Happy One Year everyone. Can't believe it's already been so long !!! Happy to say I am under my goal of 160 lbs I now sit at 138 lbs !!! CRAZY never thought I could be this small!

Starting weight 230lbs current weight is 138 lbs. Surgery was Sept 8 2014 I thinks that's 92 lbs lost

Before and after 1 year later

I had mt surgery at Mi Doctor hospital with Dr Valenzuela. I had a excellent experience. No complications and the hospital is small but very nice and clean. Non of the other ladies I went with had any complacations either, we keep in contact through Facebook I had mt surgery at Mi Doctor hospital with Dr Valenzuela. I had a excellent experience.

Wow I didnt realize it has been so long since I posted lol I reached my goal!! I am now sitting at #157 (goal was #160) I have set a new goal of #140 but I have been stuck at #158 for about 2 months now so we will see how I goes Good job everyone! !

Down to 170lb ive lost 50 lb since surgery. So amazing!

Im finally in the 180's lol, 189 to be exact but ill take it! Its been over 6 years since ive been under 200. Sooo glad I had this done!

O also has anyone alse gone up on the scale? Cause my scale will sometimes go up .5# one day and then drop 1# the next.

I am 30 days out and have lost 19# post op and 5 pre op. I stalled at 202# in week 2 post op for 6 days, but have been lousing around 3-4# a week again. I am very glad for this thread I was worried that I was the only one lousing slowly

I am 30 days out today and I have lost 24# total and 19# since surgery. . I also see my scale go up and down all the time. And I had a week long stall at 3 weeks out. I was sitting at 202 lol all I wanted was to see the scale at 199 but stalls will pass thank god. And I am once again averaging a 4# weight loss per week. I kind of wish it was faster but then I realize that even if I only lost 10 lb a month I would still reach my goal in 5 months and lousing slower will give my skin time to adjust

Happy 1 month everyone! I am wondering if you would all share you losses so far ? I am down 24lb, 19 since surgery sitting at 196lb I had a week long stall last week, but am now lousing again. How about you?

Yes our diets are about the same and I just realized I am only 4 days out not 5 lol And I am suppose to have only liquids for 5 days but I guess I started a day early oops but I feel better for having some protein so I wont kick my self for it. Good luck on your per-op im sorry to say, but is sucks not genna lie. But its all worth it in the end!!! Good luck on your journey!

Sorry for the late reply, but I am finally home , happy, healthy and with no regrets I am 5 days out and down 5 lb from day of surgery! I still can feel a small amount of gas in my stomach and intestine when ever I drink something but no major pain at all, im alittle sore when I move but that gets better everyday ( the main sore spot is whare my drain was, in the top left corner) The incision whare my stomach was removed does not hurt at all, cant even feel it so thats a plus .. I am drinking constantly probably reaching around 40-50 oz per day of Clear Liquids so far, I have started to drink small amount of protien drinks today and have started feeling realy good. I still have not felt hunger.. but I start to get light headed and a little dizzy when I need to put some broth in my stomach lol so I guess my body is still going to find a way to make me eat. On average I can eat about 6-8 small spoon fulls of clear broth before I need to stop for awhile. And I will usually be good for and hour or 2 before wanting some more. On a side note I have not taken any pain meds since I left the hospital dont seem to need them yet Well thats all I can think of, let me know if you have any questions ! Megan

Ralaxing in the hotel sipping beef broth, excited to be going home tomorrow Thats about it for me, ive been doing lots of sleeping sipping and walking

The anesthesia isnt bad. They put a liquid in your Iv and.... hello 4 hrs later in previous surgerys I could smell and tast the anesthesia. But not this time The whole experience so far has been great not much gas pain, walkings petty easy, ive just started drinking apple juice and its going good as long as I take small sips lol to big of one and it feels like my chest will explode have to say though that leak test was horable its tastes awful, and you have to take a couple big swallows... I stated to dry heave. Not a fun experience

Hello surgery is done feeling great no pain just a little sore

Sorry for the late reply, surgery went great, not much pain or gas. Just pressure in my rib cage from the drain, othwr than that I havebeen up walking everytime I can, just had a shower and new bandages put on, and then a 10am leak test so far so good feeling great!!!
