If you weren't obese "all" of your life, what is it that caused you to become obese ?

I'm 3 months post op and I guess I'm considered slow, too. But, I'm not so sure I buy into this "honeymoon" period nonsense. I think that line of thinking happens as a result of people naturally getting lax after a year, and not so much a result of the tool itself. I think the tool works as long as you work the tool. In other words, even if you lose slow, you still lose. Just keep doing the right things.

When I was first post op I was THRILLED when I was in the lb/day phase. Now at 3 months post op I'm lucky if I get a lb a week sometimes. Then out of nowhere I'll get 6 in one week. There is NO normal lol. Roll with it, girlfriend - this is a crazy ride!

It's so minimal, it really doesn't matter. What matters is what you put in your body post op. Protein, protein, protein.

Awe dang! I missed it!

Well heck, you got engaged on my surgery day, so I'll definitely vote!

YES

It gets better. WALK, WALK, WALK. Honestly, that's the best thing. I remember my second night after surgery I was so uncomfortable I walked laps between by kitchen and livingroom for 2 hours in the middle of the night. It helps so much!

I posted on this preop and got a variety of answers. Now that I'm post op I can attest that my shoe size has gone down almost a whole size and I still have 50 lbs to go. But, maybe some people don't have as much fat on their feet? I dunno...

Yeah.... it works. Don't over-think this. It. Works. Don't waste precious time and energy worrying - that's the one thing I wish I had done differently. Look forward to all the exciting changes! Best thing I've ever done for me!

Happens all the time now!

I would have spent less time worrying that I was making the wrong decision and spent more time looking forward to how it was going to be. This surgery was the nicest thing I've ever done for myself. I wish I had done it years ago!

Get a lawyer.

I quit a little over a year ago. I had surgery to get healthy, and decided that smoking defeated that purpose. I'll never go back!

I have a totally new normal, and it's light years better than the old normal!

Have you called your surgeon?
