Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm 24 years old. I was sleeved June 2, 2014. So it's been 3 months and I've already lost 76 pounds as of this morning! I just have a lot going on in my life, so it would be great to have someone who is in a similar situation as me to talk to! Just let me know!!

Yay! And I'm so happy that you are so excited about it! I was pretty nervous beforehand, but I'm seriously so happy that I did it!

I've been feeling the same hunger feelings too, but when I go to eat, I take like 3 bites of something and I feel full! I think the amount of weight loss and the speed of weight loss depend on the starting weight. On my surgery day, I weighed 304 and have been losing about 3-4 pounds a week. But keep your head up! You made a great decision in getting the surgery for your health!! And 43 pounds is 43 pounds that are gone! Go for little milestones, that way you don't feel so stressed and upset when it takes so long to lose like 25 pounds! Keep it up!!

Yay! Buddy! That's so exciting about your weight loss! That's really fast too! I had absolutely no idea what to expect going in, so any progress was good progress! But I'm 3 months out and have just now started having hair issues where my hair is coming out faster than normal. I heard about it beforehand, but I thought that would happen almost right away, so when it didn't happen at first, I thought I was one of the lucky ones who it didn't happen to. Oh well! Me and my bottle of Biotin are going to become best friends!! Good luck with your continued weight loss!!!

It's going pretty well. I've just been working a lot so I'm pretty tired. But in exciting weight loss news, I just had to move my size 8 ring to my pointer finger to prevent it from sliding off my middle finger! Before my surgery, that ring would only fit on my ring finger! So my hands have shrunk quite a bit in 3 months!! I think my 100 pound treat to myself is going to be a replacement ring that fits on my ring finger again! Only 22 more pounds till then!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
