my biggest question for you low BMIers is did you lose shoe sizes? my feet are surprisingly thinner that most of my body but i do wear a 10-10.5 and just curious if my feet will shrink. no way to know but wait and see i suppose!

I was a 33 BMI (I am now a 26 and just barely in the overweight category). I have lost 54lbs in 5.5 months. No regrets at all except I wish this was available 20 years ago.

I was 206lbs the day of surgery and am now 169 at 8 weeks. I of course don't lose as fast as some, but no I don't regret it. I didn't take any before pics. I meant to but just never did. I still don't take pics of myself. Maybe when I reach my goal weight I will feel differently.

I was around 275 (BMI 38) when I decided to get a VSG last July. I had my surgery on 10/6/15 and just weighed in at 199.

The nice thing about having a lower BMI is that you can get it all over and done with pretty quickly. I'm 15 weeks post surgery and 9 lbs from my goal.

That said, I was very fortunate in that I had no complications, no dumping, vomiting or pain.

Since week 9, I've been able to eat anything, just no more than 5-6 ounces at one time. I do still track all my food and exercise.

From a diet point of view, I have become the person I always envied!

Now, my next issue will be maintenance. I'm not really sure what to do differently without sabotaging what I've changed in my lifestyle.

Stay tuned...

I had my surgery on 9/8/15.....weighing 197, I'm now 147...greatest thing ever. I have more energy. I'm off all my blood pressure pills. I really feel great. I was in size 16 pants, I bought a pair 9. The pants fit when I left the store but 2 weeks later, the pants were too big... I'm not buying anymore until I reach goal.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
