It's been one month and I feel great! I've already lost 27 pounds, have more energy, seem happier, (even ask my husband...LOL) and am enjoying the thinner me.

I have had a few days were my weight will jump up a pound, then go down a pound or even stay the same but my body is still trying to figure out what I did to it! I know I am losing inches because I can get into clothes I couldn't before. I can actually either zip or button things I couldn't a month ago.

I also have a thyroid problem that made it hard to lose weight. I lost more in the last month than I did dieting all last year! This was one of the best things we could have decided to do.

Best wishes to all and hopefully you feel as great as I do! :thumbup:

Glad to hear of your success so far. My sleeve date is close to yours. I was sleeved on 5/25/10. I have currently lost 17 pounds. My clothes aren't feeling so tight anymore lol it feels so good to actually be able to button something up without straining and sucking in your gut! Last night I actually was able to remove my shorts without unbuttoning/unzipping them! Oh what a nice feeling that was!

I took have an underactive thyroid, so I have battled this weight for yrs.

Im having alot of heartburn that I hope will eventually go away. Other than that, things are great!

For the first time ever in my life I am so aware of everthing I put in my mouth and the nutritional value of it...This is clearly one of the best things I have ever done!.

Good luck to you!

Congratulations! Sounds like you're doing great!

How many calories are you getting in each day? Are you counting carbs?

I am consuming approx. 800 cal. a day. Trying to take in at 60-80 g of Protein. Keeping the carbs and calories low.

I couldnt stand the taste of the chewable vitamins that I bought from my surgeon, so I am currently taking the Centrum chewables, plus the sublingual vit B.

Im trying to take in 64oz of Water, but I have to admit, some days I dont get it all down.

I haven't really been counting anything to be honest. I have had chicken, tuna, scrambled eggs, hamburger, things like that. I eat until I feel like I'm feeling full...(which isn't much) I bought a whey Protein powder from GNC and use that in milk.

We went out to eat Breakfast and I ordered 1 scrambled egg and a side of sausage. (The side was 3 links). I ate the egg, 1 sausage link, and stole 1/2 piece of hubby's bacon. I gave him one sausage link and brough the other one home with the orange slices they put on your plate.

Can I ask what you are following? I'd like to know if I should be doing something better. Thanks.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
