I'm so glad about your weight loss. Keep up the good work. It's always a pleasure to hear when someone gets off of medication. It's time we start treating our bodies right.

Hey everyone, I am loving the love here in this group for 200+. I started at 438 pre-op. I lost a few #s gained a few #s, but I'm happy to say that I lost 16 #s in the 1st week post-opt. I m not weighting myself daily, but I can't wait for my 2 wk follow up. I was 405.8 at last weight in. Hopefully I will be under the 300 # mark. If so it will be the 1st time I was in the 300s in 10 years. That's major for me. My goal weight is 200#s. Good luck to all my sleevers out. We can do it.

For me I will reward myself at certain milestones; under 400 and 25pd increments. My reward for hitting 250 will be a motorcycle. I have always wanted one but felt to big to ride it. At 250 I'm gone to ride and enjoy myself.

Hi there, I'm new to this forum too. I am 34 yrs old with a top weight of 438. My goal weight is 225-200 pds. I am 5'10 and think this will be a good weight. When I look back at the happiest times in my life, that was the weight range I was in. I am at 408.5 now and look forward to breaking into the 300s. The small victories will keep me motivated, and eventually I will hit my target. I dread having the loose skin, but I plan to weight train and exercise. I hear drinking plenty of Water will help. I pray I have good genes and most will strink. If not there is always surgery or Spanks...lol

Hi there, I am 8 days post-op. I had my 3rd follow up with my bariatric team on yesterday, 17 pds lost since surgery. I was on Clear liquids for ythe 1st week. Now I can have a protien shake along with the clear liquids. I must say, I miss chewing. TV food commercials look so good now. I don't think I paid that much attention to them in the past. My family is very supportive, but they will eat anything in front of me...no shame...lol. I did experience a lot of burping in the begining. I was told that i was not sipping, I was gulping and that causes the burping. I was instructed to let the liquids roll down my throat. I tried that, but find myself still needing to swallow. I take in small amounts of Fluid at a time and just prepare for the burp. I have a lil pain in my left side, but that could be from riding on the terrible roads in NJ. I am no longer taking any of the post-op medications. I have only had 2 BMs since surgery and that was with the assistance of M.O.M. This is strange for me because I gerneral go shortly after eating. I have not had a movement since Tues. I will bring this up with my team on tomorrow. Maybe I need another dose of m.o.m. I am very pleased so far. One of the best things that has happened so far is that I have been smokefree for over a week. I wish I didn't punk out of surgery before, but it's my time now.
