6 Months Out, How Is It Going?

I was sleeved on July 29th and would love to hear from all my fellow July and August sleevers. How has your journey been so far?

I was sleeved 8/3, loving my sleeve. I am down 78lbs including preop, wish it was a little more, but I am grateful. I had a total knee replacement 6 weeks ago, and that has changed my eating pattern and exercising too, but hope to get back on track soon, as soon as I can get off the pain medication. Sounds like you are doing well, thanks for asking.

The hardest part for me is getting in all my water. I was hopping it would get easier as time went on but i still really struggle with this. How are things going with you Ayrw71? From the looks of your stats your doing AMAZING!

Sleeved 8/3/15 and down 88 lbs.

I guess I did kinda forget to mention how I was doin. Lol! The first few months were very difficult. I had constant nausea and vomiting everyday. It has gotting so much better and I would do it all again. My sleep apnea has also drastically improved. I am still learning my "full" spot and sometimes go way too far and it becomes uncomfortable. But I am loving my decision to do this and loving the results. It's great to hear that everyone is going well.

Here's to our continued success!

Wow nausea and vomiting for 2 months! Thats awful and must have been really hard. Im so glad your feeling better!

Great since day one (10/6). Down 86 lbs (overall since 8/10). Living a new lifestyle that works like a charm!

My six month check up is next week. I was sleeved on August 14. HW 230 SW 215 CW 159. I had a horrible stall the entire month of January up until today. Whew! I was starting to panic a little. Great job everyone! It was really hard for me the first 2 months but I love my sleeve now.

I was sleeved on 7/8/15 and am down 129 lbs so far ... 30 more to go to my big goal ... and anything after that is a bonus!

I ( knock on wood ) haven't had any major issues ... still learning what "full" means ...

Discovering so many new and wonderful things that I can do now because this extra person I was carrying around is gone!

I actually enjoy clothes shopping for the first time in YEARS ...

Down from a 32 pant to a 20 and 4xl/5xl shirts to a xl ...

AND ...

I can actually buy clothes in a REAL STORE! No more catalog only shopping for me!

I would do this all over again in a heartbeat ...

BY FAR THE BEST DECISION EVER!

I was sleeved July 29 and am down 117 lbs including preop diet. Along the way I've shed many clothing sizes (50 to 36 in pants; and XXL to L in general) My co-morbidites have disappeared and I'm off all meds but my daily Vitamin supplement and nexium, I feel great and more alive than I have in many years. Still finding my way about what I can and can not eat, but all in all I am really happy I did this!
