5/13/14 down 42 lbs.
People are starting to notice the weight lose now. I was hoping I would have lost more by now. I want to be down 50 lbs by the 3rd month. I know everyone loses differently. I can't say I do everything perfect. But I try to stay away from carbs and sugar as much as possible. I still drink my Protein shakes and I log in to myfitnesspal to track what I eat. I've gone from a 20 size pants to a 16. My legs, face and neck are showing the weight lose the fastest. Just wish my tummy would trim down faster. I get so bored eating the same thing all the time. I don't have many problems with food. I can't eat bread that's the only thing that bothers my belly. I exercise with workout videos 3 times a week. Good luck everyone. Slowly but surely we will be at our goal!

I was sleeved May 13th. 7 weeks out down 35lbs. I stalled for a week also but losing pretty fast within the past week.

<br><br> Hey butterfly! Is it ok if I friend you? You're the first May 12th sleever I see besides me so far! You're lucky you have no drain, I think it's made this recovery a bit harder for sure. And the gas? I still have it, mostly because I can't go walking around with this drain, it's too painful! How are you getting your liquids in? Any tips? I just feel so full all the time! I was sleeved may 13th. No drain. Minimal incision pain. But having a hard time swallowing still. I don't get but maybe 30 grams of Protein in daily, if that. It's tough when it takes all day to drink a 10oz Protein shake.

You will go through pain for 2 days. Then what feels like hunger for a few days. I'm 8 days post op and finally feel somewhat better.

I open my Nexium capsule also but it hasn't helped. If this pain in the middle of my chest would go away I think id feel 100 times better

Today is such a better day. I'm not sure as to why... But hey!! I guess as days pass things will get easier.

Okay so I know I'm not suppose to weight myself daily buttttt I just can't help it. Since surgery on Tuesday 4 days post op. I'm down 12.4 lbs ????????

My surgery went well today. Although I'm still very groggy. I feel like I've done 1000 crunches. The pain is there but not unbearable. I still havent pee'd yet, I feel the urge to pee but just can't. Doc said that's normal. Twisting and turning is hard but I find laying on my back with a slightly elevated head and feet is working well!! Off to dreamland I go again!!

Tomorrow is the big day! 6am!! Thankfully my dr only makes you do a 24 preop diet of clear liquids.... Soup get boring! Not being able to chew actual food is hard. And the magnesium citrate is for the birds! But it will all pay off in the long run!! Eeeekk I'm excited!! Finger crossed!
