I was sleeved on 2/14/12. I've had no problems at all post-op. It seems like I can eat pretty much anything I want to eat. I haven't tried rice yet because I am also a little scared of rice. Sometimes

I'm 1/30, so not technically a Feb. 12 sleever, but I feel I bonded with you guys pre-op because my original date was 2/6 (got bumped up). Life is feeling pretty normal, albeit a new normal. I feel
I was sleeved 2/6/12 so I'm close to hitting 2 months out. I've lost 33lbs so far with absolutely NO exercise (I had some serious post op complications but now I can get back into the swing of things!), no low carbing, and not being afraid to have a bite of cake or a few M&M's. It seems like a lot in terms of actual numbers- but at the same time I feel a little disappointed that it wasn't MOOOORE! I was hoping to have lost 50lbs by the 13th but I think I'm just going to have to accept that because of the diet choices I have made and will continue to make, my weight loss is going to be slow and steady as opposed to rapid and thrilling.
I still haven't dropped any clothing sizes yet but I can feel I have a little bit more room in certain shirts. Pants don't feel too much different yet
All in all I feel great. I can eat anything I feel like eating (except for rice. For whatever reason I am scared to death to even attempt to eat rice of any sort so I've completely axed that from my diet!) and have really good restriction. I can no longer sip Water during a meal because it REALLY hurts! At first it didn't bother me in the least so obviously as my sleeve heals I'm getting a greater and greater sensation of fullness.
How are my fellow Feb sleevers doing??
