Brenda I too was concerned about the fact that others seemed to be losing at a quicker rate than I and my surgeon and nutritionist both spoke to the higher your BMI is the quicker you will lose.

Sparkle777 how are you doing?

How's everyone progressing? My surgery was on December 8 and I'm 15.7 pounds down. Not too happy, feeling like it should be more.

Congrats!!!

????????????????????????

yes I have that same problem. But I like the lean and tones look versus flabby You're doing great. If you don't mind sharing what was your start weight?

Congrats!!! It will be here before you know it!!

Emilie sorry to Hear you had some troubles! For the most part I'm ok. I'm playing it safe with the amount of physical activity still but other than that I'm good. I'm walking, drank about 50 ounces of water today and some protein. No complaints.

How are you feeling so far?

Saying a prayer for everyone!! You will all do wonderful. I was sleeved on Monday and as of This moment I am down 10 pounds - even through the pain I know this was the best decision for me and my life. Best wishes!! Please update us when you're feeling up to it!

Congrats on getting your date moved up! I was just sleeved on Monday and I too feel so blessed to have my insurance approve it, giving me a new lease on life!

My husband is the only person that is aware of my decision and I will keep it that way as I I don't feel a need to announce my private health information to the masses.

Thank you Sophie! I was able to walk around the hospital with very little issue as well. Now that I'm home I seemingly feel less discomfort when I'm sitting up than I do laying down. My back is bothering me as well. Thanks for sharing!

I am doing well spirit wise, however k am struggling getting all the fluids in and I'm dealing with pain as well. I was trying not to take pain meds that often but will take some today. Are you still sore? In any form of pain?

Are you two still very sore?

Hope you are both doing well! I'm looking forward to hearing your updates.

After you were sleeved, how long did it take for the pain and discomfort to subside?

Best wishes. You will be fine. I just had mine yesterday and I'm home recovering now.

I just got sleeved yesterday, came home today around noon. Still tired and in some pain/discomfort. Finding a comfortable sleeping position is hard at this moment.

Thanks.

I just got home from the hospital a few hours ago. I'm so tired of sleeping on my back, but it hurts to try and sleep on my side. Did anyone else experience this? Any suggestions on do's and dont's as I enter this new phase in life?

I am one day post op! Looking for any suggestions you have...

You started down this road for a reason. The tumor should serve as an example as to one of the reasons that surgery would be of a benefit to you. Carrying excess weight increases our risk for cancer and other illnesses. If you opt to not go through with the surgery please make sure that is your decision and not others.

I have a Fitbit Aria wifi/Bluetooth scale that works with my Fitbit and I love it. It calculates weight and BMI and syncs to my Fitbit dashboard every time I weigh myself and charts the progress nicely.
