Dude, where did you go?

Hey... Am happy you are doing great. Am ok myself only thing is my weight is not coming off as i would like it to but i started off a size 22-24 pants and now i fit a 16 comfortably. Isnt that weird. Everyone is saying how i look so much smaller so i guess am ok with it. Glad to hear from you

Hi Billie! Great to hear from you! Last I knew, you were having a bit of a tough start. 75 lbs?! Sounds like things are now working for you! Are you feeling good? How about exercise? Are you in a good groove?

I am feeling good. I have lost 60 as of today. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what works for me right now. Fruits and veggies are very limited still. Just don't sit well for me.

I have been doing a lot of walking, which has kept the weight loss moving. Hope to go to a gym in the fall for strength training. Hate gyms. Hope I can get it done!

Happy losing, Billie! I knew we could do it!

Hey.... How you doing so far my sleeve sister? I am ok really cant complain much i healed really well and fast. My only problem is am not loosing like i thought i would. Am only 7 pounds down since my surgery. Am still on full liquids ONLY till next week. Let me know how you holding up.

Hi Billie, I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are making out. Have things improved for you yet? Getting your "pouch" to accept more of the fluids and protein drinks? I was sorry to hear that your early surgery result was not quite as smooth as mine, but from what I read on this forum, I am pretty sure I am in the very fortunate minority. Went to the doctor on 05/20/14 for one week check, got ok for pureed and then soft foods whenever I felt like trying. Dr did say I would know if I am not ready for something, yet. I actually had smoked, grilled chicken, salsa and guacamole over the weekend. The quantities are a riot. Looking at the plates for the rest of the family, and then looking at mine made me chuckle-and smile-because my pouch can only handle about 4-6 oz, even of the tastiest food. AWESOME!
My post op weight loss has been less than stellar, but I am fine with this. I try not to think that this will resolve everything in a matter of months, but with seeing some results here, (60,70, 100lbs lost in 6 months??? Holy Cow!!!) it is hard. But I know we are sleeve infants, and must give ourselves time to learn this new path. Best of luck to you. Let me know how you are doing!

How you doin'?

Wow! That's nice. Mine is quite strict. I don't get cottage cheese or anything for 2 more weeks. Let me know how your appointment goes.

I am on full liquids but can have fat free Greek yogurt too. Sf popsicles, protein drinks, and electrolyte water is keeping me going. Only getting about 35 g protein and 40 oz fluids in a day and still having bloating and pain. I'm sorry you are lonely, thank God for my dog during the day. At least I can talk to someone lol. We'll get better each day.

haven't had surgery yet... waiting on final insurance approval. Saw your reply to a thread and it was that you were a little down 8 days out on liquid diet and by yourself. YOU GOT THIS GIRL! Just remember a total stranger just said that to you...lol! I know I will most def need one of these when I am 8 days out!

How are you feeling? I'm headed in to see the Dr for my first follow up.

We sure did it! I didn't get released until yesterday. It is so hard to get the fluids in. Going better today. I can only have clear liquids this week until follow up with Dr Wednesday. I'm glad things are going well for you. Funny thing is I just left a message for you. Lol

Hey Billie, checking in to sed how you are doing!

I was realeased from hospital on Tuesday evening, and have improved every day, since. I did, however, come home with a catheter, since my bladder was still sleeping from the anesthesia, and I couldn't pee before I left the hospital. No big deal. I have it out tomorrow. I have had no problems with the fluids. I have just started protein shakes today and so far so good! And by getting the protein in me, I know I will feel better.

I hope all is going smoothly for you.
We did it!!
