We are on the same path:
SW:267
VSG date:7/10/17
Surgery weight: 252
Now:209
After losing so rapidly in months one and two it's hard to accept the slow, but consistent loss on month three. Still following my plan to a "T". Most days my Breakfast consists of a Premier Protein shake mixed with Decaf coffee. I actually love it. It satisfies my sweet tooth. Congrats on your weight loss! You are doing great! Don't let the stalls get you down.

Thanks for sharing! Love that we’re so similar in our paths. As far as the stall, I refuse to beat myself up over weight any longer. I look at it as my body’s break before another losing run. I have embraced that this a marathon, not a sprint.
I look for to hearing from you again!

Your mental approach to stalls is spot on. As far as the "body's break before another losing run", my weight loss pattern is a prime example of this. For the last month or so my weight stays consistent or fluctuates by a few ounces Tuesday through Friday of every week. The scale only goes down on Saturday, Sunday, and sometimes Monday. It's crazy how that pattern has been so consistent. I can only speculate, but I think it may have something to do with the fact that I get more sleep on the weekends. Who knows!

Hi guys, I had surgery on 7/14. My highest weight was 228 and I am now 193. In total I've lost 35 lbs.

I need to be better about what I am putting in my body. I need to eat better even though I can't eat much.

Looks like you are all doing amazingly. Here's my progress pic so far. I wish I took more before photos...I didn't take any, this is just one I have that someone took.

Almost 9 months post op for us July 2017 sleevers! Anyone still checking in here? I’m down 109 pounds and feeling spectacular. I’ve surpassed my goal of 160 pounds. Think I’m going to aim for 150 and strive to keep my weight between 150 and 160 for the long term. It feels very strange to be at a point where I really don’t need to lose any more weight. I haven’t been at that point for years. If I’m not obsessed with losing weight, what will I be obsessed with?!

Nice to see you, I was wondering how you were doing. You haven’t posted in a while. Glad you are well.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
