You don't recognize yourself anymore

When you go for your 6 month post op doctor visit and none of the staff recognizes you. When the medical assistant can draw blood from your arm because they can find a vain. When they tell you you have perfect blood pressure.

@@wmidhope the complements and clothing size dropping. I never deprive myself of nothing. I just prep it diffrent. Everything grilled or broiled.

When you get a new hair cut didn't recognize yourself. Had to do a double take

Here it is 310lbs start weight to 210 in 3 months( on the 29th) Lots of walking and alot of meat protein. Thank God for my sleeve, it saved my life. No more sleep apnea, no more high blood pressure, no more diabetes.

Nice. How are you feeling

I look like a clown in my work clothes. Lol. We are getting new ones in 4 weeks so I got that going for me.

Thanks everyone.

Well I was sleeved June 29th 2015. I went from a tight 44 jeans to wearing a 38 today. I have to give away so much things. I will hopefully get clearance for the gym Tuesday. I wish I would have done this year's ago.

No veggies or fruit for me. Soft foods only

I'm going to try that tommorow. Thanks

Refried beans and cheese. I want to eat it all day long. Lol. Feeling great. I hope everyone is doing well.

Lmao. I'm sorry. If you feel like you can go for it. Listen to your body. If you feel any strain on your abdomen stop and make sure you stay hydrated. Have fun.

Diet is key. If your not loosing the weight try upping your calorie intake. 600 to 1000 cal a day and working out you should be okay.

If your taking protein shakes you could have diarrea

Same here. I go see my Doc on Tuesday I'm going to ask.

Dang. Did you talk to your doc about it? @@Mp1409 I'm on the same boat. I guess it was the empty stomach due to the two week liquid diet and a skilled surgeon

Sleeved on monday the 29th and I feel like nothing was done. I have no pain. My 5 wounds are healing nice and I don't get hungry like before. I notice if i wait too long to eat or drink I get the shakes and sweats till I get somthing in me. Word of advice try to have a BM asap. It will make you feel like a million bucks.

3 to 6 month monitored by your surgeon.

I unhooked myself off of everything. Lol. I was the 29th and I feel great today. I'm passing Gas and bm and that made a world of a diffrence. I still can't drink alot of water it gives me hicups. I'm going to vitamin shoppe later to try some isopure to at least get some protein in.

Out of surgery at 4pm. I'm okay dry mouth but okay. I walked the hallways 6 laps lol. I cannot belive how many about muscles you use for basic task. June 29th sleevers we are on the loosing side now. God bless everyone.

Good luck to all June 29th sleevers. I'm here a little to early but I'm ready.

Tommorow is the big day for me. I'm going to get there super early and just wait. Prayers for all my June sleevers.

Good luck. I'm four days away.

I hope you feel better @Dreamscometrue15.
