I had my surgery May 12 2015. So far I have lost 72lbs. I told no one at work. I put in for 2 weeks vacation

Which was enough time for me to have surgery and relax. It was the best decision for me. It was really no one business and like you. I wanted no negative comments. People always say how good I look and how much weight I lost. All I say is diet and exercise. You have to do what's best for you. Good luck

Hi my name is Melissa live in Ny

Sleeve Surgery on May 12th. Recently hit 3 months

Lost 52lbs so far. Feeling great

I eat a lot of baked chicken and baked fish

For breakfast I love my omelettes with cheese eggs and a little ham or bacon. (This covers my protein)

I met a girl in the hospital who was having the same surgery turns out we don't live far from each other and had the

Same surgeon.

We have become good friends and each other support person thru this. We talk regularly about different

Foods and the ups and downs. I'm super grateful for that

I eat a lot of watermelon. It's 90% Water. So it helps me when I'm not getting all my water in

I so get tired of just drinking water all the time

I was out for two weeks and felt good going back. I was still a bit tired but it got better

Believe me the tiredness will go away. For at least a month. I could no walk a few steps without stopping to rest. I live in NYC where you have to walk fast or get knocked over lol. It was tough for me. My doctor said keep drinking Water and keep drinking the Protein Shakes and it really helped. I'm now 3 months postop and feel great

I totally miss fried chicken. There is a Popeyes chicken two blocks from me. I smell the chicken all the time. All I think of is all the grease and it turns me off. I miss donuts and pancakes and a cold Pepsi. Although I had one waffle for Breakfast the other day light butter and very little lite surgery. It was good and I had no problems. Basically the thing is portion size. None of us is perfect. We will all eat food that we shouldn't occasionally and that's ok.

Hi Jake

I am a recreation smoker as well. I had stopped smoking 2 months prior to surgery as advised by my doctor. My doctor told me to wait at least three months after surgery before I start back. My surgery was on May 12 2015. I have lost 52lbs so far. My three month period ended last week August 12th. I smoked for the first time this weekend. I had no problems at all it was great I did have the munchies feeling after I just made sure I had some fruit with me ate that and I was fine. Life does not end after you have the surgery like people think. I enjoyed my life just as I did before surgery. I pretty much eat the same food I did before minus soda and fried food. Just a lot less. I still have 40lbs to go before I reach my goal weight. I know I will make it. And will continue getting my little buzz along the way. Good luck

Gang in there it will get better. My fist month after surgery I was so tired every day I could hardly walk a few steps without having to stop and rest. It was so hard. I'm now 3 months out and have no problems at all. It will get better in time

When I first considered weight loss surgery. I had made up my mind about getting the band. After speaking with my primary doctor and my surgeon they both agreed the sleeve was the way to go. I had my sleeve surgery 3 months ago. I have since lost 52 pounds. This was the best decision I made. I had no complications at all. My only regret is Not doing this sooner.

Wow you have all done well. Congrats too all of us. This is not easy but we are doing our thing

I'm at 3 months also. I'm down 52lbs. I'm going thru a stall right now also that's because I'm eating more. It seems that my stomach has heeled it takes more to get me full now. We just have to keep bat it. I just started at the gym this week

Hello I have not posted in awhile. I'm now 3 months postop. I'm down 52 pounds. I feel great went from a size 20 pants to 16 3x to Extra large. I get complaints all time time. This was the best decision I made for myself. I have had no problems at all. Good luck to all of you.

I'm also at 3 months out and it takes more to get me full. I was told by my doctor to increase my calories and eat more Protein

Hello all

I had my surgery on May 12th. I'm a few days short of 3 months. My starting weight was 271. Day of surgery I weight 265. Today I'm at 215. All in all I've lost 56 pounds. I'm so happy I did this surgery. My goal is 160 so I still have 55 lbs to go . I have noticed the weight is coming off slower now. My stomach has healed and I can eat pretty much anything. I have to work at it everyday on what I eat

I'm almost 3 months out. 51lbs down. I get asked all the time how am I losing weight so fast. Simple say diet and exercise. People also ask how much weight have you lost. I just say I lost a few pounds.
