Yes I do I had my surgery on the 10/24 and I was worried I had stretched my stomach but after a while I got used to fixing my plate smaller so now I don't get that full filling

@@matthewsmiguy the secret is that you need to control the portion of your food, eating healthy, I'm doing exercise, and drink all my Vitamins and Proteins. That's it. You can do it. If I can you can! Good luck.

Just wondering how my fellow October sleevers are doing.
Mine was Oct 3rd so I am just over 8 weeks out. I'm doing well and feeling really good. My only issue is that eating is a challenge. I am supposed to be on "regular foods" but find myself defaulting to soft foods all day. meat is really hard to tolerate now. I love steak and I had tried it two weeks ago and it was amazing. I tried it last night and it came back up. I am rarely hungry anymore. I kinda miss normal food in general.
I have to remind myself to drink my fluids. I have been bad about that! I have been drinking coffee in the morning, because coffee is life, lol.
I love going into stores and seeing what sizes fit. I started at a 20 and now am comfortable in a 14, and I have my sights set on that 12 for Chistmas
My husband is flattering the hell out of me lately. Always telling me how slim I am getting. Of course he is exaggerating but I'll take it :-)
How is everyone else doing? Holiday concerns? Success?

Forever. If you drink with your food the Fluid pushed the food thru your sleeve. Increasing your capacity will increase your calorie intake and you will start gaining weight.
I have to ask. Where did you have your surgery? Didn't your surgeon or a nutritionist explain this to you before surgery?

6 weeks now I thought I gained my weight back but I went to the Dr today and I am still the same 360 I lost 45lbs right after surgery nothing since

Yes that's why I believe I must have stayed on the liquid too long and went straight to soft foods and I skipped over to purge food do you think that would make a difference in weight loss

welcome, welcome to the board
405 to 364 lbs - that's great
down 41 lbs within 2 week period after surgery
you're already considered a "big loser"
as long as you are following your doc/nuts rules
you are doing everything right
i'm sure you are drinking plenty of Water (64 oz?)
Protein, etc
the weight WILL come off in its own due time
some people leave the hospital with a weight gain
(IV solution/water) others haven't lost at all
never compare yourself with others
you are taking in such a little amount of calories in
you can't help but lose weight
don't stare at the scale all the time
weigh once a week if you can control yourself
otherwise, hide scale from yourself
good luck bud
you are doing great
