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!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

Oh my! I'm glad that you found out and I hope that you pass it soon! And hopefully less painful!

Ended up having surgery today they removed it. No longer in pain. It was by far the worst pain I've ever felt on my life. The woman next to me was there for bypass complications but has had kidney stones thee times before... Said child birth was better... I tried laughing when she told me but I was in too much pain...

I'm just glad it's over.

Uhhhh let's see....

Starting Weight (Jan 2013) 322

Pre op weigh in: 310

Day of surgery: 300

Current: 282

I lost a majority in the first 6 days post op, I've stayed within the same 2-3# over the last 2 weeks and it's making me absolutely crazy. Frustrating to say the least.

I was having the same problem. I lost 24 pounds the first week after surgery then had a three week stall. Two days ago I started losing again finally. Hang in there it will end soon!

I had a difficult hiatal hernia repair, which has been my biggest challenge. My esophagus feels tight when trying to advance to solid foods. Still feeling tired, but averaging 50gms of protein a day and 400-500 cal/day. I am having lots of sliming- totally didn't expect that! Mostly I'm just embarrassed to spit into napkins in public. Lots of gas and I saw on another thread that someone had used the phrase "urinarting"! LOL! That about sums it up! Overall, very happy that I had the sleeve!

Oops! My surgery date was 8/28!

Oh my goodness, I'm glad it's over for you thankfully I have not had gas anything like it was before this week over the last couple days and I hope it remains that way! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Hey everyone! Sleeved on 8/15 and have been doing really well. However, the past 3 days I feel like I have hit a brick wall. Headaches, weak, fatigued, etc. I'm working out pretty hard so maybe I'm just overdoing it? Anyone else had a rough week 5 and/or 6?

Thanks!

I'm at week five and I'm starting to get the headaches and dizzy and tired all the time.I take my b12 twice a day now and my surgeon said either back off some of the exercise or eat more calories. I can't eat any more so I'm working out an hour a day now. I'm starting to feel better
