I'm curious to hear how everyone who was sleeved in October is doing!

Mine was Oct 14 in Tj with Dr Garcia, two nights in hospital and one at the Marriott. The docs & nurses & hospital & hotel were great. Other than feeling nauseous the first couple of days, weak & sore the first week, it's all gone very well. I even survived having TWO sets of company the week after I returned home! (No visitors for months, and I get two that week!)

I've had a queasy stomach a few times, but it always passed. Didn't know if I could even take Pepto, so I'm glad it did!

And I'm now down 21 pounds from my highest weight a week before surgery when I started liquids -- I am still amazed when I get on the scale! My BMI is below 30 for the first time in a hundred years at least. And tho I know the speed of weight loss will slow, it's exciting to me to know that I'm not dieting to lose this weight and then have it all come back later, plus some!

Of course, I COULD have lost this weight two months ago if all I ate was Soups & shakes & yogurt, but I would've been climbing the walls with hunger and eating paint chips! With the sleeve, even tho it's new, I'm just not very hungry very often. It's more of a *mental* thing to retrain my mind that I do NOT have to finish that cup of Soup, cause I'm getting full.

I'm wearing tops that I bought a year or two ago that were tight when I bought them but I told myself I'd lose ten pounds so I could wear them. Never did... Until now! And it feels GOOD knowing that all that FAT around my internal organs is going away, making me healthier in the long term. I'm 60 now, and I did this so I'd be a healthy little-ole-lady in the future.

So... that's my story. What's YOURS? How are YOU doing? Let's compare notes.

I was sleeved on Oct 17 down 25 lbs no pre op liquid diet im on soft foods I'm able to get the turkey meatballs down without a problem I feel great my blood sugar is at normal limits everyday i couldn't be happier with my descision I have made my 3 week check up is tomorrow

Oct 27th,

1st week followup is tomorrow. No real problems so far. Lost about ten lbs from the weight they took upon admitting me last Thursday. Getting the gas out the first few days has been the worst part, but that's over.

If anything, I keep thinking I must be forgetting to do something because it's going so well. I do worry because sometimes I've had more ounces of Fluid in an hour than the surgeon's notebook recommends (40oz). But, I've never gotten sick, and I can't find anything in the literature that says you can stretch the pouch early on with a little extra fluid. So, it's probably fine.

Good luck everyone!

Still resting and napping but better every day!

Sleeved 4th October. Pre-op weight loss was 17lbs post surgery weight loss so far is 27lbs. Total 44lbs in 6 weeks. Still having rough days. Can't say I'm glad I've done it yet as I still struggle just waiting to hit the mark where I can say I'm glad I did it.
