I'm so excited to see this thread up! I too had my surgery on July 2. My pre-surgery weight was 260. I am so happy to report that to date ( and I weigh myself daily), I am down 12lbs! I couldn't be more thrilled. I have my first post-op dr visit tomorrow. I've been feeling relatively fine other than being pretty sore and my stomach is still swollen. I am also finally starting to gain some energy. I was so weak all week long. Today is the first day that I felt like I could actually do some light housework. But, of course I over did it and now my stomach is really sore tonight. So, I guess I will have to take it one day at a time.
At any rate, congrats to all of the July 2014 sleevers and I am looking forward to staying in touch!

We all make mistakes. However, I commend you for acknowledging what you did in a public forum. We all can learn from this and hopefully move on. Keep your eye on the prize and continue to pray. This will surely get easier as time goes on. And with the support of this site, we can all succeed. I love how we all embrace one another and support each other.

thanks for the positive support.

Well, I did it. I got the sleeve revision. I am really hopeful that this does the trick. I am fairly certain that this doctor was more aggressive than my first surgon. I saw the post surgery x-rays yesterday and there doesn't appear to be any stomach left. No pouch at all that I can see. Yet I feel pretty good considering. I remember seeing the x-rays from my 1st surgery and there was definitely a pouch remaining. Maybe I just needed a microscopic "pouch". For those of you who were wondering, I did feel that my first sleeve was not done as "aggressively" as I needed and that the surgeon was very conservative in the amount of stomach he removed. I could never get the Dr. to admit to this though. He just said that I needed to work harder. I wasn't eating much (less than 900 calories a day) and I still wasn't losing. I exercised as much as I could, but putting myself first as a teacher and mother of 4 is very hard. Anyhow, here's hoping that my 2nd surgery has significant results. Time will tell...

I don't technically think I'm ready to have these, but the Gerber Graduates yogurt melts are my new favorite little treat. Those and the cheddar bite things (look like cheese puffs) are so good. They literally melt in your mouth. They aren't bad either. Not high in Protein (only 1g) or anything, but good if you need to crunch something!

Hey folks. I was looking to set up a thread for July 2014 sleevers. I believe the other threads were originally back in 2013.
I just had my surgery on July 2. I'm SO glad I did this. My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a host of other problems. I put on another 30 pounds from October to February of this year. I was a good 185 and quit smoking. I ballooned up to 305. I'm self pay and I got to 278 during my pre-surgery.
Since the surgery, I don't think I've been hungry, but I'm still dealing with the healing process. My first postop is Thursday. My only complaint is the low energy level. I knew it was coming, but wow.
I'd like to hear from those who started their life change this month. I am also hoping this can be a thread we can keep tabs on each other, as well as provide motivation when we need it
