Once you start eating foods take SMALL bites. I didn't realize it was that important until I kept getting food stuck and threw up a couple of times. It's not fun, so make sure you only swallow a small bite at a time. Lol0

Hi, I am Michelle from Gulfport, MS. I was sleeved just eight days ago on Jan 5, 2015. I have struggled with my weight most all of my life and 5 years ago I had lap band and lost 110 pounds, but ended up with complications that caused the band to not work. Over the years I regained most of the weight and began to have more problems so the band needed to come out and my surgeon was able to convert it to a sleeve. I am excited to get a second chance and learning to a new healthier way of life!

Hi...I'm Holly from Arizona. I had surgery 1-9-15 and have lost 40 pounds so far. I know that is good...but I still wish it was faster. Lol. I get so bummed when I weigh and don't lose anything...or gain for no reason. Water I'm sure...but I want the numbers to keep going down! I have already had a stall (lasted 1 week) where I lost NOTHING.0

Hi! My name is Bonna, and I had my surgery 07/24/2013. I topped out about 313 and am currently bouncing around 205-213lbs. I live in the Indianapolis, IN area. I would like to get another 20lbs off by summer, so I am trying to get refocused. I am still pretty good with the quantity I eat. It is the quality that is keeping me from my goal. I am also trying to get back on track with my exercising and not making excuses.0

I am Rene' from Wyoming. I had the sleeve Feb. 13. I love it so far but am amazed at the amount of mental cravings I still have. The hunger isn't there but the cravings are. Anyone else struggle with this?0

Hi - my name is Julie and I am in Chicagoland - Illinois. I am approved for surgery for Gastric sleeve and expect to be scheduled end of March/early April. I admit I'm scared! Feel like even though I've already been doing a VLCD it's not coming off...hoping that changes after surgery. Trying to start to prepare pre-op and looking for some friends and support.0

Hi, I'm Marian and I live in Scotland, near Edinburgh. I had sleeve done on 5 February 2015. Starting weight before pre-op was 289lbs and now, 257lbs. I'm definitely getting enough protein but struggling a bit with drinking enough water and doing enough exercise. Any tips?
Looking forward to making some new friends0 -
Hi! My name is Joyce. I was sleeved on 2/2/15 six weeks ago today. I am 30 lbs down. I thought that it would come off faster but I am committed to this so I guess slow and steady will be my mantra. I may not be where I want to be but at least I am not where I was.
