How are the ones who got sleeved the first week in april?

Wondering how people who got sleeved this month are doing? I was sleeved Monday . I have a nagging pain on my right side and I'm constantly walking and sipping . Can't sit comfortable in a chair. Laying on back, walking, or standing is how I get through the day .

Down 96 pounds including weight loss before surgery (20) ! I can eat anything just very small portions and chicken fills me up fast ! Can't eat much at one time . Loving the new clothes , had to get rid of ally other ones

i was sleeved april 29, and have lost 84 pounds since surgery (276 starting to 192 today) - SO happy! several bad stalls though, and they get depressing, even though i'm awfully happy these days and proud of myself. I love having so much energy and that I finally really like exercsing...wow, did I say that?! :) Great to see how well everyone is doing. I'm really incredibly glad i did this, and VERY grateful for this terrific online community. You guys rock!

Hi. I was sleeved April first. I've had kind of a rough go of it, but I have lost 95 pounds. Size 22/24 to a 14 in pants. 27 more to go, but I'm not sure that goal is realistic because it is what I weighed in my 20s and I didn't have all the extra skin. So it might be a little too skinny for optimal health. Weight loss has definitely slowed down lately, but still coming off without me really trying. I NEVER feel hungry anymore. I eat because I know I need to and because I want to. Anyway, it's nice to finally be all the way healed and know what I can and can't eat. And I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I had a closet full of smaller clothes that fit me, but are all out of style now - shoulder pads & pleated pants? no - time to donate. But it's hard for me to justify buying any new clothes right now because I don't know where I am going to end up. The thrift store is my friend right now! I still haven't wrapped my head around the new me and frequently do not recognize myself in the mirror and am ecstatic when I can tie my shoes without holding my breath.

April 1 was my day. I haven't had any real problems, just some "learning" experiences on what to avoid and learning when to stop eating. I have become a regular exerciser and feel great. Down 100 pounds. Not sure what my goal will be - maybe another 20 pounds. I too have become a big fan of thrift shops...buy cheap, wear a month or two and donate them back and buy a smaller size. Life is good!
