I'm 5 weeks out and went to have my blood work done today. I'm down 21 pounds and I feel good. I'm excited. I haven't been walking and exercising, but I'm going to start. I'm so excited and motivated. My starting BMI was 38 and I'm having great results. I love my sleeve.

Hooray for you! Keep up the good work!

Walking is fantastic! And if you're bored, you can walk with a friend. The time/distance just slips by and before you know it, you've gone a couple of miles (and burned a bunch of calories!).

And if it's really hot, you can always "mall walk". Just leave the purse/wallet in the car, or the walk becomes a shopping trip. With no exercise except opening the wallet and giving the credit card a workout!

msYoYo your name says it all - and I am so happy for you that you are doing well. Namaste!!!

Congrats, I'm 5 weeks out and it's been a bit rough, but today I was able to drink out a water bottle and it not hurt me. For some reason I take in too much air and today I passed a huge hurdle. It's hard to go out in public carrying a one ounce med-cup and I thought I was going to be on those things forever.
