Thank you for all your responses…didn't know if i was going overboard.Ive learned I'm going to want to weight everyday so I've just been doing it in the morning right before i take a shower, otherwise i would be wondering all day.
I just went to my post op appt. I weighed before i left with nothing on and i was at 236 and when i went to hospital didn't take anything off or out of pockets because thats how i weighed Ive always weighed at the doctors office 242. I didn't freak out becasue i weighed with everything on, on my scale and about the same thing. Either way I'm down 18 pound fully clothed or 23 in 13 days! Plus I got those annoying staples out. I can't wait until i can go to the gym but I have 3 weeks before i can do that. So I'm still walking...

I gotta scale before surgery…I'm 9 days out of surgery and I'm having a hard time not weighing myself everyday. I've been trying to stop because a lot of the times it has bummed me out because my weight has been fluctuating. So I was wondering should it be a once a week thing? or stop worrying about the scales for awhile? Ive been walking a at least a mile a day and following my diet plan.

Had Surgery Jan 6th….Everything is going smoothly the large incision still tender getting up and down and stretching does feel to good. Gas has been going away that was the worst pain for me personally. How are everyones post op meal plans i know each dr or hospital has different…I'm on Clear Liquids for this first week…now I'm about to move to full liquids for week 2 and 3 (means i get yogurt, cream Soup, thin sliced mashed potatoes, oatmeal)….cant wait until my 4th week for some actual food

yeah i had all those feelings its the waiting that gets you. I've only been out six days but it has been so worth it, have no fear! i wake up every morning and the pounds are just coming off. I actually want to work out and i never thought i would have said that.

Telling people at first was very hard and very private. I am now 19 months out and when asked what I did I just tell them the truth. I admit that I have a moments pause gather my courage and tell the truth. I have done a fantastic job and irregardless of how I did it.........I did it! I haven't gotten a negative response yet. Going out for dinner with someone who is paying the bill be it a date or a family member I am just very carefully about what I order and do my best. I was very concerned about this at first but as time goes on you can eat more. Give yourself some time and it will get easier. Just make wise choices and ditch the potato for another veggie side and pace yourself. It will be fine. Best of luck to you!

This being the guy’s room, I think a dinner date will be comical. A girl would never allow herself to eat more than her date. Be polite and let her order first. Then just order the smallest healthiest thing on the menu and watch her push the food around the plate all evening. Feed her lots of drinks. Then invite her over and show off your newly found endurance. When she cries uncle and asks if you took Viagra you can smile to yourself.

Nice what year are you? I kinda messed around and switched majors to much so i have 3 semesters left. good luck on the surgery thats coming up soon. are you nervous

I lived in charleston for five years up until this last fall, to prepare to have this surgery and get some money to come back to cofc this fall. When did you get sleeved?
