So woke up this morning and the weight seemed to melt away this week and for the first time in well over a decade i'm no longer OBESE wohooo BMI today 29.9 so to say im ecstatic doesn't even describe it well enough.
At this rate should reach by goal weight by summer assuming weight loss continues. Planning to start gymming end of march so far haven't done much apart form watch my diet and keep my step count up high.

Hey Everyone, Looks like were all doing great so far anyways. I just got told by the surgical team ive reached 58% loss of excess weight which has me totally psyched as im only 8 weeks down Nearly out of the obese category for BMI and ive dropped 6 pant sizes. This really has been best decision ive ever made so happy
Have a ways to go still but losing consistently every week so that keeps me motivated. Still struggling to find the right portion size no matter how small i go i feel like im always one mouthful over haha, One of these days ill make a plate of food that is just right

Made my first goal a week early so Im excited hope everyone is meeting there goals.

The vinegar can actually make that sore throat worse would advise against it for now and try reducing fat content from your food although by the sound of your meals its fairly low as it is... The bad taste u describe does sound very much like reflux and a sore throat would go hand in hand with it. Are you taking a proton pump inhibitor like lansoprazole?

I had been stallin too for last week or so and now over night ive lost nearly 3pounds ha bodies make no sense im happy though

Happy New Years everyone, been having a tough 2 week period have been stuck in my first stall for the last while. But today finally scales started to move again. Dropped two pants sizes though now i'm a 38" waist. Reaching my goal ever so slowly. As many of you have also said I wish this would go faster.
Had a tough time with Christmas at home and all the food around have been keeping this private so pretty much everyone thought I was being a weirdo and not eating my food. I guess this is the hard aspect when you can't eat the same as you did before but its my journey and I will achieve my goal that I set out to reach just like everyone else on this forum. Heres to 2019 and a year of reaching our goals.
Happy New Years to us all

I feel like that most mornings but i try do a 500ml (16oz) Fluid bolus as soon as i wake up and after about an hour i feel fine. Anytime i feel woozy or nauseous ive found its almost always because i was down on fluids or my body needed a bit more. Try it out and see it it helps you. If not then reassess check your diet make sure your getting in all your nutrients and Protein and when you feel up to it definitely exercise will speed up the recovery phase. Im three weeks out myself and thats what ive found helps me. Hope it helps you

So excited for everyone!! I had my sleeve surgery Dec 2017. I’m down 110 pounds. Just think about how you will look and feel this same time next year. 🤗🤗🤗

Happy Birthday batt_vsg

I got out of surgery at around 1pm. I was up and walking by 2:30. Other gas (in weird places) I feel pretty good. Put on a couple thousand steps after surgery, they say tomorrow should be much better. I am very happy so far. Sorry to you folks who are struggling.

I’m going in!
Just waiting for intake for my big day. I should be under soon.
See you on the other side.

I had to do mushy foods 1 week prior I’m 7 Months out 70 lbs wt loss

The very best of luck, let us know how you get on. We’re all routing for you.

Today is my first day home also after my surgery. I had complications . My heart and I’m so weak and short of breath. My pain is under control. Thank God .❤️🙏🏾

I am currently laying in a bed in Mexico awaiting surgery tomorrow. Pre-op diet hasn’t been all that fun, but I’m down 58 pounds in six weeks. Looking forward to the future of not being hungry all the time.

One nice thing about having a lot to lose is that a lot comes off pretty quickly. Three weeks into the pre-op diet and I’m down 32 pounds. I realize that percentage wise it’s not all that much but I’m going to go a head and take the “glass half full” approach.

they are NON scale Victories,the little things that make your weight loss pathway worthwhile even if you don't see pounds dropping right now!

Does the chewable Multivitamins count Few days more and you’ll be chewing again. I can honestly say I never want to see broth again....
That pre-op diet was hell, mainly due to the sugar and carb withdrawal feel so much better now. I’m just getting to chew again so I’m enjoying every second of it. My programs slightly diff from most I do the two week pre-op liquids then two weeks post op liquids then we go straight into soft food no need for purée then after four weeks back to normal diet as tolerated. I’m just over two weeks post op and trying my best to enjoy every minute of chewing

Wow! 4 days since surgery and I’ve lost 12.2 lbs I know eventually it will slow down but it feels stepping onto the scale and watching the numbers drop. Really helps fight through the pain.

Best of luck on continued success

I had my sleeve done on the 12th, and the procedure went by very quickly from what I was told. I stayed in the hospital for one night. Thank God for that because I was so, so sick - nauseous, vomiting blood, in major pain. The meds were not working for me (except for the pain meds). Zofran made me even sicker. It was not fun. I cried the entire night. I’m still trying to figure out how to drink/eat. It hurts to even take medicine and Vitamins right now.

I’m pushing through the exercise. If I feel lightheaded I just sit down for a bit and then get back to it.

I’m desperately hoping for a quick turnaround with this nausea so that I can get my fluids in. I’m trying to be kind and patient with myself but this recovery process is harder than expected.

Wishing everyone the best on this journey.
