    Chris_R got a reaction from BigGirlPanties in 5 months out...tortoise or the hare?   
    I had my sleeve on 11/21/13 and to date have lost 42 pounds and can't tell you how many inches. I'm averaging a pound a week. The weeks I exercise more have been 2 pounds lost. I too thought I was a slow loser, but my surgeon as well as my PCP have said healthy weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds weekly. Hey, any weight lost is an awesome thing!

    I am getting sleeved on 11/21. On the advice of another sleever on a different board, I went to www.insurenutrition.com. You fill out a form with insurance info and they do the leg work. I was approved and monthly will get Protein Shakes and Vitamins. For anyone getting any type of bariatric procedure, definitely check their site out. I am so glad I did.

    I was sleeved 11/21, spent 2 nights in hospital. Never really had much pain, but when I get up from sitting down, I feel as if I'm carrying a bowling ball. Everything has been going down fine except for today, if anything is too cold, I get like a heartburn feeling. Including preop diet, I'm down 16 pounds!

    I'll be 1 week postop on Thanksgiving and plan to have some mashed and sweet. And 'maybe' a well smushed bite of turkey.

    Umm.. I was never told not to drink caffeine so I had my caffeinated coffee as soon as I got home. I'm from Seattle so caffeinated coffee is on the same level as air for us.

    I have my surgery 11/21. I'm allowed full liquids, so the 2 weeks haven't been too bad. I've thought of throwing in the towel twice already, but won't. I keep thinking I'll never be able to have anything ever again.
