It is definitely a lifestyle change, you fall off the wagon sometimes but the key is to get back up. I continue to listen to my stomach when it is full I stop. I have zero regrets and have not experienced complications since. Very content with my results. SW:287 CW:167

I workout atleast one hour 5 days out of the week; and its just walking, jogging and very light weights. Every body is different you will get there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can say I have zero regrets so far. It gets tough and yes you have to be strong but at the end it is all worth it. Looking good and feeling great has never felt like this. I have lost a total of 53 pounds and I hope to continue on this healthy path. SW 287 Surgery day: 271 Cw:234 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations on this big accomplishment, I do have one question when you say revert back to old ways how long after surgery. I am 2 months post-op and have lost a total of 53 pds. But I feel tempted sometimes to eat things I should not. It is extremely difficult. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, I was sleeved June 9th 2016, tomorrow will be one week post-op and I have my follow up with my surgeon as well. I have done well so far, my first day out of surgery I had nothing to eat or drink. The day following surgery I had sf Jello, crystal light and water; my stomach did well to hold it down. I am continuing a liquid diet for two weeks including broth, sf jello, sf popsicles and drinking lots of liquids and Protein shakes. I have only experienced soreness mainly on my left hand side in my abdominal though the pain has slowly gone away I still continue to feel discomfort while getting up from a flat surface or bending (auch). I have not experienced any nausea and try to sip at a slow pace measuring my liquids and broth as well to avoid it. My weight loss journey has just begun and I hope my sleeve helps me regain my life back. Being able to feel healthy, with energy build up my self-esteem and dress with clothing that I desire to wear as well, with discipline and commitment anything is possible. #StayingStrong HW-287 CW-268 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a lot of support from family and friends and exited for what this new life has in store for me after surgery. My main concern would be life after surgery; would I be able to cope with such a drastic change, I am completely healthy my only issue is my weight hoping I can continue my healthy life without any complications and of course food! I hope to have outings with friends and be able to choose healthy foods with out any issues. Maybe once I begin to see results I will become self-motivated and choose healthy choices! -Exited yet Nervous -Leaving everything in gods hands Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
