Welcome! And best of luck with your pre-surgery diet and upcoming surgery. It figures your husband has lost more weight than you, doesn't it? My husband and I did WW together a few years ago. He lost 40 lbs and I only lost 7 lbs! Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!! LOL! Now I'm getting close to his weight (I'm 6'1", an inch taller than he is ) and he has been eating everything I leave behind. I am looking forward to the day I weigh less than he does!

I realized this morning that I weigh less than my husband for the first time in 27 years. He's 6'2" and I'm 5'4"! It feels really good, too :)

I've been stuck at 97 lbs for three weeks now. Not sure what I can do to make it to 100lbs since I've been very disciplined since I had surgery.

Hello 50's Sleevers! I was sleeved LAST year 10/25/12. Wt loss slower than i'd hoped but i'll take it. Sometimes I see new pic or when wearing new outfit, and wonder WHO is this person?!?! Never been this small. Almost no wt loss for over 4 months now. So frustrating! But, Need to get back on track and drink Water, etc. hair still falls out from time to time.

No regrets! Hope to get in the 190's eventually.

F/51 5'10

I was sleeved sept 10 this year. I'm really getting out and about again, walking, and just feel good. Starting weight 188 today 168 not much but it's okay I know what I need to do to lose better, walk way more and bring my bike back to my room. I've got 35 lbs to go I'm 5'3".

Next week I am going on my very first cruise I am really excited. I wish I were already sleeved and well on my way to my goal weight. I would love to look good but that didn't happen so I will go on my cruise enjoy my family and vacation and the food. When I get back I will prepare for my surgery which is scheduled for the 25th of November. This is a very exciting time in my life.

I am getting ready to go on a cruise and I was sleeved 5/15. But this definately is not my first one

I am just gonna eat meat and take a couple Protein Bars with me (just in case) and a bag of Jerky

I will be having one bite of the deserts at night.

And I am taking my workout clothes, gonna do the walk or the treadmill.

And maybe try a little alcohol.

Have fun it is your vacation

Hello everyone' date=' I am getting sleeved 3/14. I was wondering if my energy level will come back. I am 51 5'6 and weigh 254. I am tired all the time. Anyone?[/quote']our stats were almost identical. It took a good six months till I felt way stronger than pre op. I have a ton more stamina now, but I don't think I'll ever have the stamina I had in my 20s and 30s again. I was thin and fit and could go like a mad woman.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
