    Default I'm new here! Would like to make friends.

    Hi all. I just joined. I just entered into my 5th month ..61lbs down. 48lbs to go.

    I had a sleeve for health reasons. My blood pressure has really improved as well as other health concerns I had..and I'm loving my new body shape and my confidence has really improved.. would love to make friends.. I don't mind if your pre op or post. I also don't mind offering support or answering questions to people pre op or early out. It's flown by so fast.

    Welcome. You've done really well so far. I'm just a bit cranky that I can't eat anything as yet.
    It's only been a week and a half.
    I know it takes time to heal, did you have any problems along the way?

    And I'm currently 5 days out from my surgery. We're a pretty well rounded group, I think.

    Welcome! We are all friends. It sounds like you are doing great! I'm 4 years from surgery and still use this site for accountability. Love it, and I think you will too.

    Hi there ! Congrats on your surgery !
    I felt quite cranky and irritable till week six ! Because when I was able to eat normal food it was easier. No problem with my sleeve. Couple or normal stalls but then also some months of the weight just pouring off me. I'm at a point were it feels effortless. It will get easier for you

    Thank you for the welcome. And that's is amazing that you still come here for accountability. That's a great idea. I can't imagine what it would be like four years post. A year seems far away ha.
