I'm 5 months out and just use moderation. I go out with friends and just take what I don't eat home. I occasionally drink a cocktail. I still wait 30 minutes between eating and drinking. When eating with family I focus on Protein. I just try to do my best to make the best choices but don't beat myself up to bad for having a social life

Thanks everyone! I appreciate everyone's insight. I figured it might have been hormone related but just wasn't sure. Hopefully this ends soon [emoji854]

Did you throw out your big clothes as motivation to never return to your pre-weight, or did you keep your old clothes 'in case' you regained your weight?
I am tempted to throw away my clothes as I (hopefully) lose weight post-procedure but I am worried I'll need them again in the future.
What are your thoughts?!

Donating it all. Seem of the new stuff I sell on Poshmark. I'll never ever need those clothes again

Hello,

Before I begin if you are male you can exit the post.

Soooooo ladies I was sleeved 12/16 I began taking low birth control about a month before. Periods have been pretty normal until this month. I've literally been on my cycle for about a month now and my OBGYN doesn't seem concerned saying it's the birth control regulating......what from 5 months ago?!?!? So my aunt brought up that it could be the surgery so has anyone experienced anything like this before???? I'm just a little nervous because I've never experienced this before? sorry this is tmi but someone give me some online insight.... I've been to the Dr already

OMG! I so needed to read this thread bc I gained 11lbs in the hospital and been discouraged every since!

Yes just keep at it. Follow your program and ignore that darn scale. I barely get on the scale nowadays. I just measure inches and compare myself in clothes. I was in a 4x before surgery I'm in a 2x and some 1x.

Also took a trip and no longer need a extender for the seat belt. Those victories alone let me know I'm moving in the right direction.

I know it’s been a while since you checked in, but how are you doing? Any progress?

Hey! So I'm still hanging in there. Weight loss is still very slow. I'm down 42lbs it's a daily war seems like but I figure some progress is better than none.

It has been a week since my surgery and i still haven’t pooped. I feel like I have to, but nothing comes out. How long did it take y’all before you had your first poop?

I pooped by day 4 they sent me home with miralax.

Sometimes in a "stall" the scale won't move but you're losing inches. You might want to take your measurements and measure weekly for a while to see if anything changes.

I agree because I feel smaller and can tell in clothes. I am terrible about remembering to measure myself.

I appreciate all of the responses. It's so nice to have good folks to snap me back into reality. I'm going to stop obsessing over that scale and focus on my new lifestyle. It's easier said than done but no more scale obsession.

Hello all,

I'm about 60 days post op. I lost 11 lbs liquid diet and 20lbs since surgery. I am feeling down because everyone around me seems to be dropping weight but me. I do the treadmill at Planet Fitness. I'm following the after surgery phases to the letter. I get 80 to 90 Oz of Water a day. I've lost nothing in over 7days in fact according to the scale I've gained a lb or two. I feel my baratric team is not giving me clear guidelines. I asked nutrition how many calories per day her response is don't count calories. Huh?!?!? My nutrition team keeps saying the scale is not a true indicator for weight loss but shouldn't it move some.....

I just feel down today about it. Someone help me out I don't wanna fail.

Hey everyone just checking in. So today is exactly a month since surgery..... I've lost 9lbs.....scale hardly moves I've been at 291 for a week now. I went to see my surgeon about a week ago and she seems pleased. I can tell in my face and arms I've lost weight but the scale is just not moving at all. I'm trying to keep the faith but it's hard when I read people lost 15 lbs a month after surgery and I'm not even at 10lbs. [emoji37]

Okay. Thank you both. Let me just focus on my plan. I appreciate the advice for the 1st time yesterday I got all my Fluid and Protein in like I was supposed to and I felt so much better physically.

Hello,

I had sleeve on 12/16 and my weight has not moved much and today I noticed it's back up 3lbs. I lost 13lbs on pre op but nothing after surgery. Is this normal? I'm feeling discouraged. I've been on full liquids. I get my Protein in the form of shakes and yogurt. It's hard to get fluids in but I am doing that too. Any advice or help?
