Hello everyone,

I was sleeved on 11/15/2011 and so far I'm down 30lbs and I'm healing well with a little soreness. I'm walking 2 miles a day.

I would love to hear how all of the Nov. sleevers are doing. Are you still on liquids or eating solid foods, how much have you lost, are you back to normal, what are you doing for excercise? etc. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Hi all my 3 month anniversary was 2/22 and I am down 65 pounds.. I had been going to Zumba classes 3 timas a week and just being active since surgery I am much more energetic.. 1 thing I hate is hair loss is anyone having this issue???

But the good thing is that i can eat everything in very small portions but I feel great..

Congrats to everyone in our anniversary..cheers to the next 3 months..

Wow you're doing good!! Keep it up.

I'm so glad to see how great everyone is doing. My surgery was 11/4 and currently I have lost 55 lbs. I feel great. Only 46 more to go!! I'm ready for nice weather so I can get outside and walk, I love my new treadmill but I am ready for fresh air!! Again, its great to see how everyone else is doing and it seems like we are all in a similar range for loss which is very encouraging. Best of luck to everyone!!

Wow! It looks like everyone is doing great!

I was sleeved on 11/29 and I am down 64 pounds. I still struggle with getting in all of my water and protein. Until last week I was having a hard time with anything I would eat. Then it was like someone flipped a switch and it all got better. It was really strange. I really need to be better about my exercise too! I have gotten on the treadmill a few times, but I do need to step it up!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Surgery was Nov. 7th/11 and I am down 56 pounds...Very Happy Girl....

You all are doing great!! I have not weighed in a while. I'm down 50lbs I know and I happy. Keep up the good work.

This is my first post, I just joined today. My surgery was 11-14-11. Everything went well, no complications. I've never gotten sick from over eating, something I'm very proud of. I still struggle to get my water in but I have protein MASTERED!! I eat small portions several times a day. I keep track of everything I put in my mouth, right down to a stick of gum, religiously. I have almost met the 100 pound loss, now to maintain...ugh! I will find out just where I am on May 3rd, that is my 6 month appointment and the day they take my "after" picture. I feel great!! The best thing I did for myself, besides having surgery, was not to have a scale in my house. Stepping on the scale everyday is BRUTAL!! JUST SAY NO!! DON'T DO IT!! I hope you are all doing well!!

Hi Carol,

Welcome and congratulations with your success. We are not too far apart, my VSG surgery was 11/1, developed an abscess from the drain and had to have a second surgery gosh I almost forgot the date, it was on 11/16. I had ACELL treatments for 6 weeks but ultimately the wound healed and I have not looked back.

This is a great and supportive site, you will find many folks here willing to share experiences, triumps and tribulations. I just love hearing what people eat and sharing how we overcome obsticals. It is and has been my support since before surgery.

Keep up your fabulous work and here is to long term life change.

Sandy
