When things are rough, and we have bad days, I want to have reminders of what I am working for. This is a shallow thing but I bought myself a cute outfit in my goal size today. Had my surgery monday, and I know it will be a long time until I fit in it, but I am sure before long I will be able to put it on and say, "I did it" and (holy s#!t, I can't believe I can wear this) I know the pounds will go away and there will be many other non scale victories that will happen along the way. What things are getting you through the hard days?

288.5 didn't make goal, but that's ok!

I'm in, goal weight 265

First stall this week, and 3 weeks out. What a surprise 289.7

Surgery 1/18 Down 17

289.4 thanks

Zip lining is on my list for this summer too!

How was your appt ? Have u started pureed? Hows it going ? It went well, the surgeon was happy with weight lost so far, 10 lbs in a week. I am cleared for purees and taking it slow with them. They for sure feel much heavier in my stomach than the liquids do. I've been getting about 56 of fluids and 70 of protein. I made some egg salad pureed and cauliflower puree which has been good. Planning on making chili which sounds awesome right now!

Hi, I was also 1/18 sleeve date. First follow up appointment tomorrow, should start purees! I was in more pain than I expected after surgery, but am doing better now. A week does make a big difference. Not getting 64oz/80-100 of protein yet but I keep trying.

296.6 - Never to start with a 3 again

I had my surgery the 18th, so I am 5 days out and already feeling much better. Still working toward fluid and protein goals but pain is much better and swallowing/drinking is easier. I had a rough first few days buy it gets a little easier every day.

I had mine on the 18th as well. That swallow test caused some awful nausea! I stayed in until Wednesday because I couldn't get enough fluid down and didn't pee until late evening. I felt much better going home Wednesday. Now just trying to get fluid and protein and manage pain.

306.4. Surgery day!

I was told plastic is ok but no metal for my nosering

I wasn't required to lose any. My insurance required that I not gain in the 3 month program before surgery though. 1 week into preop diet and have lost 6lbs. So I am 18 lbs down from my high weight this fall.

313 1/11. Thank you Preop liquid diet!

Also a January sleeve here, 1/18 in wisconsin. Getting through the pre-op diet now!

Can I be added in late? My weight 1/4 was 318.8. Goal weight 285. Thanks
