Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

How did everyone's 3 month check ups go?

Any advice from your doctors, PA's, Surgeons?

I was told I'm doing great. Surgery weight was 249 CW is 190 down 59 pounds. A total of 88 since Feb.

I need to up my calorie intake from 800 to 1000. Gah It's a struggle to do this my brain rebels at the thought of upping my calories to LOSE weight. ya know. So it's been a trial and error kinda thing for the last 4 days. I'm still only getting 850 don't think I've hit 900 yet.

So how did everyone else's go? It's nice to hear others feed back going through the same journey as me.

Happy with my sleeve, I think I hit my second stall at three months for a while but I'm back n moving now.. My hair started falling big time I'm a little scare but it was predicted so I know it will pass..

Hi was sleeved 8/21/13 weight was 246, went up to 254 in hospital due to fluids. Current weight as of last thursday 3 month anniversary 194 so I have lost 52 pounds in 3 months, not counting the water weight from post op, if I did ,would be down 60lbs . My Dr says I am above his curve, meaning I have lost more than he expected for my pre op size.Yay. Now waiting to be down another 25 lbs, my next goal loss.

Sounds like everyone is doing great, I had my 3 month apt a couple weeks ago, my Dr is happy with my loss I am down 41#s, I wish it could be more, I think I am a bit of a slow loser. SW 265 CW 224, I was hoping to be to 200 by now but I will just keep fighting the good fight!!! I am staying at 900 cal and am wondering if I need to up them, its hard for me to get that many in so I am trying figure out how to do that. I am beggingin to hear compliments from people which is nice.

Soo Just wondering how everyone is doing?? Started out at 350 surgery weight was 333 current weight is around 287 (haven't been on a scale in a week) but total weight lost is over 60... not including my pre op diet though I think I'm a slow loser... but how are yall doing with everything? My stomach acid still gives me problems but it seems to be getting a little better than it was last month for sure.

Yay! I have not gone for my 3 month check-up; I go on dec.12th- I'm still on soft foods-

How is everyone's diet progression??

Are you on regular foods now?

Hey everyone. My surgery was 8/12/13. Doing OK. Not fast, but steady. I feel so much better, arthritis pain almost gone, although unfortunately my blood pressure hasn't dropped. Not weight related, I guess. I love my sleeve and every month improves.

I am on regular foods, although I still like soft foods - they just feel better. Just in the past week I was able to start raw vegs and fruit. I had a cutie mandarin orange that was so delicious after months of no fresh raw produce, and I can eat salads now (not very much, of course, since I fill up fast). 4 month check up is Dec 12.

I think the worst thing was my throat. It was so tight and had a lump. They tested me for stricture (none) and it has slowly been going away, but it was very uncomfortable.

I was allowed to start solid foods at 6 weeks. I however last night just over 3 months tryd raw veggies. Happy to report no issues. I had a chicken lettuce wrap with cucumbers, sweet peppers, onions and tomato. Lordy I missed my raw veggies. Sigh.

When can you eat solids again?

I don't know- I go for my 3 month check-up dec. 12th; I'll find out then- it's so interesting how everyone's doctors orders vary; really trying to stick to them- but I'm doing horrible with the exercise- have only exercised a couple of times since the surgery-

Progress so far... Hmm...

Struggling with getting my water in daily and sick and tired of protein shakes ...

I'm now at 51%, he wants me at 60-65% by my 6 month appt in Feb.

Told me not to worry about calories, get my protein and fluids in, keep sugar low and that's all I need to worry about. Keep drinking my shakes to ensure I'm getting the job done.

When I work out (training for a mini triathlon) I need to drink a protein shake immediately after to keep from burning muscle.

These were his only issues.

Do you drink coffee? if so adding a scoop of protein powder to it flavored or not works for me. Or there is chike protein coffee that is yummy I think. I add a scoop to my coffee. (GG got me hooked on that stuff)
