hi to my fellow sleevers,

i am so happy i finally decided to get sleeved. Surgery went without a hitch. Spent 2 nights in hospital. DH took a week off to be with me at home. I didn't really need much help - shhhhh i wasn't going to tell him that..

I was a little tired, some gas. Walked around periodically helped alitte.

The Protein shakes weren't too bad, not the greatest

No mushy stage, that was great.

i went to soft foods, then onward, and now i am l afraid to eat too much. Use the popular atage, eat what you should, and then stop one bite earlier! I do use the medicine cup still.

So far so good with everything. No real complaints. Except as many say, "I wish I had gotteh the sleeve earlier"

6 weeks out and 28 lbs. down.

your sleeve buddy

Love being 199 and hitting ONEderland in 10 days!!!!!!!!!

Don't love the constipation.

That's great! I'm right behind you. I think I'd be there if I didn't gain ten in Fluid at the hospital. Congrats!

Congrats! Looks like you are working it, way to go.

I also happen to be a sleeve lover.... :Banane59:

I am so grateful for a successful surgery w/ no complications!! I was down 6 lbs on my 1 wk post-op follow-up. I am still on liquids & soups, nothing solid yet, but have actually felt hunger. That surprised & worried me. I have 100+ lbs to lose & want this to be successful. I've been told that once I restart solids I'll notice my food limitations a lot more & that it's not unusual for the liquids to pass very easily. Yesterday I had 3 protein shakes, a single serving each of yogurt, soup, & oatmeal over the course of the day. It's nothing compared to what I used to consume, but I worry I have too much capacity this early on (only 2 wks post-op). I have started back exercising pretty regularly too... Overall I'm grateful. Just a bit of a worrier...

I love my sleeve also... best decision i've ever made. was 219kgs when i had my sleeve done on 5th dec 2011 and now im down to 190kgs. Am due back to see my surgeon tomorrow for the first time since surgery so i hope he is as happy as me. i really find these forums so full of inspirational people. it is great to hear everybody elses stories and i have learned so much from them.
