That's great!! I'm 8 weeks and haven't lost 32 pounds yet. Please try not to compare, I know it's hard. I started at 205 the day of surgery and I'm ok with losing slow.

My BMI was 36 and I was self pay in MI for $11,200 with a skilled surgeon. Also down have to go through the long process of insurance approvals so could schedule surgery quickly.

It's so hard not to compare ourselves to others, but this is our own individual journey.
I'm 7 weeks out today and down 26 pounds. The day of surgery I was 205. I tell myself this is way more than I could have lost on my own. It will come off, just keep following the plan!!

I'm just over two weeks out too. I think I'm going to be a slow loser and sometimes that fear creeps in my mind too. Hang in there. Our bodies are going through so much. Are you drinking enough fluids?

Thanks everyone. I start the puréed stage in a week and am also a visual person. I'll try a few blended things but am thinking ill be eating a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans and mashed cauliflower.

Glad to hear so many of you are doing great. I'm on the countdown, scheduled for 2/21. Getting nervous, excited, scared, and kinda have this disbelief feeling that I'm really doing this.
