Hi to all - I was sleeved on May 22nd and have lost 17 lbs so far!! Yeah! That includes the 5-day pre-op diet. I didn't feel like weighing myself when i came home from the hospital, or when I went in for the operation, either! I may be scale phobic!

I'm a little bit of a slow loser I think (which is okay with me). I lost 17 pounds in the two-week pre-op low carb diet but only 15 since surgery on May 3 and I haven't had any food that are cheat foods. As long as I see the scale going down two or three pounds a week I am totally fine with that. I expect a stall at some point and I'll power through it. I haven't added much exercise yet but have an appt. tomorrow with my NUT and Fitness Consultant. I think when I add some exercise in and get my calories up a little, I might see a larger loss, but who knows what my body is going to decide to do. So far, a little Peanut Butter is the only thing I've tried that has not agreed with my sleeve. One of the things I have noticed is that I am much more 'in tune' to what my body is telling me. If I am a little bit down on my Water, I get tired, so I up my H2O. I am pretty much able to gulp down water now too, so I can swig a glass before bed if I need to. I also had my best NSV ever and posted it in a different section. Put a pair of pants on and they promptly fell to the ground! My husband had to come in and see what I was laughing so hard at. I'm wearing clothes in my closet that I haven't worn for many years and other clothes that I wore that were tight now fit really well. It's such an incredible feeling and a great morale booster!

So today made a month I have been sleeved! I'm down 54.8lbs from HW and 21.3lbs since surgery! I don't regret a thing, not even the 3rd week stall that the CHEETOS possibly contributed to it ~ it only made me work harder! No way possible I could have done this without the sleeve!!

I was de-banded and sleeved this past Tuesday. Surgery was more extensive than he thought because of all of the scar tissue and he kept me 1 extra day. I came home late last night and man it felt good to sleep in my own bed with my 8 week old kitty curled up next to me. One thing I was surprised about is being able to sleep on my right side. I wasnt able to do that when my band was placed- I felt this horrible tugging when I tried to lay on my side. But I normally sleep on my right side so I know that helped with being comfortable. Can't sleep on my left side since I still have the drain in (ICK). I'm down 5 lbs since surgery but Im retaining a huge amout of Water too so I cant wait for the swelling to go down!

I am at a stall too, I think it is going to happen. It is just our body adjusting to the new liquids or foods I think.

Another plug for May 2012 Sleevers Facebook group!

It is a secret group so nobody can see the group, who is in it, or what we post!

Just friend me on facebook & then I will add you. Search for Sharon Ivanauskas.

We have 80 members now & it is going great!!!

I sent you a FR and would love to join the May sleeve FB group!

I just squeezed into the May sleevers group. I had surgery on May 30, 2012 so not much has changed. I love reading everyone's stories though as it is encouraging.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
