Welcome!! Good to hear that you are complication free. Yes, that's happen to me to I was up and down, one minute I was energetic the next I was so tired. That won't change for awhile. I'm doing good, I'm 7 months out. And the biggest hurdle for me avoiding grazing. I've managed to do it on most days but some days I feel like I don't get enough Protein. I'm at a set number and trying to maintain sometimes I'm at the number then I might go under its a bounce between a few pounds. I didn't have a purée diet just the liquid. Also exercise is easier now I just have to eat more calories something I never thought I would say!!

Have you already hit your goal weight?
My doctors goal, yes.

That's awesome!!! You did that in an extremely short time. Kudos to you! :-)

Thank you. It wasn't easy .. Still isn't. I have too mentally remind myself of a lot of things on a regular basis .. Very easy to get relaxed, how's your journey coming along?

Anyone here?
I’m a Christian and had my sleeve done in February of 2020. I’ve lost 49 pounds and need to lose 38 more. Things are moving super slow. But still losing slowly.

I too was a slow loser .. you will lose it all trust me the first year is the most productive. Don’t give up ... what is your diet like?
I eat pretty good, very small portions still and mostly walking and some 5 pound hand weights for exercising. I think I drink water pretty well but my water drinking could increase.

Then you are on track! How many meals and snacks a day?

Good afternoon, all. I was just scheduled for my sleeve on July 16. I'm excited but scared. I know God is with me in this. I want to use the tools he has given us (doctors, support people, etc.) to become healthier to live for His glory. Thanks for all the supportive comments in this thread!
