Im glad everything is going well!! On this side everything is well, i have had no complications, I was sleeves march 7th, i was at 256 and my CW is 186. Only thing is i look in the mirror and look the same. I have very big thighs and now they look horrible with all the loose skin.

Hello! All's good here, I seem to be loosing much slower now though! I had surgery March 8, was 242 day of surgery, and since I didn't have a preop diet I hadn't lost a lot of weight before... I am currently 161. I've lost 81 lbs in almost 7 months! The last 2 months I've averaged about 6 lb. a month and this month I lost 6 inches, last month only 1.... I'm 5'2 and am wearing a size 9 or 8 jeans and a med/large shirt, also I'm wearing a size medium underwear which seems so strange to me!!

I'm also going through some of the head games where I feel out of place shopping in the smaller section, but I had a cool thing happen the other day, I was looking for a blazer at a thrift store for an interview and I was trying them on in the isle (which I would have never done before, for fear of it not fitting) and some of them the buttons wouldn't close over my boob area and I was just like ugh almost!A plus size women overheard me and commented "I know what you mean". Lol So a few minutes later she comes up to me with a coat and says this is a great one, I'm not sure what size you wear though...so I thanked her and I looked at the jacket and it was a 8/10 which was the size I was trying on and needing! I just thought it was cool because it showed me how I think of myself really isn't how others see me....

Anyways sorry to blab on lol [emoji4][emoji254]

Doing ok here. Down 51 lbs. It has been slow but steady for me since the start. I think part of that is due to the fact that I am a grad student and it is difficult to get out and do a lot of exercise with all the reading. Took 3 less credits (1 less class) this term and hope that gives me a tad more time to get out and walking more.

Most of my 'shopping' has been from the boxes of clothes that I have here at home. I had done a medically supervised all liquid diet approximately 4 yrs ago and had a bunch of clothes from them in smaller sizes. What has been more difficult is to let go of the pieces I had that made me feel like I looked good. One of my kids finally told me I needed to quit wearing them as they looked big and baggy on me.

As for food intolerance....spicy things and stuff with skin - ie apples/grapes/tomatoes do not seem to sit well. I LOVED spicy food, and still do, only now it is with the tums as dessert. Things with skin just makes my tummy not feel good - Pavlov theory at work as I have little desire for them after trying a couple of times.

Hardest challenge.... Mr Love him dearly but he loads the plate way to much if he gets food for me. Yes, I know I should do my own plate and normally I do. This last term was a bugger and often when he got up I would be up in my office until dinner was ready. Trying to be nice he would do a plate for me. Had to ask him to not do that and try to not hurt his feelings as I know he was doing it to be nice.

LOVE hearing how we all are doing. Great things coming our way!

How's everyone doing? I know for me, the weight loss is extremely slow noa

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

It's slow for me now too. I'm beginning to worry that I've hit maintenance.

I've lost 75% excess weight and have been stuck for the past month.

My lowest was 168 last week. Today, back to 170. I think it's because I was eating ham, which is pretty salty, so maybe Water weight.

<<fingers crossed>>

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
