Hope all is GREAT!

It was 2 months for me August the 22nd. I haven't had any problems either. I cant believe it. I thought I was starving to death after having to drink liquids. I go to the doctor on Monday cant wait to see what I weigh. I drink my protein shake in the morning and I make sure I eat my protein first because you do get full fast. I find myself piling food on my plate at dinner only having to throw it away. So, I started eating off of the smallest plate.

Day 6 - still learning to sip. Getting down about 64 oz of fluid and 50 grams of protein. Walking a path in my hardwood floors. Wonder if the gas is ever going to go away...

[Roman]

Sounds great all around, everybody! Sounds like good news on all fronts! And, don't worry Nina. The gas WILL go away. I had BAD gas a few times on days two and three after my surgery. It was KILLING me, but I haven't had any issues since then. EVERY DAY will get better and better!!!! Just hang in there!

Me, I am getting sleeved on Thurs. I am sitting in the direct path of the hurricane and playing on FB and reading Gastric Sleeve. FUN SAT night!!!

It has been 76 days for me and I have lost 40 pounds. I am feeling great! This was a wonderful decision.

30 days left before I jump on the chopping block and let the surgeon have a go at my guts. I can't wait! This last month is going incredibly slow and I have never been more ready! My wife is going for her consult with the surgeon on 9/8, and her surgery will be around 12/19 - so we'll both be sleeved by the New Year.

2 months out. Doing great. Absolutely no problems. Best thing I've ever done for myself. I HIGHLY recommend the Sleeve for anyone who needs it. It has definitely changed my life.

4 months out. It is the easiest and best gift I ever gave myself. I FEEL MARVELOUS AND LOOK IT TOO-lol (just kidding, but my confidence is sky high right now!)

I feel better everyday. I overdid today and I am really paying tonight, but after sleeping I know I will be fine. No problem with any kind of soft food, even chewed and chewed on a few bites of chicken today. Did fine. Started keeping a food journal, gettting about 600 calories per day. My Dr said 60 protein and I am meeting that . Cannot for the life of me remember to sip so have to hold water in mouth and let little at time go down. That is the hardest thing for me. I am sooooo happy that I did this. I am only going to weigh and record once per week but by my clothes I know I have lost weight or inches one. Dread the hair loss because don't have much hair anyway, is anyone at that point? I recommend this to anyone.

Today is my 4 month anniversary of my new birthday! I've lost 51 lbs and 40+ inches off my body. I feel great and I average 8-10 lbs loss a month now.

My only wish... I'd taken this path sooner!

I am almost 4 months out, and I am doing fine. I can eat anything I want, just not much of it! I only weigh once a week or so, and it has been very stubborn the last couple of weeks. I am looking to my first major milestone--- under 300 pounds. I should just about be there, so that would be about 60 pounds in the 4 months---15 pounds a month should be enough for anyone!

I am having some hair loss, which bugs me a lot. My hair is pretty thick, so I don't think anyone really can tell except me, my husband, and my hairdresser. Still there is hair everywhere, which is annoying. I have slacked off on keeping track of everything I eat every day, but I think I am getting about 1000 to 1200 calories a day. The one thing I need to do better is exercise. If I got more regular with it, I know the weight would come off more quickly.

Roman, thanks for starting this thread. Such a good idea to have everyone "check in".

5 1/2 months out, 72 pounds gone. I am doing great and love this journey. I feel so freakin skinny and can hardly believe what I see in the mirror. I'm down to a size 10!

I have a picture I took on my phone and posted it on my Facebook as my profile picture but I don't know how to get it posted here so here is my fb link:

I've had some hair loss, started around month 4 but I am not too concerned about it, as I understand it will subside soon
