Just wanted to see if anyone who had their surgery this week would want to help motivate and encourage one another.

Hi Jeanette, I had my surgery on the 9th and it has been an interesting ride thus far. Today is the first day that I am able to get liquids down with comfort. How are things on your end?

I am so sorry for not responding! I didn't even realize I had a message. How are you doing? Are you feeling ok? Are you doing well with your new diet? Hope all is well and looking forward to hearing how you are doing!!

I was sleeved 2/8! Down 35 lbs and feeling great!

That is fantastic! Are you eating ok? Exercising? Anything difficult?

Everything is great. The only problems I have had is battling occasional constipation and gas. How are you doing?

I am still having a hard time with eating. It's getting much better, but often feels like things are getting stuck. Constipation sometimes, no real gas usually. Down 40 pounds so far. The last two weeks the number on the scale have stayed the same, but my clothes are really starting to fit differently!

The "stuck" feeling probably means you are full. It is a different feeling from before for me.

Probably. What are you doing for exercise? I'm getting at least 10,000 steps in. Trying to be on the elliptical at least 15 minutes daily. I have three little boys, so just trying stay active and focus on my water and food intake. I just started keeping a food/water/ vitamin diary.

nlo127@live.com, do you mind me asking your beginning stats and your age. Maybe we can keep pushing each other to get our desired results.

I am 38, highest weight 294, surgery weight 290, current weight 259.

I go to the gym about 3 times per week and try to burn 300-500 calories. On average I am on the bike or elliptical for 30-40 minutes.

Female, and my goal weight is 155.

Hey ladies, thought I would join in here. I was sleeved a bit later, Feb 29th, but am close in age and starting weight. Also female, 34 years old, SW 280, CW 259. Things are going well so far for me, just trying to get all the Protein, liquids and walking in that I can.

Sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up!! Would love to have another person to help keep myself accountable and to help motivate each other.

Jeanette no worries for not responding

I am doing pretty well overall, currently on the soft food stage and down about 27 since surgery and 46 since the pre-op diet

I too at times get a stuck feeling but I believe it's my full sign, when I have the feeling I will stick a couple of dissolvable gas x strips on my tongue and it seems to help
