I'm going in on may 14th at 7am

Glad I kicked it for you Amp, lol. We all need a kick in the ass sometimes, that's why we are here!

I had mine on May 6. Down 28 pounds so far (345-317). Only 2 lbs. lost in the past week, though. I was discouraged, but in reading posts here I understand this may be just a stall or a plateau. I'm doing what they tell me to do, and I'm walking 5-6 times a week. I have more energy and though I still use a CPAP, I noticed I've been sleeping much better the last few nights. For the first time since my marriage last October, my wife was able to put her arms completely around me.

Arielacr,<br><br><br> Wow what did the dumping feel like? Hope you are feeling better.

Hey cherry tree, feels like your pressure dropping: dizzy, cold swear, nausea, you sort of feel like you're gonna pass out. I freaked out for 10 min then googled it. Apparently once you get it you have to wait it out. Passed in a few hours. However, definitely put me off cheese for a few days!

My surgery was may 21 and the weight is coming off and I feel great. But someone please tell me why I feel like I could cry at any moment????

When you lose weight, the hormones that we're sticking to the fat cells release, and hormone party happens inside you. For a LOT of people, this leads to lots of emotions. I cried for the entire day on day 5 post-op. I'm better now but stupid things set me off. The only cure is patience apparently. Feel better!

May 22 here. 5 days out and 20 lbs down! Woohoo!

How did you lose 20lbs in 5 days?! Wow!

What is the most everyone is walking??

Arielacr, wow that sounds a lot like dehydration. It makes you feel that way too.

Xojessny, I'm up to 1 mile.

May 19th including pre-op down 25lbs!!! Walking in my neighborhood 2 blocks, increasing each day.

May 15 here! Have lost 14 lbs since surgery, am finally allowed pureed tmrw: does that mean? Anything as long as its in that form? Like a piece of cheese completely mushed through?

Cherry tree

I feel like I'm pushing myself I'm up to 2n a half

Count me in... Ha my sleeve done last week on may 23... Everything went well but the nausea and dry heaves nearly kicked my butt.... Even though I was taking all the meds they could give me, I still got so sick so ended up staying in the hospital 3 days bc I couldn't keep anything down in my own... Crazy.... But home now, no more nausea, doing shakes and liquids, haven't taken pain meds for the last 25 hours... So far so good... Excited to be in this journey... It's amazing to feel physical restriction when drinking or eating soft foods...I never seemed to bet feel that so would always over eat bc something tastes so good... Such a surreal feeling now...

Best of luck, everyone!!

Just had my sleeve may 23rd. Have been feeling really good. Lost about 11 pounds. Started eating soft foods today and think in regretting it. reading thing about rupturing and leaks makes me want to stick to the shakes a bit longer. I also keep making the mistake of drinking milk to fast as that was an old habit. Anyone else have their sleeve around my day? What have you tried so far and what are you feeling like? Thanks!

Hello,<br><br> We were sleeved 2 days ago on the 21st. Still on liquids but no hunger pains. We were able to start protein today and that gave us quite a burst of energy. The pain is manageable and things seem to be going well. I'm 48 with a starting weight of 281. She's 45 with a starting weight of 251. We're both 3-5 pounds over the starting weight due to the fluids. Looking forward to next week when the pounds start coming off!
