I was 326 when I started pre-op diet. I weighed 305 on surgery day ( 11/28 ). I weighed in today at 282. I've lost 23 pounds since surgery and a total of 44 pounds since I started this journey. Congrats to everyone. We will all be big losers soon. :)

hi I had my sleeve done Nov. 7th. Doing well been able to eat 1 oz of meat & 1/4 cup of fruit or veggies per meal. Have lost 54 lbs so far. My NUT told me to make sure I drank 2 premier shakes a day to reach Protein goals. So far it's working out well. Most days I get in all the fluids ...... that seems to be the thing I have to focus on the Most. If I don' t drink all the fluids my lower plumbing does' t work. And then I am so uncomfortable. Drinking all the fluids makes a HUGE difference.

I started this journey back in sept 2011 and weighed in at 336 I had to loose 21 before surgery for insurance purposes. After all loosing the weight and going through the two week pre op diet I weighed in at 213 DOS Nov 1st 2012.

The first week I lost 14 then had a 0 week after that boy that was frustrating. Now almost two months out I am at 282. Down 29 from surgery and 52 overall. Very happy about that but frustrated this past week or so since I have stalled again.

Is it still taking everybody over 30 minutes to eat meals? Even when I chew food so well, and pause between bites, it will only take 15-20 minutes. Wondering if I should just stop between bites for a few minutes

Very good question. I find it difficult for the first few bites but then I seem to be picking up speed and sizes of bites too. I don't necessarily eat more just faster, even when I tell myself to slow down. It takes me about 15-20 min too.

Me too. It takes time but I get it done pretty quick. I'm still eating small amounts and get full easy. But I think the quantity is more what I am concerned with.

Good!! Thought it was only me! It's only 2-3 ounces of food, but I wanted to make sure I was the weird one ;-)

I am about the same ad well. Veggies seem to fill me up more than the protein.

I made galumpkis last night and the cabbage is going down well surprising enough. I can only eat half at a time but that's ok too. Lol. I also used grated zucchini and crook neck squash instead of rice. Came out better than the old rice version.

I usually eat in about 20-25 min. I had the flu for 7 days in mid December, and I'm sure that it slowed my weight loss. My goal was to be at 199 by Christmas and I didn't make it :(. I'm happy with my weight loss so far!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
