My Halloween before and after since I went to a party this past weekend. Sleeved 5/21/2015 (5 months today) -80lbs

2 1/2 months post op... -54lbs so far....

Where are you from? What surgery did you have? When did you have surgery? (Only if you want to answer) How much weight loss? Favorite Protein food? Hardest food to eat? Biggest NSV (non-scale victory) so far? One interesting fact about yourself?

last night when I got home they were eating t-bone steak i almost wanted to ask if I could just have a lick of the steak.

I'm 3 weeks post op I can barely drink and eat so I'm supose to. I can't imagine over eating I'm trying not to dehydrate or faint....

I'm not allowed peanut butter

When did you start peanut butter?

mood swings yes! yesterday i wanted to kill someone because my condo complex left a warning sticker on my car apparently I forgot to renew my tags by one day! lol

So Thursday I start regular foods (no more mushy soft etc...) any suggestions?

Day 3. Day 15 (Thursday) I'm going to regular food...

I'm 11 days post op and my question is why does losing stop at 65%? I mean right now i can't each much more than 1/4 cup of anything at a time so I would think i just keep losing like forever lol

Hi Everybody! Day 11 post op -19lbs wondering what everyone is eating after two weeks? Need to plan for when I start eating solid food on Wednesday. Thanks. xoxo

you look fab!!!

thank you so much! you are so brave! and congrats on your success!

Can someone please tell me your first few days/weeks post op that's realistic but not a complete horror story? lol thanks!

Can someone please tell me something about the first couple days/weeks post op that isn't a horror story? thanks. Surgery on Thursday...

any particular food you have a hard time with?

5/21 as well

My mom brought me to my first weight watchers meeting at 12 years old in Toronto, CA. I remember having a sleepover a few days after and eating carrot sticks while the other girls ate Cookies. I’ve lost 70-80lbs at least 3 or 4 times on weight watchers throughout my adult life. 3 years ago and about 60lbs lighter I had a massive panic attack which put me into constant anxiety for about a month straight. Couldn’t eat and didn’t want to leave the house. Once I conquered my anxiety (through treatment and therapy) I swore I would never beat myself up over eating so I didn’t. Since then I’ve gained 70lbs. I’m a happy person and except for a few skin issues pretty much healthy but I’m back in my “fat cocoon”. A cocoon that although comforting and safe is keeping me from all the things I could do, I could be. There is a saying in Overeaters Anonymous that says: “I came for the vanity and stayed for the sanity”. I’d like to be sane when it comes to food. I’d like to be at a weight that allows me to do the things I’d like to do and not be obsessed with the next meal. Oct 2014 found out my insurance would cover my surgery. Had to do 6 months supervised diet. Stressed myself for 6 months about not losing weight, if the ins would approve etc. Submitted my paperwork in March and was approved in 48hrs. I hugged my coworkers I was so excited. Surgery Date: 5/21/2015. The beginning of a new chapter!

and the only carb is in the morning either plain oatmeal or plain kashi

She's actually OK with protein sources having some natural fat but she's not allowing any mayo or healthy oils like at all.... seems a bit extreme
