Hi everyone. I was sleeved may 9th. Am 31 ur old female. Just curious how everyone is going?

I was sleeved on the 19th May. I have gained 3 pounds since my Op. I'm having no problems drinking and getting in my Protein and I am walking everyday. I lost 126 pounds myself, in the 12 months before the op, but still have a way to go as I'm still 340 pounds. Before the op I plateaued for a few months and was looking forward to continuing to lose weight post op. I'm starting to feel low, as I expected to have started to lose weight by now.

I'm really impressed how other May sleevers have done, keep up the good work.

My surgery was May 16. My doc has me on liquids for 2 weeks, 'soft' foods (greek yogurt, cottage cheese, soft tofu) for week 3 - 5, then if I'm doing well I can progress to regular food. It's interesting to see the different guidelines that people are given - when you can eat, what you can eat, pre-op diets, etc.

I've lost 13 lbs post-op. Just started walking, trying to get in 1.5 miles a day to start with. It's getting easier to get liquids down, I can take slightly bigger sips now than in the beginning. No nausea, but am having some 'digestive issues' about 30 minutes after I have my morning shake and sometimes later in the day. Other than that, feeling better every day.

My mood has improved too - the first week I was feeling really low. Wondered if I'd done the right thing, was this going to work, etc., etc. The panic has gone now that I'm able to drink a little more, and I'm really looking forward to the next food stage.

Good luck to all my fellow May sleevers! I appreciate reading about everyone's experience, it's very encouraging to know that everyone is different and I'm not 'abnormal' in my weight loss pace or how I feel.
