Id love to make some friends who are going the same day as me so we can chat and compare hw were feeling and what not. Hit me up! min will be in Portsmouth NH with Dr. Kevin Looser sooooooo excited!!!!

I am a week post-op today from band to sleeve...so far I believe this is the best decision I could've ever made. I was slow to heal and ended up staying in the hospital for 4 nights. As soon as I got home I was in my feet staying busying and walking and tending to my 2 daughters. Staying a little sore so I think I need to take a step or two back. I went into surgery on the 7th @ 236 and today I weighed 228. I am not having cravings like I did post-op band. I feel as though I can breathe easier if that makes any sense! I'm following the post-op diet very strictly. I just started full liquids today. A total of 1.5servings whey protein mixed thin, half water half skim milk. Blue bonnet is the best imo...I had 1 oz of thin grits with the fat free butter spray, I had a fat free yogurt Popsicle which was very yummy and felt good going down in my sore tummy. Still sip water and apple juice ...don't feel like I drank enough today. I have noticed I produced a lot more gas than with the band. I take tiny sips of everything so I haven't had any vomiting. I can feel the liquid begin to "pool" in there so I immediately stop. I honestly feel great! I have to take heparin twice daily for 10 more days due to a previous history with blood clots, but other than that couldn't be more pleased! We bought a treadmill and my family is very supportive and has made the decision to make healthier choices in their diet. So much easier to do this when everyone in your home is onboard and supportive!!!!

Yay!! were september 7 buddies!! :-D

How are you doing? What's your weight loss as of now?

I had surgery on September 6th by Dr. Weiss in Ky. I'm about 6 weeks out and down about 28 pounds (from day of surgery). I've been stalled at least twice... So frustrating! Ugh... Just wondering what everyone else is eating this far out? I can pretty much handle anything, just very small portions. I'm getting in about 800 calories a day...but still in a stall! Hopefully my body will adjust soon, and I'll be on the losing track again! Just wondering how everyone else was doing?

Just wondering how everyone is doing? Surgery date 09/06/12, down 38 pounds.

Hey,

I just posted pics in the success story section. Surgery 9/7 I'm down 50 since surgery and down 70 total! I feel amazing, couldn't be happier!
