I'm Ready to Be Sleeved! - Long Island, NY

I was sleeved on 5/19. Weight loss has been going slow, but ok with it for now. At least it will give my skin time to play catch up. I hit a stall or two, but still feeling good about myself and my choices. Wish everyone on this journey a healthy and happy one.

Wow I'm two weeks postop already. I still can't get enough liquids in about 20oz on a good day thats with water,soups and shakes. I also have a half a yogurt. I spoke to my dr. And he said that it is fine; in time I will get the 64 down. As long as I try to increase an oz a day it is ok. I'm a bit sad because I thought I was going g to lose weight a bit fasted then I have been doing. I only lost a few lbs since being sleeved, but again its only been two weeks and I can only walk as a form of exercise. So I have started to increased that a bit. Other then that I'm happy and feeling good. My clothes are becoming a bit lose and I smile everytime I have to adjust them. I went out with my family to eat and sipped on my propel water while everyone had burgers and fries. When some members noticed and asked why i was not eating; my brother and sister laughed and said she is on a see food diet. So I told them all I was sleeved as I worried they would say negative comments, but they smiled and made funny jokes about it and was very happy for me.
No negativity, just was happy that I was happy with my decision, supportive and moved on. Lol one cousin wanted to know how that was going to affect him when he comes to my house. My husband said "oh your out of luck now buddy she does not cook all that food anymore so no leftovers. Lol im blessed and so happy that I choosed to be sleeved! But if people can tell me how they have been losing the weigh, please I would be grateful to hesr some suggestions or advice! Any tips or tricks ???

I had my surgery on Monday and it started off with some difficulties. First I was poked eight times trying to get my IV in. My suggestion to all drink tons of water the day before. But onther then that everything was a blur into Tuesday. After a days rest and off the morphine I was able to walk and talk much better and was able to go home Tuesday night. I have a bite of bloating and discomfort but other than that Im doing well. Im thinking positive and looking forward to my healthy new life. Let's all keep moving forward! !!
