I had my surgery on October 25th and I have lost 14 pounds. I feel your pain and I am also very frustrated. I have been walking a lot and people have commented that I have lost weight. I expected to lose much more by now but there isn't much I can do about it. We have gotten through the most difficult part (well, I still have 5 days until I can eat but you're there!) so we need to follow through and know that this WILL work if we follow the plan. Hang in there

Down 9.6lbs a week out from surgery! That's INSANE. I'll take the crazy losses while I can get them lol

I found one called Inner peace at a music festival and fell in love. But sometimes those fresh eucalyptus & citrus scents are so invigorating. Sandalwood is soothing I find also.

Had my surgery on Friday 10/27 afternoon. I was doing so well in recovery that they released me after only one night in the hospital I've been super fortunate so far, only needing one pain pill in the hospital, and right now just taking liquid ibuprofen. I've been burping since the hospital, but today was my first day at home with protein shakes and finally started passing gas - yay! lol Most of my discomfort is from soreness from the surgery and gas pressure. No issues getting my protein shakes in and keeping them down. All of my docs were super happy with my recovery, and my surgeon said the procedure went perfectly. Here's to the start of my new life!

Where's my Vegas sleevers???, I know alot of us are out here. We are in the perfect city to get together​. (minus the 100's of buffet's we have lol) on a serious note I would love to meet people who are on this journey as well!!! [emoji813]2017 could it be, a new me? yaaaass please![emoji813]

I have to admit, this is pretty cool

I was August 16. I am losing very slowly, although the past couple of days have not been the best for me nutrition wise. HW: 419 SW: 361 CW: 331 GW: 219 Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I diffuse different things depending on what’s going on. At bedtime is lavander. When the kids are stuffy I do RC and peppermint. Lemon in my water every day helps me 💩. When hubby tresses I use stress away and lavander massages. Thieves from time to time but I mostly use it for cleaning. I love my oils lol

I was a week in from starting soft foods stage and I went away for the weekend. This ment resturants and breakfast buffets at the hotel. I did great, had a thai appetizer and bbq shredded meat for dinners and got a lunch and multiple snacks out of both. Only needed a spoonful of scrambled eggs for breakfast. I guess I was very surprised how easy it was. Also found I had more energy for walking doing things. It seems it gets easier and easier each week. 5'10 Sleeved 9/25/17 HW: 309 SW: 278 CW: 246 GW: 190
