I got sleeved on the 5th and it wasnt that painful the first few days. after i came home i started to feel the pain, specially the gas pains. Swallowing is a totally new experience. If i take a sip thats to big the pain i get in my chest from pain is so bad.

I cant wait for it to get better. Its not that i regret it, oh no, it just that its like learning to eat all over again. I have started to write down none scale victories. I want to exercise again, i want to play sports again, and most of all play with my kids without feeling tired

.

My surgery was on March 19th. Started at 237. I am now at 196. My tip is to exercise I started running at least 1/2 mile 3 to 4 times a week and then walk a mile. Now I'm running 2 miles and walk one. I'm always trying to run farther. And sometimes I just run like a 30-40 yard dash about 10 times. I just change it up whenever I feel like it. Nothing is set in stone. I just do what I feel like.

I also eat Malt o Meal every morning w brown sugar and yogurt butter. Then a protein shake at 10a. Then at lunch I eat 3oz chicken with 1/2 cup of black berries. Then at 2 I eat like a string cheese and then at 4 I Drink a protein shake and for dinner a small slice of salmon.

Not always in this order sometime ill eat almonds or 1/4 c cottage cheese wit 1 tbs strawberry simply fruit in it. I just always mix it up. but that's pretty much what I eat. Everyday.

If I want something sweet I eat those skinny cow candies. I never feel bad because I always exercise most of it away.

Wow! That's amazing! I was sleeved March 18th. I weighed 247 and I am currently at 201. It seems like you have a good food system down. I meet protein daily, but struggle with water still. It's hard for me to get 32 oz in a day. I do a shake in the morning, protien snack mid day and try to eat dinner. I have a hard time forcing myself to eat. I walk a lot Nd try to get to water areobics, but find myself slacking often.

I know it can't last forever, but I've been losing a pound a day, still, since last Monday. I'm still just as thrilled every morning!!! Thanking God for my sleeve <3

Thank You, God!!! I'm down another pound this morning!! I'm finally in the 20's, 229, but it sure does feel good!! It's been a long time

Ok everyone surgery was on March 19th I started at 237. As of this morning 193. On my way to 170. 44lbs damn I really can't believe it.

I'm down 22lbs at the 8 week mark or 37lbs at the 10 week mark if you count my 2 week pre-op. Some may say that is slow but I feel I am doing really good and losing at a rate that I am happy with.

That is great, everybody counts their pre-op too. I didn't lose any pre-op, so my total is just 28 and I'm 10wks out. I'm satisfied just to be out of the 4wk long stall and losing every day now. Lost another pound last night . Glad u are happy with your loss too. Hopefully the slow loss will be the trade off for not having too loose skin...I'm hoping that will help with that issue as well as not having hair loss. My hopes and dreams anyway! I just thank God I'm losing, slow and steady is fine

I haven't weighed myself yet since Wed but my clothes are fitting loose and I'm noticing my face looking thinner. Congratulations to you all for losing the weight. I was sleeved 3/19 as well and am not in onederland yet but I'm getting there. Keep up the awesome work everyone! !! so proud of you all.

I agree, we are all great losers whether we are fast or slow !! As long as the scales move downward , I'm fine!!

Finally broke into the 250s after a 6 WEEK PLATEAU! That was discouraging, although it is true that I still lost big-time inches during the plateau. Sleeved on March 11th and had dramatic results for the diets three weeks, and then it slowed to a crawl, then stopped. So I'm pretty happy just to be moving again. I also changed up the mix of nutrients by slightly lowering my carbs and that seemed to do the trick.

Happy Dance! I hit 199 this morning! Now onto my next goal....179 no longer obese! HW 247 SW 240 Currently 199 I will take the 40 lb weight loss in 8.5 weeks!

Congrats !!!!! Lowering my carbs did it too!
