph average...my path has a net increase altitude of at least 500ft. I am going to start training rides for a 40 miler for breast cancer next Sept!
