Hey everyone!! My name is Crystal. I am newly 30, just had my surgery (gastric sleeve) on august 21. I am glad to be part of a supportive community to help guide me through this journey. I am really excited. Started at 241 lb, my goal is 150.

Thanks for having me!

I'm actually feeling pretty good. I believe I am ready to go to the next stage so I'm going to test it tomorrow. Drinking good and am able to get in two 8ounce Protein Shakes plus broth and Water and other liquids. The diet can get confusing at times. I notified many of us have different ways of doing it. Just following my paperwork :-) how about you?

I'm doing pretty good too. Stayed one night in hospital and was sent home late the second post-op day. Getting fluids in has been an all day job! I am drinking Protein Water b/c the shakes kinda upset my stomach and have caused some diarrhea. Makes it a little more challenging to get all my protein in. What is the next step for you? You're totally right. We all seem to have different post-op instructions! I am on full liquids until tomorrow when I can start milk-based very soft items like cream Soups and yogurt and cottage cheese. Not sure how my stomach will respond to any of those since the shakes have caused diarrhea. Its little frustrating. Good luck to you!

Hi Crystal! I was sleeved the day after you. And I'm so confused about the diets. I'm on full liquids diet now. And also I was told not to exercise just to take walks. My Dr. told me to wait for the gym like 2 months preferably.
How are you doing post op? I haven't had any issues after day 4. The first 3 days were a nightmare.
All the best for you!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
