Starting weight: 257lbs Size: 24 and 3X Current Weight: 192lbs Size: 16 and 1X First of all, I am happier than ever, that is the most important takeaway. Other than my husband, no one knows I had surgery. I am so glad that I didn't tell people. I feel amazing! I have energy and confidence again. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Weight loss combined with proper medication has really helped. For the first time in my life, it is starting to get fun to shop for clothes and clothes are comfortable. Nothing hangs out or over anymore. For anyone considering surgery or who has just had surgery and wondering if it was worth it, I promise you, it is the best decision you will ever make. The first few months are challenging but you are forced to completely change a lifetime of habits overnight. You will learn and every day gets easier, especially once you start to see the weight come off. For all of those on this journey, I wish you all the best and I hope this helps if you are struggling.

Great work!! Well done @BlueGirl1920 xx

I cheated with egg drop soup.. the broth and eggs and a little cottage cheese... my mom had gastric bypass 10 years ago and she had the egg drop soup...

Ok also I’m having rny it’s my first wls procedure

I’m August 28 so a bit before you but a few in my program are having revisions that day I’ll report back for you

So I was late to the party here but hey we met with our surgeons on the same day how’d it go I got my date I was at my final step honestly tell me are you doing ok message me

My glue seemed to want to stick around forever! I think I still had incision glue clinging tight 6 weeks post. I picked the edges off and waited for the remaining glue to rub off "naturally".

Oh I cheated with some chicken, tuna and cucumber in the beginning, and I felt so guilty that I buckled down and punished myself. My program was shakes and allowed additives like fruit, oatmeal, peanut butter, skim milk, ect. I literally mixed the powder with plain water for the last week of my pre op diet. No doubt I was in ketosis and I ended up loosing 27lbs in that 2 weeks, 20lbs of which was the last week.

I have lost 57lbs and gone from a size 24 to a 16. My quality of life has improved exponentially. I am doing things I love again like playing softball. I hurt less and I can do so much more now. Today, I cleaned out my closet and promised myself to never go back and to keep moving forward. I am so glad I had the surgery. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
