My journey has been different. My surgery was on the 14th and when they went in they found a hernia attached to my esophagus and fixed that also. When I woke up I was so filled with gas it was so painful. They put warm towels on me to release the gas . I was there for a extra day and a half because I couldn't hold Water. I started this journey at 278 and by surgery was 257 and now 246.6.

What r u eating. U should try Dr. Duc vuong on YouTube.he has been more help for me then my Dr. He suggest a green smoothie for Breakfast a big ass salad for lunch minus croutons and bacon bits and bad cheese and a sensible dinner cutting out most carbs and I live by that and it works well. If u need Snacks try a handful of almonds or a small piece of fruit give it a try for a week and see if it budges..save my name we can talk about it maybe u just need support.

Mines too them damn breast.lol but in the meantime I have been taking a collagen supplement in my smoothie. The doc. Says collagen has to be ingested to have any kind of real effect.

For me its my sister, unfortunately its the cost because her type of insurance wont cover any cost. She is so depressed and agitated because she has changed the way she eats and goes to gym 6 days a week. Im giving her all the encouragement i can to help her get thru her own journey. Im the best supportive sister i can be, she is my world and all i want is happiness for her!!😀

Day 1 was great! Didnt dump once which hasnt happened in months! I felt energized and good!

Is that enough Protein? Are there Beans in the salad or something? Can you put Protein Powder in green smoothies?

Dumping syndrome usually happens when taking in to much sugar, or more common with a bypass. Definitely try looking for a diffrent weight loss Dr and get another opinion, could be something else going on. I switched Dr's myself after 3 months of seeing my initial WLS, i much happier and have better support from my weight loss /family physician Dr. Goodluck to you😊

This.

70lbs is a lot in 3 months unless u we're really heavy like over 300

So I had my 3 month visit today and am officially down 70 lbs . My surgeon seemed kind of shocked. Did anyone else’s surgeon/nutritionist seem surprised by your weight loss?

Hey August sleevers!! We are at our 6 month milestone(give or take a few days)! This thread should be buzzing! I opted for the no weigh February until my 6 month surgiversery on the 14th (valentine's yay) then nothing until the end of the month. How is everyone doing? How do you feel at this point? How is life treating you? Have you reached goal? Are you close, halfway? It's crazy it's already been 6 months. I feel as if I'm still in preop doing the 6 month requirements. I know our journeys are our own and we should take pride in all our hard work. Let's share our successes and concerns and rejoice overall. We have come so far

Had my surgey for my 51st birthday and its been an interesting trip. Carbs were and still are my weakest point.
I find it easier to avoid them than to limit them so i work hard to keep cards very very low. if i have them i try to make sure the item also has Fiber this pretty much stops all simple carbs.
I will say if your large around the gut you might want to skip the crunch machine in the gym for a good long while. i pulled a stomach muscle 3rd day i added that dam machine to my workout and it cost me 3 weeks in the gym. I also limit all my eating to a 8 hr window (11-7). I am off 2 bp meds and my Metformin for 2 months now and no more cpap. I put my wedding ring on for the first time in more than 7 years and that was nice emotional victory. I only weigh on saturday mornings now and if i could give 1 piece of advice to anyone new it would be measure yourself. I wish i had those numbers now but i just couldnt make myself do it. the thought of seeing those numbers back then and writing them down was just beyond what i could accept. I regret it now beacuse i dont have a good reference point but i will buy new clothes in march before my 8 month follow up with the Doc.
I have cut 3 new holes in the belt and my wife says i look like **** in these cloths but i didnt want to waste money doing it 2-3 times so i just keep pulling that belt in and going on.
well i just looked back and realized i am rambling away here so thats enough of that.
hope everyone is doing well

Sets. I did 25 wanted to cry. Laid there for about a minute and then did 25 more. I only rested a few seconds in between the last three. Cuz I thought if i stopped i wouldn’t do another one!!

LaLaDee I did 100 sit ups this morning and thought I was gonna die!!
but I i didn’t

Me too! I can see weight loss in my face, chest and limbs but the old tummy isn’t going anywhere apparently! That’s a bad place to carry weight too. I wonder if we are stuck with muffin tops? Anyone game to do a 100 sit ups a day and test if that will work for me?

The tall boots are my wish! I’m tall and have big calves. They never fit me! I’m dying to buy a pair of fryes!

Ha! So glad! And for the record? You look super tiny in these piccys. LIke you may not need the reduction in your plastics thread. You should see how they "shake out" after a year. But you know, I had DDDs before the mast/recon. And it feels so forkin lovely not to have boob sweat, or the back ache, shoulder and neck pain from lush boobages...

Holy hell do both! Whoop Whoop Congratulations.

NSV: so i randomly went jean shopping and the size 4 actually fit, and really fit. I thought i was going to have to squeeze into them for dear life lol. I've been fat my whole life so this is new to me. The fact that i'm actually a small still blows my mind, but yet the scale still says im overweight smh. I'm still going to view this as a victory.

U should practically be 75% ok
