Lets stay in touch guys, if there is a forum for us already please point me to it, otherwise, I'll start:

Surgery date: 10/23/13

Highest weight: 283

Surgery weight: 277

Current weight: 271 (1week post op)

Pre op meds vs post op meds:

type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/

post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up.

I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment....

I feel I was loosing more pre surgery on my own. However I am loosing inches!!! I wish I would have measured at 260 but I only started the day before surgery. But in the month. ( just less) I have lost 2" from my chest :-( and 2" from my waist!!!! Other measurements are at least 1+ inch! But I would love to get to 199 by dec!

Does anyone have suggestions for me????

I am still on liquid, having a hard time with acid reflux, and Water seems to be my only friend! I am worried I will never be able to tolerate anything again! I feel ok but this can't last forever! Light nausea , and gas+ constipation! Having a hard time , don't like anything sweet right now! I am glad for weight loss, but worried about my health , hoping it gets better!

Water is my only friend acid reflux makes me not want to drink any crystal light just makes it even worst I have sugar free popsicles I'm afraid to try laying in the right position crucial cause if I don't it's like the acid reflux crawling up my throat I can't even sleep in my 1/2 way fetal position that use to get me so comfortable any more cause any bending up my body while laying down shoots that acid reflux up my throat I'm so looking forward to my first post op visit so I can get something prescribe for this cause it causing a great deal of being uncomfortable & sometimes losing sleep the eating part not so bad because I don't have any appetite but I know I have to get my Protein in

Wow October Sleevers, we have had so much great progress, I hope to continue to hear from you all and can't wait until our Surgiversary dates!!!

I wish each of you the very best and hope that all of our complications become much easier to deal with...

I was sleeved 10/31 and will be on liquds till Thanksgiving. I have lost 12 lbs thus far but am STARVING. Protein drinks go down fine, Water does as well. I havent seen any issues with anything yet. No gas, no pain, just tire easily. Walked 6 blocks to market this morning (round trip) and just finished popping in the ingedients to chicken enchilada tortilla Soup into the crockpot. Dishes washed and ready for nap!

I hope the NUT finds it in her heart to progress me sooner! This is very trying and tiring. 3rd week of Clear liquids. I need substance!

Prepared and capable of keep on keeping on!
