Mikee57, I remember that Laugh-In gag. Too funny!

3 people know about my surgery, my mother, my best friend and my hairdresser (dont y'all tell her everything? ) My mother is gung ho because she knows how sick I have been and that I am doing this to be healthy, my best friend is concerned and being in the medical field has asked a lot of questions but supports me and will always be on my side. My hairdresser...I'm not sure except she is ready and willing to help if I start losing a lot of hair! As for the rest of them...friends and family...I have spent 30 years being the fat one, the funny one, the one with the pretty eyes...I'll let them have their opinion and I will know the reason I am doing this is I want a future and if I don't do this it will not be the long happy one I envision.

I'm May 7. Been on Preop for 10 days lost 10 lbs. cheated a few times mainly with Protein. I am now starting on the OMGWAID phase. I am getting so scared. Am i really going to let someone cut out over 3/4 of my stomach?

Hi im a May 1st sleever. 1st day home. No probs w fluids-nausua-gas. But got on scale and up 9 pds. Laying in bed right now thinking I feel 100% normal. Drank 20 oz Protein and 20+water! What's wrong? Did they not take it out?

My surgery is May 7, and I did not have to do a diet, just high protein...so I clean out my system for 2 days! I had a lot of farewells to my favorite foods today! May 7th is the day..

Well today is my first day home from the hospital. As expected I am in a lot of pain and still have a lot of gas that I am unable to get out. I am having a hard time with the fluids but I am doing my best so I don't end up back in the hospital dehydrated. I feel hungry but I am pretty sure it's all in my head. How are all of the other May 1st sleevers doing? Oh and I started at 260and I am down to 246 after a week.

It's official I'm sleeved

Good question! I too have just started my journey, and I have really been giving this a lot of thought. Besides new clothes, I was thinking about learning a sport, like tennis or golf with my teenage niece.

Such great great success in such a short period. Be proud of your success,

When you have to raise the seat in your car because your backside isn't as thick.

When you lose your underwear! True story! They just fell right off! Haha

Yes, I received a coupon by email from my favorite online plus size clothing boutique, and realized I will never buy from them again! I hope the excitement of that keeps me going as I begin this journey!

How bout being told that you have a pretty face (which in my head says - too bad about all that going on below your neck!). Also will not miss sweating ALL the time! ????

I got my sleeve done today and my gallbladder out as well... So far so good...

Hi Everyone!
I am 4 months and 7 days out from surgery and have officially gone from 267 pounds to 199 pounds post op! I am finally in the 100's! I have not see. That have seen my weight begin with a 1 since 2005.
This has been an amazing journey and I feel amazing. I must admit it has been an easy journey because my sleeve works for me. Even when I nimble on something I shouldn't my sleeve stops me.
I'm so so excited! Hope everyone feels as good as I!

I am at the 4 month mark and I've lost 68 lbs.

I've only lost 30 pounds I do get a lot of complements about how good I look now

Protein alone is not good. You must eat some veggies. I was having problems with gout, Constipation and slow weight loss, and our NUT said it was all because I ate too much Protein. I was afraid to eat veggies. Once I started the zucchini and salads, etc., it was awesome. I can now tolerate any steamed veggies. I have heard bad things since about eating too much protein, but I am not educated enough to discuss it. Maybe someone else can help here.
