I turned 5 months post op September 14th. I lost 81 pounds so far and 3 pounds away from my goal weight but wouldn't mind losing more or maintaining my weight. No regrets from surgery I do suffer from minor complications like with occasional severe heartburn. Also the foamies from slightly overeating or drinking too quickly after lunch which leaves me with severe nausea and my mouth salvating for hours until my food digest. But overall im very happy I had the surgery

Hello everyone. I'll be 4 months post op on the 14th.. lost 71 pounds so far and about 15 pounds from my goal weight. Right now just working on toning my body because im noticing loose skin in certain areas. As well as trying to eat more to maintain my weight. The only issues I notice so far is a lot more painful heartburn that almost sent me to the ER and the occasional Constipation but besides that everything is going well. Happy to see how everyone's progress is going.

Hi there,

It sounds like you are doing pretty good and Water is very key to success, I agree. I know what you mean about frumpy clothes. I had a lot of choices but most look dated for today. I will buy new only for a special event and it seems that I don't mind showing a little more skin, too, lol.

I just have to tell everyone about my latest breakthrough. I FINALLY entered ONEDERLAND!!!! I'm now 198.1 I am so happy this stall is over after 26 days! I hovered around 200-202 for the longest time. So don't give up peeps! Getting into the soft foods phase can be challenging but be patient. I can honestly report that upping my intake of water helped a lot and going back to Reformer Pilates classes was a tremendous release of stressing about the stall and challenged my muscles more than ever. Sweating like a pig to do the exercises but having fun. I highly recommend Pilates. it seems to help with the saggy skin issue as well.

I eat 4-5 small meals a day surprisingly, but I know my present problems are my eyes being too big for my stomach and I waste a lot of food. I aim to get that under control. I have even thought about trying a vegetarian prepared food service. I rarely drink Protein Shakes anymore. I have a lot of powder left over. Oh well, as long as my days are filled with water, Protein, fruit, veggies and some dairy, I will continue to keep doing what I'm doing.

Take care everyone

Trish

Congratulations on making it to onederland its such a nice feeling 😊

Im doing well im in onderland now so very happy about that. Im 10.5 weeks post op and lost 53 pounds so far. I still can only eat a few bites at one sitting but no regrets so far. My only problem is with my smaller size I can't stop clothes shopping, its so fun lol but i hope everyone else is doing well as well.

I had surgery almost 4 weeks ago and my weight loss is pretty slow too. Its very discouraging but I just try to remind myself that my weight isnt going to come off overnight. My weight plateaud for a little over week before I finally dropped a pound so I completely understand how you feel

Hello, how did your surgery go? I had mine the 21st also

Hello my surgery date was actually changed to April 14th so a week earlier but everything went great. Shocked at how fast im healing and no complications so far thankfully. How about you?

I had pain the day of surgery and the day after and needed the prescription pain meds but once i got home for surgery, I didnt need any medication

I went through the whole process 2 years ago to get the gastric sleeve and literally backed out 2 weeks before my surgery date because I was nervous of the unknown and i also thought i could continue loosing weight by myself because I already lost a lot in the process of trying to get surgery. Eventually i started gaining and had a hard time getting control of my weight so this year I decided to go through the process again and wanted to back out again but went through with it and I've had no regrets since. Its definitely not easy but knowing i have this tool it'll be easier for me to control my weight and stay at a healthy weight and plus I already lost 25 pounds in 2 weeks so that makes me feel great too. You got this!!!

Same my mouth is so dry but i know if i take one more sip i will vomit. Really frustrating.

I had my surgery 4/14 too. I was nauseous at the hospital and when i got home only vomited once due to taking zofran but i feel fine since then. I just try to sip Water all day and had some chicken broth as well. Transitioning into the new phases very slowly. Good luck we're finally sleeved
