I am a little less than three months out and am down 40 lbs from my highest weight!! Only 100 to go! Left pic is at highest weight, right is last weekend. HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 246.4 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I was hoping not to get them but now I can't wait for new boobs (via a lift). I'm only about 3 months out from surgery though!

2/10 weigh in 247.8 gw for this 230 HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 247.8 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

Current weight: 250 Goal weight: 230 HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I had pain in lower right a few weeks after surgery. Not on an incision but dr said still normal since the muscles had been cut HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I'm also so excited for tummy roll above the belly button to go away!! Awesome job and thanks for the motivation!! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I am not tall but my BMI was over 50 at my highest. I lost the most on the two week pre op liquid diet (followed it very strictly) and have noticed that now that I am cleared for full exercise, I am losing quickly again! I could only walk for the first six weeks. We will see how long it keeps dropping quickly but in ten weeks I went from a BMI of 50.6 to 44.3. HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

A tip that really helped me:warm liquids go down much easier than room temperature or cold. Having tea or hot broth might make it easier to get in fluids! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I was told that our fat stores hormones so as we lose weight those hormones get released and messing with emotions and periods. Also, my doctor told me I had to use 2 methods of birth control for the first year so if you aren't using any, that might be worth looking into. HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I started with eggs! The refried Beans and then cheese HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 250.2 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I also tried countless ways to lose weight, but nothing worked. A lot of people talk about head hunger and while I had cravings, definitely and still do, I truly was hungry so often before surgery. Studies have been done that show being overweight might produce more of the hunger hormone. Now that I'm no longer feeling hunger like I did, it's much easier to be logical about what I eat and talk myself out of my cravings. Just a little encouragement for your friend!!

I had one pre op and it was really hard to drink the barium and besides that you just lay there super painless! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 253.8 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I ate raw vegies and salad at 8 weeks post op and it has been fine. My stomach was processed lots of things well, though. I used to hate salad but weirdly I've been kind of craving them now!! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 253.8 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

Wohoo!!! Stats are in the signature; so glad I did this! It does feel like the weight is coming off slow, but I was cleared to do exercise besides walking last week so I'm hoping that jump starts things. How many cals is everyone eating? HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 253.8 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I think a challenge would be fun! I could use some accountability!! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 252 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I had an incision right above my belly button that folded into my fat roll where my belly button is. If you had six incisions, one I'd probably right above your belly button. HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 252 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

I've been burping a lot too but mostly as I'm eating and getting to the full point. My mom had surgery over two years ago and burps all the time still. HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 252 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23

So inspiring!!! HW 285.8 SW 272.8 CW 252 GW 140 Sleeved 11/23
