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.

I was sleeved on 3/31. I've lost about 34 lbs since my surgery, with a stall the last 2 weeks. I was beginning to think I was not doing well. Thanks for your posts, they're encouraging!

@@crayon67, we are basically going the same pace let's both stay on track and keep in touch.

I would like that. I have hit 40 lbs as of this week. Just went to my sons college graduation and wore a dress that I couldn't wear for 5 years. This feeling is just indescribable!

@@crayon67 40 pounds ARE YOU SERIUOS, that is so good. I need to know your secret I am at 8 weeks 26 ponds WTH. lol Am I doing something wrong or is it just slow for me.

7lbs before surgery the rest post op! I do an hour on the treadmill every day and just really stick to the 3oz protein. I do go days without losing anything then boom I lose 2 lbs. I do eat salad now as well and some veggies (not a huge fan of cooked veggies) my family really roots me on as well when I'm thinking I want something (chocolate) they will tell me think before you eat! Lol I do and the feeling goes away most of the time. I have a quest bar for breakfast most mornings because it's quick and easy. Tuna or an egg or cottage cheese for lunch then chicken, fish or some kind of protein for dinner. If I get a sweet tooth I make sugar free pudding or have a sugar free fudge pop. We are all doing great! GO US!

So I am 7 weeks post op and have lost a total of 28 lbs, but that is pre - op and post op! If I'm counting only post op then my number would be 22lbs in 7 weeks. I'm averaging about 2lbs a week, which is in the right direction but just feels so so slow! I am not doing any strenuous exercise but I am walking a lot. I drink my protein and eat my protein. However, it feels like my sleeve doesn't restrict me as early as it should. In the mornings I can eat an entire bowl of cream of wheat at one time and am hungry again within 2 hours! I take all of my vitamins like I should and am very consciences of what I'm consuming. I do feel like "how much" I'm consuming could be an issue but I'm still only getting about 8-900 calories a day. Any advice from anybody? Am I making a big deal of nothing or do I really have good reason to be worrying right now? Just dont want it to turn into a bigger problem later.... So any and all advice welcome!

sleeved on 3/25/15. Pre-op weight was 230. Day of surgery was 227.

4/24/15 - 205

5/20/15 - 195

Hit a stall and had a couple of bad cheat days but back on track.

I was sleeved on 3/26 and have lost 34 lbs. it seems like we are all in the same average which is reassuring that I'm getting it right. Good to know. Let's checkin again next month:).

OK, so I guess I am somewhat in the same range, just a little slower. I think it's time that I start incorporating exercise and being diligent about it! Thanks for the encouragement, I will definitely be checking in next month! ????

Sleeved on 3/25 and j have lost 61.4lbs including my 2 week pre-op diet. 75lbs from my highest weight (6/7/14)

I was sleeved on 3/20/15 and total weight gone is 35 pounds since surgery. I hit a 3 week stall that just ended a few days ago. I changed up my exercise routine and food intake and the scale moved again. I actually fit on the ALL carnival rides today..... first time since 2007. I was so happy I happy I cried. Good Job to everyone! It's not an easy journey, but it's YOUR journey, make the most of it.

I realize more now, just how much i have lost. Ive lost more inches than i have pounds. Ive dropped 3 pant sizes and am really feeling the difference now. The key is to just try and be patient which i obviously have had a hard time with. Keep up all the good work sleeve buddies!!

I had my surgery 3/23/15. I am doing well. My only issue I am having, is I cant get all my fluids in.

Crayon67 do you have protein shakes etc to get your ptotein in? Or maybe I need to ask what protein requirements does your Dr have? I just feel I need to switch it up to step up my weight loss.

Sorry haven't been on in a few days. I try not to drink a shake every day but I do still drink them. I usually have a quest bar for lunch and eggs or cottage cheese for breakfast. Then for dinner a meat protein. My dr wants 60-90 grams a day. It's hard to reach when I'm working so I do rely on shakes and bars more on those days.

Hi! I was sleeved 3/19 and I am gone 48lbs! Yay! I have had stalls along the way. Still working on getting enough fluids everyday.
