I was sleeved on 1/22/16 so I'm 5 weeks out. Pre Op Weight: 223 My surgery weight: 208.4 Current weight: 185

Congrats! That's awesome!! ????

I had surgery the same day. I'm down 26. I saw my doctor today and they said I am on track. I thought it'd be more as well. I've been in a stall for almost two weeks, for the weight on the scale. When I take my measurements I have still been losing. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App I wish I started out doing my measurements. I reached my stall at 3 weeks but I can tell I'm losing inches. Surgery: 1-22-16 Down: 21 pounds

Welcome! You will love this site. ????

Glad to hear everyone is doing well! I am still on full liquids and I'm ready for a piece of meat. Lol my NUT only emailed me a list of 3 things to eat. Oatmeal, grits, and mashed potatoes. She has told me this for 2 and 3 weeks post op diet. I really feel like I'm out here on my own trying to figure out what to eat, how much to eat and how many times a day I should be eating. ????

Hey! Anyone else had their sleeve done on 1-22-16? If so how are you doing at 3 weeks post op?

ChavezMommy the cravings are bad. I've found that I can crave something so bad but once confronted face to face with that food I don't want it anymore. I took my mom and daughter out for hibachi. I wanted the rice & steak dinner soooo bad but once everyones food came and I just ordered onion Soup. Once I started sipping I no longer wanted what they were eating. I was satisfied and proud of myself for sticking with my diet. My mom is not a big supporter of anything I do so its a very good feeling to go out and not get swayed to eating the bad stuff.

Hey! What was your surgery date and how much weight have you loss since that day? Me: Surgery date: 1-22 Down: 19 lbs

You can do it! ???? Sending positive vibes your way!

Hey girl! Good luck on your new journey! Your surgery day will be here before you know it! ????

Oh my I'm glad you commented! I now know someone I can come to for advice (if that's okay). Thanks for letting us know this will be better soon. My nightmare days were day 1 & 2 in the hospital. Once I came home every day has been better than the one before. ????

Thank you! We will get through all these weird symptoms and side effects together! ????

I have reached my one week post op mark and it's crazy how much my life has changed. My weight on the day of surgery (1-22) was 208 I am now 207. A total of 11 lbs down in one week. ???? My body: *I am still very exhausted from surgery. I do walk a lot but I have to coach myself a great deal before I get up and move. *Pain is still a issue however I stopped taking my pain pills three days ago. I don't like how strong the pills are so I either just take some OTC Tylenol or just deal with it. The shoulder pain is the worse and I'm still having pain when Fluid reaches my stomach. *Cold feet is now a new issue. Never had cold feet before but every single day and night since surgery my feet are freezing. Yesterday I started using a heating pad on my feet to keep them warm. *My arms seem to go numb after laying on them for a few minutes. I am constantly adjusting myself when laying down. *Lastly, the feeling that I'm hungry is becoming stronger every day. Today was really bad. I was almost at the point of crying because I felt so hungry but a few ounces of my Protein shake and I was better. Every day that I am successful with this life long diet is such a inspiration. It proves that my desire to be healthy is greater than my need for food. If I can do it you can do it too!! Good luck everyone!! ????

I can only image!
