I had my sleeve on March 7 and I asked the Lord to go before me and smooth things with all the people and things that I would have to be engaged in and he answered my prayers. The first couple of
Hours were a little rough but after that hump it seem to be al little more tolerable. I came home Thursday morning and have been doing well. Just remember to keep hydrated, breath and walk and let your body do the rest

Awesome! Congratulations:)

Awesome! Congratulations!

All I can say is this weight loss feels AMAZING!! The old me is coming back and ready for it all! This journey has had its ups and downs but the best part is seeing a better me

I'm ok had a lot of gas pain but it starting to pass some. My incisions feel great haven't used to much meds.

Luckily, I didn't have to throw out temptations...The premiere Protein shakes....almost suppress my hungee...which is awesome!..I went to brunch yesterday with my friends and had a side salad (light dressing) and a fruit cup and my Protein Shake on ice. I watched them eat..and never felt tempted! Thank you God for my strength & determination!

You should be able to eat 2 to 3oz of food now. Or 1/2 cup.

For the Soup it's a liquid. Don't be surprised if you able to do 8oz because liquids go in the stomach and leave the stomach quick.

I measure all my food out on a food scale and track all of it on a app called mynetdiary.

I think that far from surgery I was getting about 500 - 700 calories.

I was sleeved 2 days before you, I'm glad you posted this. Today was the first time I noticed a difference, I looked in the mirror in my car before I stepped out to class & noticed my cheeks are dry. I noticed that since I haven't consumed any fat since pre-op liquids my skin has been less oily, but now it's straight dry. I don't know where it comes from but I'm guessing it's because we're not consuming fat. Our bodies use up Water & Protein more than ever now since that's all we're consuming for now.


Height: 5'0"
Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.
Surgery date: 2/13/17
Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).
Current weight: 185.2
My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

When I made the decision to have the surgery I weighed 368. On the day of surgery I weighed 332. Now, almost 3 months out I weigh 287.4. So I've only lost 44.6 pounds since surgery. I was expecting a greater weight loss since I had such a high BMI (general rule of thumb, the more you weigh when you start the faster you lose... but doesn't take into account things like thyroid) but oh well... such is life.

Sleeved on Feb 10, 2017 weighing 372. Today I weigh 338.

I didn't have a preop diet, but I highly recommend it. I had a lot of head hunger, but pretty much have solved it.

SW 372 GW 260

I started at 386. Day of surgery (12/21/16 VSG) I weighed 366. I'm at 311 today.

I was sleeved in November 2015. When I started my pre-op diet, I was 518 lbs, had high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and could not walk much more than 1 block without getting out of breath. 16 months later, I am now 226 lbs, off of all of my medicines, all of my health problems are completing resolved, and I actually enjoy working out! The only down side I have is that I have had to blow a lot of money on clothes because I haven't stayed in a particular size for all that long. One of the best decisions that I have ever made.

Sleeved on 11-29-2016

I started my journey at 540 in October of 2015. At surgery in May of 2016 I was 480. I am now 8 1/2 months out and am now at 319 pounds! My surgeon is very happy with my weight loss and yelled at me when I said I was worried I hadn't lost enough. :-P My surgeon never gave me a weight loss goal.

My husband is preop, just waiting for surgery date. On Nov 22,2016 at 1st weigh in he was 691lbs. He just had his 3rd nutritional visit and is down to 646. He's lost just under 50lbs follwing the nutritionsts advice. I'm so extremely proud of him.

I started at 466 i got sleeved on 1/20/2017 and on the 30th i was already 446.. Im feeling great. No dumping syndrome no nausea and no vomiting.. I want to be atvleast 220.. My surgeon says by december ill be under 300. Thats a lot. Considering in sept i weighed 560 and due to a hospitalization of 4 months i lost about 90 lbs.. Soo this is soo great for me. Never give up. I wont.
2017 get ready for Me!

Started my journey at 426. Had my band to bypass revision at 390. Six months post op, I am 281. I still have a long ways to go and weight loss has definitely slowed, but it's still working and I am going to see it through until I reach my goal.

The beginning of my journey I was 398...day of surgery (December 22nd 2016) I weighed 345 and today I am 303 so in about a month and a half I've lost 42 pounds! I've seen some people lose faster than others but at the end of the day were all losing and regaining our health! That's all that matters! Good luck
