Thanks. I had my surgery out of town and I'm doing very well so far. I'm 7 months out and it's getting hard. I've lost over 100 pounds. I want to stay on track. I will check these places. I'm just not sure since I didn't have my surgery at these hospitals that I can join their groups. Thank you both very much. [emoji4]

Is there any support groups for either of these two counties in Ohio. Something close to Columbus, Hilliard, Grove City, West Jeff would be great. Thanks

I was just sleeved 12/7. I was wearing 8W and already down to 7.5M. Feels good not to have to buy wides. It's hard to find anything I like it wides and most stores don't carry many.

I was sleeved Dec 17 and I feel my weight is slow coming off also. Post Op weight 302. Surgery day 277 and today 242. I can't seem to eat over 500 calories a day. Just seems it should be faster. I think maybe it's age or starting BMI. I guess at least we are losing and I think slow may be better in the long run. ????????

What's the best face and best body lotions?? I don't know about others but my skin is changing with this type of eating and weight loss.

I work at a office and return to work in 5 days. I could only work half days and my wonderful husband drive me to and from work.

I feel that same. I really don't want anyone to know I weighed as much as I did. Thanks for the good suggestions for answers on the number question.

I'm about three weeks and nothing taste the same.

I was sleeved Dec 17 and stalled last week and still am. It is upsetting knowing you are only eating about 500 calories. However, thanks to the support on here we know this is part of this life long battle.

God is good all the time and all the time God is good. This post is great. What a wonderful thought. I pray all the time and know Gods plans is for us to prosper. A great reminder to know God has this. Lets always pray for one another. ????

Christmas is so hard and I so want to get depressed but I'm not going to fall into that. I'm 7 days post op and can only have purée food which I'm finding very gross. Just started that yesterday. I have made cookies and fudge and today cooking a big Christmas dinner. My wonderful husband is helping a lot. I just can't be selfish and not do it for my kids, which I haven't told about my surgery. They think I'm just not feeling well, which is true. I'm not myself yet. Wanted to share this in case anyone else is going through the same. It's hard because I wish I could enjoy dinner with them.

Except when I first woke up, I've never really felt pain. Went to work 5 days later. I do get tired faster. My BMI was 48.

I was up 8 pounds 2 days post op and was so upset. Some pals on here told me this can happen because all the IVs. Now I'm 7 days post op and down a total of 10 pounds since surgery. Hang in there that fluid weight will drop plus more.

Mine was only about 45 minutes. Recovery 4 hours and discharged. I'm one week out and doing well. According to my doctor on a track and I've lost total of 40 since pre op diet 4 weeks ago. 10 since surgery last week.

I was told today that my purée foods should have be the consistency of applesauce. I get started tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
