[Diva2Be 21]

This is soooo great! I love all of the success stories. However big or small we are all losing and on a similar journey to achieve health...and look good while doing it! Here's to our sleeves!!!

My surgery was on May 12th. Pre-surgery, on my own diet, I went from 244 at Christmas down to 202 on the day of surgery. I'm now at 185. My weight loss was slow to non-existent in the first month after surgery. But the last two weeks have been great. I'm also experiencing incredible improvements in my health. Diabetes and HBP are gone. I can walk upstairs without getting winded, and I now ride my bike to work.

NSV: off of my bp med, down from size 20 to 16 - 18 (goodbye plus sizes forever!), and yesterday my husband told me how good I looked and he warned me not to lose so much that I "disappear". Bless his heart.

As my surgery was in Mexico I didn't have an aftercare service offered as I'm in New Zealand. I'm down 25 lbs since surgery on 03 may 2014. I have been in stall mode for past 4 weeks. I'm not sure why or how. I'm definitely changing shape and have dropped 2 sizes in clothing. I don't know how to get this baby kick started back in to action. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. I wasn't super heavy to start with but was on all the meds. Am off my bp meds and cholesterol has dropped significantly. So am still very positive, just feel a bit lost right now xx

I was sleeved on Cinco de mayo (that's the 5th of May if your Spanish is rusty)! Some people Celebrate with a taco and a margarita, I had surgery. LOL. I started at 312, got down to 294 pre surgery and am currently sitting at 267. My highest weight ever was 335.

Hi there all you May sleevers. Sounds like everyone is doing very well. I was sleeved May 6th and am down 36 pounds since then. I am feeling great! Some people have noticed, others have not said anything. It has changed my life so far. I can walk without pain in my lower back and without being out of breath. My doctor has already lowered the pressure in my CPAP and eventually I will be off it. food is not my main thought throughout the day. I am actually living life. I am so glad I did this! I hope everyone can start enjoying life again!!

[butterfyeffect 257]

I was sleeved on May 6th, and am down a total of 37 pounds. Am definitely seeing changes to my body shape, and love seeing my clothes get looser!

@boccob81- I have just started feeling hunger in the last week or two. Usually starts 4-5 hours after my last meal, and more often than not, feels like heartburn. I have also noticed that I can eat much more than I used to - still way less than a pre-op meal, however, so I'm good with it... for instance, I just ate a "normal" portion of canned chili, whereas before I would have eaten the whole can, and probably half a dozen saltines, now I am satisfied, and even full on just the 1 cup portion (no crackers).

Everyone is doing so well. It's great to see the success one can have in one month. As for hunger. ..I'm hungry all the time! Every 2-3 hours I must eat...I just make the right food decisions. Going for my 6wk check Tuesday and off I go to continue the journey.
