Omg! So, I bought a pair of Jean capris from old navy todsy. Size 18! I didn't even think a 20 would fit, but they were too big. Wooo! I haven't been able to walk in and buy jeans from old navy in probably 6+ years. I went from a 28/30 to an 18 so far!

Both of you ladies look amazing! we're all gonna be super hot beotches in no time♡

Haven't been on in a while. Down 48 lbs since highest weight. Very happy. Had my 8 week appointment with the surgeon last Friday. He is pleased with my loss and I was very happy with that.
My battle has been heartburn. Have to make sure I take meds everyday for it. Working out 4-5 times a week. Hope everyone is well!

Hey everyone. I have par taken in a drink here and there. I used to drink whiskey and diet soda and had a pretty high tolerance to it. Not so much these days. While no soda for me. My dr is against it and not thrilled with the alcohol either so I met him halfway and had whiskey and Water. My tolerance is nothing so half a drink is all I can do.
I joined a gym today very excited about it. I have been pestering my dr to allow more than walking and light cardio and finally got it. First training session with trainer Tuesday.
So glad for this sight and all the suggestions and support there is from others going through this. Much success to all!

So, I took a few pictures as today is officially 8 weeks out

Down 1.6 lbs this morning for a total of 29.3 lbs since surg date & 38.2 since highest weight. Feel inspired today. Hoping I can keep the momentum going.

I haven had one since Dec. 2011 when I started Depo! I love it! I had spotting for the first time 1 week post op that lasted 2 weeks. My surgeon said it was because of fluctuating hormones. Looks like I'll be getting off Depo next March (or when I get to my goal weight! Gonna start trying to get pregnant!

Got my March measurements done (finally before the end of the month) I've lost 32.88 inches. It amazes me!

I'm happy to report that the scale finally moved 1.2 lbs in the last two days in the right direction. So that puts me at a loss of 26.7 lbs since surgery day. YEAH!
Also excited about a bm but I spend a lot of time in the restroom.

I just got home from seeing my surgeon! She was ecstatic about my 20 lb weight loss in 4 weeks! I was afraid she would be disappointed! I let her know about the stall that most of us have had. She said she had no idea that that happened and was happy to hear about all the great support that I am getting from this site! I can now move on to soft/mushy foods and lighter, modified Insanity workouts! I am so happy that I got to this point! I took care of a fresh post op gastric sleeve patient last night, and she was miserable with nausea. I did everything I could for her. It just
makes me so appreciative of how smoothly my surgery and recovery went! I'm hoping that everyone is doing well today! Thanks to everyone for all the insight and support!

Thank you all for sharing. I thought I was going through this struggle by myself. I thought I was crazy. Thanks again for sharing.

My almost 2 week stall has broken! Yesterday I stepped on the scale and had lost almost 5 lbs! Finally! Now to get my weight loss going again for my May 31st wedding on the beach in San Diego!

I had an exciting morning. I am wearing shorts I haven't been able to wear for a year and a t-shirt I haven't worn since 4th of July 2012! Ahh. And I feel SOOO cute. Haha. Just had to share.

Thank you Onedaycloser! I'm glad to be here!

I am now 1 week post-op! I have lost 10 lbs since surgery 2/25! I am still on clear liquids and still getting to know my pouch. My first follow up with the surgeon is on Monday. I've not had too much pain and I get around and do most things by myself, except for lifting. I simply can not wait to move on to puréed diet! Also, I know my calorie intake is very low, but I can not wait to start back doing my Insanity workouts! I feel like I'm being lazy sitting on the couch! Too much ice and snow outside to do any walking. No regrets here!

Ok everyone I'm super excited today. I'm down 6 lbs and I had surgery last Wednesday. I still struggle with wanting to eat food but fighting those urges is paying off! 6 lbs in 4 days is impressive. YEAH!!!!!

Amen to that! sleeping on my back right now is a terrible thing but on the side with my body pillow is letting me get some good sleep, that and my lazyboy chair. I just finished my 1st walk around the culdesac and feel good but tired! I can't wait until it stops hurting to swallow, at two days post surgery I know I just have to be patient.

Good morning. Slept off & on. Really tired. I've walked approximately 5 times. Pain level is doable. Yeah!

15 days post opp. Exercising two days a week for an hour a day. Walking 1 1/4 mile three days a week. Have moved to soft food and only two shakes a day. I feel terrific. Weight is 257 down from 295 pre opp. Starting to wear clothes I haven't had on in years. Hope the next 15 days go as well as these have.

Ok! First morning post-op! I feel great! No gas pain, gas in bowels or gas from surgery! I have tolerable pain in my abdomen with 5 lap sites. I've had no nausea, but I have Zofran ordered routinely so that has helped. I have walked the halls at least every 4 hours with no trouble. I hear that the pain is worse on days 2,3, & 4 post-op, but I am very optimistic! I wish everyone's recovery could go this well! I haven't passed gas yet, but I don't feel pressure or the need. I have a barium swallow scheduled with the surgeon this morning. Then I'll be allowed more Clear Liquids (not just ice). If I tolerate the liquids well, I'll be discharged this afternoon! No regrets here! Wishing luck to those going to surgery today!

I am out of surgery and finally awake enough (kinda) to post an update! Surgery took a couple hours. My surgeon said that my liver shrank very well and that surgery went great! And no hiatal hernia!!! I have 5 lap sites. I have some aching pain in my belly, but the IV pain meds are working pretty well. The worst part is my mouth and throat are EXTREMELY dry and a little sore. I am allowed ice chips, but I have found that I can get too much for my tummy to take! I'm nodding in and out from exhaustion. I didn't sleep well the past 2 nights. Thank all of you that sent prayers and good vibes!
