So I am almost 6 months out. The weight is still comming off but definitely more slowly. Im worried maybe I have come to a standstill so soon? Down 74 lbs. Ht:5 1 HW 247 CW173

Thank you everyone for the support!!! You guys are awesome!!!

how do you post pictures

A little over 5 months out and down 71 pounds!

Hey everyone, so ive hit a stall at 4 months post op. I'm 60 lbs down and have been fluctuating between 2 lbs. Tips and tricks to push this along? and will I ever loose more!?

I'm ten weeks out and have only lost 17 pounds so I'm thinking your doing well. The faster you lose weight the more loose skin you'll have.

ditto on the above...just think...when was the last time you lost that amount of weight in that amount of time...if you are like me...the answer is NEVER!

Just follow your program and you will continue to do great!

yes! you are totally right! thank you for that motivation! needed it today lol

Congratulations! You look amazing. Still pre-op so I love hearing and "seeing" other's success stories. Thanks for sharing and best wishes to you.

@@Elode thank you so much ! ☺️

Hey everyone! I'm 17 weeks post op and down 60 lbs. I was just wondering if this weight loss was a little slow considering that I have a friend who has lost about 100lbs in the same time frame. Regardless I am so so so happy with my sleeve and the decision I made to change my life. Please if anyone has tips or tricks let me know! Thank you ????

hi everyone! i am 1 week post op and down 12 lbs! each day i felt was getting better and better, until today. i dont even want to eat and i keep getting this terrible pain in the middle of my stomach. is this normal? any advice? - i am also super tired all day long.

hi everyone! i am 1 week post op and down 12 lbs! each day i felt was getting better and better, until today. i dont even want to eat and i keep getting this terrible pain in the middle of my stomach. is this normal? any advice? - i am also super tired all day long.

Had my sleeve done on Weds! i didnt do well with morphine or anestesia- aside from that, i am home now on my clear liquid diet until sunday. Not for nothing, it is not an easy recovery as people think- its tough and im sore. But it should all be worth it in the end! any encouragement?

thank you! so exciting!

hi everyone! i am soooo nervous and excited!! i go in for surgery tomorrow at 9:30 am im so ready for the life change and positive journey ahead !

So as I get closer to my surgery date, more and more questions and "what ifs" are popping into my head. Feeling anxious and excited- What if I get too flabby, what if I can't do it, what if I never love myself even after the surgery. But then again, its one step at a time & as long as im healthy, Im grateful. Taking it as it comes & hoping for the best. PS- exactly how much Protein should be taken in daily after surgery?

congratulations!!! you're doing great!!! so inspiring. im getting sleeved on the 30th and im getting to the nervous stage. in a little bit of disbelief that it is all really happening! great job so far, your words are really comfortingg

Follow up with your dr. Walk. Keep up with the fluids and Protein. Don't try to do too much too fast. Remember this is "our" time. You will never be in the same place again so enjoy each step of the process.

thank you for your advice & kind words! yes , i agree each step should be cherished

Your welcome yes that is the only pain I had haven't had any pain from my incisions which it's good. So yes walk!! And Thank you very much!!!

thank you ! keep in touch!

Carissa one thing I can say walk right after your surgery. Walk walk so you won't have lots of pain from the gas they put to blow up our tummies.. Good luck during your surgery. I had mine on July 16th and down 15 pounds already.

thank you! i've heard that the gas pain is worse than the incision sites themselves! thank you for the advice, its extremely helpful! and a big congratulations to you on your success so far!

<p>I don't have words of wisdom because I'm just starting the process, but you are in the right place! Lots of good folks with good ideas to share on the forums. Good luck!</p>

thank you! good luck to you on your journey as well! one day at a time!

And so after a long 6-7 months of pre testing and doctors visits, I will be getting gastric sleeve on Wednesday, July 30th! I am both super excited & really nervous at the same time. It's a new beginning for me & I can't wait to see what the future holds. So glad I came across these forums so I can share my story and recieve encouraging advice from others. Any words of wisdom?
