Hi! Im doing good....RNY May 7, blood work has come back good every time...still struggle just getting enough water... not because I can’t drink...sometimes I just forget... my heaviest was 401...I was 358 on surgery day...I am now 245. I feel like it has slowed down for me also...next apt is the 7th of May for my 1 year...

Hi All.
Hows it going? How are you guys feeling 10 months post op? Are you where you want to be? How have your goals stayed the same or changed?
I was sleeved on May 2 2018, and things have gone very smoothly for me, overall. I have lost 100 pounds, but Im afraid things have really slowed down for me. I haven't lost weight in the last month or so. I have been careful not to track my weight every day, or even every week so I don't become obsessed, but I have been staying around 189 consistently. The winter weather has kept me from being very active, and Im feeling a little bit down about it. Id like to keep losing, and obviously I know I need to get moving more.
Just wondering how things are going for my fellow May friends

That’s awesome!! I had surgery May 7. I was 358 surgery day, 8 pounds higher the day I left the hospital, I guess from Fluid and gas...today I was 322.

That's awesome! I'm still going through all the my dietician appointments. I had to do 12. Congrats!!! So exciting!!!

Thank you!!!

I just had my 2nd (and last) visit with Suzanne. I was shocked to get my surgery date right afterwards... October 8 (the day before my 37th birthday). My family was a little irritated by the date, but I'm thrilled. I can't imagine a better birthday present.

Feeling better now?

You'll be fine. I'm a worrier too. Just listen to your body. You'll be straight. Congrats again.

Today I could start introducing a few things. I could have loose mashed potatoes...but no milk (only almond, soy or lactose free skim), no cheese, bitter oil or margarine. So I made a small potato and used chicken broth and non fat Greek yogurt. They tasted pretty good. Of course that coming from a person that has been on clear liquid for about 2 weeks. (Surgery May 7)

Hi, I'm new to the site. I'm scheduled for May 21st! Very Nervous!

I had mine 5/7. I’m doing good. Getting around a lot easier every day.

Invite sent!

Surgery May 7th. Came home yesterday. Getting around easier today. Tummy is tender but no real pain. I do still have some gas issues...can’t seem to pass it at all...today i was to start 2oz Protein Shake 3x a day, that went well...I don’t think I’m getting enough fluid...I’m sipping, but I am afraid of sipping too much...I know the next 3 weeks are crucial and I don’t want to do anything wrong. I did try a sugar free popsicle earlier...I was initially afraid to do that...it went ok...I think it was gas I was feeling afterwards...just a tightening in the middle of my tummy...almost would remind you of a contraction...my incisions look good...a little bruising around one, but over all ok. Vitamins went down ok today...glad everyone’s doing well!! Excited to see how everyone is feeling a week from now [emoji4]

I’m 7 days out as of today and my recovery has continued to be remarkably smooth. I am definitely feeling physical hunger, especially in the mornings, that I wasn’t necessarily expecting. Happily, I think my body has finally let go of most of the extra IV Fluid that was pumped into me, and I dropped below my surgery weight. Helps psychologically at least.

i had my surgery on the 7th at home now just resting. Was sent home with oxygen.

Just got released....headed home.

Congratulations! How are you feeling?

Yay! I hope you're feeling as well as can be expected. Looking forward to joining you on the losers' bench in a couple of months.

I am SO excited for for you - best of luck!!!! We can't wait to hear how it went.

Hello Family,
Anyone going to the support group tonight at 6?

You got this my girl. I'm so excited for you. Time to be great! Good luck. Keep us posted!
