Im 5 weeks out and I had my second follow up today and I've been cleared to resume normal activities and to be able to branch off and try different foods in moderation that is. I've only lost 1 pound in the last 2 weeks but I've dropped inches - even my surgeon noticed that ! I'm so excited and glad that I have the surgery. xoxoxo sleeve family

Congrats! Wow what great news! Keep up the good work!

Good for you!!!! How much have you lost so far?

My highest weight was 426 in January 2012 when I started considering the surgery - in January 22, 2013 I was 399, day of surgery 1/28/13 I was 387 and today I'm 369. So in all I've lost almost 60 but my clothes are fitting differently my moms says I'm losing inches faster than pounds which is fine with me because I know the pounds will come off.

Wow you keep going!!! I can't wait to be in your shoes!!! All my paperwork has been submitted today they will be sending it to UHC!!! Fingers crossed!!!!

Everything will be fine! Just remember a few things

1) results may vary: not everyone loses at the same pace but we all lose

2) listen to your body: I've only dumped once since surgery and I knew when I was eating that I was eating too much too fast but I was just to excited to be eating real food

3) get grounded with good support: you need people in your corner because I probably could've gone thru this by myself but who would want to. We may not be blood related but we are related thru experience

4) trust and believe in yourself: you can do anything you put your mind to but you just have to believe it
