I'm 62 getting sleeved on 8/8/16. Started at 253. Before sugery 233. Today 2 months out 196.6. Down about 57pds. Feel great. I have had 2 stalls so don't get discourage. One was for almost 3 weeks after surgery. Just got off another one for almost 2 weeks. Just keep working the program and watch your Protein and Water. We all will loose at different rate depending on alot og things going on with our bodies. Please be patient.

I had my sleeve 8/8/16. I'm down about 53pds, but I have alot of pain between my shoulder blades. I always had alot of lower back pain, never there. Not sure whats going on.
I'm down 1/2bp med. Not having any trouble getting down Protein or Water.
I do use an exercise bike 7days a week 1/2 hr to one hour on weekends. Plus walk at work 8,000 steps. I was on a three week stall at week 3, and pretty sure I'm in another one. Hope this will help people. Down 2 sizes.

I have heard people commenting on people having back pain between there shoulder blades. Could anyone shed light on this. How long did it last, and what did the Dr's say about this. The pain is severe at time. I've always had lower back pain, but this gets real bad at work. I have to take some pain meds to get comfortable at work.

Congrats. I had mine on 8/8/16. I am 62 years old. I started at 253. I was about 233 at time of surgery. I'm down to 199 since then. Best choice I made. Haven't been this low in over 20 years. You won't regret doing it.

I also am in week 6 and I 've been on a 6week stall for about 2to 3 week. Finally, this weekend I started to loose again. I was down 48 between before sugery and before my stall, but then nothing. In the last 3days I 've lost 3pds in them. I guess my body had to get use to for first amount lost.
Just stay with your diet and exercise and it will move again.

My Dr does the leak test while your still in surgery. The Water will get easier. My surgery was 8/8/16. I'm able to get my 64oz down. Try room temp Water.< /p>

I'm 62 and just had my 8/8/16. Just saw my surgeon today and everything is just fine. I've lost 43 pds since starting journey first of May.
The big shocker to me today was he told me when he got back the pathologhy report, it seem I had a cancerous tumor that was self contain in the stomach part they took out. He then stated had I not had the surgery I would have never know about this until too late. I truly feel blessed for this surgery.

I had my sleeve on 8/8/16. I'm 62 yrs old and don't no why I waited to it sooner. Just tryed myself for a long time. Saw my surgeon today for first time. He told me something that truly made me thankful I did this.
When my pathoghy report came back from the stomach removal they found a cancerous tumor self contain. He said probably if I had not had this surgery the tumor would have grown much bigger and spread. He had never had this happen. I truly felt like the Lord was with me in this journey. Being very thankful.

I had my sleeve on the 8th as well. Yesterday, was my first day I could get both Protein and Water amount down. Still real sore, but I 'm able to do my biking from my chair and it doesn't hurt. This makes me feel like my old self again. Not feeling alot of energy through.

Had my surgery done on 8/8/16. It's been 5 days and still quite sore, but not extreme pain. Been working on getting Protein and Water in. Had an awful experience in hospital with pain control. One nurse working night shift decided she would only give extra strenght tylenlol for pain management even through I was suppose to get more. My surgeon was not happy next morning. Other than that everything has been great a home. Can't wait for my journey to continue.

I'm 5 days out today. I hardly have any pain, and I can now get all my liquids in. Today, is the first day I feel like myself, but a better self. I have not gotten on the scale yet. I fiqured with all the pain meds and other drugs it's not a true weight. I'll wait a while. Hope all is going well with everyone else who was sleeve on monday.

You might be on a stall. I had my surgery 8/8/16. I've already had 2 stalls. One for 3 weeks right after surgery, just getting off a 2 week stall. Everyone weight loss is different. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Make sure your Protein is at least 60a days, and Water at least 64. I find the 2 Snacks a day are imporant to get your Protein in. I use light baby bell, or light &fit greek yogurt. Protein will fill you more and keep you going. Don't get discourage just stay your coarse, and the weight will come off. Don't forget to weight everything and log your food somewhere to always know where you are for tge day. Hope this help you to know your not alone and be patient.
