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

Without thinking I popped a piece of gum in my mouth and started chewing away. I now understand why they say no gum. My pouch feels really bloated. Almost like the feeling of eating to much or not chewing enough before swallowing.

Hey all, I am just about 6 weeks out and I am 47lbs down, almost out of all my smaller clothes I never threw away because I was hoping to ft in them one day, here's the joke they almost to big....lol

Has anyone since being sleeved having any gallbladder issues?

I had surgery on Feb. 20th. Down 36lbs so far. I have progressed to regular diet, but I can only eat a few bites at a time. I'm still having trouble getting enough protein and liquids. No pain walking about 4 miles a day, fixing to add in water aerobics.

I need to stay off this website for a while... Surgery 2/18 and only down 20...ive not been able to exercise the last few weeks because I've been sick, but still!

You am me both! Since surgery I'm only down like 17.5! I lost 26 lbs the month I was on pre-op. I know I should be pleased overall, and I'm trying to keep perspective. I just feel like I should be losing more. But, I'm shrinking and definitely wearing smaller clothes. Hang in there M_mama...our day will come

I've lost about the same amount but I'm thrilled. My clothes fit again. Everyday I go shopping in my own closet. I've never lost this much this consistently. You're doing great!

Has any one stalled during their four week post period?

I've been stalled 1 week now. Which is my 4th post op week. Hoping it breaks tomorrow.

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 face and then boobs. It seems to move down my body in order.

DOS 2/25. Down 25 lbs since DOS. Stalled the entire fourth week. Barely reaching 600 calories. Not reaching protein. Going to be more mindful and try to correct this starting tomorrow. I lost 22 lbs per-op. I've gone from a size 28 to a size 20.
