Lost my first 50lbs in 2 months!
Everything is moving along just great! I am back on solid foods. I am starting to meet my fluid and protein goals and I feel ok. I do have the problem with looking in the mirror and actually noticing the weight loss. Everyone else can see it, but I still see the same ol fat me. I havent really incorporated heavy excercising yet, but i plan to soon. I did ok during Thanksgiving, even though I was terrified. I thought I was going to be sad that I couldnt eat but i had my lil taste of whatever I could have and I moved on. I mostly enjoed my family and friends and laughed and had a good time. I did however have some Pinot Noir and it went down very well. I didnt have any funny feelings the next and I was ok. I think its weird now eating also. Hunger is so much different. Like before I could just go without eating and not worry about it, but now when I need to eat, I have to. Its like my body has control over me instead of the other way around. My only side effect so far is my excessive belching. I'll take that and live with it. But other than that, all is well. I am in love with my sleeve. No regrets here!
You are doing great! Congratulations on your first 50 pounds in just 2 months! That is exceptional. Keep up the good work.

Glad things are going well, although I'm shocked that you decided to try alcohol so soon after surgery. I'm not supposed to have any for the first year post-op.
