My surgery was March 6th. Starting weight was 220. Surgery date was 207. Today is 175. No issues with Water and Protein. Usually get about 80 oz of liquids not including my shake in the morning. Protein is 70-80 grams.

I feel great and the inches are melting off. Don't lose as fast as some but I am thrilled. It's still over 3 pounds per week that will never come back.

I had a very easy time with surgery and recovery so I have been one of the lucky ones in that way. I feel like my life is back to normal but in a healthy way. I feel in control, and feel healthy inside and out!

I love my sleeve and am sure this was the best step I could have taken for my health!

I was sleeved on March 7th and have lost 40 pounds so far. No one had noticed yet' date=' or at least they hadn't said anything to me until yesterday. I decided to try on an old dress that I wore 8 years ago when I was a whole lot thinner. It fit so I wore it to church. You should have seen people's eye bug out when they saw me. Made my whole day![/quote']

Good for you Skinnyginny. :)

I was sleeved 3/19. I am so happy with my sleeve! I am having a bit if trouble with Water and vitamins' date=' it sounds as though I am not the only one. Before surgery I was able to drink 3 liters of Water a day with no problem, but now I am good if I get in 48-50. Of course I would like to have lost more by now, but it is coming off. 20+ inches overall.

It is a wonderful feeling to be satisified with such a small amount of food. We have taken 5 small trips in the past 2 months and eating out is so easy! Just ask the waiter for exactly what you want even off menu and there are no questions! Went to a BBQ joint with a group of people and I ordered 4 ounces of BBQ chicken and cucumbers, the waitress just said OK!

Loving life![/quote']

My experience has been similiar, vowed I would not change my social life, eating out has been easy. We're much more self consious about it then others are.

I was sleeved on March 11 & reached my first big goal - 50 pounds down!! It's hard to see results when looking in the mirror every day' date=' but when I compared my "before surgery picture" to this one I took this past weekend, I could really see myself shrinking! I don't know about you guys, but I'm sooooo glad I made the decision to have surgery![/quote']

You look fantastic, my surgery was March 18th and I'm at a stall at 40 pounds down, hoping to join the fifty club soon.

Continued success to you.

I was sleeved on 3/6 and I'm down 51lbs. I'm very proud of my weight loss but I still have some work to do. I'm in no pain at all, but I struggle with exercising. I haven't done any :( , cause I'm sooo lazy. I also struggle with taking all my Vitamins. I need to get on board because I don't want to regain the weight and I want to be healthy. I don't regret my decision to have the surgery. In fact, I wish I would have done it years ago! :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
