All my clothes I had pre surgery fit despite 60+ weight loss. They are really big but I still wear them. I see progress in pictures even if the scale barely moves. Definitely take pictures and compare with that and there’s no doubt you’ll see progress.

I'm 4 months out... I notice my weight loss more than what the scale is saying so while I'm definitely losing weight (about 10lbs a month) I can really see the inches. I recently compared a picture of me a month ago to now and it was only a 6lb difference but my body looks completely different despite "just losing" 6lbs because of the inches I lost.

Thank you!!!!!

I went through Aslimmerme... I'm doing amazing about 3 1/2 months out and down about 40lbs since surgery and 54 from heaviest weight

I'm in the same situation as you... I'm about 3 1/2 months post op and still wearing all my preppy clothes because although they are big I haven't had a big enough drop in sizes yet to buy smaller pants (started at a 22-24 and I'm maybe an 18 but I thought I'd be smaller by now).

It took us about 1 1/2 hours even using the medical lane... but it was a Saturday so I'm assuming it not normally that long during the week

My 6 year old couldn't care less... she only knows because she stayed with grandma while I was in Mexico having surgery and overheard me talking about surgeries in conversations. She said I didn't look skinny when I got back from surgery and hasn't really said anything since... kids that age really don't care and I wouldn't have directly told her or mentioned it had she not heard about it in conversations. My older daughter is 10 and I did talk to her about surgery some. She is a bit more mature for her age and was genuinely curious and interested and has done great not telling others about my surgery, however I only went into details with her because she also heard me discussing it with family otherwise I wouldn't have said anything to her either

I traveled alone also and had no problems... I didn't feel unsafe at anytime while I was in Tijuana.

$2,799 plus $150 for meds

Thank you both... I'm guessing it's just one of those couple of days where I feel like a bottomless pit. I noticed I'm able to take in a bigger volume of water too. I won't stress it and just make good choices and eat more often if I need to

I started couch to 5k on Wednesday... I'm doing three days a week and have only done one day so far... my appetite seems to have increased since I did the first day Wednesday and I just wondered if it's related to running or if it is just normal VSG post op stuff when you have days where you feel you need to eat more often (still 2-3 ounces). Maybe it's a combination of both running and having periods through this journey where you're appetite increases. I'm about a week or two shy of 3 months post op.

Yes it's 5k runner in the App Store

I just started couch to 5k and love how my body feels so far (only done one day so I'm far from a pro lol)... I also love lifting weights, aqua zumba and boot camp, and most if not all the beachbody workouts

I have been taking just fiber but it's not enough so I have to add a stool softener which ends up too strong for my tummy so I'm hoping once I find the right probiotic and start taking it that fiber and probiotics will be enough

I am most surprised that even though I'm heavier (surgery weight was 284) I'm not losing big numbers like a lot of others. My weight loss each week has been consistently 2.3-3 lbs a week but no huge losses. I'm also most surprised at how scared I am to try new sizes and how slow going down sizes has been. I am happy with my choice to have VSG but I'm surprised that I'm actually regretting not doing the original procedure I wanted (SADI-S) and didn't do because I had surgery in Mexico and wasn't comfortable have that type of surgery and not having my surgeon local. Lastly I'm a lot angrier since having surgery lol... my patience is a lot thinner and I just can't handle BS like I could before which is partially a good thing since before surgery I was a doormat and let everyone walk all over me and take advantage of my niceness so I'm hoping with my lack of patience now that I'll stand up for myself more and not let people use me.
