February Sleevers

I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Sleeved 2/19 down 42lbs. Drinking the water ok but should be exercising more.

Sleeved 2/18 down 42 lbs...Our stats are almost identical. And yep, should be exercising more too.

I should be exercising more too but I have to honestly say I am moving about a whole lot more now that I'm thinner. Wish I could stay away from a taste of ice cream or crackers once in a while. I'm so busy in my life that I sometimes forget I ever had anything done. That's how good I feel. I need to lose another 15 lbs before June 20!!! I can do it!!!

I was sleeved feb 25th!

I am down about 50 lbs

I was 319 now I'm at 267

I was a tight 26 (ok so those didn't really fit anymore lol)

Now I'm at a 22-24

I am the same!!! My surgery day was the 14th and as of this morning I was 266

Same sizes too. Yay

Keep up the good work

Howdy all you February sleevers! How's everyone doing so far?

I'm doing pretty well myself! I was sleeved on the 18th of February and so far I've lost 62 pounds...I'm probably not exercising as much as I should, I just don't have the time between the two jobs that keep me working 50 to 70 hours any given week! Any tips on exercise that works for all of you? would love to hear them! I'm happy for all of us!! From what I've seen, everyone is doing very well! Keep up the good work!

My surgery date was 2/22. No complications what-so-ever, though I experience mild pain when I eat certain foods (breads and meats mainly), or if I eat too quickly. The best way I can describe the discomfort is a heavy feeling at the base of my throat....until the food settles. Anyone else experiencing similar discomfort?

Yes that is very very common with eating too fast or with dense proteins (meat) or rice/pasta. Feels like it is trying to push through the bottom of your throat!
