Happy Holidays,

Hey Gang!!! I hope everyone is doing their very best, pre and post op sleevers.

Monday I finally went back to work and had a blast. I put on a bright pink dress with make up and all and had a great non stressful day. I will say I have had more success with eating adequately and slowly since I have come back to work. I am drinking more than my 32 ounces of water with no problem.. maybe I should have came back sooner.

This process has been a blessing and a curse sometimes. I did not have any major complications. My only complaint was the stomach cramps. No vomiting, little nausea and no "bathroom" problems.

Surgery did make my surgery a week late but that was to be expected.

Soo here are the stats.

Initial Consultation- 280

Submission Day- 291

Surgery Day-272

Today?????? Drum Roll Pleaseeeeeeee............. 258!!!

Now If only I could find a dedicated gym partner, that would be great!

I am trying to go to the gym or outside with my son everyday and also 30min 4 times a week in the morning.

Here are some of my NSV's

-A pair of shorts I bought 1 day after my wedding were super tight on my thighs and I could not get them up... Put them on the other day, --:-) Dance party in my bedroom, smiles all around.. They came up and I had some room.

-- My workout clothes are becoming lose again!

---Yesterday while getting out of my car, a man in a minivan stopped his car and said,

" Ma'am, I just had to let you know it's nice to see a pretty thick woman, you are beautiful"... Then he drove off! Confirmation at the least, ego booster!

---- My husband and I have "drives" through the roof right now!

----- I have inspired my husband to eat healthier and lose weight for the upcoming trip.. Love him either way!

------ I actually chased after my son while on his new bike yesterday without becoming winded. Also walking with my coworker around the block twice without my back tightening up on me.....

I am thankful I was able to have surgery, have such a wonderful support system and also hopefully be an inspiration and greatly supportive to all of you !!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 2/19 as well. So far everything has gone well! I weighed 396 at initial consult, 380 on surgery day and as of yesterday (4 weeks out) I'm at 352! Down 28 since surgery, 44 total and feeling good!

Hey there! Im doing well...down 25 lbs then weight loss stopped for a bit. Tried a few things and I think the scale is moving again!

How are things going for you missy?

Things are going really good! I am having a hard time adjusting to regular food but other then that I am happy and losing!

Hi. What did you do to get the scale moving again. I too am stuck. I am at 5 weeks now lost 25 till date have been stuck for the past week.

Be patient I am on week 7 and I didn't loose week 5-7 i was extra frustrated because week 5 is when i started walking 4 miles a day! lol then on Wednesday I started to loose again!

So far so good. I was sleeved on Valentines. 397 on Jan 31 when the preop diet started. 338 this morning.

I started eating solids on Thursday. I'm tolerating them well, but I'm really piling on the hot sauce. I've always loved spicy food, but I love it even spicier now. Very strange. I feel like I can almost take a drink of Tabasco straight.

Getting down reg food will certainly get easier with time! Glad things are well.
