I have lost 43 lbs since 8/7! I’m so excited bc I have never, EVER seen the scale move more than a few lbs of a fad diet. This was the best decision I have ever made! HOWEVER, I think the doctor’s scale is not telling the truth. I was a solid 18 when I started this process, maybe even slightly pushing out of the 18 but 43 lbs down and most my clothes still fit?!! A 16 is still a bit tight? What is happening?! My go-to jeans are finally loose enough to possibly go down a size but a lot of my stuff is fitting just fine. I don’t get it. I know I look better-face is thinner (thank god) and clothes definitely fit better, just assumed that 43 lbs down would mean a new size. Anyone else having this issue??

We had the surgery on the same day and it's roughly 28 lbs for me, but I have a lot more to lose (my starting weight was 319 and my goal weight is roughly 165).

For those with plantar fasciitis, the foot brace definitely helps. Also can use cold/warm therapy. If it is indeed plantar fasciitis the pain should be worse when waking up. It is also worse when walking in bare feet or sandals. If you want to walk you should use sneakers with good arch support. Although surgeons ask you to avoid NSAIDs this is more of an issue with bypass and not as much with sleeve. Ask your surgeon. I myself developed horrible incision site pain and I used NSAIDs + ppi from day 8-21.

I never got a brace from my podiatrist.

It's very hard feelings like I'm always hungry again and that I'm not getting anywhere at this point no matter what I do.

I was swimming for exercise but since the weather‘s cooled off I haven’t done that in about two weeks. I guess I need to find a new form of exercise that I enjoy.

I pretty much eat whatever I want- except sweets. I do have carbs, which I know a lot of you don’t. But I enjoy piece of toast in the morning. And if I want something with carbs for dinner I’ll have it. I’m full after about 4-5 bites. So my struggle is if I do eat the carbs then I don’t get the protein- then I can’t b***h if I don’t lose any weight. So every day for the past two weeks I’ve tried to have at least one Protein Shake. And that seems to help.

The weight has come off slower than I thought but I can’t complain. I haven’t been under 300 in about 15 years. So it feel pretty good :-)

I noticed something about myself and I was wondering if others out there were having the same issue. When I'm making myself a plate of food, I'll take a look at 3oz that is on the plate and think, "that is not nearly enough" and add more (yes, I use very small plates). I never can finish it of course but I don't want this to turn into a habit and then over eat. Can anyone offer me any help on how to overcome this?

You buy disposable little plastic containers. I use 2 oz. I will be soon buy 3oz. make your food in advance, pre-pack everything and only eat what you need to.
