I'm at 8 weeks and I eat salads a lot with no problems. My doctor told me after 6 weeks

I miss loaded fries which is cheese fries with bacon. I used to love those

Believe me almost Everyone feel this way in the beginning. I had my surgery May 12th. I cried constantly I felt terrible. I missed eating my favorite foods it was bad. But after awhile you get used to it and it get a lot better. You learn to eat differently. I'm 2 months out and I'm down 50 lbs. so I'm loving the sleeve now and love shopping for new clothes. I can eat pretty much what I want now just in much smaller portions. Keep your head up. It gets a lot better.

75lbs is really good. I was sleeved May 12th. I'm down 51 lbs.

Congrats. I cannot wait for that moment. At 2 months I'm 41lbs down. I have 25 lbs to go to get in the hundreds. My gift to myself will be going to the spa. Something I always wanted to do.

Hi May Sleevers. I have not been on for awhile. Can't sleep tonight and decided to log in. I was sleeved May 12. Almost going on 2 months. I'm down 41 pounds. I'm so happy about that. I had to buy all new clothes. Very excited. I wish everyone luck

I am 7 weeks out and down 37 pounds my goal is 80 so I have 43 to go. I feel great so I'm not rushing it. I no I will get there. Good luck

Good luck on your surgery. I packed a lot but used none I was there overnight and wore the same hospital gown until I left. My phone charger only thing used

You have to do what's right for you. Outside of my immediate family I told no one not even my job. Just told them I was taking two weeks vacation I had my surgery may 12. I have already lost 32 pounds and feel great. Everyone is saying how good I look. The surgery was the best thing for me. I'm going away for the 4th of July holiday and brought my first bathing suit in over 10 years. Good luck to you

I was sleeve over a month ago. The soreness goes away after about a week. Use a pillow over your stomach that really helps

Living stone that was a great story. Today I am one month postop and it does get better everyday. Two weeks ago I cried everyday thinking why did i do this to myself. I no longer feel that way. Although I would love to have a cheeseburger lol. Maybe on 3 month out

Girl keep doing your thing you look great you should be very proud of yourself I'm only at the beginning with one month postop 23 lbs down so far

I took two weeks off and also had the extra day for the Memorial Day holiday. So it worked out for me. I was to tired to go back after one week I'm almost at 4 weeks now and feel good

I took two weeks and was ready to go back

Kindle Hoe far out are you. I wish I could eat all that for breakfast I'm almost a month out I can only eat half an egg and 1 sausage link. Would love a pancake miss it so much

Please count me in. I'm currently 248. Im hoping to be at 235 by July 4th

So as we go into June. I just wanted to wish all my May Sleevers good luck. Had my surgery may 12th. Doing good. 23 pounds down. Next week I'm starting on solid food. Looking forward to that. My energy level is low because I'm not drinking enough water so I am working on that .

I had my surgery two weeks ago. I told 4 people. My mom stepfather who took me to hospital and picked me up my only sibling (my brother) and my best friend. Told no one at church or work. My job just think I took a two week vacation. I go back to work tomorrow and I feel good. Btw I'm down 19 pounds

I hate water to. My doctor said vitamin water zero is ok. It's no calories no sugar And they have different favors

Today was the day for me. I was an emotional roller coaster. I'm 9 days post-op. I'm dying to eat a regular meal . Then I decided I need to read a few encouraging words from people who are dealing with the same issues. This has really helped .

Good luck to both of you. You have made the right decision. Two years ago I was thinking of WLS and decided I would try and lose weight on my own. Well a year later I had lost and regained weight plus more. At that point my doctor said this would be the best option for me. I started the journey last Sept. Got all my required test done by end of March including the 6 month supervised diet. My Doctor submitted everything to the insurance company and they approved me within a week. I had my surgery May 12th. The first few days after survey was not bad a little sore. But believe me it gets better everyday. I have my first follow up with my doctor today. So far I'm down 17 lbs this include the two week liquid diet that was required before surgery My only problem is I WISH I was not afraid to do it two years ago. Good luck

Hello all. My name is Melissa I'm from Brooklyn Ny. I was sleeved on May12th. I'm 1 week post-op. I had my surgery at Mercy Hospital in Long Island by Dr. Holover. The surgery went well I got lucky did not have any gas pains. I'm in recovery mode now. Just trying to drink enough water it's tough. I would like to attend the next support group meeting.

I'm going to try that. I was sleeved May 12th. 1 week post op today. My name is Melissa I'm from Brooklyn

I'm feeling a lot better I'm 7 days post-op. My doctor has already put me on soft/purée foods. I'm not having any problems wit keeping liquids down. Have not experienced any vomiting or anything So far so good and I'm down 9lbs since surgery

Hi All: My surgery was last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm on my 6 day post-op. I am feeling so much better. Stomach is healing nicely. My followup with my surgeon is Wednesday. I was in pain for 3 days then i started feeling better. I was lucky my doctor put me on soft/purée foods when I left the hospital because I had no problem drinking or keeping food down. So far I'm down 17 pounds since the surgery that also include the two week pre-op diet. My biggest problem is drinking enough Water. I never been a big water drinker before the surgery. Now he want me to drink at least 64oz everyday to keep hydrated. I'm trying its tough. I want to wish everyone luck who is having surgery this week. The first few days after surgery is rough but it does get better each day.
