So had my one month post op and I'm down 27 pds! Stitches have healed nicely and I no longer feel as tired as I did at the beginning. In phase 3 of my diet, so now I can do soft foods finally! The challenges I've been experiencing have been constipation and making sure I'm hitting my Water goals. I'm in the middle of househunting too so things have been a bit crazed. So crazed that I have had to remind myself to eat, something that was never an issue before. All in all, happy to see the progress...tough getting sleeved during the holidays (11/21/16) but it was worth it!

In what world is 28 pounds in a month considered slow? Unless you weigh like 600 pounds to start, that is very fast weight loss.

Me too me too! This coming Monday will be 4 weeks for me.

Yesterday 12/21 was my one month anniversary.

I'm down 35 pounds since the surgery weigh in.

Had no issues at all, no real pain and no problems outside of having to "understand" my stomach and what it can and can't do.

I'm in Stage 4 (for me that's solid food, ground turkey, etc.)

Eating slower, chewing more -- eating far less in portions has been the only challenge.

I haven't started exercising as of yet based on being on a blood thinner.

But today Is my last needle (yes, I've had to administer two needles daily) and I will start my exercise plan post X-Mas.

So far I can say this is the best decision I've made for my health and well being of my life.

I look forward to seeing more weight come off and be much more active.
