As a July 1st sleever, was just wondering how everyone was doing. Is your weight loss where you expected it would be? Are you feeling better/healthier? Any surprises? Any depression going on?

Nice to talk to a fellow July 1st sleever. I have lost 26 pounds since the day of surgery and 44 since June 1st when I started the presurgery diet. I am still thrilled with the surgery but it is hard to follow the food rules when family gatherings are going on. I haven't hit any stalls yet but am waiting for one to hit. How are you?

Hi jgj, I am down 46.5 pounds since surgery and 61 since my first appointment with the surgeon. I have yet to be able to get in enough Protein, fluids or calories. I "blue" so much of the time I'm actually on antidepressants and had the dosage raised in the last month. Don't understand why. Hit a stall that lasted 3 weeks at 3 weeks, so that was expected.

There is very little I actually like to eat. It seems like more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for answering!

I'm a July 18 sleever and as of last Friday down 45 lbs. loosing a pound a day. Would like it to be more but I'm good with that. To big still to do to much exercise, don't need a fracture. Lol. I'm 45. Best thing I've ever done for my self. Good luck to you. I'm extremely depressed also since the surgery. Gonna have my shrink up my med. and I have a constant headache on the right side of my head. See the dr on Wednesday for that. These drs will mickle and dime you to death. Good luck to you.

I was sleeved June 30. I have lost 27 pounds since surgery. Physically I feel good but it has definitely gotten harder for me because I seem to have a sleeve of steel and everything goes down super easily. Still trying to find my way- I do not want to return to eating junk...
