Yay! I love seeing updates in this thread and new posters in this range too!

LowBMISleever you are doing so so well, and you look fantastic. I'm so impressed with the speed of your weight loss and with how fit you are.

I was sleeved on August 11, and am losing well, not as fast as LowBMISleever but certainly better than on any diet of my life and I have no complaints about the rate of loss! My BMI was 30.5, and is now 26; I've gone from 183 lbs at my surgery consult July 28 to 156.4 lbs at my most recent followup appointment this week. It's true that when you're starting out in this range you likely won't drop 50 pounds a month, but still, these losses are amazing and the sleeve helps SO MUCH. It really can help you break free from the patterns and other limitations (for me, getting tired just getting out of bed for example!) that made it so easy to gain weight and keep the weight on.

Good luck to everyone on this thread and congrats on another amazing update, LowBMI!

@@hats123 you're killing it!!! And you're getting SO close to the feeling normal again days!! Hugs & kisses to the lowBMIers on here taking crap from people about not needing the surgery!! This is only part 1 of our journey. If we get to our goal and ruin maintenance, then we didn't do it. So excited to see us all reach goal & maintain together!!!!! #marathonnotasprint

Question is anyone on the Pre or post opp Vitaleph supplements. If yes how is it working if no what are you using instead?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I bought vitaleph products. Hated their shakes. If you like them, I'll mail you mine. I also used the first month of their Vitamin package, which was great bc I knew I was getting what I was supposed to. After the first month when I knew the majority of my healing was done & I felt safe tO move to over the counter Vitamins, I started using Flintstones Complete 2p/ day. chewable Align Probiotics, liquid B-12/Folic Acid from health store, and calcium/vit D chews. I'll let you know how my bloodwork comes back. Have appointment on Monday to check it.

Oh, and I drink Premier Protein drinks...pre op, post op, probably forever lol

@@LowBMISleever you are such an inspiration. I have my surgery on the 5th and was really questioning my decision til I saw this thread. I'm 31 BMI and getting so much push back from friends. Please keep posting updates

I'm 5'5", started with BMI exactly there - 30.5. At exactly two months post op, I've lost 35 pounds and my BMI is 24 and change (I've still got 20+ pounds till goal).

Most importantly, I recognize myself. In the mirror, in how I walk, in how I talk to people. I feel hopeful about the future in ways I just didn't feel before -- I didn't think or truly feel that things were mine to determine, and now I do. I hope you have a wonderful and transformative experience, inside and out. I'll be psyched to follow your progress!

Edit: @@lowbmi65 how is recovery going?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
