My heartburn has been bad lately! I found out it's from eating too fast and too big of a bite. I'm down 3 pounds since my doctor's appointment Wednesday. The fix? More food! I feel like I'm a little piggy now, but it worked! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

northcountry1, I'm so glad you're doing well! Isn't it nice for things to run smoothly? I wish you well in your weight loss! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

sha_sha_lucas, I am exercising fiercely lol I've slowed down in my weight loss considerably, but am seeing the fat melt away still. I went in today for a check in with the doc and started with 100 pounds of fat down to 76 pounds of fat now. I've lost 30.2 pounds on the scale, now down to 194. I have been drinking my coffee as usual and have had a ton of energy. I built a gym in a building at my house and typically do 5-10 miles on the exercise back 4-5 days a week. I've also been doing strength training. I would suggest more Protein if you want more energy. It was hard to get motivated to start working out, but once I started I became addicted. Good luck! Let me know how you make it!!! I'm pulling for you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today is my one month surgiversary! I'm down a total of 27.1 pounds, 28.5 inches, and 3.2% body fat. I have 47.1 pounds to lose. I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday! I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and posting pics. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't updated in a little while. I'm three weeks post op today and have hit my first major goal! I started at 224.2 and am now down to 199.7! I'm down 24.5 inches and loving myself more and more every day. I have gone from a snug size 16 to a comfortable size 14 in jeans. Will post pics on my one month surgiversary.

So, I'm on day four of post op and doing great! I'm down a total of 13.7 pounds at this point and feel great. I have noticed one thing that I didn't expect...my vision seems to have changed. I'm hoping it has to do with the anesthesia not completely wearing off yet, but has anyone else experienced this? I wear contacts and have worn them for 20 years and have never had this problem. I woke up this morning and thought they were back to normal, but they are getting worse as the day progresses. Thoughts? TIA! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, jess_ga! I think I'll end up posting my results once a month. I did lose 10 pounds during pre-op dieting, so that was nice. good luck in August! Oh, and thanks for the heating pad idea. I wouldn't have thought of that! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery went well! The nausea was the hardest part of recovery for me. Gas pains have been minimal. I'm anxious to be home! Should get discharged in about 30 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, jess_ga! I'm actually using The Surgeon's Group, Dr. John Mathews. My scheduling was very quick as a self pay! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started my Pre-Op diet today. One week until I go under the knife! I'm down a little bit since my bariatric class (from 224 to 221) and hoping to get below 220 by my surgery date. I go for pre-admission day Wednesday. It's beginning to feel real! I'm including a copy of my pre-op diet for anyone who is interested. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
