So what are some of the things you are Not going to miss being overweight? I’ll start, when going to amusement parks before getting on rides seeing if there was anyone bigger than me first lol

Thank you! I know the weight will drop and I need to have patience. Thank you for sharing!

Wow that’s amazing! This gives me hope I just won’t step on the scale for a while.

Yes I had a small GIST tumor removed when I had my bypass done.

Thanks for sharing this! In my head I figured the first 3 months were an indicator of how the rest of the process is going to go. Minus my preop weight loss, I've lost 18 lbs so far, a month and a half in... BUT it does look like I might have broke my second stall (YAY), down again this morning.

No that is not bizarre to all! It’s just like having to tie my shoes and by the time I’m done I’m breathing like I ran a 5 mile marathon! Lmao!

So unfortunately I did check my weight and I only lost 1lb since my post op appointment last week and I am extremely annoyed. Like in another week I’ll be 4 weeks out and I only lost 14 lbs after surgery so far. I am trying my best with Protein and Water goals and I am following the plan, not to mention I move a lot and my bms are normal so I’m not understanding what the issue is. Trying to not get discouraged I know this is normal but still it’s a little disheartening but I know it will get better.

So glad you went to the hospital and they figured out what was wrong and I am so sorry you are having to deal with this alone. Please know we are all here for you and you are definitely in my prayers. I am sending lots of hugs and love and I know you will get through this. Please keep us posted.

Are cream of Soups, the 98% fat free kind, are these ok to eat while on the pre-op diet? They seem to have a lot of carbs and sodium but I know people use those are their staple. I bought a few yesterday and I had a cream of chicken and it was really good. So now I’m worried that maybe I shouldn’t have them? Please help! This also goes for the Sugar Free Chocolate and vanilla puddings, are these ok?

My surgery went really well, how is everyone who had surgery feeling?

Beautiful!

You look amazing!!

You look totally amazing! How much have you lost and in what time period?

Hey all you beautifully people! I have my surgery scheduled for March 17th and I am kinda nervous now lol idk why this is what I wanted so badly now I keep thinking about everything that can go wrong. I would love to see before and after pics to help me calm my anxiety!

I don’t even check my weight at home. The first time I stepped on the scale was Tuesday at my post op appointment and to my delight I lost 13 lbs since my surgery two weeks ago. I can’t believe I lost 13 lbs in two weeks! My next appointment is April 6th I will see how much I lost ( if I lost) at that point. Idk why everyone is so quick to step on the scale, you had wls so you will lose the weight. Be patient! Lol. Take pics along the way, that’s what I do and I can already see the difference.

I got approved and my official surgery date is March 17th. Anyone else for March?

I am so 12 days post op and the head hunger has mostly subsided. I am feeling so much better, barely any pain, and I am able to do more around the house. I still have to take it easy because one day hubby and I went to 2 stores and by the time we got home I was beat and slept for the rest of the day. Now hubby has had me in the house for the last two days and monitors me lol he really think he is my doctor but he has been extremely supportive could not ask for better. Also, I don’t know if it’s the Vitamins and Calcium or maybe it’s just in my head but my skin is glowing, my teeth looks more whiter, my hair has gotten thicker it’s amazing! Does anyone else see these changes or any other good changes besides weight loss?

lol yes they are what get me through. I’ve lost a total of 11 lbs since surgery and almost 30 lbs since I started my preop diet so it’s definitely working.

I have my post op appointment on Tuesday. I am hoping i am able to transition to purée food!

I’m a week out post op and even though I haven’t felt hunger I want to chew something and it’s killing me!! This is so much harder than I thought I just want to chew. I’m not going to do anything stupid but just venting helps.

Good morning everyone. About to head to the hospital for my pre-admin testing. Just want it to be done and over with I hate getting my blood drawn ugh! Wish me luck!
