So I am here at my surgeons office for follow up. Is it only me or is anyone else afraid to be weighed that they will be disappointed?

I just had my follow up yesterday and I had those same feelings....not to mention its the middle of winter so I had on layers of clothing...but it went well I had a total lost of 24 pounds...dont worry bc the numbers won't be the same as pre op!

I found out that surgeons goals are def not the same as ours! Ive lost 55 in 4 months and he says I will be at his goal in 5 more lbs! Wtf. They swear that 60 percent if excess weight is the norm. Im thinking my butt better lose another 45!

I go in for my year follow up on the 28th. Im excited to step on the scale in thier office. Hell, I hope they make me a spokesperson or something... lol. Michele... my surgeon wanted me at 175.. I dont really get it because I would have still been considered overweight on the BMI chart. How did everything else go othere then his lame goal... Let us know

Everything went great. I was just shocked that they were pleased with my loss. Most people have lost at least 60to70 by this point. I havent even been able to exercise at all until yesterday. Im hoping to really knock this out and get to a very healtjy weight

D level...I asked for a prescription for a bahama vacation for some sun so my health plan would pay for it...but couldnt get him to agree! gotta take a vit d pill once a week for 12 weeks.... bummer! Hope everyone elses visit came out ok too!

Did dr mention issue with your Water intake or something as to why?

No nothing just that I wasn't that big to start with so it will be slow. Which is totally different then what was said when I first started out. Was told I would lose 100 pounds in first 4 months.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
