Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

Hi. I'm new and had my surgery on October 30th. Just trying to find my way around.

I eat pretty much anything. I dont like ground beef or shrimp (got sick early on with those). My husband is complaining my booty is getting too small. My booty...too small??? Everyone is noticing and complimenting me. Outside of a horrible cold I am suffering right now...in the words of James Brown "i feel good!"

Oh my DOS was Oct 3

I have found that I am much pickier with the food that I eat now. I can't tell you how much food I throw away now because it is mediocre. Only so much room now, want to make sure I like what I put in.

You go girl !!!

Almost 6 weeks out..I was sleeved 10/10. I have had very few complications, (lactose intolerance)seems to be my only issue. I have lost 78lbs (that includes pre-op weight loss) so far. I started at a size 24/26 pants and 2X top -- I am now wearing size 18 pants and 14/16 tops!!

I have now lost 91lbs and loving my sleeve!

I thought that Christmas was going to be a challenge for me because i went to Grandma's house. EVERYONE should have a grandma like mine, unless of course they have issues with their weight... LOL! I had a great time, though! Before I left last Friday, I went to the clinic just to be weighed. The lady at the counter thought I was nuts for asking to use their scale, though. haha! I don't trust my scale, so it was worth the trip and skeptical look! I had lost 93 pounds since 9/9/12 at the start of my pre-op diet. 43 of those pounds were since my surgery on 10/1/12. I got home last night and before showering this morning I hopped onto my home scale. Even though I don't 100% trust it (I should really go get me a new one...) the scale reflected a lower number than when I left! Unfortunately, I don't have another clinic visit for about 2.5 weeks. I am going to have to just suck it up and deal with waiting! Hopefully I will have lost 100 lbs by the time I go!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We have so totally got this!

Wow-Ocober sleevers are doing fabulous! From close to 100 lbs. lost- we all are doing great and on our way to onederlnad in 2013-congratulations to those of you who broke past 200, or 300! I'm looking forward to getting below 200 soon! Yaaa! Best Christmas ever!!! Stats:
