How are all the September sleevers doing I’m two weeks post op and have lost 20 pounds I’m so excited. I’m allowed scrambled eggs and purées but I’m happy with Protein Shakes and Water water water. How are you guys doing I’m so proud of everyone here!!!

I am 1 week post op also from the endoscopic sleeve. Lost 11 lb since surgery and 16 lb overall including the pre op 2 day liquid diet. Surprised the heck out of me! Anyhow....I did the eating out thing yesterday and like you, I sipped on the broth of some amazing chicken noodle Soup. My husband had a coupon for 2 free buffets for the casino we went to so no damage done $$ wise either! Felt proud that I could walk into that temptation and still stick to it!

I am 1 week post-op today. Down 7.2 pounds since surgery (not counting the Water weight I gained in the hospital and had to lose to get to pre-op weight). So I'm feeling good about that. Really trying hard to NOT compare my weight loss to anyone else's. I know my journey is my own, whether or not we've had the same surgery. Aside from that I'm feeling good. Bored at home, trying to keep moving to avoid clots. Have to give myself another week of injections (Lovenox) which I absolutely hate, but don't want a clot. My left major incision hurts when I try to lay on it still, but I can sleep comfortably on my right side so I've been back in my bed for a couple nights now. My drain incision has been bugging me a bit lately, but that drain removal the day after surgery was literally more painful than the rest of this. Per surgeons orders, I am back on my pre-op diet again until 1 month post-op to allow my stomach a chance to really heal. The only change is that we are allowed watery cream of wheat and watery oatmeal. Yesterday I tried Cream of Wheat and that wasn't good. Felt majorly gritty going down and caused diarrhea. I'll try that again in about a week or so. I really, really want refried Beans with cheese and salsa and sour cream. I feel like I'll be able to eat that for every meal. Overall, I'm so glad I did this. I would be lying if I said I wasn't wondering why I didn't participate in some Mukbang before I did this though. I'm sort of mourning the fact that I won't be able to eat those large portions again. But at the same time, love that I can't. I've been wanting to be a "sleever" with a tiny tummy and a tiny portioned meal for a long time, and I'm finally here. I guess i t won't fully feel real until I try eating regular foods again. But I am going to a restaurant for the first time today, and I'm going to order French onion Soup and ask for no bread or croutons and no cheese and then I'll just drink the broth. I can live a normal life even when on the liquid part of my diet.

I had my surgery on the 12th. Spent one night at the hospital and was able to go home. For the most part I'm ok. Having trouble with getting enough liquids mainly cause I hate the sipping, lol. Overall I feel good. Walking as much as I can. Down 12 lbs since surgery!

Hi all I’m new here I have been approved by my insurance and will have surgery on September 12th I’m excited to embark on a new journey!! I’m a bit scared since this will be my first real surgery and I hav to spend a night away from my kids... Anyone else with September surgery dates.

Progress pics.....yay! I'm glad I'm finally able to say I have some!!! Here goes nothing....1st pic I'm down 14 lbs (pre-surgery), 2nd pic 31 lbs down, and most recent today 45 lbs down!

Sounds like something you need to explain to your husband, you might come up with a healthy compromise.

Sexually there are other things that can be done without the need for another person. But this path is entirely yours.

But I myself would rather leave before I cheat.
