A week lol. Just take it easy

I would have given my soul for food lol but its all worth it! You can do it!

That's quite a dick comment. "Rare in Alabama" I've been on both coasts. There's all body types everywhere. And yeah, I was still pretty damn skinny in New York during Thanksgiving.

How are you all doing? I was sleeved December 15th. Hit a stalled from week 2.5 to week 4. Terrible!!!

I too was sleeved the 15th and I'm hungry also! But I know it's all in my head. I try to drink more when I feel like this, or walk the dog lol.

I'm 8 days post-op. I didn't have those issues exactly, but I had trouble getting all my Water in for about 3 days. I'd listen to what the nurse says also, just so you don't end up hurting yourself.

I was sleeved on 12/15 here in MD. The first day was so hard.. I was oit of surgery by 12:30, but in recovery until almost 5 because my vitals were low and I was in so much pain. I had a bad response to the anesthesia. I hardly remember anyone being there that day. Wednesday was a littlw easier, but still was in a lot of pain. Came home that night and thought I was dying. Thursday was bad too but yesterday was good and today was... great! I was able to clean up the house, do laundry, stack the dishwasher, made dinner for the family etc. But I am hungry! Is this normal!?

I'm 23 and am on month 1 of my supervised weight loss

Franklin square is a great hospital. I'll be at Upper Chesapeake

I wish all of who are waiting luck!!!! I think right now that is what I am most nervous about.

Just called BCBS Federal and I was APPROVED!!!! Wow that was a long wait but so worth it. The approval was done on July 21st so there must be a lag time from the time the decision is made to the time it is entered into the system. Yesterday this was not there and they had not mailed out an approval letter.

My bmi is 43.5 and I have 3 comorbidities. I had a EGD done a couple months ago. Thanks!

I was sleeved on 6/4. I was 5'11 418 on April 20th. I lost 45 on the pre op liver shrink diet. And as of today I weighed 330 which is a total of 90 lbs! Can't wait to see how far I can take this. Good luck everyone we can do this!

I was sleeved 6/15. I did two weeks on a pre-op diet. I am 5'1" tall and my high weight was 268. Surgery weight was 254 and my current weight is 238 so I am down 30 pounds overall. I have also lost 19 inches. I am currently getting in about 60-75 gr of Protein a day and 64 oz of Water and approx 700 calories a day. I have struggled to make walking a habit so I joined a gym today by my work. I will start going before work each day. I am still on soft foods but I am adding more foods each week. I am very pleased!

I am in Maryland also. 5 foot and 225 lbs, but I am 23. What doctor are you using

Yours are awesome! How has this journey been for you? I'm nervous but I cannot wait!

I'm new here and wanted to express how I am feeling with what seems to be a great support group!!!
I am only 23 years old and meeting with my surgeon on August 6th for a 4 hour long appointment. Meeting with him, behavioral analyst, program coordinator, dietician, and an exercise specialist. I am ready for this! Being overweight my entire life, and coming from a huge Italian family where food is everything, I have never been able to lose weight and keep it off. I have tried different programs (WW, Jenny Craig, Omnitrition) as well as attending a weight loss clinic and wasting thousands of dollars. The breaking point for me was going to the gym, everyday for 2 hours with my boyfriend for a year. We ate right, did the gym thing... he lost 86 lbs, and I didn't lose one. My doctor finally referred me to the surgeon after documented failed attempts.
I was interested in Lap Band, but after my first info session, I am being recommended for the sleeve. Can anyone tell me about their experience?
Like I said, I am excited to be comfortable with my self. Happy that I have the support from my family and friends that I do. But nervous, as this is a huge decision.
