Sleeved on October 30 and I am finally starting to have more energy and I am able to eat some dinner with the family! Popsicles are always on hand.

Oct22,2012sleeved 234.5lb.day of209.2lbs on last Monday total 39lbs

Other than the pulmonary embolism I have developed, I have felt great. I can eat practically anything, just very small portions. I drink plenty of fluids, but must admit I do struggle to get in all my protein. I will do better :-)

Pre-op weight 314

Day of surgery 295

Current 269

6 weeks out today, so that is 27 pounds down, and 45 total. Never lost that much before so quickly!

Not sure if I can say I would do it again since I have blood clot issues now related to the surgery, but I am thrilled with my results. I'm sure once the clots resolve and I lose even more weight, I will say, "you betcha!" When asked if I would do it again.

Sleeved 10/18

High Wt 223

Surgery Wt 209

Current 190

Focusing on: Daily walking! Not eating too much! Separating food from liquid. Thankfully no complications. I just need to keep on planning and stay on the plan!

Surgery 10/29 all is well.

Nov lost 21lbs. Daily improving I am committed to the process and attend and speak at support group. I am so greatful we hve all been given a chance at life. Keep up good work, I am proud of all of you.

Two months outs, down 42lbs and feeling great!!

I'm 7 wks out today and down 53 lbs, 37 since surgery. I've been stalling for two weeks now. I joined a gym however haven't been yet as I have Planar Fasiitis and my feet are taped up. I go back to the dr Friday and hopefully the tape will work. I went and bought a few outfits that actually fit and aren't baggy and now I feel fat again. .

I had that too. When I first started walking it got worse but as I lost weight and kept walking its been great. I've had no problems and this was before surgery.

Invest in great sneakers. I used to go cheap but now I pay $90-120 for New Balances every year. It's worth it to never get those shots again.

Was sleeved Oct 31st and I am miserable. I have the worst heartburn 24/7 and any little thing I try to eat sits in the pit of my stomach once it passes through my esophagus which never seems to go smoothly. I end up vomiting and left with an aching belly...What the hell is going on? I want my other part of my stomach back, this is miserable....please tell me it will not be like this forever!! I went all day today without eating because it scares me to do so.....

That doesn't sound right, I would call your doc and find out what's up. Hope your feeling better soon

Hello everyone... I was sleeved Oct 29th. Things are going pretty good. Surgery weight 248, current weight 222. Things have really slowed down for me, I've been 222 for two weeks. I think my metabolism has stopped because of my protein intake or lack there of. So today I started back on the Atkins shakes. Hopefully things start moving in the right direction again. I hope things are positive for the most part with everyone else as well. Keep posting, it's become a great way to end the day for me!
