I had the sleeve May 8th, I choose this surgery due to cost, recovery time, ect. I too have fibromyalgia, arthritis, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. I also have had little success in losing weight prior to surgery. My friend would lose 5lbs and I would gain 1 on the same diet and exercise program! Now I'm not going to lie and say it has been easy AT ALL! I have cried and felt horrible, it has been hard adjusting but I can actually see some results and I am already starting to feel better. After surgery I also decided to stop taking all my fibromyalgia medications in an overall goal to be healthier. It is still slow going but considering my difficult weight loss past not a big surprise. I am 5'7" prior to surgery I was 236 with a bmi of 38 have lost 36 pounds thus far and am hoping to see much much more success I have 36 pounds to go to reach my goal weight!

You look amazing! I am almost 1 month post op and often feel like I'm not doing "things" the right way and like I'm not losing gray enough, your story gives me hope! Keep up the good work and thank you! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app

I completely agree with hopefulvspgirl I bought so many protien shakes I couldn't stand them after surgery so a lot of $$ down the drain. I also me get used baby plates or cutlery. The one recommendation I have is probably TMI but I would have Monistat our some form thereof my doctor had me on so many antibiotics while I was in the hospital that I was miserable about 3 days in at home. Hope this helps! Best of luck to you! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you I did order the unjury just waiting to receive it. I think eating slowly is going to be a huge battle for me too I'm always in a hurry. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in the same boat, blood sugars are great but....not seeing much for results on the scale side! My surgery was May 8th. I am still having trouble finding things that agree with me and getting my protien in. [emoji53] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been having a lot of difficulty getting in my protien anyone else experiencing this? If I do yogurt I get sick and everything seems to be too sweet (even sugar free). I'm worried about healing without the necessary nutrients. Any suggestions? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BariatricPal mobile app
