Hello I wanted to know how long it took some of you to get out of the 3s? Specifically asking those who did not have to do a pre op diet and weighed 340+? Because I'm almost 1 month post op and I still need to lose 22 more pounds before I get to 299. I started at 342 lbs. I know everyone is different but please answer because I could use a little motivation right now.

I agree talk to your Dr. I was going through something similar to that last week. I could be up walking and it would hit me all of a sudden. Not the sweating thing but the dizzy spell. My doc says I'm not drinking enough fluids. I was getting my 64 oz in but I guess still not enough so I shoot for 70 oz.

Now I'm 3 weeks post op as of today. I'm down 17 lbs and I know that's a big deal, but when family tells me you look a little smaller. I don't believe them and I think that their just being nice because they know about the surgery, and I don't see any changes. So when they say that I answer by saying, "whatever." I hope you understand and can relate to what I'm saying.

@@QuilterGal, thanks for the excellent tips on different ways to make my protein shakes because I swear the premier is making me sick.

Hello, I had the bypass 4/8, so I'm a little over 2 weeks post op and my starting weight was 342 lbs and now I'm down to 324 lbs. I'm not gonna lie its not easy but if you put in the work you will succeed. They weren't joking when they said the surgery is just a tool. My reason to have surgery was due to being diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. I didn't want that for myself. So when I got diagnosed with that last June that was my wake up call that I needed to make some changes. I hope you decide if this is best for you because I don't have any regrets.

Thanks James, I haven't dumped yet so I think you just saved me on that. Just trying to switch up the diet a little bit.

Congrats on your weight loss. This is so inspiring for me.

Can I have frozen yogurt? I really have a taste for it and I can have regular yogurt.

That is awesome. Gives me something to look forward to. I'm 2 weeks post op and starting weight a little higher than yours but I hope to be in the twos soon.

Someone please help! I've tried to do the protein shakes but they are gross. I can't stand milk. I've never liked any kind of milk, so of course it makes the protein shakes even worse. I bought a whole case of premier protein shakes and I try to force myself to drink it but because I hate it so much the very thought of it makes me nauseous. Is there any advice you can give this 2 weeks post op chick?

I'm about 2 weeks out and I understand the temptations. What I do is drink more water, grab a protein shake or do some more walking and that seems to help. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have thoughts of cheating but I remember that's what got me here and the point of surgery was to help me correct that. Please stick to your diet, if not for your health, but from a healing stand point. I guarantee you couldn't explain this to your surgeon without getting the same reaction as your bff, probably worse.

When I bought it last month it was on sale for $19.99 for a 12 pack. So I bought 2, because the original price was $29.99.

Praying for a quick recovery. Keep us posted.

Wow awesome. I'm also 10 days post op as of today. But I'm only down 12lbs. I do need to increase the walking.

Thanks I sent the request

I do need help. I can't seem to add

Everything went extremely well. I've lost 12 lbs so far and I couldn't be happier. What a great start! Anyone else had their 1st post op appt this week?

Does it apply to those who've had the bypass as well or just sleevers?

Prayers coming your way. You will be okay. I'm one week post op and I was scared to, but turns out I was scared for nothing. Whatever you decide you have all of our support.

@@kwcrnp, Eating is a little challenge for me. I'm sticking to my diet but it doesn't stop my brain from wanting the foods that got me here in the first place. Barely hungry in my stomach but in my mind I'm starving. I called my nutritionist to vent and she was very understanding by explaining that once my weight start coming off this will all be worth it and to continue to stay focus.

@@SimplySharon, I'm doing fine. Officially 1 week post op and pain is non existent. I lost 7 lbs as of yesterday. So a pound a day is cool. Thanks for asking.

I'm also one week post op as of today and am taking Celebrate calcium plus and Celebrate b-12 quick dissolve vitamins along with Flintstone complete vitamins. But I agree with Blashlee, your doctor will advise you of all that.

Glad to hear. I had my surgery last week and still healing myself.

Welcome and good luck to everyone. You will feel so much better after you have your surgery. I'm only a week out and already feel better.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation and hopefully it will get better. Will be praying for you.
