Hi, all. This is my first post and I'm just completing my first week post surgery. I may be a little unique in that I had sleeve surgery with a lower BMI--32. I've struggled with weight my entire life and always worked out...just can't keep it off. Always hungry and no diet ever seems to work. So I bit the bullet and paid for the surgery myself. It's been remarkably easy so far...I, candidly, am just not hungry. I'm losing about a lb a day, and I'm staying pretty strictly to the liquid diet. My general concern is that I really can't tell anything has happened to me except that I'm not hungry and I am losing weight (which I guess is the greatest outcome possible). I do fear the ease of this will make it very easy to go back to old habits. Anyone else out there with a similar experience?

I just started on this journey. I wieght 190 at 5'1. My BMI is 36. I feel like I may have made the wrong choice. I hate not being able to eat real food. I am not good eating the right foods and I am losing nothing. Would love to hear how others in this group doing now please

I don't think I was at a "low", just maybe not as high? LOL

I am 1 week post-op and I'm finding that my weight loss is gradual which I kinda like. I think this will minimize the amount of hair loss and loose skin that I can potentially have. I feel great and look forward to the next step every day.

I absolutely love your positive attitude! I just had surgery on Dec.16 and it has been hell. I am sure it's my own fault. I can not stick to the all liquid diet and cheat often. My weight loss has been very slow. I actually weighted a pound more at my three day post op. Clearly I severely mis understood my dependence on food. I want so badly to make this tool work but I just don't see it happening.

I also had a low BMI when I had the sleeve (30). If I had the chance to do it over I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. I eat very very little, and because of this I cannot gain weight… At times I feel very weak at best…

Every time I go out to eat it’s a big waste of money as after three to four bites I full.
