  • I'm 37 and my BMI is 55 and I have been overweight my hole life I am definitely ready I want to be able to ride roller coasters and just be comfortable in my own skin.

  • Okay, so I really thought I wouldn't make it through the liquid diet. To be honest, the first 4 days were HELL! The hunger, cravings, and fatigue WAS REAL! I think I am finally in ketosis though (day

  • Do far most everyone is supportive. Some of them look at me weird cause they’re surprised. I only qualify for esg just barely .....I had to have a BMI of 30 or higher. I was 31. It just makes so much

Everything is moving forward I am looking forward to Sunday when I can add full liquids to my diet and go back to my protein shakes, I have missed those. I think I have missed coffee most of all though.
I am doin pretty good. Some of the soreness seems to be subsiding but still getting some gas pains. Had my first bm about 4:30am. I am having some type of stomach spasms or something. Not sure if it is hunger or spasms or both. Hope everyone else is doing well.
I had my surgery last Monday (24th) and doing pretty good! I had no pain or nausea in the hospital! The only pain I had were the incisions. Just felt like I did too many stomach crunches. I didn’t feel like I had surgery! I’m on full liquids. I started riding my stationary bike for about 20minutes. It’s been raining here in Houston so can’t get out and walk. On about Wednesday I was having some nausea problems but that’s the only day. My husband took me to see the grandkids yesterday and I was sore more than usual. I think it was from the seat belt. When you get to feeling good to go out it might be a good idea to take a pillow to put across your belly. I just got finished eating Cream of Mushroom and Chicken Soup mixed with 1c of 1/2% milk and 1/3c of instant powdered milk. It was DELICIOUS!! I ONLY GET A 1/2c. I go back to the dr Wednesday. It looks like so far I’ve lost 10lbs. Now that’s according to my scale. I’m pleased!! Any weight loss is a good loss!!

I slept on my stomach last night. Bad decision.

Ouch! I was finally able to sleep on my left side last night! Woo hoo!

I have been having a hard time sleeping. I tried both sides and stomach. Stomach is my normal sleep position. no side is good and still wake up in the middle of night to adjust myself.

The gas pain are intense. They make you feel soo bloated.
