I am doing well. Haven't been on in a while. Surgery date was 10/5. Starting weight was 254, surgery weight was 216, current weight is around 185 (and has been holding at that for a month-ish). I am feeling really good though. Wearing a size 10 and super happy.

Starting weight 253 Surgery weight (10/5): 228 Current weight: 186 I'm 5'8" and wearing a size 10/12. Amazing! I don't count calories but I focus on 3 oz Protein first at every meal and don't snack. No shakes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes. I had vsg on 10/5. Started at 254 (at orientation in September), now 191. Feeling great! I have Kaiser so have only been to the support groups there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had sleeve surgery on 10/5 and have been doing great! Like @@bwyjunky79 I seem to be able to eat anything (in very small amounts). I continue to focus on Protein and hydration, with fiber/complex carbs when I have room left. SW 228 CW 196 (and down from a tight size 16 to a size 12 - woohoo!). @@TiredOfMyself - here is my usual food for the day: Breakfast - coffee with nf milk, then 1 egg, 1-2 oz cheese lunch - 3 oz grilled chicken, tuna salad or deli meat, 3 wheat crackers (encouraged by my NUT) Dinner- varies every day but always 3 oz meat (tonight was grilled shrimp, the night before was pot roast) plus a few bites of vegetable Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ask your doctor. I swim a lot and my doctor told me 3 weeks (he said up to 4 depending on how the incisions were healing, but gave me the all-clear at three weeks because they were looking great).

I drank decaf for the first six weeks post-op because I love the taste of coffee and and morning smells/ritual of making it. I started drinking half-caff at 7 weeks (I'm almost 9 weeks post-op now) and the little bit of caffeine has been great.

Whole wheat crackers without seeds are encouraged in my plan starting from week 4 - but only 2-3 crackers and only if you have room after you eat your 3oz of Protein. I often eat 2 "open to nature" wheat crackers (very similar to wheat thins) after I eat my egg+cheese in the mornings.

I am six weeks out and go three or four times a week. I always get a decaf, nonfat latte. 11g of Protein really helps my protein goals for the day. I'm switching to half-caff soon! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

perspectiveiseverything replied to QueenOfTheTamazons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AHad a yummy dinner tonight so I thought I'd share. Barbacoa lamb/beef meat with roasted honeynut squash and Brussels sprouts. Family made it into tacos. For size perspective, it is in a dip serving dish (my fav dishes to eat from these days - perfect portion sizes). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
