Just had my two week check up. 22.5lb since June 8th. Total with pre op is 46.5lb. I thought that was low, but Dr was very happy. I'm just glad the staples are out!

I just had surgery May 1 so almost two months and feeling good but I am afraid I'm over eating because I don't have any of the fullness pains. I have lost 36 pound so far plus 14 pound before surgery. Like I can eat a whole yougert for lunch and 4oz of chicken or salmon for dinner. Others I know still can not eat this much and feel sick after eating.

I'm I stretching my stomach??

I weighed 231 at the time of my surgery and I'm 213 5 weeks out now so I've lost a total of 18lbs since surgery. I had lost 19 on my post op diet so total loss is 37lbs.

It has been about a month since I started my pre-op diet and 2.5 weeks since surgery. Since the beginning (meaning pre op diet), I have lost 46lbs!

OK! I just have to say it! I am jealous. I know all the right things, we all lose at our own rate, it is not a race, you cant't eat 600 calories a day and not lose, etc. Yada, yada, yada! I went from 202 to 193 on my 2 week pre-diet and have gone from 193 to 185 post sleeve and have lost nothing for a week. If this were just another diet I would probably say F it and invite hubby out to dinner tonight. I chose to create a permanent tool so that this irrational thinking would have to be faced head on. I am committed to my personal health and progress so will continue on and find my sense of humor because I am going to get there!

Glad to hear wonderful amounts of loss and also about the 3 week post surgery stall. I hadn't heard that before but I am in my 3rd post surgery week and this morning I weighted .6 more than yesterday! It had been so much fun losing every day but I knew that would pause for awhile. I lost 32 lbs presurgery and another 14 post surgery (18 days ago) so a total of 46. I'm looking forward to the 50 lb loss mark! No July 4th bbq this year.. but i will be up to a tablespoon of food 6x a day by July 4th. Looking forward to that scrambled egg! So grateful to everyone on here. It helps so much to compare notes and learn things like I'm not the only one having a 3rd week stall.

You have lost 18 lbs in 20 days. That is awesome -- and a rate that can not continue so of course you slowed down. Someone mentioned a 3rd week slump. I'm in it now and while it is frustrating it helps to know that others have experienced it and that it will pass. I bet your doctor will tell you that you are doing great. My surgery was also on June 10th and I've lost 14 lbs since then (32 presurgery, for a total of 46. I would love to be down 50, I know I will get there in a week or two. Patience! This is a long process and it won't happen overnight so hang in there.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
