You look great! You are two inches shorter than me and I started at 220. Thanks for the inspiration.

Enjoyed our post.

Yes, I agree, start later, pureed foods like baby food. I will eat baby fruit stuff next week. Then after that its soft foods.

It will get better, I was sleeved on the 27th too and I can't eat soft foods until the fourth week. I wish I could, I start pureed foods on MOnday.

I am one week post op and I revised from the band to the sleeve, the pain was not that bad, the incisions hurt a little more because they have to cut a little bigger to remove the band first, and then do the sleeve. Today I have slight pain from the incisions. The restriction feeling does not bother me, because I was already used to the lapband. The weight loss is much better than the band, I had my band four years, lost 71 pounds on it, and gained back about 35. I was 230 on the preop diet before the sleeve, 220, before surgery, and at one week I am moving toward 200. There will be some heatburn, nausea, but i felt that with the sleeve for years. I think you are making a good decision.

We are educators, and that is quite young, especially if you said she was not overweight. I have known a child since the fourth grade that is overweight (bigger than most women) and she is about 13 now, I would recommend it for her. However, my daughter is 14 and is medium size, but not big at all, she better not even think about it (she has the cutest figure). Don't want to judge, either but when it comes to age appropriate it must be necessary.

Congrats!

Hi, I had my surgery on the 27th too, and the gas pains are still here when I swallow. However, I take my meds if they linger more than 5 minutes. You will feel better soon, we can do this!

Keep it up, I am going to pull out my oldies but goodies video tapes and DVDS. You pushed me to it. LOL!

Lol, i did the same thing

Powerful, and I recieve it. I truly needed that, surgery is right around the corner. If he brought me to it he'll bring me through it.

Love your postings.

That's great!, Congrats on the weight loss.

amen.
