Hey Everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but thought I would update my status for any newbies who may be researching or looking for positive support. I am still LOVING my sleeve. She and I have had our ups and downs, she didn't like sugar (or sugar substitutes) for quite some time. If I ate something, it would come back up within 15 minutes of consumption, brown rice was the worst reaction I had. At about 2.5-3 months out I had issues transitioning to real foods, some vomiting after meals if I ate too fast or didn't swallow well. That passed - YAY - and now things are much better. It took about a month for me to feel stronger and have more energy, I am back to my normal energy levels now. Since my pre-op appointment I am down 48 lbs WOOOO, 48 LBS!!! I have had a few stalls, last one was 20 days, my current stall has been 12 days. I know I am losing inches when the scale doesn't move, my belts get looser (I had to buy a new one) and my clothes fit better. BUT, some days I just WISH I could drop the last few lbs I need to move into my new BMI category of Overweight! I have started hiking, and want to start biking too, I love the energy I have and the joy I feel every morning slipping on a size 12 pair of jeans. I started out in an 18/20 that was TIGHT...so happy to be down four pant sizes and going from an 18/20/2XL to a size L/XL shirt! Have a great day everyone! Erin
