Hi all - 1w post sleeve, down to 258 from max 286. Trying to figure out how men’s shirt sizes (and suit sizes) will change as weight loss continues - how much weight translates, generally, t a change in shirt size or suit size?

Good luck skinnygirl1984! Just remember, even if you feel kinda miserable the first couple days post-op, you won’t always feel that way - it gets better quickly!

Apparently very common gully90 - the shoulder pain is "referred" pain from irritation (gas or just post-op) of the diaphragm on that side. Gas-x chewables helped some for me.

I was sleeved 6/1. First two days were miserable - really was wondering what the heck I did to myself! But feeling better, tolerating full liquids, walking 10k steps/day, no hunger pangs or intense cravings, pain basically gone, and losing weight rapidly!

This is lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome - it's a sensory nerve that gets affected by either rapid weight gain or loses. It's common, and harmless (but annoying)

Had my sleeve 6/1 and am recovering quickly! The first couple days were miserable - was wondering if I'd ever feel normal again. But I'm drinking full liquids, waking 10k steps a day, and losing weight rapidly.
