Hi All,
It's been 6 months today!! Yay, doing well, almost 80lbs down! Trying lots of different food these days....being careful not to graze, which is easier said than done...planning on some 5k's this summer....trying to get out that inner athlete in me (it's been hiding since I was a child). How's everyone doing? Any Other Colorado sleevers out there?

Hello All,
A week past my 5 month post surgery date and feeling good! Wondering what everyone is eating and how many calories you're taking in? My capacity for food intake is definitely more than it was (as expected) but it makes me a little wary. Working on keeping my meals structured to 5 small ones a day. Would love to hear other stories.....do tell!

Thank you Haley and LAG50, take care and hopefully we can share our experiences!

Hello October Sleevers,
Well I'm all set! Go in at 5:30am, surgery at 7:30am. Although I haven't posted much on this site yet, I just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions, it's been so helpful to read these posts and everyone's experiences!! I plan to be more active with posting next week!!

Hi Laura! Judy from Lawrence, KS. I had my sleeve done on 6/4 when I was still living in Florida. My surgeon, Dr Robin Ache at Suncoast Bariatrics, was awesome. To date, I have lost almost 80 lbs and am no longer on BP meds. The surgery went smoothly. The biggest adjustment for me is understanding how little you can eat at a time. I have been through a 2 week plateau which is normal. Hard to believe you can plateau when you are eating 800-1000 calories a day! I got through it though. I started exercising at our local community center and loved it, especially when the weight started melting off. Just remember, this is a change for life. You can't go back like a lap bander can. You can do it!!!
