Just a quick update. I just finished week 8 post-op. It hasn't been easy. I struggle with getting my required fluids and Protein on a daily basis. Everyday is a learning process but I'm glad to be on the journey. I lost 15 lbs pre-op on my 7 day liquid diet. I have lost 35 since surgery 8 weeks ago. I did have a 2 week stall on my third week. My favorite thing to drink is ice cold Water....I hated water before surgery. I haven't started a work out routine yet. I'm trying to find the energy. I'm posting my progress pics, please forgive the horrible hair as the pics are taken before I get ready for work.

Wow! You are slimming down fast! Thanks for posting this. It is great to be able to see so many people having such success. I can't wait for my sleeve!

It is just so hard to believe the weight loss but I can't stop dreaming, thinking that could be me in the following year. Keep it up. Want to see more pics as you progress.

I can really see a huge difference!! Way to go!! Can't wait to join you as a sleeved sister!!

Thanks everyone. I'm finally starting to see a difference. It's hard to tell while you're going through it at first. I think it took me at least 35 lbs before there was any significant change in my clothing size. I wish everyone luck on your journey. It is definitely worth it.

Great job Tamboo!!! Thanks for posting your check-in... I certainly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

For me I only see the progress in my photos. I rarely see it just by looking in the mirror. Strange huh?

Keep up the great job.

You are looking good! Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your progress.

Wow, look at your progress! Thanks for posting your pics!!

Wow! To see pics like that really tells the story! What an inspiration you are! Keep it up - you are inspiring us all!

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op, and smack in the middle of a 2-week plateau. I too lost 15 on the pre-op diet, and now love ice cold water! I hate that I've stalled, but it's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one and that it will happen. Even though I'm very disheartened now, I'm going to try like heck to get the losing kick-started again!
