Seems that there are many threads about January sleevers, but now we have a place to call home.

My surgery is January 20th. I'm having my band removed and sleeve at the same time. Currently talking my way through day 2 of this preop all liquid diet... help!

Tomorrow I move on from full liquids to purees. I am down to 290 pounds today. I had one bout of stomach cramps that sent me to the restroom yesterday morning. The only thing I can attribute that too was the small can of V-8 juice that I just tried to introduce.

Hows February going for everyone? I had the dreaded 3 week stall. Its like our bodies go in hibernation. I'm good with it though. after a week.. lost a pound. I"m a low BMI'er so slooooowww weight loss is what I"ve heard

I've hit a stall as well. Sucks! But I'm just gonna keep doing what I normally do and hopefully it'll break soon. I'm going to a wedding in March and it would be nice to have lost some more weight by then.

Hello all, I was sleeved on 1/6/16 and stalled around week 3 for about 10 days. For about a week of that time, I had my period. I get my 70g protein and do 30+ minutes of cardio every day. I'm not very successful at hitting my fluid intake

It was funny that I took one day off from working out and that seems to coincide with when my stall broke. It's been a week since that time and I've lost another 7 pounds.

Sleeved on 1/29. Does any one feel like you have air in your pouch about an hour after you eat. Not gurgling or gas but; like a bubble below where your sternum ends. I'm having a hard time discerning hunger from that feeling...

I don't know if it's the same thing, but I feel that feeling when I've eaten too much or eaten too fast. That is my cue to stop eating. It doesn't take an hour, it happens right away.

Thank you, thank you Ladies! I thought it was just me because I hadn't read anything else that I could find on BP on this subject. I will get the bubblies when I think maybe I've eaten too fast, too much, or too big of bites, right away, so I stop eating thinking my sleeve is trying to tell me to back off. It will however, still bubble up to two or three hours later, and it makes me wonder too, if it is hungry or just still processing an earlier meal. I'm having difficulty recognizing the signs it is giving me.

My nut said to eat over 20-30 minutes but with like only 5 bites I can't do it. Are you all taking 20-30 min?

I try, but I can't stand when my food gets cold. It makes me gag! So I do think that's why I have a tendency to eat quicker. As far as Soups, tea, or coffee, I bought myself a coffee warmer which has helped, but other meals I have to keep reheating in the microwave. Pain in the butt! If we go out for Breakfast out my egg definately gets cold fast, and I just won't finish it.

I love the coffee warmer idea. Thanks!

I was sleeved the 6th. I'm glad to find someone close to my date. How are you feeling? I feel like I didn't even have surgery by today.

Hi There!! I am a 1/6 surgery, too. My recovery was very quick as well. Did not throw up once!

Now I seem to be slowing down with my weight loss. Still can't eat much, so can't figure out why. Always had this problem with dieting before and was really hoping with the sleeve it would be different.

Hello! Mine was January 6th. I feel great! I have energy. I am sure that won't last but I am enjoying it now! I'll be glad to get rid of stitches and eat solid food!

I was a 1/6 surgery, too. Surgery went very well. Quick recovery but now stalled out after losing 23lbs post surgery.

I'm in the same boat! Sleeved 20th Jan. Have lost 24lbs but stalled for last 2 weeks! Saw surgeon and nutritionist yesterday who told me to ditch the scales. Really anxious this is going to be another addition to the long list of weight loss fails.... And a very expensive one at that!!

Sleeved 1/6 too!

I'm down 25 pounds so far, sleeved on 1/21. First two weeks were some big numbers, than the slow down. Can't really call it a stall because I have lost two pounds each of the last two weeks. Looks like this week might be the same.

I get gurgling after drinking fluids. Sometimes I get the gas bubble/bloated feeling after eating.

I have to admit, I am still on the soft food stage and sticking mainly to the safest purees and blandest items on the list - I don't really care what I eat since I am not hungry, anyway. My wife works retail so she is not home for dinner often, no one bugs me if I eat cottage cheese over and over and over again. I tried some hummus last week at the beginning of soft foods - it was not pleasant (bathroom emergency the next morning).

I feel good, though.

Keep it up January sleevers!
