I was sleeved 3/12. I've lost almost 30 lbs since! I haven't really hit a "stall" yet, but I guess it depends on age and so many other factors too.

Today I am exactly 4 weeks out. I was sleeved 3/12. I am down 22lbs! I can't believe it. I'm more excited about how I feel though. My energy is crazy, I'm so much happier, and the feeling of being full is amazing. It is something I have truly never experienced.
I can't wait to see what else this life change will bring me.

I'm on soft and only able to take in ~400 a day, but I get my 60 g of Protein in with that. If I had to eat any more than I do I don't think I could do it.

I've been eating chicken, ground Turkey, shrimp, fish, etc. Honestly, I must puree the food in my mouth. As long as you chew it well enough, it has the same exact result as blending it.

OMG, just had 2 ounces of wild cod and it was so good! This is a good choice for folks who don't like fishy fish. Its chewy like lobster, mild, and filling....

I'm so sorry! I had a rough recovery because I was allergic to the chlorohexidine prep they use from your chest to your pubic area before surgery. I was broken out in hives for the first two weeks. Then they found out I was allergic to the glue on my incisions, which made the irritation on them even worse. They're still not fully healed, but MUCH better.

Its also called Dynahex and Betasept, chlorohexidine is its generic name. The use of generic is a lot more prevalent these days because Brand Name is much more expensive.

It will! Just hold on. We all heal differently, all surgeons do the surgery different, some of us had more stomach removed than others, etc. Just keep on pushing through, because it is so worth it. I feel my clothes getting baggier and baggier every day!

The only opinions that should matter on this are yours and your surgeons. Having a BMI > 40 is extremely unhealthy, coming from someone with the same, and it is a necessity that you get your weight down. Get the surgery and ignore their comments. I'm not telling majority of my family for that exact reason.
Don't so the lap band. My cousin's band eroded her stomach and she was unable to eat. She had to get it removed and replaced by the sleeve. Most hospitals now don't do the band, or are phasing it out because it is proven to have a pretty poor success rate as in long term stability.

I had my surgery yesterday. I woke up after surgery so nauseous and in pain. I try heaved once. My throat is also bloody and swollen. My Dr. this morning told me when I woke up from surgery I was trying to rip the tube out of my mouth/throat, so I probably hurt myself. I'm doing better today. Painful on the left side of my abdomen, but I'm able to get up and walk. It took hours for my bladder to wake up yesterday. I couldn't pee, but am doing fine now.

That's my birthday! Good luck, you will do great! I go in on Monday and I can't wait. It's the start of a new life. And it will definitely help your career. I have a B.S in biology and I plan to move on to my PhD in the next 2ish years. I work in research right now and every day I feel like my skills and knowledge are belittled because of my weight. I can't wait to be able to progress and excel in my field of work, and not let the weight be the first thing people notice.
Sorry for the rant! I just feel like most people in the science/healthcare field get this!
