Hello monthly sleeve-mates! Just wanted to see how everyone is doing as our Jan group has been quite quiet!

My sleeve was Jan 16. Today (Mar 4) is 2 days away from finishing 7 weeks and my data is:

- 46 lbs down from dat of surgery

- 69 lbs down from first doc appt Nov 15

- 85 lbs down from max of 373 on Oct 7, 2012

Onto normal foods. liquid is at high level of intake but if under 2L a day I get a gout attack! Ouch! Protein is nice and high. Definately feel the restriction with regular food, but am very cautious of slider type food as goes down too easy and too much. Not trying to do so, but just observing my bodies reply. Looking forward to hitting century down mark in March or early April!

How are you all doing

Wow! Ur doing great! I have not lost but about half what you have, but i feel amazing! So thrilled i did this! Cant wait for summer!

congrats - every pound down is progress - keep er going!

I am 5 wks out and down 22 lbs since surgery. On soft foods and keeping my fluid up and protein up. I feel amazing and I am loving my sleeve.

Congrats!

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 35. I'm still not taking the vitamins, eating protein like I should and definitely not drinking like I should! I have daily headaches and I feel exhausted! I'm trying to improve my diet but I had nausea so bad after surgery that I'm afraid the vitamins will make the nausea come back. Water still makes me nauseated. My dr is aware. He says give it time and it could take up to 3 months for the nausea to go away. I know I need to start vitamins and attempt to get all protein and fluids in but I hate being nauseated! Any suggestions?

My surgery was jan 14. I'm down 25 lbs. wish it was more but I will take it. I'm still trying to get my water and protein up to par. Haven't really had the engery to exercise daily but I do get some in.

I had my sleeve Jan 9. I am down 21 lbs since the surgery and 35 lbs total. I am very happy. I get all my protein and vits in. I still have trouble getting all my liquids in. I went out to eat 4 times last week and still lost 2lbs! I first for me.

I was sleeved 1/29 and I'm down 33 pounds including pre-op diet. I'm thrilled that I've had zero complications and I love my sleeve but I'm stalled and a little frustrated. I get all my protein and fluids easily and probably too much exercise! I know it will pass and will just continue to do my best but its hard!

i am down 35 pound since surgery, 10 pre op. i amfine other then a little stomach acid which doctor increased med s...it's better. restriction is good...getting my fluid in.....mostly getting protein in..

7 weeks out here and down 35 pounds. Protein is good, almost all my fluids water is still hard for me. I go to the gym daily. Haven't had any problems. Excited to see my progress in the next few months!

Sleeved on January 28th, so I am 5 weeks out. Have lost 21 pounds from surgery. Feeling great, can drink easily and tolerate everything. I'm following the nutrition guidelines for protein and calories and exercising at least 5 days a week. I do wish the weight loss was a little faster, there were 2 weeks that I didn't lose a single pound. But overall I'm very happy with this and feeling great with all of this energy.

I'm with you, sleeved on the 21st and down 20 pounds. The scale bounces up and down daily. I wish I knew the magic number my body wanted in protein, carbs, calories. it's been VERY slow after the first 15 pounds and I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard.

Down 23 since 1/30 with absolutely no problems! Easy surgery, smooth recovery with no gas, no indigestion and so far no problems with anything ive eaten! I am so frigging happy i walk around with a big grin all the time! I cannot wait until summer!

I'm 6 weeks out today and down 23 lbs since day if surgery and 32 when counting my pre-op loss. Feeling better and better every day!
