I am around 10 months out but need to loose 20/30 more and can’t!

Great choice , everyone always told me I was not fat enough for WLS ! I did it 6 months ago I’ve lost 70 lbs and have 30 more to go, I just had someone ask me that only need to loose 40 lbs. or so she is waiting for approval! I’ve had so much invested in weight loss programs O should own stock in them! Lol best choice aI ever made was getting the sleeve done!

I believe you are making a great choice , are you talking the sleeve? You don’t have to have a high bmi to do this , I wish I’d done it when my bmi was lower , I’d be at goal and stay at goal. I will get there but I believe it’s a personal choice . And if you want to deal with it now . That is awesome!

I am learning to eat to live instead of living to eat!

You can do a revision

12/14/22 doing well very happy best thing I’ve ever done wish I’d done it 10 years ago! I love the fact I eat very little! I tried this for years just to feel starved! I’ve lost 55 lbs. 70 from highest weight! Feeling real good!

I had mile 12/15/21 I’m down 55 so we’re rite about the same . I sometimes struggle with my Protein. But try my best to get it in. I was also told I’m doing well too.

Kris77 what else did you have?

I was sleeved 12/14/21 and I have lost 50 lbs. I’m starting to experience Hair loss , I’m noticing In The shower I’m loosing more hair I’ve been using a very good Shampoo since 3 months pre op . I’m hoping it’s a very minimal that I loose. I don’t color or chemically treat my hair also . My hair is very natural. So I’m hopeful this isn’t to bad.

I don’t see on this post how much you needed to loose in all? I’ve lost 49 im 3 months post op Monday that includes weightI loss 2 weeks prior to surgery I need to loose another 40-50 I’m 46 and I’m on a 1 week stall rite now .

I had a lower BMI I was told by many people “ your not fat enough to have WLS@ well I fought my weight for years now I’m at my lowest since I was 24 years old! The weight loss surgery is very successful with people with lower BMI (VSG) best choice I ever made I’ve lost 46 lbs. since my surgery 12/14/21 wish I did it a long time ago! I love not eating much it’s great! I felt same way wondered if I’d loose to much pre op I did put some on wish I’d not thought that way I’d be lower now then I am! It was a mental struggle for a few weeks follow surgeon and don’t follow your own plan there the pro’s ! I finely feel I will be done with my weight for life!

I think you are going through this because food addiction! Remember we all had this done because face it we all have a food addiction! I hade a ruff first week seamed to level out better after that but it’s a daily challenge! My family all eats normal still I do find myself getting quite annoyed watching people eat , telling my kids to slow down a lot now! Realizing how much food they eat annoys me. I think I’m past all the sadness of not eating so much food ( because it is so good) but I go out to eat I eat till I’m full then either take the rest home or give it away there at the table to a starving teenager ( LOL) you got to really focus and change your relationship with food. I think you will be happy in the long run and one day when you have a baby in your arms it will make it all worth it! Hope your deans all come true! Focus on the why and you will succeed! My why is I want to be healthy and do stuff with my family and not be tired all the time! I’m down 40 lbs. in 2 months and I feel great!!

Sleeve here you need to look at what is rite for you , how much weight you need tk loose and so on I had sleeve I was 100 lbs. over weight I’ve lost 40% in 2 months this was rite for me but have a friend that got sleeve also 1 week before me I think she should had done the bypass she is much larger then me and is eating way to much. So you need to be honest with your team and see what is best for you , you can always get sleeve and go back if it wasn’t rite but you can’t go to just a sleeve from a bypass.

Mine was on 12/14/21 I tell you I’m great down 30 lbs. ( was hoping for more) but I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do! This was the best decision I’ve ever made! I’m feeling great! I’m changing my life! No side affects, I’ve been blessed ! Sometime feel they didn’t do anything to me until I eat and now can’t consume much food then I remember! I’m still prob 80 lbs. to my goal but I know I can finely do this! This was not a easy way this was the rite way to take back my life that obesity has stollen from me !

1 month post op today!! Down 29 lbs. was hoping for more but there is nothing more I can do!

I’m close to you I was 242 day of surgery and I’m at 229 I also have become scale obsessed. Just want it gone!! I dieted your many years!!

I think if you need a weight loss program to go to metabolic research center they have a lot of WLS clients and they are Protein based program tell them your had WL surgery so they know

I had my surgery December 6th….I’m REALLY struggling. Tomorrow will practically be week 4 of Clear Liquids and I can’t tolerate them anymore. My stomach will reject them and I am scared to vomit. Any tips? Or is anyone else dealing with this as well. My doctor simply says you need to drink …which is no help.

Why are you on Clear Liquids so long?

I have cravings but I’m not hungry either. I think they call this head hunger. I’ve been getting my Water intake but the Protein Shakes are too heavy for me right now. I’m starting Protein liquid supplements which contain nearly 20g of protein per serving until I’m ready to take on a full shake because at this time, they fill me up, cause pain and make me Ill. Hey, no one ever said this process would be easy, right? ☺️🤷🏾‍♀️

I am rite with you in that, realizing how addictive food is to me ! I have no hunger but think I need to eat! One day at a time!! I did this to be successfully , no turning back!

I deleted my weight watchers app I will
Never waist my money again 25 years to spend my money on there products and services to loose then regain!

Got mine Dec. 14th I’m 2 pays post op . Today was a better day so far. Trying to get my fluids in not very easy!

Post op day 1 HD raking up faster then I though day of pretty ruff! Day one fills much better

Mine December 14 if I get over this cold I have🙏

Why won’t insurance cover it? Most do now

Can’t wait ! Can’t wait 9 more days and counting!!
