I had my three month check in today with Dr. Pomp. I have lost 97 pounds, gone down 14 points on the bmi scale, lost 12" around my waist gone from a tight 4x shirt to a 2x shirt. All of my blood work was normal and I feel fantastic.

I got my sleeve as the first part of a two stage DS. I am hoping that the sleeve is the only surgery that i will need.

My only regret is that I did not do it sooner!

Tiff,

why are we not supposed to have caffine drinks like coffee or tea?

Judy

Coffee is a diuretic, so early on staying hydrated is essential.

I have coffee occasionally, and I still have **gasp** (because I know others will be negative about this) some sweet tea when we go out to dinner. I drink right up until the point right before the first bite of food crosses my lips. I'll sometimes even get a to-go cup, and take my sweet tea with me. I have had sweet tea about 4 times in 6 months.

I carry splenda with me because some restaraunts do not have it available.

Wow it is amazing how different each surgeon and nutritionalist is. I have had a cup of coffee every day since week 3, half caff or caff free and with just a tiny bit of cream and splenda or truvia it takes me about an hour to sip on and I look forward to it but I had never heard it was a diuretic... I will make sure I'm watching for dehydration. In the beginning I was told that caffeine slows healing down.... I know one thing I still haven't had ONE day of getting in 8 glasses of Water since surgery... more like 4-6... and I'm going on week 6... is this normal??

I started drinking coffee again about week 6. I missed it. I have one cup every morning. Every once in a great while I have a cup at night. Since I got the flu last weekend I have not had any. I am back to herbal teas, and clear Soups. I am sure I will go back to coffee with in the week. I did not know it was a diuretic. Sigh.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
