    Hi everyone. I'm curious as to where everyone is this far out. I'm slowly coming along now as I expect the loss isn't pouring out at this point. It's been ok for me, no complications. I'm working out a lot but my eating isn't the best. I'm not sure what to expect approaching a year mark. So what has your journey been like? Any tips would be great.

    I'm just in awww. Looking at myself in the mirror knowing where I was a year ago, months ago. Im so excited I can't even show it as much as I would like to. No one understands your battle but you. However you guys can relate as we all are on the same journey here. I just want to scream odd times, burst out into tears of joy and stair at myself saying is this really real. Am I going to wake up and it be a dream. I know I may sound crazy but I'm so emotional right now. Understand, how I feel right now I haven't felt in so long and the best part is this is the beginning of an extraordinary new life for me. While nothing around me has changed much, but my mind has and that makes all the difference. To anyone that is newly postop hang in there on those tuff days and get ready to get excited and to anyone contemplating on what to do, just think of feeling so good you can't stand it. Trust me it's not the easiest no matter what folks say like you cheated blah blah they don't know what they are talking about. This takes work but it's so rewarding.......once again EXCITED!

    Anyone had this that last for about 2 weeks or more constantly? Idk what to do. I can barely eat anything because it hurts and I may feel nauseous or have to use the bathroom afterwards. I know your wondering what I'm eating but i went back to basics and drank Protein Shakes and broth same thing happens. The pain is excruciating. Constipation maybe but I've taken meds for that which worked fine. Not sure what's going on.

    I was sleeved on Oct 23rd. I'm also about 5'5" or 5'6" and was sleeved at 238 lbs. Today I weigh around 226 - one week out. I was always told that we'll lose weight slower than those who have higher starting weight, but should lose most of it in the first 6 months.

    Yaaayyyyy. I'm not alone in my weight range or was. I'm a month out exactly today. I am down to 215. It slows up that I can say so far. But seems like inches are melting away. I've given so many cloths away. When I started this process back in January I was 263. I've come a long way. Once I get to wonderland I'm gonna go insane. Thinking of planning a trip for myself. Keep going you will get there. Sip sip sip.

    It is impossible this close to the start. My doctor doesn't even want me using shakes. All of my Protein is to come from foods. They know starting out reaching that goal is impossible. They want you to build up to that goal tho. Also to drink and stay hydrated, which is more important than the protein.

    While drinking to stay hydrated I used protein juice mix like Nector. There are ways to get protein in without shakes or real food.

    I'm in VA!

    Yes support makes a difference.

    And no they don't understand. People think this is the easy route but this feel like the hardest thing ever. My mind has not caught up with my lil ole sleeve yet. Just a few minutes ago I forgot about it and reached for my diet snapple tea (the best) and gulped it down like I was normal. After that I said holy crap what the heck did I just do lol. But I'm happy I had a moment that I forgot because I've had a ruff day lord knows. And it felt good for a second to feel normal even though my sleeve brought me back to reality fast.

    I think you have just been faced with sleeved life. But, it doesn't have to be lonely. Do you have any close friends or family that might understand?

    I have my sister but any time I talk about it to her she changes the subject like she doesn't want to hear it. She was my only person. My dr office has support groups but I work so I can't attend at the time.

    It's not so much junk I want to eat. I want to eat normal and I can't. My new normal is a fork full and that's it. But yet all day not really eating and the scale doesn't move. It hasn't moved since oct 12. That's insane. And as for a buddy yes I have this site but actually having an audience reading how you feel everyday can be a bit much. Plus no one wants to read how your struggling day to day that's negative energy I don't want to put out. I need a more personal buddy. Somebody I can vent to and hear and that understands. Someone that have the sleeve. And Being that I haven't told my friends it's really hard not talking about it. This process is so not easy. It takes more work than anything. Oh I'm just 25 days out
