Hey there. I'm on the west side. My surgery was 6 mos ago and I'm down 25lbs. Not the best record [emoji19]. You?

I'm new to the San Antonio area and looking for a wls meet up. I'm falling off the wagon.

lol I'm so new I don't even know where that is. I'm desperate for a workout buddy or someone that understands the struggle.

Is there a San Antonio group? I'd really like to get together with like minds lol.

I'm new here but the west side. You?

San Antonio, TX

I'm looking for a San Antonio wls buddy. I'm afraid I'm falling off the wagon. It's been 5 months since surgery.

Great job!! It feels hella good to finally fit better into trendy clothes. Keep it up.

@amandaaok I lost exactly only 6lbs my first month too! I started out w a bmi of 38 and also started out weighing relatively less @ 212 on surgery day but if you ask me, you're doing well. I'm 7 weeks post op and I'm now loosing a little bit more weight overall. I still average about 2 lbs although I've miraculously lost almost 7lbs this week alone. I don't have any advice on what you need to do because honestly I don't track my macros religiously. I've just been listening to my body and trying to keep up w my surgeon's advice. Like you, I had no comorbidities and was a relatively healthy eater too. I'm not sure if there's a correlation there but I've been exactly where you are. I guess it might be a good idea to go over your numbers again w your doc and nut but not to worry, the weight should eventually come off. Best of luck.

Woot woot!!! Check you out Ms. Hotness!!! Great job!!!

I agree with Berry and Punkylynn. I only lost 6 lbs by the end of a month after my surgery. I probably like you didn't start off too heavy so we're gonna loose a lil slower than most. Your surgery is not a joke, you're actually doing rather well and will continue to do well if you do all that is required of you. I keep waiting to pull out that sz 8 jeans I have in the closet but I know it will not be till next year. Summer maybe. Keep up the good work. You're right on track.

I initially expected to lose a lot of weight too. I'm 5'2" and was 212 the day of surgery. 4 weeks later I had only lost 6lbs and now at six weeks post op I'm around 197 for a total of 15lbs lost. I average about 2lbs a week (a few fluctuations here and there) and my doctor says I'm doing great. I had moments of discouraging thoughts but I feel amazing and hopeful that the slow weight loss will equal better weight maintenance and no loose skin. Take heart ladies, it seems like you're well on track for weekly percentage of weight loss. I wish you all the very best.

That's amazing!!!

It IS real!!! I'm currently laying in bed with full knowledge that I have no room for another bite but am still oddly 'hungry'. I've just told myself that the devil like my hunger is a liar and I will not pass anything through my lips that isn't water. To me it's beginning to feel like the period pre surgery when I gained the most weight because I very often gave in to head hunger. It's a battle and it's on!

I'm 5 weeks post op and still regularly face constipation. For the foreseeable future I'll continue my daily Miralax routine. I say daily because skipping it and trying to go is tantamount to me looking to pop a blood vessel which unfortunately has happened a few times. I used to pride myself on how regular and easy my BMs were, now I commiserate with those that celebrate a weekly poop lol. Oh, lots of water daily for easy passage [emoji12]
