Hey all! Just checking in -- life has been so hectic for me for the past few months. I hope all my January Sleevers are doing well! It's been almost 11 weeks for me, and I just hit 53 pounds lost. This is the lowest weight I've been in almost ten years.

I'm thrilled with my progress, but I know I've been relying a bit too much on the sleeve and haven't been working like I should. It's a struggle to change your habits after so many years of...well, nothing. I definitely eat better ...

Hello all, I've been so busy around here I haven't had time to update. Hope everyone is doing well and feeling good! I feel great - a little over six weeks out and 37 lbs down! I can't believe how quickly time has gone. I can see the changes in my body, and am enjoying my clothes being looser (or too big altogether).

I'm eating *almost* normally - there's some things that don't sit well in my tummy just yet (ground beef is a big one). I don't get more than 1/2 - 3/4 cup of food down ...

Eleven days since my surgery and I'm down 20 pounds! I know I've lost more than that from before pre-op too. Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling. I'm so excited for this new chapter in my life. I know the weight loss won't come as easy as it has these first few days but I finally feel as if I've got the right tools to handle it now. Which, of course, I do. thanks to Dr. Boorse!

Starting on purees Friday, can't wait for some meat! LOL

Sorry for the long ass post - just wanted to give a report on my experience so far.

Friday I got to the hospital a little before 8:30. I was sent to OR registration, where they took my name, gave my parents a beeper-type thing (so they would know when I was done), and I waited for someone to take me back. About five minutes later I went back, got weighed, and was led to my pre-op room. I got changed (fully) into my gown after I wiped my arms, legs, torso, and back off with the special ...
