Hey folks, I am new here. I was sleeved in CO by Dr. Chae on July 17. I am down 17 lbs since surgery with zero complications. I can barely even tell I had it done, save for the lack of energy, scars and feeling full much faster.

I also got in decent cardio shape and lost 38 lbs from April-July before the surgery, which I am very glad I did. I attribute the smooth surgery and recovery to that as well as the experience and skill of my surgeon and the hospital staff.

Good luck to everyone pre and post-surgery.

I was sleeved 2 days after you. Are you eating mushies? What does your diet consist of?

Also, I lost 17 pounds in the first week and now nothing. Did you stall at all?

Sounds like you are doing so well, congrats!

Since yesterday soft and moist: canned meats in Water, eggs, low-fat cheese, cottage cheese, turkey chili, etc.

I'm not really worried about stalls yet. I'm only weighing myself once/week. I figure if a few weeks go by and nothing changes, then it's time to change something up, but after reading a lot of forums on these types of sites people seem to drive themselves nuts with the daily weighing. If you stick to the eating plan and workout something will happen.

I am surprised by how many people seem to avoid working out. To me, that's a big part. I'd rather lose a few less pounds and gain some muscle.

Seventeen lbs is good for a couple of weeks, just keep at it.

awesome. it's always good to see sleevers close by. Im in Nebraska, about 3 1/2 hours from denver. Sleeve date is end of sept early october, hopefully the earlier one, im too anxious. Work ur sleeve!
