Great job! My VSG surgery is this upcoming Monday, April 17th, I am so excited and nervous at the same time!

Been an interesting ride thus far.. no complaints from me just trying to feel the difference I am slowly starting to see.. am blessed and thankful. Down 50 pounds since my pre op diet

I am almost 2 months post op and Since my pre op diet to now I have lost 48.1 pounds... have went down from 24/26 to 18/20 pants and shirts 3x-4x to 2x. My problem I still feel as big as I did when I started.. even tho I see some difference like fitting in chairs I still feel really big.... does anyone else feel this way?

I completely understand I'm 7 months out I'm down a little over 100lbs I started at 276 and I'm now 168. But when I look in the mirror I still see that almost 300lb women. Hopefully it will get better for us

Great job

I am 4 months out op & it's just no what I notice how different I look!! Especially when I try on clothes! I went from a size 20 pant to a 12/med! Shirts from XXXL to med! Keep up the great work you are doing!
I have been going to gym (Planet Fitness has fabulous deal $10 month with no commitment). I use personal trainner there once a week which is really helping. In the past I. Hated the gym but now look forward to it.
Keep moving!

Yes I get it all the time people tell me I don't look like myself when they see me. But when I look in the mirror I still see the hanging gut I still have man boobs the one thing I really notice a difference is my man parts seem to longer.

Give it time. It took us some time to build up all this weight and it will take a bit of time to get rid of it even with the sleeve/bypass. You're doing great! You're down 3 dress sizes in 2 months!! OMG! When else in your life have you achieved that?!? You're not super slim yet but you are undoubtedly getting there. You need some cheerleaders in your life to help you acknowledge your progress and keep you focused on the goal. You're doing great! Stay the course!

Congratulations... good luck

Your doing great. I will be 6 week post op and only lost 23 pounds.. just remember everyone is different in loosing weight.. don't go off the should of, could of's and just keep going forward.. you got said his good luck.

my name is Katie and I am almost 2 months post op. I try to take selfies after surgery and there are days that I just don't feel like I'm making progress. I had ryn December 20th and for me this has been the best decision even though I have had some issues with food I still wouldn't change my it.

Hey, you should be proud of what you have done no matter how! Take ONLY out of your comment. Every llb down should be celebrated

Congrats!!

You're kind of lucky. Altogether I had 6 weeks of Clear Liquids. I know Puree is a bit boring but it beats drinking nasty shakes all day everyday for over a month.

Wow what a journey. 3/13/17 I will be 1 month post op with my bypass. Been on purée diet since day 3. I haven't been able to handle anything but yogurt, Popsicle, pudding, coffee and tea up until 3 days ago and now I am able to do cream of wheat and soups.. 2 more weeks of purée and then off to soft foods.. I have absolutely no regrets. I have lost 40 pounds since pre op diet..

The way my dr does it. 6 weeks purée, 3 weeks soft foods then slowly transition to solids..

I totally understand I have been on purée for 5 weeks now. I can't eat eggs either no matter how they are cooked. I rely on Soups and my Protein mix in teas and no sugar added cocoa.. I am so ready to eat food.. good luck..

I have the same problem so I started drinking almost hot Decaf herbal tea. Really helped me!

Try room temp and flavored water. At first i was the same and thats all i vould handle my surgeon said it is esophagus spasms, they put me on a liquid med and worked like magic. I was only on it 1 week and it went away

Congratulations.

Sounds like you are doing well! Keep up the good work and keep listening to your body. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint, and don't waste a single day. Enjoy your new life!!!
