I was 204 pre diet and after 3 day diet was 196. My highest weight was 210. I had surgery 8/26 and I weigh 174.6 now. I feel I've had a lot of weeks with 0 loss but as long as I am moving in the right direction, all is well. How are you doing?

Hi! I was 210 to start, 193 day of surgery (9/21) and 177 today. I've seen a lot of zero losses, too, but the general trend is a losing one, so I'm happy overall. I think weeks 2-4 I saw no changes, and even small gains. It's frustrating when you are in it.

I was 197 at pre op. Had my sleeve done on 10/20. As of my post op yesterday I am 180. I first started this journey in March when I weighed 207. I am now on puréed foods for 2 1/2 weeks.

My surgery was 9/13. I weighed 195 and on Saturday I weighed 172. I am losing slowly about 1-1.5 lbs per week but I have lost each week. I measure myself every 3 weeks on Monday nights and am losing inches. I am wearing much smaller clothes and even my abdominal apron is shrinking. I only weigh at WW meetings on Saturday mornings so as not to focus too much on the scales. I go to the gym at least once a week. My struggles are getting in enough Water and my hair falling out. I come up short every day on the Water but am trying to focus more. I just try to follow all the rules my surgeon set out. I wish you all luck and just keep your focus on the big picture of better fitting clothes and better health.

I'm three weeks post surgery and stuck at 188. I don't plan to go back to work until week six, so maybe I'm not losing like I thought I would because of not much activity. I get out for my daily walk, do the house chores, but that's about it. Because I'm off work (teacher), I am enjoying reading and Netflix. Even though I don't eat much, and just pureed food now, I feel that I need more of an active lifestyle. I am cherishing my disability time-off, but think that when I return to the hectic life of a high school teacher, I'll lose faster. I just hope I have the strength, because now I'm not ingesting much to give me stamina.

      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!!
