I am exactly one week out as of today. It's been tough to get the required amount of Protein and Water in however, all in all, its been great. Minimal pain, nothing too serious. I dropped a whopping 17lbs in one week which is cray cray yall. Anyways- thought I'd throw my two cents out there since this is mostly a womens thread!

I'm really glad to hear about the stalls. I have been at a stall for about 2 & 1/2 weeks. Im down a total of 42lbs since the day of surgery(1/20) which the doctor said was ahead of schedule. It's just hard when you don't see the scale moving and you know you are barely putting anything in your body, comparatively to preop. I have noticed my clothes are fitting different though. My suits are starting to become really lose - gotta wear a belt.

Just wanted to update since its now been 1 month from my surgery date. Since the date of surgery I have dropped 37lbs. I think I would have dropped more but I rolled my ankle and had to be off my feet for a week. I haven't been sick from eating anything. I have been able to stomach everything so far! Honestly, it's been a pretty textbook recovery with no issues. The only thing I have experienced is the extremely uncomfortable sensation after eating a little too quickly. I wish everyone good luck on their journey. One month down and a lifetime to go

I was sleeved the 20th! Everything went smoothly. I haven't had any pain except for the gas build up. As long as I don't try to drink too fast the gas issue is non existent. I have had zero hunger. Forcing myself to get my Protein in- have been able to get 60 oz of protein a few of the days. All in all it's been great. Dropped 12 lbs in 5 days so far. No issues sleeping either- however I have chosen to sleep sitting up on the couch. Wishing yall much success!

I'm cash pay and the soonest they could see me was just shy of 3 weeks. I decided to wait though until after the holidays. I had surgery yesterday and for the most part it's been a cake walk. The gas issues everyone talks about are undeniably real- totally gotta walk it out. Also, I had my surgery in Texas, performed by the Nicholson clinic. They have a flat price of $12,200 for surgery. However, with all the additionals, the physical, Protein stuff, prep diet foods, I think i spent right at 13k. So far it's been worth it. I lost 5lbs between yesterday and today(. I know it's just Water weight but I'll take it!

You can see how I am doing numbers-wise in my sig below.
But brother, numbers are only a small part of the big picture. Guys and gals will attest, wearing smaller clothes, being more active, the self-esteem boost that comes with, (and fellas: let's all admit we've "improved" in certain other areas as well, amirite??)
It's a life changer, and the scale is just a teeny portion of that. Best of luck to you my friend.

Eas Advantage has a caramel café flavor that I find goes down really easily. The Premier Protein vanilla shakes are pretty good as well!

I'm on it as well! I really try to stay busy. I plan my days down to the "T" so that my mind won't wander to food. Also -water. Drink plenty of it and it will put some of those cravings at bay. You can do it!
