Sleeved 4/17/13 and I'm down 54 pounds. I spent a few weeks really nauseated and they found my gallbladder was diseased so I had emergency surgery to remove that. Since then I've had zero nausea and have been able to start incorporating new foods as tolerated. Good luck everyone!

Sleeved 4/2 and down 64.2lbs.... I'm only 5'2" we'll almost....and my start weight pre op was 238.8 CW is 174.6.... Not sure what my goal weight should be.... I have a larger body frame them most women.... More muscle then fat ratio percentage.... I'm thinking 140 would be a good weight ? But I guess I'll just see how it goes! Exercise 3-4 times a week as I'm just lazy but I get outside more now to do physical activity! I think that just keeping your body moving is the key!

Why in the world would you eat candy I thought the whole purpose of getting this surgery was to lose weight and gain healthy eating habits. I have given up bread, sugar and alot of other things because I hated myself at 360 pounds. I'm down 70 pounds since being sleeved on the 8th of April. Yes sometimes I want something sweet but I just don't feel like the extra calories are worth it. I think that if you are falling into old habits you need to refocus on what it is you want from your surgery. It's easy to fall back especially if something doesn't make you sick but think about how much more you would hate your self if the scale was going up instead of down. There are many alternatives to candy bars. I love frozen fruit or raw veggies with lemon and Chile powder . If candy is a must for you buy the minis and limit your self to one just to satisfy your craving . Sorry I just had to get that out I wish you all the best of luck

I agree, I sometimes get cravings but literally 2 bites is all I need and I'm totally satisfied!

I was on a stall for about 10 days with the scale not moving. I read on here the recommendation to eat avocado to help get off a stall and it worked or it could be coincidence.???? I had some avocado slices last night and this morning I was down 2 lbs. I think I'll just keep eating a little avocado each day and see if the scale keeps moving.

Day of Surgery -- 4/25/13

Weight loose -- 34 lbs

I'm so happy today! I'm 9 weeks out today and finally hit the 30 lbs down mark, maybe this stall is over as I averaged 2 lbs a week this month. Or I'm just a slow loser. Either way I excited now and can't wait to get into a exercise routine to go along with low calorie intake. Who knows I could get to 40 lb. mark by 4 th of July .

Congrats! Lots of cardio get the weight off before you try and put on muscle. I do lift a small amount of weights but only to maintain. I put light weight and do about 3 sets of 20 for whatever I do. But right now focus on lots of cardio

So apparently my 2 week stall is over. I've lost 4 pounds so far this week and my pants are officially falling off of my butt. I finally hit a size 20 which I'm hoping to go through quickly because most of my leftover clothes are 18 and under. I really don't want to shop for something that will only fit for a few weeks to a month.

@babygirl09, I stalled at 30 lbs for about 8 days. Then I started eating avocado with my meals, ( egg whit omelet with a little avocado and cheese for Breakfast, slice if avocado with what ever I have for dinner) and for some reason them started loosing weight again. No clue if its the avocado or coincidence but I'm keeping at it.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
