No it officially starts on Thursday to give people time to sign up and such 😊 I have some personal friends in my group, so all I ask is that you don’t bring up WLS within the group because im being private about it and they don’t know I’ve had it 😊

I know plenty of people who have had WLS who participate in these, and again, I didn’t post this to cause a debate with the internet police. Only to encourage others to do what we’re all here trying to do in a fun way! If you don’t want to participate, that’s great, you don’t need to be in this thread then. Have a good evening 😊

Ok. Count me in too. I will sign up later today.
Have the other 4 already started on the 28 day diet? Or are you waiting for more people to join?
I get that the rules mean that a person can’t have bariatric surgery at any time within the 28 days. They are not saying that a person doesn’t qualify if they have the surgery before or after. I hope that more people will join. This may help me to get motivated to get some more weight off.

Right now there’s 4 of us but I think I’m expecting a couple more 😊

Does anyone have any advice about keeping their journey a secret? The only people I’ve told about my WLS journey are my closest friends and family. Im only 2 weeks post op but I’m already nervous about what to tell people when they start asking how I’m losing so much weight. I have a bachelorette party in August where I’m sure they’ll be asking why I’m not drinking/eating nearly as much, and I’m in a wedding In September where I’ll be seeing people I haven’t seen in nearly a year so I know there will be questions. What are your experiences with this and do you have any advice for me?

Also, before anyone comments asking why I’m ashamed or embarrassed, I’m not. This is a personal journey for me and there are some things in my life I just like to keep that way.

It’s a mixed pot, and there isn’t even a winner...no one will be receiving more money than anyone else. Everyone who loses the 4% splits the pot. So it isn’t unfair

Yeah I just couldn’t eat dinner the night before my surgery. That was all

That’s only if you’ve just really recently had WLS and are still losing rapidly. I double checked (:

I’ve created a diet bet and I’m hoping some of you will join with me!

Diet bet is an app where you can make money to lose weight! I’m hoping to get a big group together to join my bet! You pay 35 dollars toward the pot to enter the game, and then you have 28 days to lose 4% of your body weight (totally doable!!!!) At the end, everyone who loses the 4% of their body weight gets to split the pot!!!! This could be fun for everyone, pre op or post op!

I’ve attached some more info! A great way to make friends and hold one another accountable! Please message me if you have questions.

And here is the link to sign up!

Yes, you will. I'm 30 days out and had the same trouble as you. I started to feel less pain and nausea just recently. Hang in there it gets better!

I’m almost 2 weeks post op and had a serious craving for something sweet....put some light cool whip in the freezer....put a tiny bit of caramel sauce on it and I’m in HEAVEN!!! Better than ice cream 🙏😱

Hi! I am exactly one week post op, and I have kind of a silly sounding question. When I eat or drink anything, I don’t really get a feeling a fullness like I did before surgery. My surgeon said to stop eating at the first sign of fullness, but I don’t know what that sign is in my new body! Obviously I’m still taking things slow and being mindful, but does anyone have any helpful indicators to help me tell when my stomach says no more?? And does anyone else struggle with this??

Thank you!

I just want to brag a little bit....

Today marks 6 days post op and today has been my BEST day yet!!! I finally feel normal again! I put makeup on, left my house for awhile and felt great!! Decided to weigh myself for the first time and I’m down 14 pounds in 6 days! Wahoo!!! I’ll admit, I was in a slump for a couple of days post op feeling a bunch of negative emotions. Today I’m feeling great! Not to mention, it’s the first day post op that I haven’t had to take anything for pain or nausea!!!

Ps....I’m choosing to remain private about my journey with WLS...only telling close family and close friends and I’m so glad I have you guys to relate to!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I miss chewing too!!! And different flavors 😂

It’s only been 4 days but I’m seeing these shakes in my nightmares 😂

You might try doing your Protein Shakes at half- strength, thin it with skim or 1% milk, check out Protein waters also, don't worry if you can only do 1-2 oz at a time, I'm 6 months out and I am still doing it, I confess I got a couple small glass, well I always called them shot glasses, from houseware dept of Wal-Mart, and that is what I use, I do one of them every 15 minutes, have varied low or no calorie drinks in fridge, and I am making my 64 oz easy and many days I make 84 okay. My pouch does not like it too much but we are doing 2 oz of protein, chewed well or pureed, and sometimes I do veggies that way. Why am I so slow with my diet? I have had ulcerations in my jejunem, a stricture in my pouch, I turned out to be one of those rare and complicated RnYers, but I am doing better, still not sorry for my surgery, had to fight uphill battle to get it, you see I am now 73, many programs would shown me the door, I will always be grateful for the chance at a future it gave me! I just get peeved at my body for making things slow but I too will have a victory!
The gurgly I never had, just keep drinking in slow, give your body a chance to let it slide down easy, and we're all a little different, but we are still wonderfully made inside. Post anytime you feel like it, no question is too small, we all want to help on here!😝🍀😝
