Starting week 7 post op. I can start with normal foods. Yay! But I still have trouble getting more than 3oz in. Boo! I weigh myself on Sundays and the weight loss is frustraaaatingly slow. There was one week where I lost 2 lbs. But all the others I lose less than a lb per week. Is this normal? How can this be when I'm basically starving (on average 500 cals a day)? I'm worried that if I ever get to the 1000-1200 cals per day I'll stop losing weight or start gaining again! And I still have like 50lbs to go to reach my goal. I'm afraid I'll never get there.

Update! I called my medical group to check in and they said I’ve been approved!!! Glad I didn’t wait to hear from the Surgeon’s office 🙄

Thank you for that post. So happy you were able to avoid shoulder surgery and comforted by the fact that your surgeons also said 6 weeks to recover was enough to have another surgery. So sorry about the broken foot and glad to hear its healed. Keep me posted if any thing changes on your shoulder and wishing you good luck as well.

Congratulations! Hopefully this time it sticks and we see you on the losers bench soon!

May this time be the winning time in your life, just about 6 weeks to finish readying yourself for this life change. You probably feel excited but a little anxious, hang with us, we'll try to help you beat the collywobbles in the pit of your stomach!😝

Hi everyone, I am getting my upper GI done this Monday, did anyone else have to have an upper GI before the Sleeve surgery? I am super excited to get the Sleeve done, it seems like it is taking forever. I just want it done already! Anyway, I am happy to have found this site. I am looking forward to the support! ~Vikki

Oh it will, but we all want what we. want and we want t9 see results Right Now. Its just Bariatric Human Nature to feel like that.

I'm only telling my husband. When others ask if I've lost weight I'm just going to shrug it off and say, "I dunno, I don't weigh" and then they hopefully won't ask how much or pursue it any further. I am happy and confident with my decision to have had the WLS but it's not anybody else's business and I don't want them sizing me up every time they see me.
