I had my surgery on May 15th. I'm currently 16 days (3 weeks) out. I lost a total of 18 pounds so far. I only had to do a one day fast before surgery.

Doing great!! Looking forward to the next few months. My pants are getting loose.

For me: I drink a protein shake an hour before I got I the gym and drink water while on the treadmill. It helps a lot. Start off with a short distance. As your tolerance builds up.....you'll do better. Lets all do this together.

:-)

Good Luck. Hope to see you shrinking.

Thanks! I will try the protein drink.....I don't think I am getting enough of anything....forcing liquids, and food.....but want to get healthy.

Are you on blood pressure meds? They might need to be changed with weight loss?

Wow. Congrats. I bet you danced around the room naked (because I know that's how we weigh ).

Oh you know I did

No, no meds....was diabetic, but with the weight loss......I guess I need to make a dr. Appointment.

34lbs gone but stalled again last week.

I feel great' date=' losing weight, finally. I felt so conflicted about getting another surgery, I felt I had failed the lapband, what's to say that I won't fail with this. And I was eating right and exercising, but I couldn't stop throwing up with the band. My surgeon said he knew how I could feel that way, but the band failed me. Not the opposite. The first few weeks of the sleeved life is hard, but I'm 5 weeks out now, and I feel great![/quote']

I'm glad that u r ok nd everything is much better I can only amazing how u felt about the lapband I proli would have cried lol . But I'm very glad u r Ok nd keep up da good work

So happy with the sleeve! Have had no intolerances with very little pain or discomfort and have followed doctor's orders to a "T". Started weight training at the gym last week and will start Water aerobics next week.

Had my 6 week post-op appt on the day following a 3 day stall only to discover that I wasn't eating enough. I was getting the Protein and water in but only 600 calories. Nutritionist explained how important it is to take in calories with appropriate carbs and fat to loose weight. After adding whole wheat flat-out bread, whole wheat pitas and whole wheat skinny buns to my diet (along with veges) and increasing calories to 1,000 I have lost 6 lbs this week. I don't expect it to continue at that rate but it sure feels good!

My husband was sleeved 3 wks after me and he is doing well. I will be glad when we can eat the same things though!

Good luck to all. Keep the motivation coming!
