Good luck! The main tip I have is just to follow your doctor's orders/recommendations. Also, on the internet you tend to hear all the horror stories and your surgeon's office is probably telling you all these bad things that can happen. Personally, my biggest issue has been constipation, but no other digestion or tolerance issues.

I was sleeved November 9th, best decision ever! Follow your doctors orders, is the biggest piece of advise I can offer. They won't steer you wrong! If you like y'all can friend me and we can keep up with each other's journey!0

Hello everyone is there a way to set this to the fact that you had the sleeve because 2310 cals seems like a lot0

@kkindle23 there's no option to set things for any WLS, unfortunately. You have to go in and manually change your calories and macros. If you consume less than 1000 calories a day, and you try to "end" your day, MFP will yell at you and tell you you're not eating enough. Just ignore it. I think all of us need to start contacting MFP with requests for alterations according to WLS. 0

I was also sleeved December 10th!0

I got mine on November 16th. It has been hard at times, but as I am learning it is trial and error with the foods that I can eat. I can't eat ham. But it is a learning process.0

Congratulations to all the November and December "sleevers"! What a way to start 2016!0

I was sleeved on December 8th !! Feel amazing but I thought the weight would come off faster ( from what I saw on you tube.. Lol) . How is everyone doing ? What was surgery weight and where are you now ? So happy I found this group !0

@jaymug424 My surgery was on 10/15/15, I am down a total of 44 lbs. I am losing slower than I had anticipated as well, but I'm happy. Everyone is different. I try not to compare myself to others anymore. I really got myself worked up for a bit, but now understand my body is different and will lose at the rate it's comfortable. I follow my nutritionists' plan, I work out regularly with both cardio and weights, I do everything I need to do...so I'm happy when I lose. Glad you're doing well!0

Hi everyone! I was lapband to sleeve revision, had my surgery on December 8th. I've lost 16 pounds, and finally had to step away from the scale, because I was making myself crazy with it! Seriously, like weighing multiple times a day, and being hard on myself when it would creep up a few ounces, even knowing full well this can happen. I'm glad I found this group :-)0

Hello ladies.. I don't remember if I introduced myself here.. I'm Marci and I was sleeved on 8/25/15. Today I hit the 80lb weight loss mark.. Woohooo! I'm feeling great. Trying to get my protein in every day is a challenge for me, and I've just started losing my hair, but it's not too bad. My before and after pic is my profile photo for now.. Best wishes to all!!0

@mg_89 80lbs is AWESOME! I'm so close to that I can taste it! About your hair...how is your fat? A lot of times people go too low on fat and that can have an effect on your hair. We need protein, fat, and certain minerals to help protect our hair. Try to add avocado (guacamole), cook with coconut oil, use hummus in salads (chicken, tuna, etc), to get your fat up to about 40 grams a day. (if it's lower) I'm only 3 1/2 months out and struggle getting my fats in, but try really hard because I don't want to lose my hair!!!!
Good luck to you!0 -

Thanks! Not too bad, actually.. Really, feeling great. My first week out from surgery, I had major buyer's remorse... But after the first week, I felt so much better and definitely keeps getting better. Thanks for the tips.. And best of luck everyone!0 -

Hi Ladies! I was sleeved on 12/10/15 too. I also thought the weight would fall off quicker. I just hit 30lbs down. I have little restriction(can gulp drinks, no food bothers me) Honestly, sometimes I wonder if they actually removed some of my stomach. Doing well eating no breads, pasta, rice, and no sweets. The only "problem" I have had is not being as "regular" as before.....0

@Lareynita11 It's not "JUST" hitting 30 lbs! You lost an amazing amount of weight in less than two months! Think about the last time that happened! Some lose slower than others, but it still comes off. Also, for me, I was super slow the first two months, my surgeon was starting to doubt me, and gave me my "on target" goal for my four month appointment. That appointment is February 17. I just surpassed his goal TODAY! So give it time!
When you say you have little restriction, are you meaning to the types of food you can eat or that amounts? I have little restriction based on food type, but I am DEFINITELY restricted based on amounts! At 3 1/2 months out, I'm eating about 2 ounces of protein, 1/4 cup veggies (more for things like raw spinach), and 1/8 to 1/4 cup starch (beans, fruits, etc). I fight to get my calories over 850.
The day after my surgery my surgeon ordered a test to make sure there were no leaks. I got to see the films. (He was quite excited to show me, it was actually quite awesome, he told me I was an "ideal" outcome...so I don't want to screw it up!) It's part of the reason I KNOW my stomach was reduced! I saw it!
Feel free to add me on here, message any time...good luck!0
