Hello everyone! I am at 201 - almost to onderland and loving the journey. Loosing at about 1.5 to 3# a week. I have slacked off on my water, so I need to tighten up on that. Otherwise going pretty well

Get out! I am so thrilled qnd jealous at the same time. ????

Hey! Vent away! That is what we are all here for... support ☺. Don't be hard on yourself. You are losing at your own pace. As long as you are following your plan and taking your vitamins, just press on. If you have questions reach out to your nut. I am losing at lot slower now too. I find the higher my protein the more I loose but of course that means higher calories too. I stay away from the scale so I don't drive myself nuts. That's what works for me, and you will find what works for you. Keep us posted.

Can't wait until this is me ???? everyone looks so Amazing!

Hello everyone! Congrats on your loss ???? Starting weight: 268 Current : 218 3 month loss: 50 # Still tracking protein and calories. Loving my sleeve ???? Really need to start walking.

Surgery 9/30 SW: 268 CW: 249 60 Oz water per day and 40g of protein. Trying to increase protein daily. Plan to start vitamins at 14 days post op. Feeling really amazing and so very thankful right now.

Well, tomorrow is my big day. I can't wait to join you all on the other side. I am so proud of myself on the liquid diet. I have lost 8 pounds and I am ready for the next step.

I am so excited for everyone and thei progress so far. I will be the caboose at September 30th.

Oh my, please don't use anything that has sweat in it! LOL.... I meant sweet... I need some coffee

Sounds like you are doing great! I need to order some of that Unjury Chicken Soup before my surgery. Most of the protein drinks and supplements are sweat, and I would think that it would be easy to get tired of sweat stuff all of the time. Good idea with the baby food!

Congratulations on your success and the new grandbaby! So adorable!

So glad to hear you are doing well! What a great loss for 13 weeks. WOW! It sounds like you are very happy with you decision and your new life. Wishing you all the best -

Hoping all went well! Keep us posted.

Reflections on month 3 of 6 pre op diet ~ “How much farther Papa Smurf?” Posted this late~ Another month closer to my surgery date and my focus has been to try to stop obsessing so much about the surgery. I don’t want to wish my life away waiting for it. The time between now and then is precious, so I am trying to be mindful of that. The distraction of Spring has really been great for me as I love working in the yard. A note to any that may be reading and are planning to get clearance from a Pulmonologist – start early if you think you may have sleep apnea. From start to finish will be around 8 weeks for me which includes time waiting to get first appointment, sleep study, titration (after getting apnea diagnosis), receiving CPAP and final appointment with pulmonologist to get my clearance letter (after at least 2 weeks using CPAP). I was not looking forward to the Nutrition counseling, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a group setting which I was not expecting, but enjoyed as well. We learned what makes a protein supplement important, label reading, and discussed in great detail each phase of our diets both pre and post op. Visit #4 of 6 with PCP went ok. I gained a pound which I am not really upset about because that could just be clothes or shoes but I am resolved to show a weight loss next month. My goals for next month- Lose 3 pounds Cardiac clearance Psych clearance If you are just starting your journey and think you will wait until later on to check off all of those to-do’s from your surgeons check list, think again. I am really glad I planned a couple of these per month because otherwise I would be missing a lot of work that last month before surgery (if I could even get appointments without pushing my surgery date out further). I am also glad that I have been documenting my journey because when things appear to be moving slowly I can look back and see that I have made progress. Enjoy your journey!

Happy Birthday! Your post made me smile. I hope you have a great day!
