TxCoon

52 pounds at three months. Starting weight 243.

I was 310 day of surgery on 4/6, though I was 325 when I started my two-week pre op diet. I'm closer to four months now and I've lost 77 lbs total. At three months I had lost 67 lbs.

I'm 4 months post op and I'm down 58 lbs since surgery. I have a total loss of 67 lbs.
Surgery 3/25 287 lbs
Today 8/3 229 lbs and counting
I am so happy that I'm losing this weight. I have been wanting this for a long time. I can finally see the difference but the sad thing for me right now is, not knowing what size to get from the store. The weight is coming off pretty fast.
Good luck everyone

I have had h-pylori before, the drugs knocked me out. You make me nervous. What if I have something like that when I get to Mexico? I have been washing my hands and taking Vitamins, but like txcoon I might not be having symptoms of anything.

My surgery is also 8/12. I too had tested positive for h-pylori and had to take the antibiotic treatment. I was told it was very common to fail. Fortunately I had enough time to be re-tested before my surgery was scheduled. I passed the re-test. Don't worry, it will only be a short delay.

20pds away from goal 7mts out of surgery never felt better

I'm on a week diet of healthy foods then next week I start a week of liquids. Good luck to everyone. My surgery is August 12th

You're my surgery date twin!

August 12th for me! I'm ready!

Had my consult today and surgery date is scheduled for August 12th! Super excited!!

My favorite is LoseIT ... I tried MyFitnessPal, but didn't care for it, altho it has a great database on foods. My preference for LoseIT is (with premium membership @ $39/yr) you have a great deal of control over the calorie budget. The UI and UX is great for adding foods via barcode scanning, select from prior meals, custom foods, custom recipes (that can be shared).
Also, as an avid iPhone user, the integration with Health app seems to be superior with LoseIT, IMHO.

Congrats!! I am right there with you. I am almost 3 months post op and EXTREMELY happy with my weight loss and absolutely thrilled I chose this surgery. I am loving my transformation and things have gotten easier with my eating, so I feel complete almost.
I am going on a mini vacation this weekend too for the first time. We are going tubing on the river, and I will be wearing a bathing suit and actually feel more comfortable. I can't wait!!
Oh and I've lost a total of 40 lbs as of today, since pre-op, and 24 lbs since surgery!
Have fun on your vaca!!

When was your surgery? Mine was April 6 and I've lost 40lbs with lots of hard work. I thought it was going to be much quicker.... Congrats on your loss

Hi, I'm also 3 months post op, surgery 4/8, and have lost a total of 50 lbs. I hope the next 50 lbs comes of by my sixth month, because I totally hate the stalls.

My surgery was 4/14 and I know I work hard to make sure I lose some weight...and hopefully I continue to lose at the rate that I'm losing because the more you lose weight you start losing weight slower

One week pre-op vs. five weeks post-op:

I'm down 50 lbs as well since surgery 4/8/15. SW 342, CW 290.

I'm down 50 @ 3 months. How are you doing? I've noticed it coming off less rapidly the closer I get to goal...

I'm self pay too. My consult is next Friday. His office said I should be able to have surgery by the 2nd week in August so I'm super excited. Good luck on your journey as well

Having Adam Levine here to tend to my every whim.
Sorry!! daydreaming again

@@The Candidate has a great point. Take measurements and photos. You will want to recheck those measurements to see your progress. When you his a stall, and you will, measurements will show you that you are still losing when the scale isn't moving.
I walked and moved around as much as I could and when I rested I watched movies. Get your supplies together so you don't have to have anyone make runs to the store. Get sf popsicles for the freezer so if you have problems drinking you can do those. Vitamin Water Zero, G@ Gatorade, Powerade Zero for different flavors. Mio drops for your Water. Anything you need from your nutritionists plan for after surgery.
Good luck!!

Don't forget to take before and after photos and measurements! You will want them to chart just how far you've really come. Good luck!

Walking was a biggie, but also my wife helped me stock up on Water, flavored drinks, Jello, broths, Tomato Soups, Vitamins, and Protein, I got by the first three weeks without shopping, I took several naps the first three days, and tris to learn to get my fluids in, ice and or ice chips really helped since I had no appetite the first few days, and I also made sure I was comfortable and had my tablet and TV, My meds were ordered before surgery so they were waiting when I came home, I only took my pain meds the first 3 or 4 days then didn't need them anymore, stock up on whAt your surgeon gives you for diet but only enough for the amount of time and be comfortable

I had my sleeve surgery in August 2014 and had to have my gallbladder removed in October 2014 because of gallstone attacks. Having to abdominal surgeries that close together was not fun and I was in terrible pain after the gallbladder surgery, probably because they used the same incisions to go in. That being said, my doctor told me that there's no way my gallbladder deteriorated that quickly and that I probably had the stones and sludge before my VSG. I would ask your doctor to at least check if you have an issue with your gallbladder before surgery. I wish I had!
