If you are a March 30th sleever or close to the date, I would like to know how everyone is doing.

So far for me everything is going really well. Some confusion here and there and I'll either figure it out myself or contact the doctors office.

What stage are you on? How are you feeling? Have you returned back to work? Gym? How much have you lost?

Please add whatever you choose to share!

Mine was on March 27

I am on soft food now.

Total loss was 18 lbs ONLY.

I am in stall now didnt lose anything for past 2 week (since I started the puree food).

I started soft food this week and I have unconfortable feelings that food stuck in my esophagus and takes too long to pass through

does anyone had the same feelings at this stage??

Still can't get all my Protein and Water in.

I didnt start exercising yet just few minutes on elliptical each day but nothing serious.

I dont want to loose weight fast but I dont want to stop there

Mine was March 28th. I am on soft food now, but sometimes I will still have mushy food. I am doing ok with Protein and Water, essentially 60g of Protein and 64 oz are my targets. Some days are better than others. I started up at the gym this past Saturday the 23rd. So far I have had one stall, and am in one right now. But total lost is 28 pounds. I'm feeling almost 100%! Best decision of my life.

Mine was March 30th too. I am at soft food stage. I started swimming and I feel great. Next week I will start some abdominal exercises. Honestly I returned to work after just 1 week post op. I'm taking all my Vitamins and getting in my Protein shakes smoothly. I lost 37 lbs and for the past two weeks my scale didn't move at all. Otherwise I feel great.

I don't have any regrets at all.

Drink a lot of Water, don't skip your Vitamins and Protein Shakes. They'll give you energy. Oh and I started wearing smaller clothes . Excited to continue.

Wow! Everyone is doing amazing!

I struggle day to day with Water and Protein intake. Some days are good and some not so good. I just continue to push through. I noticed that this week I haven't been feeling so good. Today it dawned on me that it's probably my Water and Protein intake and that I need more. I've lost 23lbs so far and I'm very proud of myself!! I'm proud of you guys as well. I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym as I have a doctors appt next week. Some days I get confused as to what should I be eating at this stage.

I asked that you guys keep me updated on your progress as I will do the same.

Had my surgery on 3/28 so official one month as of today.

I'm down about 20lbs from the day of surgery and 40lbs from the start of my two week pre-op liquids diet.

On soft foods now, able to tolerate everything I've tried so far.

Hitting my Water and Protein goals for the most part, have trouble remembering to drink throughout the day some times.

Able to get three 1/2 cup meals in right now so hitting about half my Protein from food and the other half from a protein shake.

Walking about two miles a day five days a week.

Had some problems with Constipation the second week but no other issues so far.

Feeling better physically than I have in a long time, lots of little aches in my legs are already starting to go away. Clothes are already too big.

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
