calling all my March 2012 sleeve sisters and brothers!!
Hey Sleeve Sisters/Brothers:
I love my sleeve too. I'm down 59lbs and looking forward to getting to goal. I eat around 600-700 calories, try to stay under 40 carbs and seem to drink a lot more water when I'm working out. I work out 3 to 4 days a week, burning between 300-450 calories.
The sleeve can get frustrating and I do miss enjoying a real meal and eating and drinking at the same time, but I do love seeing numbers on the scale that I haven't seen since High School - Catch 22! Oh and I do miss drinking alcohol cause the new job is stressing me out. Then again, maybe its best I don't drink or I would have been an alcoholic by now, LOL!

I am down 103 pounds total, 50 since surgery! I love my sleeve!!
I was on meds for type 2 diabetes and for high blood pressure before surgery, I came off both the day of surgery and have had normal blood sugars and blood pressures since then. I have had no trouble with nausea or vomiting. I still drink a shake every morning to make sure I get my protein for the day, I don't think that will be changing anytime soon.
I have lost a lot of hair. It started before surgery, my doc thinks the pre-op diet was such a big change that it caused the hair loss to start. It seems to be slowing some, but still quite a bit coming out. No regrowth in sight so far. Wish me luck. I also have loose skin under my arms and on my thighs. I'll take it any day over the same skin filled out with fat!

Hi
This is a great eye opener for me...TO EXERCISE! I have lost 56 pounds in 3 months and I havent exercised at all(o,1 hour squash a week).
I have lost super slow the first 2 months and then it picked up speed (a lot) in the last month.Dont know why.
We are starting our exercise plan tomorrow and I will commit to it.
Great going everyone!

I'm down 51lbs as of today, and hit the 50 mark just in time for my surgiversary. I'm super happy! I'm in size 14 pants and large tops. I work out an hour + 6 days a week, and I'm to running 6 miles (or I was until I injured myself). I have my 2nd 5k on July 4th and I'm now training for a sprint triathlon in August as well as the Army 10miler in October.
I had horrible nausea from about 5 weeks to 9/10 weeks. Then it just went away. Made my life a ton easier! I've had to go back to protein drinks this week because of the heat. It's the only way I can keep myself hydrated AND get my protein in.
I'm now 4 lbs from being just overweight and that is super exciting. I'm 34 lbs from being a normal weight (though that's not my goal) and that is also REALLY exciting!!!
