July 24th and down 40lbs. Feel great. Definitely think weight loss is slowing down a bit. I need to be doing more exercise and focus on reaching my Protein goal. Other than that, I can pretty much eat everything! But what difference 40lbs makes!!

Hi @Leanbean yes. I can pretty much eat everything as well. I feel great with the weight I’ve lost and can now fit into size large shirts. What a difference.

Wanna being this thread back to find out how my buddy July sleevers are doing. I was sleeved July 10th and doing great. Down 50 pounds.

July 16th here.... down 40 since surgery day.... I feel like it has been slow and steady. Sometimes I stay at the same weight for a few days then after that I go down about 2 lbs here and there. I eat pretty much whatever I want yet being smart with food choices, obviously Protein is most important. I also make sure I walk alot each day and/or go to the gym. I think 2 months out, almost 3 at 40 lbs down since surgery i'm satisfied that I will continue my journey and reach my goal

July 31st. Today I hit the 40# lost. I feel like I'm not losing fast enough but at least I'm losing! I would probably lose faster if I would get up and exercise more. I'm really working to get there with exercising on a more regular basis. I'm happy with the foods I can eat and haven't had any issues with food so far. I eat mostly Protein and a few veggies and I'm okay with that and so is my surgeon.

Hi, sleeved July 10th and down 50lbs. I’ve have been really sick the past 8 weeks with a upper respiratory infection. After two rounds of antibiotics I am starting to feel much better. I have my 3 month doc appointment tomorrow. I’m super nervous because since I was sick I wasn’t getting all my Vitamins and Protein in. Not sure what my bloodwork will show!

July 23rd surgery down 62lbs since surgery. I am very active though, hard not to since my energy is way way up. We just did our full run of blood work to make sure there is no Vitamin deficiency or lack of Protein etc and it came back perfect.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
