I went to my post op appointment today. She said I was right on target so I will stop fretting and embrace my slower weight loss. At 51 I am thrilled at the point for my continued losses.....perhaps my skin will take note and slow the sagging process down too...lol.

Glad to see all are doing so well. Keep pushing cuz there's no going back!!! Thank goodness. .

Sleeved on 7/1 down 35 lbs excited but I did have a 2 week stall. I've been working out for the past two weeks.

I have stalled for two weeks now...frustrating but also know it will pass. I am total down 45 but still only 22 since 7/1 surgery : (

Sleeved on 7-24 and down 26 lbs. Apparently I've hit my first stall because I haven't lost anything in a week. So frustrating because I'm doing everything right. I guess it's good that I can't go have that sympathy binge that used to happen every time I'd get discouraged. I knw this happens but I was hoping it wouldn't have happened this soon :(

I finally after two weeks moved 6 ounces I will take that. I for one struggle with Water intake. I downloaded app that goes off every hour telling me to drink up. That has helped plus walking two miles a day...I know water is my issue. Congrats on your 26 lbs down since sleeved...that my friend is fantastic!!!

Thanks guys :) I guess there's nothing to do but wait. That app sounds like something I could use to because while I'm getting in my liquids, I should probably try and step it up a little. :)

I lost 22lbs in the first 1.5 weeks and nothing since. I was literally in a stall for almost 4 weeks! Just lost 5lbs from yesterday till this morning! The only thing I can really say I changed, is I replaced Breakfast with a shake. So maybe the up in Protein helped? Maybe it was coincidence? All I know is if you follow the plan, you WILL lose!

I was sleeved on July 30th. I am still on Clear Liquids until the 13th. I have lost 7 lbs since surgery but I don't know if part of that is swelling or what. I'm just glad to be losing.

I have noticed a little change in movement. I think it is the Protein.

Tells you I never think to drink here it is almost 4 and I haven't drank since noon...and I wonder why I stalled..yes I know! My Water alarm even went off I guess I ignored it..stupid me got to push the water. I am drinking while I type...

Great weight loss. You will be off liquids before you know 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.
