I am 55 & just 7 weeks out and would do it all again.

I've been getting 60-G protein since day 3 postop, take all my supplements, including biotin. I'm believing if it's gonna happen it will.....seems like I did everything possible & still happened

Where is he Brittnielynn?

I am averaging 2lbs a week so far, had 3 stalls but I'm keeping on program. Walking & swimming laps now that the pool is warming up. I am low BMI so I was expecting slow losses. I need to find time for strength training to help my BAT wings though

Wow, please let us know what surgeon says

I have been having fun trying on smaller sized clothing in stores but will not give in to actually buying them. Just enjoying the pleasure of taking pics in the fitting rooms.
I'm buying most of my things through yard sales & consignment shops for now. Buying new thing will be my awards for meeting GOAL

Anyone attend support group meetings held by you Bariatric Surgeon office? Mine is held the first Tuesday of every month. I went but I don't know if I'll be returning. First it's kind of far from my house about 40 minutes, second it's held at 6 PM. I loved hearing the success stories of veterans Sleevers, but I get that here on fb. Question and answers session was nice since the answers were relevant to my surgeon and his recommendations.

Jersey girl, why not eat a couple bites of BBQ chicken or the burger patty? Just take tiny bites & chew chew chew. I have eaten chicken with no probs, just be sures it's moist. BTW, good luck getting prego

Man it amazes me what I can do and even more I cannot find nothing I can't do...

Local support

What a fabulous idea! Very interested, can't wait to hear more

Another darn stall but also a ton of NSV's

I'm 6 wks out now & absolutely thrilled with my progress. Absolutely no food issues & now on full diet. I walk a 5k each day and do gym 3x a day.
I feel it's time for me to move on with my life now. Good luck to all the March Sleevers! I only have time for my blog postings but I will check in here every 3 or 4 months if I have time.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL ON YOUR JOURNEYS!

My port area was very bothersome for a couple of weeks after the band removal. There was a hole where it used to be that filled with Fluid and that took awhile to all rearrange. It did go away though!

Sassi has her own Facebook page. She is always on the lap top. She gets me my socks and shoes for me to take her a walk to go bye bye, she is not just my kid but my furry baby i always say. My Mom raised Apricot Toy Poodles and i did love them at the time ( any animal in fact that i feed becomes a part of the family) but this Jack Russell i have is just plain smart., and I have two Yorkies that are cute but they get into so much trouble at times, i love them too , great letting me know if there a prowler around but still nothing compared to the JRT. Buster was born premature weighed less 5oz when born and i mouth fed that dog until it was 5 wks, he weighs 3 lbs now and is 8 yrs old, Memoe the other Yorkie is the watch Dog, but love children the most he thinks he is their protector and will bite a parent for spanking their child, I'm single but my daughter that live in Chicago come to visit Memoe is stuck to the kids.. I love my fur babies

Omg!! I will be hitting the age of 55 in June.. Im shocked at that number cause I feel much more young. I'm at 247 now, that better than saying 478 lbs, I haven't hit my goal weight yet but if I don't ..oh well I feel so good now that I wouldn't be disappointed at all. I feel like Im 17. Just got back from a 20 mile bike ride and soon I will be taking my Jack Russell for a walk! ..life is good enjoy it!

my surgeon limits me to 1/4 cup of any food, must work, I've never been nauseous or in pain. I plan to stay 1/4 cup until I reach goal

Hi everyone, I'm 55 yrs young & sleeved March 10th. First week postop I cried & just knew I had made a huge mistake. Now I'm doing great, no pain & so far no problems with slowly adding foods back to my diet. I've been reading your posts & gotten some great tips!

I did very well with the band until I started with complications with reflux and pain at my band area. I didn't realize just how much pain I was having in my esophagus area until after surgery. I feel like an elephant has been removed from my ribcage.
Also, so many of our band rules apply to the sleeve as well...small bites, no drinking with meals etc, I found it almost 2nd nature to move on to being sleeved.

Dropped another 2.5 YAY

My sleeve was on 12 March 2014 (4wks) yeahhhhh. I'm a little sore berry every little. The only time I notice it is when I'm done jogging. My pre op weight 225.0, weight of surgery 219.6lbs, today I'm 194.6. That is 30.4 since pre op liquids and 25lbs since surgery. I started jogging a week ago. I could only do .25 miles before stoping I would walk the rest of my mile 1/2. Today I jogged 2 miles non stop!!! It's a damn good feeling !!!! I can't wait to see what the future holds. I am doing good with my Water. But getting my Protein in sucks!!! I'm making it my mission to do better though. I know I can be on solids now even though I haven't had my check up yet. But I like the mushy stage.
