Surgery June 26

I did gain 10 lbs from IV fluids given in hospital. I was surprised about it. That took a few days to reverse then I lost 12 lbs from my starting weight.

Able to get protein and water down easily

Still a little tired from surgery

Looking forward to new life !

Wow, that's great!!!

Surgery June 25

Highest weight 274

Lost 12 post since surgery

Just starting getting my energy back on 7/4. Went out and saw fireworks! Still struggling with finding Protein drinks I like.

Congrats to all of us!

Sleeved 7/1 - 5 days post-op. Lost 15lbs since surgery! Still heavily dependent on pain meds, struggling to get water and protein in! Despite my worries, the weight is falling off!

Sleeved 7/1, gained +9 lbs. of fluid post-op. As of today, I've lost 6 of them. The scale is moving in the right direction!

Took a 20-minute walk to CVS to get my system moving along. Still very swollen internally, making it hard to get liquids in at a fast rate; but day 5 has been the best day as far as pain management and overall alertness/energy levels. I'm hoping it continues to improve daily.

Today I had my first bites of applesauce--I feel like I'm eating haute cuisine! Oooo la la!

Sleeved July 1st gained 3 lbs in the hospital, got on the scale this morning and was happy to see I lost the 3lbs and 4 more! Woohoo it's working, so far I am loving sleevie!

465 lbs on 6/15/2013

429 lbs on 7/1/2013 day of surgery

419 lbs on 7/5/2013.

I had surgery 7/2 and am only down 2 or 3 pounds. I've been having a hard time getting in my protein & liquids but I am trying, just get super full super fast. I also am dying to get rid of the gas they blow your belly up with. I'm hoping once that goes away I can get my liquids/protein in like I need to.

Surgery 7/2

I am really struggling with getting the protein and water in and am kind of missing the taste of real food. So far I tried Nectar and Isopure and at first they taste ok, but halfway down it's just really yucky.

I am mostly walking around the house since its 100 degrees outside, but will try to get out tomorrow.

Surgery 7/1

Starting weight 312

Surgery Day weight 297

Today 290

Feeling good about that. Getting in my liquids and protein shake. Struggling with head hunger! Majorly struggling... I can do this!
