Our company admin came around this morning asking our sizes for the company tee-shirt she's ordering. I said I wanted an XL. She asked me if I was sure because the are kinda form fitted.

I stuck with an XL, I'm having gastric sleeve surgery 5/2. I hope the next time they see me I'm an XL!

You might have asked for a large. Once the weight loss starts it should be pretty rapid.

Not sure how soon you need to wear the shirt, but you'll drop a t-shirt size in about 4 weeks after surgery. Even if it is a little snug after that, it will just show off your curves! You'll do great!

And in 6 months, you'll need to use it as a night shirt!

I found out that they want all of us at the company to wear the tee-shirt at a coworker's retirement party on May 24th :mellow: How much weight do you lose in the first 3 weeks?

I took a peek at your profile. I honestly think you'll be fine (depending on body shape).

I'm pear shaped and 5'7, 268lbs today, and could squeeze into an xl t shirt if I had to.

No worries!

      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!!

      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! 😞
