Had to buy new pants this weekend. Was amazed to be down 4 pant sizes! So happy with my decision to have this surgery!!

II am 2.5 months post OP and I have lost 44 lbs! I am half-way to my goal and I can't believe how much this is changing my life. I actually feel cute and think about shopping... I feel like my food addiction might just be replaced by a retail one. lol. I have never felt so hopeful about a new year! Cheers "losers"! Loosing has never felt so good!

Went for my 1 month post surgery visit down a total of 20lbs that includes a stall of almost 2 weeks of not losing a pound, at first I was hungry, but for the last week I have been nauseous and getting very little of anything in. Maybe 32oz of fluids about 30-40grams of Protein. And only time I go (BM) is when have a dumping effect but not putting much in. I have absolutely no appetite so putting something in my mouth is a real struggle, My Doctor told me to go back to 2 Protein Shakes day to get at least 60g and increase my calories to 1000-1100 a day Now that’s the first I’ve been told to eat more. Is anyone else having a struggle with the thought of eating making the nauseated?

I’m relieved to hear that I’m not the only one going through a frustrating stall so soon after surgery. I’ve been a little hard on myself because the scale hasn’t moved in 10+ days. My pcp took me off my thyroid medicine and I swear that has a big part in it because I’ve been feeling sluggish and a bit depressed. I wasn’t ready to be off my thyroid med yet, and it makes me angry. My numbers were low normal (just like when I was started on on my med). I get to have my thyroid levels retested on December 24th. So fingers crossed for good news

Had mines on 10/25, it is hard to get liquids in and Protein Shakes now its the worst, but getting better with it. I stalled as well for last 5 days and even gained, well I amp up my Water intake yesterday, got in at least 60-70g of Protein and stepped on scale this morning lost 3 lbs 1 pound more then gain I was relieved because I haven’t eaten much, if you are dehydrated like I was you will not lose weight, you will only retain Fluid. So hang in there we got this!

I just had my “6 days post op” check up! 16lbs down; no issues. I have no regrets about this surgery! 😁 I came by to say, Pre-oppers, you can do this!!

I have my surgery the 25 I am getting excited

Hi All - I made it! I felt really prepared based on all of you having shared your experiences.

I was super emotional in the hour or two before my surgery yesterday, I was terrified, but climbed up on the table and got it done!!

I’ve been sleeping lots and pain is well controlled... very little incision pain, just gas pain mostly in my back.Still on Clear Liquids and I never knew diluted apple juice could taste so good. haha.

Tips that I picked up here that served me well included bringing the following things...
Heating pad ( has been so good on my sore back)
Chap stick
Extension cord
Phone and charger
Slippers

Off to sleep some more - it still feels kind of surreal that I actually had the guts to do this 🙃
