I found myself gaining weight. My exercise and my portions were ok, but I am drinking too many high sugar alcohol drinks. I just went back to basics, drinking Protein Shakes and clean food. I need to cut the alcohol and track my meals. The only way I can do this is being accountable about what I am really doing and stop consuming (or drinking) empty calories.

I live in Manhattan. My surgery was 6/28/15.

By the time I decided to have the sleeve, I told my loved one and answered their questions and listened to their concerns. For me it was important to have them on my side. After that no one else matters. I am very open, so the day before the surgery I sent an email to all my friends and coworkers telling them about the surgery. I stay away from negative people. I respect their opinion but I don't care about it.

Sharing your decision is very personal. You need to do what feels right for you. Surround yourself with people that love you and respect you. And stay away from toxic people.

Hi everybody. I was sleeved on June 29. I lost 10 pounds pre-surgery and 25 post. I have been miserable with the pureed food stage. I have a lot of heartburn and I feel "the bubble" all the time. The worst part is the vomiting. I am going back to drinking shakes for a couple of days because I hate vomiting.

I feel the same way.

Today went to dr for first post surgery check. My surgery was June 29 and I already lost 30% of my excess body weight. Next week I start pureed food and I am really looking forward to Beans and cheese.< /p>

Tomorrow is the big day!

Good luck!

June 29 8s my surgery. I am so happy and nervous.

Thanks everybody! I am super happy, and getting ready for surgery.

I am supper happy. I am having surgery on June 29!
