Congratulations and happy almost surgery day!!! I’m 5”11 and started at 364.9lbs

Thanks so much! I needed to hear this!! I’m super strict about sticking. I just get nervous and start second guessing things but there’s no reason too. The overthinking mind is an awful place sometimes

That’s awful! I’m so sorry!! Your mom seems to have issues that run deep and needs therapy! I’m positive this has nothing to do with you.

Happy 3 month post op to all October surgeries!!! How is everyone doing? Hi’s/lo’s?? I’m down 73lbs so far . My focus has been protein and cardio. Hi’s? Under 300lbs I feel a huge difference in clothes. Lo’s? I thought I’d be happier with my progress. I’m still nervous every day of failure.

Hi! I’m a little late to the party but I’m 39, will be 40 July. I had surgery on 10/16 and I’m down 73lbs. My focus is protein and cardio!!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!

I’m 8 weeks post op and down 60lbs . I’ve been walking since before surgery but I want to start lifting. I mentioned it to my surgeon and he was hesitant with the green light. I feel fine. Just thought id ask and see what your surgeon may have recommended. thanks so much!

No complications to report here either. I am 6 weeks out and lost 50.9lbs!

That sounds good. I’m going to try it thanks! Tried the refried bean with bone broth today and it was really good.

This helped a lot! Thank you!!

Congratulations!!!!

Hi guys:) Was just wondering what your purée schedules are. I’m afraid I’m not going to get enough of what I need. I was able to eat a tablespoon of puréed egg this morning and then I was full. Curious to see everyone else’s schedule thanks in advance!

I had my follow up Monday. I’m two weeks posts op Today and they told me to start purée today. Gosh I was nervous. I made a 1 egg omelette and put a small amount of cheese in it. I mixed it in the bullet and I was able to eat a tablespoon so far and will try a little more later.

Both great ideas! Thank you!

My surgeon told me once I’m two weeks post op to just put a little Vaseline on the incision sites and it will slowly soften the glue.

Thank you so so much! I needed to hear this today! Congratulations on all your success!!

AZhiker, thank you so much! I’m going to try some tomorrow!

Thanks so much! What kind of refried beans do you recommend? Canned? I’ve never tried them before

I’ll be two weeks post op tomorrow. Leary about trying puréed as I have yet to have success with get my fluids in. I’m just full and terrified to dump. what’s your favorite puréed food? All recommendations welcomed thanks so much

I just had it done on10/16. Recovery was a little rough but manageable. I’m two weeks out and struggling to get my fluids in.

Good Luck! I just had my sleeve converted to a bypass! I’m two weeks post op!

Congratulations on the success of your sleeve! I too, did this for my children! haha that’s funny you say that because the first thing I said was when I have surgery your getting fixed! He was a 100% on board!

Hi:) I had the gastric sleeve is 2012. Great success! I went from 353 to 167. Maintained weight till 2015 when we lost our baby boy. Four months after lose I became pregnant. Our rainbow was born 2016. A week after her turned one, I found out we were expecting again. Brings me to 2019 I have three beautiful kids and I weigh 363lbs On 10/16/19 I had my sleeve converted to gastric bypass. Recovery is definitely rougher than the sleeve but hanging in there. From my pre-op diet and the first two weeks postop I now weigh 334. was just reaching out to see if anyone could share their success stories as I so badly want to be healthy again and lose all this excess weight. thanks so much
