Doing good!!! I have felt really good. Just wish I was losing a little more. Only down 15 lbs and have been on a stall...little frustrating I hear for a few weeks. Just trying to get all my liquids in each day which is hard.

When is your surgery??

15 lbs is great!!! What kind of eating plan are you doing?

I'm scheduled for Friday August 17. I can't wait!!!! This pre op diet is not very much fun at all. I'm on day 7 and down 10 lbs- so I know it's working!

Congrats to you!! I was on Clear Liquids for one week post-op. 2 weeks full liquids (protein shakes and soups) then this last week soft foods. Should be able to start solid foods this week. Good Luck to you! Will be thinking of you on the 17th!

I am from St. George. I had my surgery done on March 14th, so I am 5 months out now. I have lost 61.5 lbs. I have basically been able to eat any regular Protein I want since about week 4. I have started swimming 3-4 times a week, but the heat down here is preventing any outdoor walking. Having this surgery was the best thing I have ever done!

@desert19 glad to hear you are doing so good. I am doing better too. Losing again now. Eating solids and running on the treadmill. My goal is to do a 5k this fall... Maybe by the end of October? We will see :) down 30 lbs since surgery mid July but have now lost 70lbs since January. Cleaning out my closet has been fun lately! Hope out other Utah friend Emily is doing ok??

Moelizg I am in my 6 month diet with Dr cottam right now! Hopefully ill be sleeved in December between semesters... It should be Jan at the latest though.

Were you happy with Dr Cottam? How is he on surgery day calming you down and stuff? I am super nervous. Also I am curious, when did they collect your coinsurance, was it before hand or did they bill you?

Glad to see all you fellow utahns are doing well and rocking those sleeves, Congrats on your weight loss!

      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
