    I have a nsv! I painted my toenails today!!!

  • 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

My surgeon said to expect a stall 3 or 4 th week, because you lose some muscle the first few weeks bc of the full liquid diet. He said once you start adding protein in ur foods and shakes, you gain some of that muscle back so you hit a stall. He said no fear, and to expect loss again the week after. So keep ur head up!

I'm not afraid of stall I don't think....I'm expecting them & soon too. I'm afraid of something more permanent.

I guess, like a lot of us, I'm just afraid that this won't work for me & be just another failure in a long line of failures.

No reason for it though. I'm doing great right now, it's just a worry at the back of my mind.

Hi ... May 2nd for me. :)

Sharon thank you for starting a "secret" Facebook group....i will send you friends request: Sandy Strandt Rudesill ...

It's my turn tomorrow!! Feeling pretty good right now, not nervous but excited about how things are going to be post op. BRING IT ON!!!

I'm pumped from reading all these post tomorrow is my day whoop whoop so excited just clear liquids today n magnesium citrate :-) tomorrow will be here before I know it

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.

Me too exactly! Same date/weight. Awesome.

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!
