I had sleeve surgery on 03/24/16 and I feel great! HW 253. SW 236. CW 208. I was walking most days until we started flooding here in Houston, and I have not gotten back to working out.

I haven't had any problems from day one. I even questioned if the surgeon really did anything because I didn't have any nausea or problems meeting my intake goals.

I get between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day, high Protein low carb.

Surgery 30 March. SW 123kg CW 104kg... I feel pretty good, i follow a high Protein diet, try and stay around 1000 to 1200 cals and at least 2 litres of Water.

I have not been exercising, aside from running after my twin toddlers - and this is something that i want to focus on seriously once we move into our new house by the end of July.

My hair has been breaking n has become super fragile.. But it hasn't bothered me too much since i keep it in braids most of the time.

How has everybody else's progress been?

I had my surgery on 3/22/16 and feel GREAT. My HW: 318, SW:280 and CW: 214.6. I would say this has been the best decision of my life.

I did suffer one complication which is Constipation but thats it. I've been working with my surgeon and her team to increase my Fiber.

As far as exercise I did go to the gym before surgery and would do the treadmill and the elliptical. I have been back to the gym and find that I have to run now in order for my body to feel like it is working out. I'm excited for future results.

Due to increased workout my surgeons wants me to try to get to 1000 calories a day. I'm currently anywhere between 650-850. If I don't hit the 1000 it's ok but I have to remember to give my body the appropriate rest before I run again. Now I can run anywhere from 3-4 times a week. I also do strength training.

I did personal training immediately at 2 months when cleared to exercise and it was difficult. However now my body has adapted and wants more.

Congrats EVERYONE!!!!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
