Started the sleeve process on 9/7/2016 with 1 week Clear liquids sleeved on 9/14 it will be 3 weeks tomorrow and I'm down 31 lbs! For ANYONE out there thinking they can't do it, or struggling with anything in the gastric sleeve weight loss area....don't get discouraged! I am a previous bander and I honestly believed this surgery wouldn't work for me, or as well as I hoped, but 31 lbs in 3 weeks?!? I haven't even started working out yet! Be more committed to making a change and the weight loss WILL happen....little by little it will happen! Removing my band in Dec 2015, waited 9 months per the dr and it is by far the best decision I've ever made! Can't wait to see what size I'll be in by christmas!!!! GOOD LUCK everyone!

Awesome progress @@chevygirl10_24!! I'm excited for you to see what your loss will be by Christmas. My advice as a 3 year vet, take advantage of "honeymoon" period...it definitely gets harder and slower to lose as we get smaller. But, I can almost feel the joy coming out of you while reading your post. I remember those days! Good luck to you and keep us updated.

I'm sure it will.....I like how you refer to the honey moon stage! Lol I'm ok with and when it slows down and I'm sure I will hit the bumps in the road as it seems to be the common issue with everyone....I'm just excited for everyone who makes this huge decision and the transformations no only of the shape of their bodies but most of all the feeling of better health!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
