    Does anyone else feel like it’s surreal? I’m just going about my life as if I’m not having surgery in a few weeks. I’m trying to get my thoughts on order but I don’t even know where to start with prep

  • How are my fellow February sleevers doing? Haven't heard much from you guys in awhile! I'm 7 weeks out, feeling good, and adapting well to my forever diet. I lost 22 lbs. on the 2 week pre

Just had my three month check in today. It was over the phone with the nurse since I’m an out of town patient. She said I’m losing faster than I should and to try to keep up my fluid and protein since I told her I was struggling. She had the surgery herself 5 years ago so saved me the lecture about making sure I’m following the diet to a T. I appreciated it! I’m 30 pounds to how already!

Anyone else looking into plastics already??

This month is 6 months out now for us 2019 February sleeve Surgery twins!

How are we all doing? Any common problems? Everyone looking and feeling great?

I am down over 90lbs. and would love to lose another 25-30 lbs. - but as expected losing is getting slower.

Only negative issues for me so far;

1. I was really tired for a few months after surgery butt that is better now, much more energy than before surgery!

2. I have woken up several times at night choking on stomach acid. Not eating for a couple hours before bed, and we got a bed that props my head up a bit and that seems to have resolved that for the most part at home, however when I travel for work I tend to eat later, and stay in hotels where the beds are flat is certainly when I have the issue most often.

3. I do have some loose skin, but its not terrible...

4. I have thrown up a few times but only if I take my multivitamin on an empty sleeve...

For the positives - I Look better, I sleep better, I feel better, I( have more energy, and many more!

I hope you guys are all doing great - let us know!

I have my 6 month check-up in 10 days and will be 6 months post-op the 25th. I have lost 75 pounds and am happy with it. I can fit into a booth easily now and overall feel much better. I still have 85 pounds to lose, but taking it one day at a time and hopefully can get there by 1.5 year post-op. Stay in touch everyone!

Hey Feb Sleevers, how is everyone hanging so far? I've lost almost 125 lbs since 24th Feb, and its going great.

Is anyone else starting to grow an appetite to nibble anything now and then?

Attached is a photo for my current progress.
