Well after lurking and reading this thread since it started I thought it was time to introduce myself and share my experience. I was sleeved 08/20 things went easy, not much pain and although I could only eat and ounce or two, food progression was going well. Felt so go I went back to work after 2 ½ weeks, my only complaint was Constipation which like many of you Miralax was the cure. At exactly three weeks I had terrible abdominal pain and a fever of 102, called my DR at 10:00pm and he instructed me to go directly to the ER. After six hours the Dr assured me it was not a leak, I was admitted with diverticulitis. Well back to clear liquid diet and some major antibiotics, spent four days in hospital that was longer then I was there after my surgery this infection really kicked my butt.

Just hit the six week mark and I’m down 30# which I’m quite happy with, I did hit a stall but it seems to have broken this week when I finally started hitting my Protein goal of 80-90 grams. I’ve definitely notice that I can eat more of some Proteins then others and I am trying to get some veggies and fruit for the Fiber, calorie count is between 600-700. I see the Dr Monday hope he is as pleased with my progress as I am, I’m also hoping to get the ok to start so resistance/weight training.

You all seem to be doing great and I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.

Hey fellow August sleevers. Just want to report I am doing well. Lost 29 lbs from beginning of pre op diet, down 2 pant and top sizes. Been walking almost a mile every day (I need knee replacements). And did 10 minutes of seated aerobic exercises. I feel good. Learning how much and how slow to eat. Bowels are better. As someone else said "this is not a race but a journey". I'm glad I'm on it. Hope everyone is happy with theirs. Ps I'm 65 yo.[/quote

Way to go!

Have my 6 week checkup on Monday and am NERVOUS. I haven't lost as much as I feel I should have. Don't want to be disappointed but afraid I might be. I have lost 2 pant sizes since surgery and almost 2 shirt sizes. The numbers don't reflect that though. But on the other hand NSV of sitting in a normal lawn chair without overflowing it and being able to reach my feet and still be able to breath! I know sounds silly but I couldn't do it before.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
