I live in Texas now but am having surgery in New Orleans. They're calling me tomorrow with a reporting time! I moved this past weekend and that knocked me off my not diet diet (shakes+ normal meal) because I needed more energy so I hoping I didn't gain too much. I'm a slow loser and didn't start until the 5th so I'm hoping I didn't do too much damage.





Gotcha that can be difficult but Im sure you'll be fine by surgery date! Moving is a good calorie burn anyway [emoji6]

How are you doing surgery twin?



Surgery went well and I was home last Friday. Then on Tuesday I ended up w a high fever and was in the hospital for four days. :-( came home last night and I am just praying and monitoring my temperature so it does not get high. I do NOT want to go back to the hospital. I told the doc I regretted getting the surgery but he is so nice and a really good doc....running so many tests to try finding out what is causing the fever.



How about you?

I am about to go walk in my house bc it help keeping fever down.

So sorry you have a rough start. I didn't have any issues after surgery so I have been doing really well. Ready to move on to the next food phase since the Im over the sweetness of the shakes all day.

I am also late to this board. I had my sleeve done on July 19th as well. Doing pretty good. I am definitely ready to start with adding some meat into my diet tomorrow. I get to have tuna with light mayo and chicken and turkey added to my diet. Keep up the great work everyone. This is a hard journey but will be well worth it in the end!

Hey surgery pals! I'm doing great. They kept me an extra day because of vomiting from anesthesia but everything has been smooth sailing since. I'm slowly introducing purees now, but haven't had any food intolerances until this point. Last I weighed I was 20lbs down, but that was 5 days ago so I'm not sure now.

I had my two week follow-up today. Down 26lbs which includes my pre-op diet. I was moved to soft foods and I am ecstatic that I get to skip pureed foods lol. All of my restrictions were removed so onward and upward! Congratulations to everyone! Just remember it will get better!

I am so glad you are doing well! Everything has been going well w me!! Glad the fever did not come back. They could not find out what caused the fever. I am still on soft foods for another week.

Lost about 26 pounds so far. I need to up my Water, so I am working on that!!

Thats awesome Im glad you're doing well. I am still struggling to get all of my water in. I was a gallon per day prior to surgery but now Im struggling to get a half gallon in since my stomach gets full so fast. I am at my plateau right now which sucks but I get it. It happens and I'll get past it.

      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!!
