Almost 100 pounds down

I'm also on March 13th and my birthday is actually the week before lol. I haven't told anyone at all yet and am debating who to share this with - I don't want to hear the criticism and second-guessing because I'm nervous enough already!! Here's hoping we both get through this with great health and great success!

Yay, march 13 people! Let's stay in contact.

Today marks one month post op and I have lost 22.4 pounds. I have been doing pretty good with no complications. I am on regular food now but I do take it slow. I am determined to start consistently working out this week even if it's just a walk a day. I am thinking of switching to the Vitamin Patch as this chalky Bariatric Advantage Vitamins make me feel sick. My question is, what's the average weight loss that is expected a month? I know everyone is different but I kind of wanting to know others thoughts.

Hello,
I am just about 5 months out and I've had a few stalls along the way..... they happen.
But for the last couple of months I have been steadily losing weight.
What is working for me:
Keeping my carbs under 35 grams a day. Making sure I get 100 grams of Protein a day. Drinking at least 80 ounces of fluids a day. My calories are between 800-900 daily. Doing those things, I generally lose between 3-4 pounds a week. I track everything with myfitnesspal, it helps me a lot.
I am also not exercising at all, unfortunately. I have 2 incisional hernias (one quite large) that give me a lot of pain. Also dealing with constant abdominal pain and Constipation. I can hardly wait to lose a little more weight and have my hernia surgery, because I can't wait to be able to exercise.
Hope that helps.

Ok- I need help. I have stopped losing weight at 4 months out. 61 lbs down. Here's the kicker... I am disabled (I have MS) can't just get up and walk. So exercise options are minimal. My caloric intake is about 800 calories. Any words of wisdom of what to do to help kickstart my weight loss again?

Mine is March 13 and my bday is at the end of March. It's getting real and I am starting to get nervous I just want everything to be ok. I have my appt today with my Surgeon and I don't know what to ask. I only told my uncle and my children that I was having this done ( I didn't want criticism from anyone else in my family). Amy advice or we'll wishes is appreciated. I only started the journey of surgery last year.

Is you finance over weight? How about your family members? Very often these reactions are about their issues with weight. Someone else making changes threatens them.
You are so young and your life is just starting. Please don't live your life to please others. And, as Hollyhock just said, think carefully about getting married to someone who gets angry at you for wanting to improve your appearance and health.
My experience that my fat friends have been the least supportive. Even the ones who don't know I have had WLS but notice that I've lost some weight manage to piss me off. One of them recently told me she thought I'd lost enough weight! Seriously? Um... I weigh 235 POUNDS, I am morbidity obese.

My surgeon advises that excess acid production feels a LOT like hunger. Are you ona PPI (zantac, Prilosec, Nexium?) Do you mean that you feel EMPTY, LIGHTHEADED, WEAK or are you talking about a burning or painful sensation in the stomach?
If it is the latter, I would consult your doc's office again and don't get out of their faces until they agree to take a look. Maybe it is an ulcer, maybe it is excess acid, maybe it is something else. This isn't normal for 6-8 weeks out and they need to do something besides pat you on the head and send you on your way.

This 1st pic is me at my heaviest in 7/2012 @ 303lbs ( me sitting in the chair)
The 2nd pic (me & wax figure) was taken 11-3-2012 I was @ 282lbs ( surgery was 11-08-2012)
The 3rd pic (me in mirror) was taken 3-31-2013 I am guessing I was @ 220lbs
and the last pic was taken yesterday @ 218lbs .. I am half way to goal.. so I still have a ways to go,, can't wait to hit onederland!!

11 months post op -90.

Today's makes 8 months since I was sleeved I started at 213 and am now 143. I am currently in the maintenance phase

Should have taken a picture, but had almost a whole hot wienie with about half the chilli on it. One bite of slaw, because it's slaw and you just have to.
I am stuffed to think before it was nothing to eat a double dog plate,w bun fries and slaw. Washed down with a large soda.

Statistically, the sleeve is less invasive than the bypass, requires a shorter surgery, and a shorter recovery time. The bypass has been around a lot longer than the sleeve, and all else being equal you will likely lose slightly more with the bypass in a shorter amount of time. Personally, after I did the research, I got the sleeve, which is also what my doctor recommended.

Go ahead and do it
