199

I agree his bedside manner was just ok. But my surgery went without complications so that's all I could ask for!

I'm sooooooo excited to post today's weigh in!!! I'm officially in ONEDERLAND! Weight today is 199.1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 10 weeks out and last week my husband took me out to dinner for my birthday and I had 2 glasses of pinot grigiot. I can honestly say I should have stopped at one. The second made me loopy. Nothing affected me negatively health wise but I just don't want to get sick or drunk.

You look beautiful and healthy! What an inspiration. I started at the same weight and am 5'7". I am just about at the halfway point and you're inspiring me to get through the next half. How long did it take you to lose @@bellabloom? Did you do a lot of exercise? I'm just walking 4x a week right now and am slowly gearing up to start adding real workouts now that I finally feel like my energy level has come back. I'm 9 weeks out and am 203lbs. I was sleeved may 21st. Thanks for sharing!

Birthday party aftermath: 206

Hi everyone. I was sleeved may 21st. Hope everyone's doing well as we move into our third month! My surgery weight was 231 and today I am 204. Not as much as I'd hoped but better than nothing! Today was my very first cheat day as we celebrated my birthday. I had some small tastes of food I haven't had in soooo long, including a glass of wine. I also had a small slice of ice cream cake. I don't feel bad or guilty. I know that tomorrow I'll be back to my normal regimen.

Today's weight = 206.4

Congratulations on setting yourself free to be who God intended you to be

I just got the call that my insurance approved today and my surgery is set for May 21. I just got finished with vacation so from here on my new life is about to begin. I kind of had my "fat funeral" on vacation. Didn't go crazy, just ate what ever I wanted knowing it would be the last time in a long time. I'm an emotional binge eater too so I'm most worried about that when stress becomes a factor. Looking for some other people going on this journey at the same time so we can support and encourage each other. My husband had the lap band in 2007, which hasn't worked for him long term. He is urging me to do this because he feels it will be better results than the band. He wants to be sleeved to but insurance won't approve the revision because his band isn't problematic. So nervous, excited and scared all at once. I'm 5'7, 250lbs. Can't wait for this!

Hi there, I'm plugging along finally broke through a 3 week agonizing stall! Upped my protein and water like crazy. I was sleeved may 21st. SW before Preop diet : 250 Surgery weight: 231 Current Weight: 208.5 Total weight loss to date: 41.5lbs

Current weight: 208.5 Target weight: 190

I'm in! Current weight is 213lbs. Goal for challenge is to reach 193.

@@Mulepick Did you change anything to get it to move again? I'm in a stall too and am so frustrated.

I'm so frustrated! I was sleeved 5\21. For two weeks the scale has been hovering. It stays still or would go up one pound one day then back down the next. I'm so worried that it won't move again. I'm getting in between 900-1000 calories a day. Drinking lots of water and getting about 70-100g protein daily. Walking 3-5xs a week. Any suggestions?

Thank you for posting this. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me. I'm 6 weeks out and am at a stall for 2 weeks where I'm hovering at the same 20lb loss give or take a pound every couple of days. this morning I weighed myself and was up a pound from the previous time I weighed myself and I have not cheated, have been walking daily and am getting my minimum of Protein. I briefly thought to myself, I had my stomach cut out, if I don't lose any more weight I'll be devastated. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the scale moving again? I don't want to break mentally. I was a 39 bmi when I started and was 231lbs at the time of surgery. I was 212 this morning. Thanks.

I weighed 231 at the time of my surgery and I'm 213 5 weeks out now so I've lost a total of 18lbs since surgery. I had lost 19 on my post op diet so total loss is 37lbs.

Yesterday was 5 weeks post op for the new me! My NSV is that I went from a size 20w (and they were getting tight! ) to today where I'm wearing a size 16w shorts that are fitting comfortably!

Your sunglasses keep falling off your face because they are too loose! Never would have imagined!

You look fantastic! I'm shocked that so much came off so quickly for you! I started at 250 and am 5'7. Did you lose a lot prior to surgery? Have you worked out a lot? What was your keys to success? I'm so inspired by your success!

did you swell at first, so that it appeared you had not lost anything? Just had mine done 3 days ago, scale hasn't moved yet :-(It's common during the first few days not to see any scale movement. You've just had major surgery. Concentrate on healing and following the plan your Dr. gave you and don't worry about the scale for a while! There is definitely swelling from the procedure.

Forgive me men, but I need the ladies ears for a moment! I'm 4 weeks post op and am dealing with my first real pms cravings. I want chocolate! What do you veterans do to stifle your cravings? Tonight I mixed a tbsp of organic peanut butter and sugar free chocolate pudding and that seemed to kill it. When is it safe to eat even a small square of dark chocolate? That used to be my go to before surgery!

I haven't seen dark chocolate protein pudding? Is there a brand name that sells that?

This happened to me for the first time earlier this week (I'm 4 weeks post op) and I immediately stopped eating and walked away from my plate and kept walking until I felt better in about 2 minutes

Hi there, I was sleeved 5/21 and am doing pretty well. I'm learning that fro-yo and tuna cause immediate trips to the bathroom and that I need to really really work hard to eat over 70g of protein a day now and drink enough water. I do love my results so far and can't wait to see where I am 4 wks from now! Beginning weight : 250lbs Day of Surgery: 231 lbs Current weight: 214 lbs
