I am eating baby food but only the fruit on my list: applesauce, bananas, pears, mangos. Most times I put it in with my shakes and it tastes pretty good! It's not the end of the world

I know how much myself and everyone else love comarison pictures. I hit 50 pound loss a couple days ago (HW 230 CW 180) so I thought I would take update pics. Also have bare belly and arm pics for those that are curious about loose skin along our journeys. So far with just 50 my skin is good, arms are flabby but still alot of fat hangin in there and I've always had very large arms, also skin on abd is good so far, I can tell a little more give in skin on upper abd but I'm hoping over more time that it will keep tightening and I can avoid the plastics in the future. 30 pounds til goal now
Hope these help those that are very newbies and those considering surgery

Hang in there!! I had regrets when I sat in the pre op room and then several times after. I also hit a stall pretty early on. Make sure you are getting your calories, Protein, and Water and it will get moving again. You will miss things. I am still trying to figure out food so I am eating what I know I can and have had success with but getting bored now. I have wanted something yummy too. Our old preferences don't go away overnight. We are new to this and have so much to learn about our new body and how to use/work it best. Know you are not alone. It does get better. I am only a few days ahead of you and just got out of my stall.

Weighed in at 197!!!!! can't tell you how excited i am. haven't been out of the 200's in 8 or 9 years! i guess that's the positive to not being able to tolerate any food at 13 DPO!?!?

You've lost .57 lbs a day average which is great! Stalls happen (for me a lot) and they suck but your skin & stuff is adjusting during that and as long as you are drinking Water and eating mostly Protein you will lose. I started at 310 the first week of May, 285 on surgery day 5/25, and this morning was 188.6. 8 full months, 121.4 down.

I want to say thank you to everyone on here! The only place to accept me, no questions asked!!! And to understand the issues I faced & still do face! It's really appreciated! Xxx

I couldn't be happier with my decision to have a sleeve. Dr Kelly was great and I was a 2xl size 20 gulp going in. Just before Christmas I was shopping and Went into express. I grabbed size large ( I was happy to not be an Xl ) and went in dressing room. They were too big. Had to send husband to get size medium!
My hair has to be cut but is falling out less now. And sometime is hard at parties because I love a good martini and there is not room for both martini and food. But It's a small price to pay.
Anyone thinking about the surgery or on the fence it's great. No regrets

I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and I am down 36lbs! I am down from a 22 to some 16s. I have a ways to go but I am already so happy with my decision. Can wait to see where this journey takes me! Ill have to post some pics soon.
