Wow in just over 2 months that's amazing. What was your start weight, if you don't mind my asking

I know how you feel I am nearly 7weeks out and been nauseous for a week if I eat or not, even having trouble with water. I take anti reflux pills but is not helping. Couldn't get an app with the surgeon till next week, so went to my GP today he gave me anti nausea meds. I have not lost any weight this week either. Not hungry at all and don't care. (Well I do care). Hopefully the surgeon has some answers cause not loving myself right now.

Ok started the plank challenge before work today. Following the Calendar for twice a day and adding and exercise I found for the back of the arms. Sitting in a chair hold a 5kg weight with both hands above your head, bend at elbows and take the weight behind your head and then lift it back up to straight again starting 2 x 5 reps and then add one more each day (doh! Hold the weight in the middle or you hit yourself in the back of the head. Lol). Was laughed at for 20 mins cause I did that

Sorry that is a WOW

Wow look at all that extra room

Wpw look at all that extra room

Well done, you look great. Have to say if you put on a suit you could be mistaken for Joseph Gordon-Levitt

You look fantastic, and15 years younger!

You look great massive effort in less than 5 months. Good on you

Oh wow you look fabulous. Good on you.

How many times a day do you do this and any tips for something to work the muscle under the arm (you know the flabby bit when you wave)

Have to say it again, I can believe how much younger you look, you have done an amazing job. Congratulations!

Congratulations on all your hard work to arrive at your success today. You look great and must feel awesome

Just wanted say a big thank you to you all. I have been following Kelli, Susan and Misty since long before surgery and long before I actually had the nerve to post on these forums (I promise I was not stalking lol just looking for help). I have great support with my brother, son and a good friend, but sometimes I can sense their eye roll and brain say 'oh god she is not going to talk about it AGAIN!' It has been great reading the posts and not feel I was alone in this. I really do appreciate your shares and your encouragement along the way.

My thoughts will be with you Tuesday Ditdee, breath deep and think happy thoughts. Monday is six weeks out for me and nope still not really hungry. Has taken a little while to figure out if the feeling I have is for food or a drink. I used to be starving at 11.30 and could not wait for lunch sometimes eating it at my desk before lunch and then buying something else at 1 o'clock. Now people at work are reminding me to go have a lunch break. I went through head hunger around week 4 and tried a small bite of things I thought I wanted my belly quickly told my head that was not a good thing and spent a night feeling very unwell and uncomfortable that was the first and last time my head tried to rule my stomach. Look forward to you sharing your success one these pages

It's a shame you couldn't have it altered it is a beautiful dress

That's awesome Misty, looking forward to doing that and to buy pretty ones my current bras look more like a hammock for a small pigmy when hanging on the clothes line

I think that is fairly realistic

Have you tried fish or chicken?

Congrats on renewing your vows and have fun shopping for those sexy new clothes

Hey Susan. Small let down the girl that gave me the pants informed me nicely that the pants she gave me were maternity pants. Real size at the shops 18. But I'm not discouraged

Ok finally got photos working. Starting weight 121 kgs this down 18kgs. Pants were 22 now 18. I feel it just don't see it myself yet. 5 week Monday gone

Hope this photo has worked

I hear you on the waiting... I was sleeved on oct 28th highest weight BS 121kgs or 266 pounds this is week 5 and I am now 103kgs 227 pounds as of Monday (5weeks marker) the last 2 weeks have been only a kilo a week. Was having trouble seeing the loss although my pants fell down and I had to get more, then I was shopping with a friend and she gave me 3 x 5 kgs of potatoes and said you have lost nearly 4 of these hard to carry isn't it then I measured myself, my hips have gone from 56in to 52in. Waist 47 to 44 poor boobies 52 to 47. Now realising I have achieved something (or my sleeve has). Drinking as important as it is hard to do when you stop for 30 mins either side or a 30 min food session. I get up at 5 am to get in 250 mls of warm Water up front while walking round the house (gets the lower half moving before I leave) then drink another 250 mls then drink a HP shake on the way to work. 250 mls between starting work and 30 mins before lunch. 1 soft boiled egg for lunch takes my whole 30 min lunch break. 30 mins after lunch I try and drink a 500 ml bottle of water before going home. Get home and 250 mls while I have a little time out. Cook dinner for all and some thing for me 1/4 cup smashed fish and a little veggies, clean up sort everyone out while drinking another 250 mls. Some of these I put low cal cordial just for flavour. Depending on how late I stay up I might have a cup of tea (herbal black so kind of counts as water). It seemed to start with like a chore but it is becoming habit a bit now. If I don't have the tea I might suck on a hydro lite ice block (does taste vile though) Last weekend I slept in only got in half the water and had a ragging headache. Also Last week I had a day where I kept feeling hungry for old tastes so I indulged a small bite of things I once liked and found I don't actually like them anymore and it was my head telling me I was hungry and spent the night feeling very off colour, close to the bathroom and that shut my head right up. I'm really not hungry and I find that hard to believe. I hope you are all doing well, we joined this race for a better life, not to win.

Well done you must feel like a new man
