Hey everyone I was sleeved in June 2 and started at 500 pounds. I am currently at 393 and I'm so happy everyone notices my clothes are wear me now lol . I bike to work now when it doesn't rain lol but I still have a ways to go I'm looking for about another 120 pounds in 6"8 I just wanted to share it hasn't been easy but I'm so happy I did it I want to share this so everyone knows that it can be done. It's definitely not a decision to take lightly but if you commit to it it's we'll worth it

Had my surgery 2 months ago I'm on soft foods right now. I have my good days and bad days with food my problem is sometimes I just can't eat I know I need to I just can't and protein drinks still make me sick just thinking about them after 6 weeks of drinking them for every meal. Morning are usually rough I've been waking up nauseous in the morning and sometimes I dry heave not sure why I'm down 70 pounds so I'm excited but any help would be appreciated

I'm just over a month out of surgery feeling great really happy with everything except my stomach right around my belly button is dry and my feet are getting dry and cracking. Wanted to see if anyone had a solution for this or an idea on what to do

Im just over a week post op and the routine laid out by my docter every 15 mins 1 oz of Water and every 30 mins 1 oz of Protein. im fine drinking water but Protein Drink is killing me not because my stomach cant take it. im just so sick of it the smell of it makes me gag i just want to avoid it because the thought of drinking it right now makes me sick to my stomach with my two weeks pre op liquid diet im about 4 weeks deep on just drinking protein any help would be awesome not sure what to do i have tried 3 different brands and different flavors they taste fine im just sick of the liquid and the smell and its hard for me to overcome that

Hi I am having my surgery on June the 2nd i am excited and scared. My mom passed away a year ago may 25 from gastric bypass. and it scares me but i know that if i don't have the surgery then i will die young and be unhappy my hole life. im 6'8 and weigh 474 pounds. i have a younger brother who is 6'1 and maybe 180 soaking wet lol. i just want to feel normal every where i go everyone always stares and says damn how big are you. i just try and laugh it off but it hurts im excited for an opportunity to change my life for the better. I know its what my mom wanted me to do so im doing this for her also she was the most important person in my life and even though she is not here, she will still be looking down on me and pushing me to meet my weight loss goals
