At 5 months post-op I had lost a whopping 40 pounds... However, my frustration about the slow rate of weight loss dissipated long ago. I took 17+ months to lose 100 pounds and attain my goal weight. So, yes, I was surely a slower loser. Nonetheless, I've been maintaining my loss nicely and that's what matters. In the past, prior to surgery, I would have regained it all plus more. Good luck to you...realistic expectations are helpful in your journey.

I am 7 weeks post op and for the past 2 weeks I haven't dropped a single lb. I lost 55 the first 5 weeks. But this morning I weighed and I was 5 lbs down. I could tell by looking in the mirror and the way my clothes fit I was losing but it didn't reflect on the scale. I'm so happy to see a lower number. Was starting to get discouraged.

Women's crisis centers often need clothing for interviews and professional attire for women who will be looking for work. I've donated with them locally and they're always very grateful for the donations!

I'm 7 weeks and still have it. From all my research it seems to be that our bodies are in ketosis. Low sugar low carb side effect.

i would say youll be fine-my coworker didnt even have a pre op diet to follow. im sure they told her the best things to eat and not to go crazy but she had no liquids or anything. My doctor has me on full liquids for two weeks. Surgery is monday havent cheated but so so tempting really but i want to change my life way more. Best of luck with everything and again im sure youll be fine.

awesome dude. keep on

So happy about this plate find! Perfect I think for post op!
