I'm curious to know what positive changes April sleevers have already started noticing. Share your changes here!

I was sleeved on April 11th. With the pre-op diet and sleeve, I am down nearly 36 pounds from my highest weight. So far I've noticed that my back no longer hurts when I walk. I also noticed that I'm able to talk while walking to meetings with my co-workers. It's amazing how much of a difference 36 pounds makes!

I watch the food network often. I want everything but don't have hunger for it.

Since eating any sugar makes you sick, does sugar substitute affect you? I use it in my tea and i know it's in a lot of other stuff. Just want to know what to watch out for.

No the encourage us to use a sugar substitute. Some are better than others like the stevia brand which is all natural, but my poison is equal.

I am down 22 pounds and can already feel the difference. My face is thinner and my clothes fit better. I still struggle with low energy but it's getting better each day. I think about food here and there but not as much as I did the first few days after surgery. I was depressed thinking of all the things I could not have. I'm very happy now that I did this and can't wait to see the changes to come.

Good for you. Things will get easier I hope. I have a long way ahead of me and hope I achieve my goals. I've lost 20 lbs so far. But I'm not counting, don't wanna excite myself and do wrong.

I'm with you cbikidci. I should have partnership in equal by now. Glad to know that it's ok to use. i've tried stevia before and it just wasn't as good as equal to me. Thanks

I had my surgery April 3rd. Since then I've lost 26 lbs but I seem to be coming up on a stall. I have been at the same weight for the last 3 days where every day I was losing something. I'm so used to losing that now I get nervous when I don't. I have so much more to lose!

Hello i was sleeved 4/26. Ive since lost 16 lbs. I was told that i have a stomach virus called H.pylira, so im on antibiotics. They cause me to get nauseated after taking. I also work nights so its been kinda hard to sleep at night with some help. But even with all thats going on, im so happy i had surgery. I am noticing such a positive change in my body.

Hello! I was sleeved on 4/19, I've lost 32lbs since surgery, 84 total since starting in July 2016. Things I notice
1) my clothes are alot looser
2) my face, waist are slimmer and the most noticeable to me
3) I can walk thru Walmart now without relying on a motorized cart
4) I don't have the back and knee pain I had before surgery when walking.
5) I'm sleeping better
6) I have more energy
7) besides the stomach muscles hurting I feel better
8) I'm off diabetes and BP meds and have perfect numbers!
9) I enjoy walking more than I ever thought possible
10) I have to set reminders to remember to eat and drink. But I do have a lot of head hunger.

I kinda feel like I'm losing slower than everyone else too. Lost 16 lbs pre op and another 7 lbs post op. Tomorrow is my 2 weeks post op anniversary. Very disappointed at myself for not losing more weight. Getting 80 to 90 grams of protein a day, able to have a total of 64oz of liquid per day and consuming 500 to 600 calories. Still not losing [emoji20] hopefully it will get better.

I was sleeved 4/17/17 and, after a 10 day stall w/ walking 2-3 miles per day for the last 2 weeks, the scale finally moved today. Do not be disappointed as your body is just trying to catch up w/ the trauma it just endured. It will get better as your body heals, you will see the loss reflected on the scale. Rejoice in the non scale victories. A thinner face, looser pants and being able to resist temptation, as hard as THAT can be sometimes! I think when people ask "how much have you lost so far", I might just reply w/ "enough" as the change I see does not match the # reflected on the scale. Besides, I can't expect to lose 30 years of weight gain in less than one month. I know they are just curious but ask me in a year and I will give them a #. You will get there, just give it some time to work.

I also had H Pylori -- the antibiotics are brutal!!!!

I was sleeved 4/12 and so far I'm down 41 pounds and I feel more active then I have been in over 10 years. I got a Fitbit 2 so the past 3 days I've reached over 10000 steps by walking 4 miles plus daily....The Food Network helps me ease my mind when diners drive-ins and dives is on

Hey y'all,

I was sleeved April 13th and so far I have lost 41 lbs. I did reach a stall last week but I noticed today I weighed 185 and that's 2 pounds I was able to lose in about 2 weeks. I did have to increase my calories to 1,000 but an average of 880.

Since surgery I've noticed that I feel happier. I am able to sleep at night for longer periods. I have a Fitbit so it helps me keep track of my activity level. I do have chronic pain and not much change there yet but I'm praying once I reach my goal in about 45 lbs to go I will feel a difference and my pain will decrease. I also cook more now since I have to eat much different than before. I love that my clothes don't fit at all but I do love leggings until I reach that goal. I refuse to buy clothes till I get to 145. I notice my face glows a whole lot more now.

I would like to share for those having issues with calorie intake. I did notice that lamb loin chops have more calories in 2 ounces than chicken does and they taste delicious with rosemary, garlic, thyme and butter. (Mouth watering) with a side of 2 ounces zucchini. Lol

Anyhow, good luck to you all and wishing you the best with your journey. I'm so thankful and grateful I chose to get sleeved.
