Hey Feb Sleevers, how is everyone hanging so far? I've lost almost 125 lbs since 24th Feb, and its going great.
Is anyone else starting to grow an appetite to nibble anything now and then?
Attached is a photo for my current progress.

This month is 6 months out now for us 2019 February sleeve Surgery twins!
How are we all doing? Any common problems? Everyone looking and feeling great?
I am down over 90lbs. and would love to lose another 25-30 lbs. - but as expected losing is getting slower.
Only negative issues for me so far;
1. I was really tired for a few months after surgery butt that is better now, much more energy than before surgery!
2. I have woken up several times at night choking on stomach acid. Not eating for a couple hours before bed, and we got a bed that props my head up a bit and that seems to have resolved that for the most part at home, however when I travel for work I tend to eat later, and stay in hotels where the beds are flat is certainly when I have the issue most often.
3. I do have some loose skin, but its not terrible...
4. I have thrown up a few times but only if I take my Multivitamin on an empty sleeve...

For the positives - I Look better, I sleep better, I feel better, I( have more energy, and many more!
I hope you guys are all doing great - let us know!

I was warned about working out and having to low of calorie count. Sometimes your body will stop you from loosing because you are burning to many calories from working out. I don't know what you are doing as far as a work out but make sure to consult your dr's and nutritionist. They maybe able to help you thru your stall.

Im under 200lbs for the first time since I've had kids!

Sleeved on February 1st, and down 72 pounds so far. I feel really lucky I have not encountered any major issues so far, just a few stalls.

I don't think I have yet, I didn't have all that much left to start with (being a 40 year old male, its thinning in front and my kids tell me I have a monkeys butt in the back) so REALLY hoping to avoid this. .

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK my fellow February Sleevers!

You are doing great! Everyone is different in this process. I lost 13 lbs in my first week but stalled the following weeks. I had to stop weighing myself and comparing myself to others progress. I was really getting discouraged. Then at my 8 week check up I found out I had lost 52 lbs since surgery. It blew my mind. Follow the process and you will see (YOUR) results. You are doing fantastic!!!!

I was sleeved on Feb 1st. It has been the biggest blessing to me. Thru the program that my bariatric dr has set up and I would say I've been very successful so far. My nutritionist stated that if I look at a label on food. I should be looking for single digits for carbs and single digits for sugar or carb free/ sugar free. I would contact your dr and see what they can do for you and get you on the right track.

I just got my surgery date today!!! Its February 1st!! 52 more days

How are my fellow February sleevers doing? Haven't heard much from you guys in awhile!
I'm 7 weeks out, feeling good, and adapting well to my forever diet.
I lost 22 lbs. on the 2 week pre-op diet, however I have only lost another 32 lbs. in 7 weeks post-op. But combined that's 54lbs. in 9 weeks and I'll take that!

My drs office gave me a suggestion right before surgery. Take your body measurements and pre surgery pictures. Then every month of your surgery Anniversary do it again. Track it for as long as you want. They said this is the best way to see results vs a scale sometimes. I started my journey at 325 lbs, my pre surgery weight was 281 lbs, I'm 1 week 4 days post op 263 lbs.

I'm enjoying the little things that my surgery has allowed me to do. I can bend over to tie my own shoes without getting out of breath. My clothes are getting baggy. I can cross my legs with ease. Little changes that I've taken for granted for so long. I even had co workers come up to me and say you look different. . .did you loose some weight? lol

On Day 11 of my liquid diet. It's been rough. I did semi cheat on day 8. . .I ate 4 bites of cottage cheese and then cried lol Feb 1st is so close. Tonight I am packing my hospital bag because my surgery is at 9:40 am on Friday. My husband bought me a shirt that says Downsizing in Progress to wear the day of surgery. lol He gets me haha I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. 8 months of hard work and 47 lbs already gone. Congratulations to all the Feb Sleevers!!!

My surgery date is Feb 1st. I start my liquid diet on Friday. Its right around the bend

I was sleeved on 02/01. My dr told me not to worry about calorie intake. Just focus on getting the Water intake and try to hit the Protein goal. They were more focused on me not becoming dehydrated. I'm up to 40-60 oz of water and I'm almost to my protein goal. I also have sf popsicle, sf Jello, strained Soup with added Protein Powder. Good Luck!!!!!!

Follow the liquid diet plan your drs have given you. I'm so happy I did. I had my surgery yesterday with no complications. It only took an hr and half. I'm extremely sore but I'm doing great. I will be released today. My dr was so pleased with how far I've come and in my recovery. My throat is sore so I've had popcicles and ice cold Water. That helps so much. I had some discomfort with heart burn in my chest and grogginess from anesthesia. I'm still pretty high from the pain killers they have given me so I hope this helps and makes sense lol Good luck guys! I'm in the biggest loser club!!

I had my surgery the 1st. Honestly I wasn't prepared for the pain. But I knew it would get better and I didn't have any regrets afterwards. I haven't had any hunger issues since surgery. Its quite an adjustment to taking lil sips and my body reminds me when I don't. I'm on an all liquid diet until March 1st then I can go to pureed stage. I'm so ready for something different since I've been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks now. My drs office takes our stages by month. But its been working I've lost 33 lbs since Jan 18th and over all 62 lbs. My body looks like I was in fight club but I'm feeling so much better.

I did 6 months of observation before I could have my papers submitted to the insurance. My insurance came back after a week. I called them every day to make sure they had my paper work and check the status. I was creeping hard lol hope you find out soon!

I just got my surgery date today!!! Its February 1st!! 52 more days

I'm not gonna lie, its not easy, but you got this! Mine is 2 weeks all liquid, its a struggle but stepping on the scale each day makes it worth it.
