I know... I know.. it's Water weight.. .etc. etc. etc.....BUT it's still weight.. lol

I started out at about 248 pounds ( roughly what I was when I went for my consult on January 23rd)

The day of surgery I was about 240 ( liquid diet prior to surgery)

After surgery I weighed about 242 ( IV fluids... swelling or whatever)

Today I dusted ...(yes literally dusted off my scale because I had become SOOOOOO discouraged/depressed about my weight I stopped weighing myself because the number fluctuated up and down so much *Life Long Yo-Yo Dieter here*)

Anyhoo dusted off my scale and it read 230.4 lbs.... I am in total disbelief and amazed that I have lost 10 lbs in a lil over a week. I am definitely going to enjoy the "honey moon phase" of my weight loss ( this isn't my first rodeo) and I know there will be weeks with no weight loss, times when I might stall etc. but for now ...oh how sweet it is to be a loser!!!!

I started out wearing 18 pants and XXL or XL shirts depending on cut/manufacturer. Tried on an outfit I wore to work my last day before I went out on leave for my surgery and it is actually loose... I couldn't button it all the way down because my stomach and hips were so big.. BUT TODAY... I was able to button it all the way down to the very last button (old navy) and it is VERY loose in the front. You can't see my back fat when I turn around. It fits wonderfully. My jeans (old navy as well) are very loose need a belt...but my stomach still hurts a bit from the surgery so I am going to pass on that for now. But at the rate I am going I should be able to fit into a 16, comfortably by the end of next month!!!

I am TOO happy right now!

Before and after pics coming soon... so stay tuned! :)

Fantastic!

I remember the excruciating joy I felt when I realized I wasn't walking up another blind alley. I REALLY was going to lose the fat!

I did!

So will you!

You and I had our procedures the same day and I m also getting great numbers. I was 269 at surgery and am now 255!! I can not believe it!!! My hubby keeps telling me that I shouldn't weigh myself all the time because I will become obsessed. I'm thinking, hey if it keeps me motivated then what's the harm! So so happy for you and here's to being in the 100's club!!!!

I almost hate that I looked now.. lol.. I can get pretty scale obsessed myself and for me that's not good because I become completely consumed with numbers. But doesn't it feel good to see the loss?

      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!

      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.
