I am 7.5 month post op. I am feeling great! I started at 258 lbs. and am now 180 lbs. I am down 78 lbs. I have 15 lbs. to go until I am at my goal weight. We will see if I want to go further than that once I get there.

Congrats on the weight loss! I am 6 weeks out and 40lbs down! Praying to be under 200 soon!!

I am now 4 months post op. I am down 61 pounds since surgery. Weight loss has slowed down but I am still losing, so I'll take it. I am 32 lbs. away from my goal weight. I am so happy! I am able to wear cute clothes and not hide all my fat all the time. Yes, I still have fat to lose but I'm feeling more comfortable in my skin. Best decision I have made was to get the sleeve. I drink 1 to 2 Premier Protein shakes everyday. Try to get at least 60 oz. of Water a day. I eat 3 to 4 meals. meat being the biggest portion (3 oz.) then a couple tablespoons of potatoes, or veggies. I take 2 Multivitamins a day and 1 Biotin pill. Hair loss has started Not horrible but I can notice it. So I am hoping the biotin will help.

I had surgery on Monday, April 24th and went back to work on Thursday, April 27th. I have a desk job as well. I was a little tired but felt fine.

I had my surgery March 29 and I am right there with you and the hard boiled egg. I eat one every morning for Breakfast. The best part is taking it to work so I don't add any time to my morning to eat breakfast. I never ate breakfast before surgery but now if my body doesn't get food within an hour of when I wake up, I feel pain. I love that my body literally forces me to eat breakfast because I can get so lazy without a body clock reminder. I eat like a baby nowadays, every three hours. I eat so much meat and dairy so that I can get my Protein in and I don't even miss the foods I can't have anymore.

Today is 3 weeks post surgery. I feel amazing. I am down 28 lbs. People are noticing that I am losing weight and telling me I look good. That makes me feel so good and encourages me to stay on track as well. My clothes are getting baggy and I may have to search in my closet for some smaller sizes soon. 1 hard boiled egg mixed with 2 teaspoons of light miracle whip fills me up. The feeling is a weird feeling when your full but I am getting used to it. How are other post op's doing with weight loss?

Thank you. I am so happy I had the surgery. I am down 24 pounds now. The surgeon just said nausea is a very common side effect from this surgery. It lasted for 2 days and then went away with the help of the medications. It is amazing at what small quantities of food fill you up now. Good luck with your surgery.

It is so worth it! I was supposed to be sleeved on May 2nd but they moved it up to April 24th. I was very nervous and excited but am so happy I went through with it. I am down 20 lbs from last Wednesday. I am assuming a lot of it has to do with still being on liquids but still happy about it. The biggest problem right after surgery was the Nausea. Now its the gas pain but gas x chewables are helping along with walking. I am back to work and feeling pretty good. I haven't had to take any pain medication since 7pm the day of my surgery. My surgery was at 11:45am. Good luck to everyone preparing for surgery. You won't regret it!

I was sleeved on Monday, May 24th. I am 3 days post op now. I haven't had any pain. I had horrible nausea from surgery until last night. Also, I have had gas pains every time I take a sip of Water or crystal light. I went to rite aid last night and bought some gas X chewables to help. Hopefully this side effect stops soon. But I'd say with 0 pain I am pretty lucky!
