Hello all! So excited to have found this forum!! My story is similar to many on this forum and I'm excited to share my experiences and to learn from you all. I began my final weight loss journey by way of gastric sleeve on February 21, 2013. The two weeks prior to that date I started a doctor supervised liquid diet. On that date, I weighed 433 lbs. Today, a little over seven weeks, I've lost 75 lbs! Can't wait to share more!

WOW! That's a phenomenal weight loss! Congratulations! This forum is great source of information. I had my surgery on February 28th and have lost 37 lbs. How are you feeling now? It took me about a month to feel like I had any energy. Are you doing any exercising? I started to last week but haven't gotten consistent with it yet. My schedule is too crazy.

My surgery was also February 28th and as of Monday I was down 33 pounds. Have had a few interesting things happen since then with being ill with gastroenteritis (nothing to do with the sleeve), but feel like I am back on track. Congratulations 200 lb March--that is amazing weight loss.

Thank you! I do have a lot to lose. I've not exercised more than walking. I'll be joining a gym tomorrow and am looking forward to the exercise! I still struggle with eating some solids. Anyone else? Any suggestions?

I take solids slow and easy. Can't do much and figure there is plenty of time for more food. I feel fine after I am done and may be hungry later, but I am trying to do more Protein food rather than shakes per my surgeon's request. Some days I have to have more shakes than other because some solids are easier than others. One day at a time.

Me too. I am trying to eat more solid Protein cuz that's what my Dr. wants me to do so I feel full longer. I can eat fish and chicken. I'm afraid to eat beef but I have a nice steak in the freezer so I'll try it pretty soon. Just try to chew very thoroughly and eat slowly.

I'm rarely hungry. I eat or drink Protein a few times a day. Solids are still difficult for me over 7 weeks post op. I'll see my dietitian tomorrow and will ask her about my challenges. By the way, check out my Facebook blog at "200lb March". I'm documenting my journey there.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
