Yeh Michelle, I actually have moved since I got the band done and I went to see a different doctor for the sleeve. He actually stopped doing the sleeve 4 yrs ago due to the side effects and complications. So glad I had it removed. I know it's going to be a bit slower, but it will all be worth it in the long run

@@stantog, glad to hear you're doing great. I have never been able to drink Water without gagging on it. This is why I'm so happy Crystal Light is allowed. Originally, I wanted to get the band. I was checking into it online when I read about the sleeve. So I made an appointment for a seminar that my local hospital was having regarding wls. Found out this particular doctor is trying to get away from doing the band. Heard several unfortunate stories involving it. I've noticed a lot of people who have had the band are now getting the sleeve. Hope all continues well with you now. Sounds like you're on the right road to greatness.

I was sleeved on the 18th as well and I'm feeling great now. First week was hard. With post op diet to now I've lost 20pounds or nearly 9-10 kgs my dr said I'd have slower weight loss as I was a revision. IE went from band to sleeve. Either way still happy. I'm mainly drinking Gatorade drinks as I'm not tolerating Water that well. Otherwise yogurts, custards, cheese, shakes and anything blended into purée. Made korma curry last night and just blended a cup in the wizz machine and it was awesome. Mind you only ate half but was great to get some flavours in. Well done everyone. Hardest part is done ????

Good luck to everyone who is having their surgery in a few hours. Mine is Tuesday the 18th. My excited. Nervous. Anxious. Ready! Really started liking my replacement meals. Been on them for 14 days. I've also been "nesting" ever since I got the surgery date. Had to put up Christmas tree tonight but everyone knows not to turn it on until the day after Thanksgiving. That's our tradition.

I've been doing very well with my sleeve. It’s said on this site all the time but I'm say it as well...Getting the sleeve was the best decision I've made and I wouldn't change anything. I had a positive outlook on the entire situation from the beginning and I truly believe that helped.

I started out at 262lbs, I lost 15lbs from doing the pre op diet, and today I weight 156lbs so total I’ve lost 106lbs. I started in a size 22 now I’m in a size 8.

No, I did not work out, however I did change my eating habits, I completely gave up sugar and only do sugar substitute or sugar free. I do Protein first and I eat a lot of Protein Bars, I can’t stand the shakes they make me nauseous.

In the beginning this was all like a fantasy or a dream, but now I’m actually living it and it feels wonderful.

Scheduled for the 18th. Started Two Week diet on Tuesday, November 4th
