Hey folks. I was looking to set up a thread for July 2014 sleevers. I believe the other threads were originally back in 2013.

I just had my surgery on July 2. I'm SO glad I did this. My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a host of other problems. I put on another 30 pounds from October to February of this year. I was a good 185 and quit smoking. I ballooned up to 305. I'm self pay and I got to 278 during my pre-surgery.

Since the surgery, I don't think I've been hungry, but I'm still dealing with the healing process. My first postop is Thursday. My only complaint is the low energy level. I knew it was coming, but wow.

I'd like to hear from those who started their life change this month. I am also hoping this can be a thread we can keep tabs on each other, as well as provide motivation when we need it

Hi Everyone! My surgery was on July 21, 2014. So far everything is going very well. Just trying to navigate my way through recovery.

It's normal and will feel different once you start eating. The first time you over do it, you will learn your lesson real fast

I was sleeved on 7/23!! Doing very well, getting in my fluids and my protein ok for now!! I do have a question, I'm having a hard time telling when I'm full, and feel sometimes one more bite makes me feel STUFFED is this normal?

hello, I'm new to this... just got the surgery july 28...working on it...

I was sleeved on 07/28 and I feel pretty good, definitely getting the liquids in and working on those proteins. I feel amazing and ready to work toward hitting goal. Congrats to all July sleevers

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on July 7th and have lost 18 pounds postop. i was wondering how much weight have others lost in that time frame! Im not sure if I have lost as much as I should.

Hi! I'm also 7/7 sleever! I think we lost pretty much on the same rate but remember that it's different for everyone. I've lost so far 19.58 lbs but it stopped today. I guess I hit the famous spot called 'stall' some of my friends even gained weight at some point but they lost more later anyway.

My 3 week stall came early. I lost 14 pounds the first week but only 3 pound since. I know I'm not moving enough but I still thought the weight would fall off at only about 500 calories a day... Hoping to get over the stall soon

July 21 for me. 305 at 4th of July and 265 on July 31. Extremely excited to start a new chapter of my life. I was told this morning that I have not snored in a week or so and I have no knee pain.

Looking forward to the puréed phase of my diet .

Hi y'all I was sleeved on the 14th and so far have lost 21 pounds. I also look at the scale and think ... shouldn't I have lost more today? but the reality is this kind of weightloss is dramatic and exactly what we were looking for when we decided on weight loss surgery.

REmember that normal rates of weightloss with dieting and exercise are 1-2 lbs loss per week.

I see us all on here 2-3 weeks post surgery stating weight loss in the 14-30 lb category and remarking that we'd like to have lost more by now. Dudes! We are rocking the weight loss! Be patient and stick with the liquids or soft foods wherever you are and the weight will *continue* to just fall off of us. This is good people!

Hi everyone I had surgery on July 14th and on my follow up appointment on July 28th I had a total lost of 18 lbs. I'm on soft purée food stage. Any interesting suggestions? Also I'm having a hard time taking 2 protein shakes a day.

I was sleeved July 21st. I'm down 13lbs since surgery and 43lbs all together. I'm having a hard time with eating the smallest thing fills me up for the day. I feel like I'm doing this all wrong I can't get in the protein and I'm still having trouble walking. Anyone else having these problems?

Quick update....I was sleeved on 07/24. I've lost 12lbs since then and 28lbs since 07/11, which was when I went in for pre-op testing. I feel good just really tired all the time with little to almost no pain. I need to increase my protein and my liquid vitamin intake. I'm almost out of the 2 week post op diet so hopefully I'll increase my protein intake with foods in the puréed stage. Tuna, shredded chicken, ground meats etc....I'll also switch to the gummy vitamins.

I'm in NYC and I had my surgery at NYU by Dr. Bradley Schwack.

Sleeved 7/28 and doing really well. Getting all of my fluids in, and trying to get my 60g of protein in, but the protein is tough. I'm so sick of protein shakes!!! I've had some strained cream of mushroom soup with unflavored protein powder, but even that is getting old. Still 10 days until I can advance to puréed! I've been taking walks outside, and resting well. Hope everyone is doing great too!!!

Hey everyone! I am new to the site and new to the Sleeve. I had my surgery on 7/30 and it is now 8/1 so I am 2 days out. I have a few questions. did anyone gain weight after the surgery? I started my 2 week liquid diet at 421. the day of surgery I was 399 now 2 days out and I have put a few lbs back on. it makes no sense to me. the only thing I have had to eat was 1 egg and 2 oz of chicken puree. is this normal? I have been drinking my water like I am supposed to, today I had about 56oz of the required 64oz.

did anyone else experience this as well?

I had my Sleeve surgery done on July 21.. And the first night was very painful due to the gases!!! I took a gas-x thin melt and it helped a lot!!! I am at the end of week 2.. Eating less than 500 calories a day! Its been challenging but tolerable! I get full on 4 oz of soup! I make my own chicken soup and blend it.. Those broths you buy at the store have a lot of sodium.. I started with 228 and I am down to 209
