I just had my gull bladder out last Tuesday so I am on working out restrictions. I think I majorly overdid it yesterday because we went to the fair. I walked around a good 4-5 hours but I did have some funnel cake (1 bite) and a fried Oreo (one bite). I was also helping mom carry things and probably went over my weight limits. My surgeon said no treadmill incline until I am 2 weeks out so I am going to go back (or start going) to the gym the Monday I come back from vacation. I know that I cannot walk on a treadmill and have no incline, also I want to do weight things and those are a no no.

Most of the places for the eating tour I will be fine at (they are old favorites where I actually like the Protein there). Other places I am completely screwed (crapes). Honestly I don't really want a crape, its good but not worth the carbs (id rather use them elsewhere). I know next week I will also be out a lot more walking.

I think my biggest issue is yes I have is that I do not see the weight loss. I have went down to a 18 from a 24 but I do not see it. Everyone else says that they see it and only recently I have started taking measurements but they aren't showing anything.

I am in Northern Montgomery County (Gaithersburg/Rockville).

I had mine out last Monday, and went back to the gym today and did crossfit.. So you are probably ok..

I hear you I'm down to a 16 from a tight 26 and sometimes I can't see it, till I look at pics.. Keep your chin up.

You don't want crepes.. then don't eat them! YOU have a choice.

I think I have finally hit one-hundred land. I am hoping that it stays under 200 even with family here. I have made quite a few good choices and my uncle and his wife see a major change in me. I actually said no to garlic bread, because it wasn't worth it. I did say yes to the Pasta and martini but I am making choices. I actually have 2 days left of Pasta but ended up getting rid of 1/2-1/3 of the pasta so it is more seafood than pasta now.

Hi all, I haven't updated in awhile so I thought my recent 6 month check was a good time. I am 65 pounds down and am feeling great. I have 40 or so pounds to go so I am more than half way there even though I have been losing slowly. My meds have been cut in half and I have recently started a Pilates class. No Hair loss so far and no complications so...I am happy. I hope everyone is doing well also, we all have our highs and lows but I am so glad I made the decision to live the sleeved life!

I know... Me too... I was hoping to get to 100 lbs lost, now I'm hovering at 80 lbs, and think I might be done. Its been gradually slowing down for me. As much as I said I wouldn't make this about a number, I am so close, and I wanted to see that number on the scale :( I feel so much better than I did at this time last year! I have to keep reminding myself of that! This was the best decision I've ever made!

Putting it in perspective - when was the last time you lost 80 lbs in six months?? THAT IS AMAZING!! Keep your chin (not chins) up - as you said this is the best decision you have ever made. The tool will keep working for us, it just might not be as fast as we want. Great job!! :)

I agree, I've hit a stall that is about 6 weeks long. Down about 89 pounds, 13 more to my goal... with determination and the sight of my goal weight only about 13 pounds away... I will strive to work harder, watch what I eat and Celebrate those small milestones in my Quest to become a healthier, lighter and happier me!!! Good luck to you all, on your journeys!!! We didn't do this for the instant gratification, we did this for a lifelong desire to be better, have better and enjoy better, the smaller things in life!!!

It's CRAZY going from a hot, sweaty mess to being chilled! I went through surgical menopause 3 years ago and it's the same for me. At times hot (but not sweaty-hot), and cold at times. Doesn't seem to be a great middle ground!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
