So, here I am, just a few days shy of 9 months post-op. Some of my favorite NSVs have been a surprise to me. Here are my favorites: 1. Having to buy new shoes. Who knew your feet would shrink. 2. Running a 12 minute mile. I hate running, but I had to try...just because I could now run. 3. Not having to expend mental energy every time I go to sit, stand, bend over, or any other physical activity I used to have to think about before doing it. 4. Being told by my Primary Care doctor that she didn't need to see me every 4 months any more, but just twice a year as I am now considered to be a healthy person with no issues. 5. Having a group of Firemen flirt with me in the grocery store. I looked behind me, because I was certain they were talking to someone over my shoulder. =) Seriously, at 50 this is quite the NSV. 6. sleeping through the night and waking up with energy. Loving my sleeve and so glad I had the surgery.

Great idea! I am almost 2 weeks post-op. As I am just starting out on this journey, I will be starting with 1 1/2 hours per week. My current weight is 241. My goal weight for 3/1/2016 is 228.

My weight as of 12/28/2015 is 241.

First weigh-in since my surgery. I currently weigh 247. "Squish", my new sleeve, is doing great!

I tested a bunch of different kinds and found that the pre-made Pure Protein tasted o.k. to me. I was grateful that after my surgery this week, that they still taste good to me, as I have over 32 12oz cans of it in my fridge. Pure Protein has 35 grams per can and only 4grams of carbs. I have tried three of the different flavors; chocolate, strawberry and banana.

Hi All, I was sleeved on Tuesday, December 15th. My height is 5'5" My starting weight was 282 I am currently at 249 I have requested to join the Facebook group. I look forward to getting to know you all!

I gained 6 lbs of water weight during my surgery as well. I lost 5 of it within the first 24 hours I was home. This was with my getting in 52 oz of fluids and two popcicles today.

I was expecting one, but after surgery my surgeon told me he did not have to use one on me. Thankful!

My surgery was 4 days ago. The things I used the most were: 1)Slippers, 2)Chapstick, 3)Robe, 4) Pillow from home, 5) My sister, she stayed the two nights I was in the hospital and was there any time I needed her.

As of 12/13/2015 I now weigh 253 pounds! My surgery is on Tuesday, so my next weigh-in will be with my new sleeve, which I am officially naming "Squish".
