DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY DAY!!!!!!! The progress you make happens much faster that you were expecting, but it also does not happen at a constant rate. Your weight loss is more like the growth spurts of puberty - dramatic changes over time, but almost unnoticed from day to day.
If you want to know what is happening, go clothes shopping every 4-6 weeks. The changes as you shrink will be VERY apparent since your sizes will change just about every time!!

It took me 30 years of fighting obesity, every diet you can imagine, sometimes multiple times, like weight watchers, not that I don't believe some people can do it, but it is a very small percentage, and finally 3 years to really decide I was going to get drastic and do the gastric sleeve. I am terrified of surgery and it was a very big difficult decision. Sometimes I still cannot believe I have actually done it and it is now almost 16 months and 117lbs down. 17 more lbs to reach my goal.
Anyway I am now able to postpone my left knee replacement, NSV and I went to Seaworld and the Wild animal Park, San Diego last week and was able to walk around both parks, only sitting occasionally, still have arthritis in knees, but the weight loss has made such a tremendous difference. I walked hills that i would not dare 2 years ago to even attempt, and my husband could not believe it either, another huge NSV.
So if you are having any doubts, the doubt should be what took so lo
ng, do it, it is amazing, and absolutely life changing for the better. Good luck to all, and go for it.

Hi all,
I just came back from my first post-op appointment and I have lost 10kg and 11cm from my waist. I deliberately avoiding weighing until this appt (3 weeks post op) and I wasn't even sure I had lost anything as I think I was a little scared to be optimistic. I am absolutely thrilled and it's made the last 3 weeks worth it.
I have been cleared for soft foods and the head hunger/ crazy hormones are reducing. I just wanted to share this because I have continuously read threads on this forum and I am just so pleased I couldn't help it. I know it's one step forward but for me it's a big one
Have a good day all x

I was afraid to date before my surgery but I did and I didn't tell absolutely anyone about my surgery until it was too late and my mind was made up. I didn't allow anyone to deter me. The person I was dating tried to show me all these wls horror stories on YouTube

I'm a newbie and I understand your frustration with the stupidity. I saw someone ask about chips like 1 week post-op but we need you veterans to keep us focused and there's a lot I need help with and would much rather hear from someone experienced. sleeved November 8th. 27yrs.

I'm really close to my family but I knew they were against surgery so I waited until the day of surgeryand sent this message:
If you're receiving this message I'm already in the operating room getting laproscopic gastric sleeve surgery. I didn't tell any of you because I wanted this to be my choice. I educated myself through kaiser's options program for over 3 months. I love you all. I have to stay overnight I'm at harbor city kaiser in the Vermont Pavillion. I would love for you guys to be there for my dismissal because the doctor is going to give you information on how to deal with a family member who has undergone bariatric surgery. My friend is with me. Please don't be mad at her I made her swear to secrecy. Hope to see you soon
