I guess I'm an occasional lurker. I had surgery almost 6 months ago on May 4th. The first month was really hard but once I got back on solid foods I haven't had any problems. My initial start weight at consultation was 270 pounds. Day of surgery I was about 248. Today I am at 185 pounds a total loss of 85 pounds! I think the weight loss has finally slowed down a bit since I haven't lost anything for about 3 weeks or so. I am enjoying the new ways I eat. I eat a lot of Protein as suggested by the doctor. I haven't had any problems eating anything. Right now chicken, fish, and turkey are the main things I eat with a vegetable side. Still working hard to get down to goal weight which is between 160 and 165. I am so glad I did this. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost a month post surgery and my husband keeps saying don't get too skinny. I told him if he didn't like it let me know and I will gladly get someone who does. I didn't do this for him anyway and I keep reminding him of that. Keep getting to your goal and whatever happens it will be for the best. You will have people that support you and the one person you want to be there for you may not see that they want to be. That's their loss. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I didn't think the gas would ever go away but it did by about day 6 for me. Hang in there it gets better. Drink warm drinks and maybe warm showers. That helped me. Walking too! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

10 days post op and they are kicking my butt! I try to drink slow and that doesn't seem to be working. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

This gas build up is seriously trying to take me out right now. I think I'm being discharged today. Would have gotten out yesterday but I couldn't pee. I am so glad I had this surgery. I am very excited about what's to come. I was 268 on first visit I was 248 pre op Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

1. I can't wait to actually run around and play with my little boy. 2. Maybe have another baby (god willing). 3. Fit in plane seats better or in a restaurant booth. 4. Dress better. 5. Just live. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I'm pretty much in and out of the office. I am planning on taking a week and a half. I go in on a Wednesday and I think a week and a half should be ok. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I've told my parents and husband. I've slowly told people at work I'm having surgery soon but I've said gallbladder surgery. I just don't feel comfortable telling people. The most important people know that's all that matters. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Mine was for the first time in my life not being able to fit in a amusement park seat or being packed into an airline seat. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App
