surgery was on sept 24th. i'm new to vertical talk so still looking and reading a bunch of posts. i'm doing well so far. i think i have the lactose intolerance i've read about. which is a shame sine i love milk.

I was sleeved on Sept 27. I have only lost 20 pounds. I did lose 25 on my pre op diet.

Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!!

No never heard of it.. But if it's one of those educational food documentaries I AM SO IN TO viewing it!! I enjoy learning about those things that we're putting into our bodies!! I just watched one called Knives and Forks and it really opened my eyes to what cholesterol (plaque, of the veins/arteries) is. It also, had some points on how US obesity, heart diseases and heart surgeries have skyrocketed over the years due to the poor food choices!! So sad!!

Thank You....i keep looking at my email and feel like the words Not approved are there and i just can't see them lol in other words my brain just doesn't want to accept that this is REAL and will happen in a week and 2 days ....even my daughter read the email to me this morning and said MOOOOM its Reeeeal get it through ur head and get it together you just have one more week and it'll be over and then recovery time and a year from now you will be a healthier, skinny, new you and sooo many people are gonna look at you in awe because of how much more beautiful you will be...... lol gotta ♥ my daughter =)

I've heard SO many people say they hit a stall around this time. Don't worry! You're not alone! Seriously, if you follow the rules and can only eat a few ounces at a time, how could you NOT lose weight? This is just your body adjusting to the changes. Be gentle with yourself and stay positive! Yay!

Sorry don't think anyone miss being fat

Soon! You went through a major surgery on your stomach. They put a pipe down your throat to help you to breath..It takes time for your body to recover from this..Give it the time it needs...In a couple of weeks everything will be different....It does get easier and easier....I promise!
Your doing great pushing through...Just keep swimming K

Wtg!! I'm 12 wks and have lost 18 lbs. Whoopty doo. I now feel embarrassed...

Wow I'm siked I have lost a total of 71 pounds including pre op weight loss of 32 pounds for my 2 month mark. I pray that I keep loosing and reach my goal of 200 lbs in the next 4 months. I haven't been able to get in the gym but my diet must be right I'm loosing about 3 pounds a week so far.... Praising the lord and my surgeon. I love my sleeve..... The 29th of this month will make exactly the 2 month mark . I had my surgery on July 29th of 2013 . Just wanted to post some postieve news about my loss. My starting weight was 316 so I have come a long way.... God is good at all times

I can't keep it to myself anymore. This surgery works if you do what they tell you to do. I'm living proof. I hate doing what doctors tell me to do. But even I can follow the directions they give me. So I did. And lo and behold, it worked!!! I'm lighter than I've been in years and my belt buckle is tighter than it's been in years!!!!
You know what? I'm WINNING!!! It is WORKING!!! And that makes me very, very happy.

Ain't it great? Congrats!

This is, quite literally, everything I hoped it could be and then some

Oh my goodness... I tell anyone who asks!!! I feel like this surgery saved my life and if me telling my story could save anyone else I don't care who knows. The only reason I am off all 3 bp meds and I don't sleep with the cpap is because a co worked talked about her surgery. I will forever be thankful that she wasn't shy, embarrassed or a private person!!! If she was, I would be hooked up to my auto bp machine asking my husband if we need to take me to the er because of my high BP....

I work in an office environment with 20 people. I keep things professional friendly and short. I have no intentions of advertising my choice in WLS. I don't want to lie and just say diet and exercise but I don't want then in my business either. These days you drop weight fast people think you either sick or you are a crack/coke diet. Has anyone had any challenges discussing or not discussing with co-workers when your weight started coming off fast and it's noticeable?
