The barium swallow came back ok- fluids able to pass through the sleeve even though it's in the hiatal hernia. I am cleared to try and eat. [emoji3]

5 months

I decided to try on my before clothes that I wore before surgery. I haven't touched them since I came home from surgery. Needless to say, it made me realize there is quite a difference.
I'm not where I need to be but grateful I'm not where I came from!

Wow, you guys have done incredible! I had my surgery 4/24 of this year, so it's neat to see you guys just had your one year and you've lost an obscene amount of weight. So, how does the restriction feel a year out? Is it harder to stay on plan?

I'm well on my way.♡

Haven't posted on this site for almost a year. I was sleeved 03-16-16 by Dr. Laura July in Minneapolis, MN. No complications. The last year has been wonderful. I started at 270lbs in October 2014. On surgery day I was 250lbs. As of today I am 158lbs at 5'7.

Sorry, but I can't stop sharing this ****. Every time I look at it, I am like WOW, I'm actually doing this ****. I am actually changing who the hell I am.

Just an update for whoever wants to know: Sleeved on 3/28 - 6 months out as of 9/28. These are just my personal experiences, it may vary from individual to individual. Also, I do not know the long term effects, these are just the immediate effects. (please no judging, I am writing this to try to help people, not get berated)
Weed: Same effect as pre-surgery. Still get high, but also still get the munchies. Make sure you do not give into temptation because you may overeat. I was a lightweight pre-surgery and still am after so not sure if quantity makes a difference.
Coke/Molly/E: same effect as pre-surgery. Watch out for quantity. Your body will process this much quicker then before because of your smaller stomach. Be sure to stay hydrated. Do not need to worry about eating, because you will have no appetite.
Alcohol: same effects as pre-surgery. Watch out for quantity at first. As you drink more, you may notice your tolerance will go up, not quite as much as pre-surgery. But I can go out and have 6 drinks easily without getting sick. I just end up tipsy/drunk depending on how fast I drank, how much Water I drank, or if I ate a few hours before drinking. Also what I drink - wine or mixed drinks. I stay away from beer and carbonated mixers. That still upsets my stomach.
Cigarettes: same effects as pre-surgery. I quit then started up a couple months after surgery. Would not recommend smoking because it does more damage in the long term. Wish I would never have picked it up again.
Hope this helps. Again, I just want to say I am not endorsing these behaviors, just sharing my experience.
