Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

Ok, this has probably already old news, but if you have NOT tried these, you MUST!!! Made me soooooooo HAPPY today!!! (Yes, I know.... I have serious issues with food making me happy...but at least this is a good choice!)

My surgery is Tuesday 26th @ 8am. Yippeee can't wait to start this next chapter but I've been wondering from my fellow sleeve family that had the procedure last month. What's the 1st areas on your body where you noticed the weight loss.. I keep hearing in your face is that true? I know everyones body is different tho.

My upper tummy! Congrats

My wife likes those. I can take them or leave them. My vice is the little baby bell light cheese that's in a white wrapper and dipped in red wax. They are kind of pricey in the store, but Costco sells them cheap.

Walmart also sells an extra low fat (75% fat free, I think) cheddar made by Cabot that's excellent. It's 60 calories an oz with lots of protein.

Face...my husband said my "gobbler" was shrinking lol. That is what everyone noticed 1st and then when I turned to the side it was my stomach

I'm 5 weeks postoperative. The PA said to do whatever I want in terms of working out. She said at this point there's nothing I can do that will damage my sleeve.

Well that's cool! Cuz I want to get back into really hitting it hard

I just ate an innie piece of pizza!!!! Why do I feel so guilty? I'm 5 weeks out and so far so good. Normally I would ate 5! But I'm scared due to eating the crust.

I'm at the end of 4 weeks and I've been stalled for most of this week.

I have been stalled since the 18 of this month. I am not happy about it, but at lest it gives my body time to get caught up.

Its been one month today, down 30 lbs! I can't believe it, I can tell in my clothes but in my mind I don't really see it!? I am still on protein shakes and one meal a day. Fish today from Schwans and cottage cheese yummy! Went to a wedding last night and I crossed my legs Wow! I do feel great and full of energy! Loving it!

I can't complain, I'm down 27lbs. I think I'm losing inches. If I don't lose anything by weds. then I will be a week. I had another mini stall around the 2nd week I think.

Everyone comments on my face as well. I'm really noticing in my belly.

Me too! Face and belly. Down from a 22 to an 18. Can't wait to fit in reg size clothes

I totally am same way. I can't see change in the mirror. I'm down 35#. Clothes are huge however so its working somewhere

I kinda feel the same way I can tell in my clothes but in my mind I feel as if I been here before (when I lost weight before) so I try not to think to much of it. When I lose my next 15 pounds that will put me at a smaller size/ lower weight than I have lost when diet and exercising without the sleeve.

I was sleeved 2/22/13 and down 27lbs! Pain hasn't been an issue' date=' did take me a few weeks to get my energy back. Eating and tolerating almost everything I have tried. Hard for me to remember to eat SLOW! Being a nurse I am used to eating on the run... I have found I do better with 4 small meals than 3, I was wanting to snack in the evening.[/quote']

I was sleeved on 21st, pretty much same in weight loss
