I am 12 weeks out and I have lost 37 lbs. You are doing awesome! Keep up the good work

Summer

...I am 5 months out and hit my goal weight yesterday...!

Congratulations on reaching your goal!

Summer

Thanks for responding. .. how long were you in the hospital? I have flashbacks of the massive pain I was in following my total hysterectomy is my problem :/

I had a total hysterectomy 6 weeks after my sleeve surgery and let me tell you the sleeve surgery was nothing compared to that. I experienced very little pain with the sleeve and recovery was a breeze! Good luck to you

Summer

I chose the gastric sleeve because I did not want the dumping that can come with RNY. I also wanted to eventually be able to eat all of my favorite foods, just in much smaller portions. I did not go with the band due to having to get fills and unfills and the "stuck episodes".

I am very happy with my decision

Summer

Maybe it is time to search out a new PCP if your current one is unable/unwilling to help you if you have surgery???

I had gastric sleeve done and I have been off my diabetes meds since the day of surgery.

Good luck!

Summer

I was told not to let my BMI get lower than 35 (I had comorbidities) or the insurance could deny me.

Good luck!

What plans do you have to Celebrate 199? Congratulations!

Idon't know how I will Celebrate when I reach 199, I can't quite believe it will happen lol. I might finally go buy some new clothes

Congratulations!!

Congratulations! That is awesome!

Day 6 of pre op diet and lost 10 lbs... 8 more days to go... Im hoping for a 20lb weight loss!! Seeing the number on the scale go down is very encouraging!!! January 13th.. Cant wait!!!!

Awesome job

I weigh almost every day. I am two months out. I only record my weight once a week though. Weighing is so exciting now -- the scale is almost always going down

Summer

RJ good luck at your appointment. I hope it goes exceptionally well. You deserve all the best after everything you have been through!

Summer

You will start losing again. Just keep doing what you are doing. I had a 5 day stall during week 2 and then went right back to losing. Your body is still healing.

I had surgery 11/4/14 and I stalled the second week also. It lasted about 5 days. Our bodies are adjusting and healing. Hang in there it will get better

Summer

Wow! Congratulations you must be feeling pretty awesome

Summer

I had a 5 day stall my second week post op. Just trust the process and follow your plan. It will pass. If you measure I bet you see that you have lost some inches even if you haven't slot anything on the scale.

I am glad your decision to be open about your surgery has mostly worked for you. Congratulations and I hope you have continued success on your journey!

Summer

Hey Summer! I'm so glad to hear from you. I'm glad the surgery is over and that you're on your way to recovering. I'm sure you'll be feeling much better very soon. =)

Thank you!

Had hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy today. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Am feeling well and I am hoping to go home tomorrow. Doc said everything looked pretty good. I hope you all are doing well.

Happy Holidays!

Summer

1/4 cup per meal if I could even eat that much. Love love love these much smaller portions

Summer

Awesome job! You look great

Gosh Kathy that is awesome. You should be so proud of yourself. I hope next November I can say that I met my goal at a year out

Congratulations!

Summer

My surgeon has been outstanding. And yes I do have both zofran and phenagrin from the dr as well as a script to reduce tummy acid. I think I'm just in a learning curve lol. I got to start many new things on Thursday. So far a soft scrambled egg is just simply amazing!

Athena My first egg after surgery was the best egg I ever ate! This is just an incredible time in our lives. I am so happy I had this done. I was sleeved 5 weeks ago today and I am down 20 lbs! I hardly ever feel hungry and I am doing well with eating only the foods that are allowed.

I hope everyone else is doing awesome. If you feel like bragging about your weight loss I would love to hear what you have lost!

Summer

My instructions from the surgeon state to take Prilosec for 6 months.

I hope you have continued success. You have done an awesome job!
