Well, June sleevers, it's just about the end of our very exciting month! I would love for us to share our good and bad experiences of our journey so far.

This is my status,

Surgery date- 6/9

No regrets!

Same here. I might be less than 500. Sleeved 6/30. Good luck on your journey.

Of those that are alrady in the Pureed stage, about how many calories are you taking in per day? I'm eating between 800 - 1,000 calories a day and have not been losing weight. This scares me. Prior to surgery, if I were to have eaten only 1,000 in a day I would have lost weight that day. WTH?!?!?!

I actually can't get to more than 500 cals in a good day..

Asdf12345 we are very similar I have the same issue and fears as you. Sleeved 6/18, eating about 1,000 cal a day or less, why am I not dropping quickly?! I have lost 15 lb since surgery but most of it was in the first 10 days. Like you, I also fear this procedure is not going to help me as much as it's helping the others. So anxious.

8 days post-op and feeling tired of heartburn. I never ever had heartburn before surgeyr, so am really hoping this disappears and quickly. I miss eating. Sipping slowly is strange,too.

Scared I will have hair loss.

Sleeved 6/18.

It's been a bit rough, I will be honest. Weak, tired, and full with just sips for the first week post op.

I'm feeling better little by little. I'm getting more Protein in. Lots of changes, like now I'm lactose intolerant. Hoping that will change in the future.

Always smell gasoline, lol. The headaches have subsided which is awesome.

People considering the VSG you gotta know that this is weight loss surgery and a BIG detox.

Best wishes all.

Sleeved 6/23.

I have my moments of regrets, but glad I did it and am looking forward the road that is before me now. My first eating test happened about a week and half. We had a birthday dinner out for my grandma and everyone in my family was surprised how good I looked and how little I ate. (1/2 cup of cottage cheese).

Sleeved 6/23/14 Having no regrets! Feeling great and looking great. Have been back to work for a week now. Got cleared for stage four diet today!

I can honestly say I don't live to eat anymore. I eat to live. ☺️

Me too! Isn't it awesome? I mean, when I eat I enjoy the food but I'm not consumed by what my next meal or snack will be. I don't LUST for food anymore. Lol What a relief!

Surgery was 6/10

36ibs down and feeling mostly normal. Can't seem to have a normal BM but hoping that'll improve with the blended food. Tracking my weight and movement with fitbit products.

also, I've noticed a stall. Been hovering around 205 for roughly two weeks. Am I just backed up from not having regular BMs or are my expectations of a pound or so every few days too high?

I am getting soooooo. Lose to one-derland.

Current weight. 200.7. Yeah! Almost there

Goal weight 140

Age 60

I was sleeved on 6/24. I am still having a lot of discomfort on my left side. I can hardly tie my sneaker without geing in unbearable pain. How long does this last?

I think it all depends, everyone's body reacts different. I was sleeved on 6/23 after about a week and a half all my pain was gone. Hang in there

Surgery date 6/23

At first I had a rough 1 1/2 weeks a lot of pain and I couldn't get my liquids and shakes in so felt extremely weak all the time. Went back to work this last Monday and as of today things are getting a lot better. The first week I kept asking myself what the hell did I do. But I since I started the soft mushy food stage things are getting better. Almost no pain...here and there when I twist wrong, but I'm back to my workout regimen and starting to run again. The outlook is great and the fact that I don't feel hungry every min and stress over what am I going to eat next has been a gift. But I agree there is a detox stage that everyone needs to go through. It didn't help that I also had my gallbladder out at the same time!
