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

My goal was 50 lbs by Christmas... Christmas morning I was 199 ! So excited... loving my new body (and so is my husband) getting sleeved was a great decision! Now on to the next 50! : )

Congratulations everybody! I was very happy with my week - lost 3 pounds even with two family parties, prime rib, all the fixings and desserts! I didn't even have dessert no Christmas day.

I'm so excited and had to share. I have been in a stall for about 2 weeks now...been teetering over 200 and going INSANE to the point where I was questioning whether the surgery happened and/or if I was the ONE person it wasn't working for....

Well, this morning, I hopped on the scale and I was 199.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been below 200 in over at least 15 years! I actually did a Julie Andrews spin around my apartment (Referring to "the hills are a live...with the sound of music").

Just checking in. The day of surgery I was 240 today I am 187-190 I guess fluid causes it to go up and down those 3 pounds. I am on dreaded stall right now. Yes I need to exercise more. Going join the ywca the middle of month. Been going with my cousin some to gym, but she seems not to be able to go regular and I have to stop this go one day miss a week or more mess. So I will go to both gyms. I have set myself a goal of 125 so I still have some more to go.

I have not exercised or watched what I eat since released to full foods. My New Years resolution is to exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week for 45 min. I want to lose 20 lbs or more by Feb. 14 I have a surprise Vegas vacation for my hubby..

I need pep talk. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I cheated over Christmas and New Years with cookies and chips! I am almost 3 months out and don't want to blow it. HELP!!!

I did too. I gained three pounds back. I'm sick about it. I've noticed that I'm more hungry now too. I'm so worried about being hungry alot and not being successful. I am tracking and counting every calorie now though. I guess one day at a time

You can have cookies & chips just a few bites. Just keep it in your head Protein first ;*) You can do it

Just a quick check-in!! Everything is going so good!! I feel amazing and I am beginning to really see the difference in my face and body. For the first time in forever I'm looking forward to summer. Shorts and tanks from somewhere other than lane bryant. And a fancy new bathing suit!! All my nursing scrubs are huge! Love it! I'm creeping closer to onederland and when that day comes I'm treating myself to something fabulous.
