Hey Hey Hey. Motherofthree checking in.

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.

I welcome you to the losers bench FLGrammy. Glad you are doing well and I hope you will have a good report on Monday.

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!

Yep, same surgery date, same annoying stall.

Welcome FLGrammy! I have the same surgery date. Hope things are going better for you now...

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.

[motherof5 364]

don't be nervous. Those are awesome nsv's! Keep us posted.
