I'm happy for you Lindsay... Keep up the good work.

I just started soft foods and I'm so happy. I was full with 2oz of Salmon but it was delicious!!

I bought everything on the list because I go back to work tomorrow and need to be prepared.

So far so good and not hungry or in pain. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks for me.

Hey guys so im like almost 3 months out. Theres not much that i cant eat its a matter of what nourishes me. Greasy foods and carbs make me lethargic. Im going for my 3 month appointment with dr abkin in 2 weeks. Hes a great doctor.

Hey Lindsay. How are you adjusting 3 mos out? Is it what you expected/ prepared for? How much lost so far? With the sleeve were you in and out same day in the surgical center or were you in hospital overnight ?

JustJaime5 I'm doing ok thanks! The first couple of days were rough with the gas pain but today marks 5 days out and I feel pretty good. I'm so over the clear liquid diet! I go back to my surgeon tomorrow and hope to move to the next phase. I'm not really hungry except some head hunger and according to my scale I'm down11.8lbs since last Wednesday! Still having a tough time getting all the Water & Protein in but I'm trying!

No buyers remorse here, but I miss chewing!! Lol

Baby steps, I know!

Im very adjusted. I spend an extra 15 mins every morning setting up Protein Shakes, cheeses, nuts, and other Protein rich Snacks for the day. I can eat almost anything, but some things are still uncomfortable. Such as red meat and most carbs. They are a little tougher going down amd i immediately get lethargic. Sometimes its worth it, most times its not. I eat a lot of poultry and fish. Ive become a better cook since i Meal prep each weekend. I have lost 66 pounds!! If you guys have ANY questions feel free to message me :)

Hi all. It's been a while since I've been on and I wanted to check to see how everyone is doing? I'm still on the road to surgery. It's scheduled for Dec so I am just finishing the required appointments. Psych eval is done. Nut counseling next month and then the endoscopy then I should be all set.

One question for you all. Did you have the procedure at the florham park office or out of morristown memorial Hosp? How long was your stay?

Hope you all are doing well!

My surgery is scheduled for September 8th in the FP surgical center, it's being done as an outpatient procedure (so long as everything goes well) and from what I understand all of Dr.Abkins patients are outpatient, at least that's what they led me to believe in the pre-op class last week..

Are you so excited?! I am and my sx is months away. I'm a little nervous. The first visit I had lost 5 lbs but between visits. Then I went on vaca and gained a few pounds then I gained like 7 lbs since last month. I sprained my ankle and have not worked out and have been eating so badly. I'm afraid when I go tues for the weight loss class I'm going to be in trouble. Did you gain any weight during your wait time? They haven't told me I "can't". I'm so afraid the insurance will see that and either push sx back or deny. After jumping through these hoops I'm so concerned.

Excited and nervous.

My first and only appointment was in May since then I gained 4lbs, I wasn't required by my insurance to lose any weight before surgery. When I went in for the pre-op class they weighed me and didn't say anything about my weight.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
