Hi all I noticed there are several people being sleeved on the 1st. Introduce yourselves and let's motivate each other and keep in touch! I'll go first. I'm 5'5" HW 242

CW 232 GW 160. I am extremely nervous about the procedure, but I am also excited.

Finally hit the gym and feel great. How is everyone else doing?

It feels so good to be moving. But man! I am out of shape!

I'm trying to go back today but I'm nervous because I also had a hernia repair. Afraid of over doing it.

I had a hernia repair too. Just take it easy. Ur body will tell you if you had enough.

Has anyone had any stalls last week and this week? I have been fluctuating between 236-234! Start wt was 260.

This is my first week where I have stalled and I feel so sleepy and nothing is working right.

Having trouble drinking Water... it gets stuck and hurts going down. I have only been able to get 1 Protein shake down a day.

The only thing that settles is cheese so now I'm scared I'm going to constipated myself.

I keep reminding myslef. ... each day is a new day.

Weight loss slowed to a creep. But it's still a loss

I've been at a stall for 4 days

Sigh....

Glad I'm not alone here

I lost 1 lb again. I am like.... helloooo! I can't possibly eat any less.

It gets better. I weighed in 2 lbs heavier today. Seriously? Wtf

I am also finding it hard to swallow. 5 weeks out now. Looks like a spoonful of Peanut Butter and some Isopure for dinner.

My doctor warned me that after about 5 to 6 weeks my hiatal hernia repair would bother me again because it eventual firms up and then it's hard to swallow things. It's week 7 for me and it happened exactly like he said. It's just finishing up healing.

Excellent news then, you're progressing well!

A few days ago, I had to lay flat onto a table to have a body scan. Before that day I had been obsessing about GERDS and getting worked up like I do when I let my anxieties take over. So I thought for sure I'd lie down and all this Fluid would come gushing up my throat because I had been drinking Water in the lobby.

NOTHING happened. =) My LES was closed tightly. The scan took about 13 minutes so if it was going to happen I was thinking it should have. I could even feel blood rushing to my face, that is how flat I was.

I had a hernia repair as well, so I think we have both come out of it nicely! Perhaps what I was feeling was my repair, not only did I require a repair, but scar tissue from a previous banding had to be cut off and that has been healing.

Silly me. Praise GOD!
