I want to see who else had surgery on the same day so we can keep and touch and see how each other is doing. So far I guess I am doing okay, I have lost 18 pounds my first month. I have joined the gym and really want to get this ball rolling. I start eating my lifetime foods on May 6th and I can't wait.

Seems like I am one month behind you. Feeling great! Able to hold down all of the liquids I can have. Not the least bit hungry. Can't wait to add some creamed Soups, only because the chicken broth is not my favorite taste. Right now, nothing taste better than Water to me.

Hi, I was sleeved on 3/25 too. I lost 30 pounds the first 4 weeks but haven't lost anything in the last 2. I'm trying not to get discouraged since 30 lbs is a lot in a month. I can move on to soft foods now. I haven't had much trouble with any food yet. Some things seem to sit in my stomach for a long time like egg salad. I did eat a little bit of tortilla and it sat like a brick for hours. No tortillas for a while!

I was if the torilla was softened or ground if it would work? I love the flavore of corn torilla's.

Don't get discouraged. Losing 30 lbs is amazing!!!

What was the first added food you chose to eat? I am dreaming of a taste of mashed potatoes or apple sauce as I sit here recovering on day five. Can I tell you how much I hate watching TV? If there was ever a reason American's are overweight it has to do with the amount of commercials that are food related. Even during the thousands of infomercials on weight loss items like home gyms and exercise videos, there are dozens of ads for food. It's starting to be painful.

Keep up the great work

The first real food I had after full liquids was scrambled eggs. I was so looking forward to them and they were a big let down. Kind of tasteless and sat like a brick in my stomach for hours. I now eat soft poached eggs no problem, delicious!

I've since gone out to eat with family and had potato Soup and it was so good!

I REALLY CAN/T UNDERSTAND WHY MY scale HAS NOT MOVED!

How is it possible to have not a bite of food cross your lips in over 7 days, and have 80% of your stomach removed...and not a pound shows gone on the scale? To make matters worse, I am so uninterested in chicken broth. I have had 2 sugar free jellos and a couple of popsicles. Other than that, I am only drinking water! I am so ready to see the scale move!!!

I said the same thing Rhonda4524, I think it is because you are not eating enough. That is a very weird thing

I was sleeved 3/26 and down 30lbs as well. I have been eating solid foods for a couple of weeks now. I am averaging about 5 lbs a week still and am very happy with that. I don't mind taking is slow, as long as it comes off.

I am going to try to eat a little more of the Soup broth starting this afternoon. I am so ready to see at least some changes. You both are doing terrific! Just think how difficult it is to lose one pound without this surgery. To lose 5 lbs a week is going to make a remarkable difference very quickly.

Keep up the great work!

I was sleeved on the same day 3/25. I have lost 40lbs so far. I'm so happy to be on solid foods. I try to make sure I get in Protein first. I can't do another Protein shake. When I tried one a few days ago, it came right back up. I am doing pretty good. My PCP wants me to come in and do another physical just to check my levels and make sure I'm not having any Vitamin deficiencies. I will definitely make that happen sooner rather than later. I experience some fatigue at times but I try to get in more Protein. I haven't gotten started with a gym workout. I walk and that's about it for now. My intake is still rather small but I am experimenting with different foods to see how I tolerate them. I can tell you right now bread is not the move. I can do a wrap but of course only half of it. Sugar is definitely out. I also find that things high in fat, carbs, or sugar will send me right to the rest room. Oh, nothing fried either.

Good luck everyone on reaching your goals.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
