Go to more reply options and there is a thing on the left side to add attachments. I believe that's how I did it.

I'm about 4 1/2 months out and hit 76 pounds down yesterday morning. The first pic is a pic I took about 3 weeks after my surgery and was taken in September of 2016 (so embarrassing!). The second pic I took this morning. I apologize for the angle, I was in a bit of a hurry when I took it. This is definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my life! Good luck to all my fellow sleevers!

Did you have times where you didn't loose weight for a week or more?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah had a couple weeks where the scale didn't move or even went up even though I was making all the right choices. Just have to fight through it and keep making the good decisions. The scale going down will come.

@readytobethin---u look amazing! how did u do it? i am 1 month post op rt now. what are ur secrets????

Sent from my iPhone

Well I lost 254 of my total on my own with a low carb, high Protein diet. I had VSG surgery in July 2016 and have continue the same diet post-op. I'm moving more and eating much better than I was. Just stay focused. Follow your prescribed plan from your medical team. Know that stalls and plateaus will happen. Just make adjustments and work through them. The most important thing, DON'T GIVE UP!!

Feel free to follow and message my FB page if you need any other tips. :)

Thank you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
