I will be one year on the 27th of April, I am down 115 pounds from my surgery date.

I'm at 11.5 months since surgery and I am 130 pounds lighter. I have been at a plateau for the last 3 months but I'm very happy at my current weight of 240 at 6 foot 3 inches!

2wks post OP 21lbs lost vbg to rny revision

im just about 8 months out and have lost 135 lbs

I'm 2 years out and 130 pounds down.

3 months post sleeve and 61lbs down. Started at 290lbs. Can’t help wishing it was more but realistically, it’s brilliant 😊

I’m nearly 5 months out from bypass and down 47 lbs. Haven’t been this weight in 20 years. Delighted!!

I'm at 2 months out and only down 25 lbs. Surgery day-207. Today 182. I had a stall that began my second week for 12 days. Rather disappointed overall.

I am 3 ½ months out and have lost 60 pounds. I arrived at Onederland this past Friday at 198. I have not seen the 100's in over 20 years! My next milestone is to achieve another loss of 68 pounds to settle around 130ish. I'm only a petite 5'0" frame, and prefer not to look "just chubby". Very thankful I'm no longer morbidly obese, and continue to strive toward normalcy to the fit and trim range. Looking forward to a much different and better end of 2019 holiday season. I love my new sleeve and the endless possibilities...
Any other height challenged individuals out there? What is your ideal weight goal?
Congratulations to all for your weigh downs and continued best wishes. Happy spring!

And... I weighed in at 70 pounds down since I started this journey at my 9-month apt. Everything is going really well! I hope you all are feeling good, doing well, and having a good summer!

Hi everyone! I was converted from lapband to gastric sleeve on 10/1/2018. I have lost 67 lbs going from 227 to 160. My goal is 155! After lots of consideration and advice from doctors I went again and got a full Tummy Tuck and breast lift on Wednesday! I am sooooooooo thrilled, I never though I would be here in my life. Everyone keep up the great work!

Feeling happy.
Almost a year since surgery.
Down a little over 100 lbs.
I like being skinny.
I look pretty.

heck i really did not follow the pre opt diet except for one day before surgery lol..

I am trying to push thorough hoping some broth will help

The pre-op diet is rough, no denying it. You really need to power through and focus on the long-term goals. Even if you struggle with the liquids, try to pack them down. It helps to calm your hunger. Also, try chewing on sf popsicles or frozen Protein Drinks. They (at least) make you feel like you're eating. Good luck!

I never even had a clear liquid phase. It was liquids from Day 2. Day 1 (surgery day) was nothing. Day 2, next day was Water & apple juice. I don't think I wanted anything other than that. By day 3 I was on Protein Shakes.

Awake from surgery. Yeah, sore from gas pains and God knows what else. Went as expected.

I was told that an itchy sensation was normal, and I've got the feeling with 2 out of my 3 incisions. It's not driving me crazy, but I do have to stop myself from scratching mindlessly.

I'm in Mexico, so I get 2 nights in the clinic and one in a nearby hotel. I don't mind the extra 24 hours on IV goodies, lol. I fly home Friday night. I only have 3 incisions, which I'll photograph for the doc before taking out myself in a week or so. I've been doing great except for a bad headache from being off my antidepressants for 36 hours.

Is it bright red blood? Your stools are probably pretty hard if you are going only every 4 days. The hardness and straining may have popped a hemorrhoid, which can really bleed a lot. Hemorrhoid blood is red, because it is close to the outside opening. Dark or black colored blood would be a very worrisome sign because it means it is further up - maybe damage to the surgical site. At any rate, you need to get it checked out.

Oh see? Look at you gettin' all sciency with those big terms! LOL.

Nooooo!!! Really stop for a minute and realize what you are saying!! The surgery is AWESOME! It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing--providing negative feedback impetus for changing your relationship/behavior with food. Aversion therapy. Give yourself a hug and thank your tool for making you miserable and giving you a teaching moment!!! Isn't it amazing that only 1 mini quesadilla from TacoHell gave you a horrible ride on the pain train? Congrats! 🍾

Yay! I can't wait for that honestly!
