Hey guys just wanted to update you...I am 17 days Post Op and feeling pretty good. I've lost 22lbs since I got home from the hospital 11/04 and I'm doing ok with my Protein & liquids. I did vomit today after I ate lunch which wS weird because I've been fine since the day after I got home...not sure what caused the upset but dinner stayed down. I am able to go on real food by Thanksgiving but honestly I'm not rushing it. I do not enjoy eating at all anymore, I guess that's a good thing. I think I miss ginger ale and crunchy stuff like tortilla chips the most. My taste buds have completely took a turn. Oh and I have to put a top on my cup to drink Protein, the smell disgusts me like I'm pregnant.

I look forward to the weeks ahead as my weight is coming off so well. Excited about when I can start working out. Most of all you can already see a change in my body...I love my sleeve. No regrets!!!

Actually at 5'5" you can weigh 210.5 and have a BMI right at 35.

Good for you love...So happy for you! Those Med's are a pain in the butt! What a difference 30 or 30 lbs can make. No more HBP Med's for me either!!! Yaaaay!!!

Checking in!!!!!

My surgery was 10/30 and I am down 27lbs since I left the hospital. But I lost that right away. I went 2 weeks with not a pound of loss...freaked me out. I just started losing again two days ago...But I know I am smaller, my pj's that I wore home now fall down around my ankles ...Lol! I tried on 2 pair of jeans that are 12's and they fit me...tight but they fit. That's 3 sizes down from a 18...My BMI was 35.7 so I was told I would probably lose slow..my knees are already starting to feel better and I'm just so excited. I love my sleeve..it's noisy and sometimes it's not very cooperative but I love it!!

Good luck to you!!!

I love hearing all your stories. I'm just starting this process. I scheduled for my educational meeting this week. I've been really concerned about not being approved because my bmi is 36.2 with sleep apnea, acid reflux and long history of back issues. I'm happy so many of you have been approved and happy with you decision.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
