Hi everyone, I signed up awhile back but today is my first time posting. I had the sleeve on Mar 6 so today starts my 5th week. So far so good, I have followed my surgeon and dietitians guides exactly and no sickness or dumping. I'm going to hope it stays that way. I look forward to talking to you all throughout our journeys.

Welcome....and congrats on your new sleeve. Keep us posted on your. Journey to health.

Welcome and congrats!

So far so good

Hi- congrats on your success thus far. I just joined today. I had my gastric sleeve on March 27th so one week ago today. Doing well with my liquids. Still have some pain, but everyday is getting better. Started pre-op diet at 235, surgery date at 223 & today at 217, so feel like Im making progress.

Having trouble with some family who cant understand why I would do this & trying hard not to be emotional. At this point I feel like this is done and the q&a sessions should be done. Tired of having to justify why I did this.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi jskittles3,

We had about the same starting numbers. My starting weight was 251, surgery day weight was 230 and day 28 post op I was 224. I didn't tell hardly anyone before I had surgery because i didn't need everyone's negative opinions so when they find out now I'm just like I had the gastric sleeve and I feel great and they don't have much to say. The biggest question is how are you surviving on such little food.
