Someone posted this recently and it made me feel a lot better about my 33lb weight loss ( I am 9 weeks out)

I have lost 22 lbs and I am 7 weeks post op tomorrow. My weight at surgery was 213 lbs and I am 5'5. I feel as if the weight loss is going so slow now but I keep my hopes up because I have read many people from here eventually lose slowly but steadily and reach their goal weight. Dont lose hope cause I haven't!

That's good to hear. It helps knowing what people with similar starting points are experiencing. It sounds like you have a great outlook! Keep up the good work!

I'm 7 months out. I eat 1200 calories per day. I typically eat six little meals. Am almost to goal, will need to increase calories soon.
I'm not a Protein nut. I get 60g a day, but half come from healthy carbs and are plant based.
My diet is unrefined. Lot of fruit, veggies, whole grains, and very lean meat. Beans, peas, lentils, seeds. Homemade wheat bread and bowls of homemade veggie/bean Soup are favorites.
And once in a while, I eat junk. But never more than 75 calories per day worth. Nothing is off the table...so I don't feel deprived ever...I've just learned to make better choices about my junk consumption.

7 months out--I don't snack. I was told not to by my program and I think it actually helps. I don't want to be thinking about food that much
I eat either egg whites or have a Protein Shake for Breakfast. 2-3 oz deli meat and a slice of thin sargento cheese for lunch, or fish with vegetables, or a chicken dish... it varies, but always Protein focused. dinner is a variation of the same. Sometimes I do still miss my Water intake goal of 64oz, but that's a work in progress.

I'm 5 months out. I'm at the low end of the calorie scale. I have a lot of restriction, and not a lot of physical hunger.
I usually have shake in the morning, and 3 or so meals/snacks. As I said I have a lot of restriction, so a meal/snack is 1 oz of cheese or Jerky, 1/2 to1 cup of Soup, cucumbers with dip, laughing cow cheese w 34 degree crackers, coleslaw w light dressing, dehydrated cheese crackers, sandwich w 1/2 a slice of bread, 1 slice of turkey, mustard, ff mayo and lettuce, Protein Pasta w a 1/2 a turkey meatball and marinara sauce (2 oz by wt), greek yogurt, sf Jello w greek yogurt, slice of watermelon 1/3 a chicken or Mahi burger patty only (TJ's), quesadilla w a 1/2 a low carb tortilla, 1/2 oz cheese and salsa. So basically a shake, and mix and match from the other items I listed.

Hello,
I eat 3 meals a day and either 2 cups of milk or a half to a whole premier shake. Just depends if I feel like drinking milk or shake that day. It's been hard for me to get up to all my Protein. I'm actually 6 weeks out and finally getting into the groove now. If I am short I will eat a light string cheese which is 6 grams. Good luck to you too.

Lol ok this is a little too extreme!

Hey guys take a look on a before and after face selfie. To be honest I did not notice the difference until a friend point it out.

Several individuals that undergo bariatric surgery experience a type of low blood sugar after the surgery. It is known as reactive hypoglycemia. This is independent of whether you were diabetic prior to surgery. Here are a couple links to the condition:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/reactive-hypoglycemia/faq-20057778

I will be a year out the end of September. I am not diabetic either. I had a little spell with my sugar about 3 weeks out then nothing. All of a sudden the last like 4 months I have been battling with it dropping.i went to the doctors a couple weeks ago and they made me do a three hour glucose test. My fasting glucose was 70 my one hour was 69 my hour 2 was somewhere below 30 and my hour three was still only 55. So now I go to a specialist the 25th to find out why it is going so low. My doctor told me that sometimes with this sugery it's a shock to the system so the pancreas could be having trouble regulating things. She also said there is a list of things that could cause it to go low like that so that's why I have to see the specialist to rule out what it is.

I had my surgery in Tijuana on June 2. Everything went great! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Now I'm on mushy food and losing like a pound a day.

I'm 7 days post op and some Protein Shakes make my stomach hurt while others dont. What you are going through is normal. Just stop eating those things for awhile.

Yes! I'm doing like 1/4 broth 1/4 juice and Water Gatorade and coconut water but not a lot... trying to do at least 32 ounces a day!

No not at all! They keep you pretty comfortable with IV pain meds... just start walking as soon as you can and you will feel much better! I felt no pain after the third day. The first two days it's just soreness.

You guys will do great! I had my surgery 5 days ago and I've already lost 7 lbs!! I weighed 213lbs as the hospital. I'm still on Clear Liquids and tomorrow I start full liquids!

I am on my way to Mexico now to get sleeved tomorrow! Super excited!

I didnt have nausea or pain on the first or second day but today is the 3rd day and after a few sips of water... I had to throw up.

But they just gave me more anti-nausea meds and I feel better. The key is to drink SLOW!
