  • Just a note, that if you want to chat on facebook, we have a secret facebook group going on there! It is called May 2012 Sleevers. It is a secret group, so nobody can see the group, nobody can see

    I was sleeved May 10. Lost 15 pounds on the pre-op diet and 21 more since. Feeling great and no complications at all. Did a 7 mile bike ride this morning and then ate 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast

Hi May sleeve buddies! Sleeved 5/21 and was hoping to lose 25 lbs in first month (had seen a number of folks at my starting weight/age who seemed to avg 20-25lbs). 4 days and only 2 more lbs to go to meet my goal! SW 250 (day of surgery), CW 227, 5'7". So exciting to see everyone's progress. Hope everyone is recovering well. Would be interested...what's your top tip you'd want to share? Mine is my newfound love of "bites" (aka crust less quiches) made somewhat famous by emilybites.com and theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. I made my own version of buffalo chicken bites this week and am in heaven. You can see my recipe on my blog if curious. What's your fave tip?!

Getting there. Everyday I feel a little better, getting out of the house helps A LOT. Swam over the weekend. Felt like a million bucks in the pool, slept like a baby lol (: we have to meet up again!

I was sleeved on 5/17/12. I'm down 43lbs. I'm still on the Soft Stage and do to graduate to Regular food on July 7th! Yay!!

I still get a little burning/sore sensation to the right of my larger incision. Doc says it's where they stitched my stomach internally and it's still healing.

I was told I can start swallowing pills but I'm scared. I'm deficient in Vitamins A, D and Iron. I start taking the Vitamin D soft gels on Monday!! Gulp!

It's still a challenge to get in my fluids.

I feel amazing. No pain, I walk, I stand with no problem. I'm so happy I did this!!
