Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

I would take feeling full anytime over feeling Ready to Puke, today there are Storm Clouds in my heart and I wonder if it will turn worse rapidly. Tried some Bran Buds this am, trying to add fiber in the hopes I will become more regular with #2. NOW WHAT?

I was having that problem for a little while..I used milk of magnesia and also found it easier to go once I added more semi solid foods. Hope you are doing better

I put benefiber in my water and take Colace 3x a day per my surgeon. Good luck!

A Greek Omelet, oooh Yum Yum! I really don't care much for eggs, but in the case of a Greek one, I will forego my repulsion.
Snicker-snicker, I taught L.L.(short for Late Lamented) to make his own eggs when I called it "Some poor hens miscarriage" never could please him with my egg cookery, he liked his Over Easy, that's where the white is set, but the yoke is still So runny it coats the back of your throat! Yucky to the INTH [emoji107]degree!

LOL@ Frustr8!!!!

I was April third as well

I’ve lost 12 pound since surgery

happy with that though

it’s very slow but I’m happy

Keep up your hard work

we’ll get there

Goal weight 150-160
That’s all

april 29th surgery, lost 20 pounds the first 2 weeks and have been stalled at 218-219 ever since. so frustrating. I know stalls are normal, but 2 weeks after surgery? Its killing me. But I keep doing what I should be doing. I track my food, keep protein up and drink water. hopefully ill get a whosh soon.

Mine was the same. It will kick back in. Look up 3 week stall, it’s a thing.

I hopped on the scale this morning and finally made it to Onederland! 199.9 but hey I'll take it! It took nine weeks to get there and I could have never done it without this surgery. I hope all my April surgery brothers and sisters are doing good on on their weight loss journeys. ?

Hi all just a quick update had my 7 week visit yesterday...down 42.5lbs.i have been given the ok to eat normal foods and full exercise. I am so excited. Hope that all my April surgery bros and sisters are doing well. Remember just take it one day at a time.

Pre surgery starting weight: 238
Current weight: 196
Goal weight 140-145

Today was weigh in day and woohoo 199.4. I have not weighed this for over 7 years!!! I am so excited (if you can't tell)

Food is getting easier, I still am having a problem with chicken and eggs. I keep trying chicken but it just tastes off. I bought those little street taco shells and they are great, I can almost eat a whole one (corn) so I feel like I am actually eating a full meal. I still am struggling with eating slow. I have to remind myself to take breaks. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Yes I did! Week 3 I was at the same weight for 4 days, lost a pound and stayed there for another 3 days. I’m averaging about 2 lbs/week, which is excruciating for me, but I have to try and look at the big picture. Stay strong!

Keep at it, a few weeks has passed and as long as it’s on it’s way down. I hope you are feeling well and happy. Take care.

Looks like I'm another slow loser as well. I had hope to be one who could boast about losing 60 lbs in 2 months, but nah. lol. I lost 6 lbs over the last month and 33 lbs altogether. I'll take it (... as if I have a choice ?).

I'll kick cardio up a notch next month.

I hope you’ve been doing well. Write down some non weight achievements!

You’re doing great.

April 8th! Little late posting lol. Anyone else with this date? How are you doing?

@Feeling_Sleevey I was 10th April.

Each week things get easier/better with non weight loss achievements, reflux/heartburn. I’m so happy with what’s gone so far, yet still looking forward to more weight disappearing. I feel so much better, I feel a lot more able to be social.

I so hope everyone is doing well, it’s such a journey and I’m so grateful for this forum.

Take care, many blessings & love.

@Alwzla8 ,, I was thinking the same thing about myself .. I had my sleeve done on 4-10-19 .. I went in at 261 .. I’m currently at 228 , i thought I would have lost more weight by now since the amount of food I’m able to consume is SO small and I’ve started going to the gym about 2 weeks ago .. I’ve read lots about it and turns out losing 30 lbs in 4 to 8 weeks is normal and the mistake I’ve been making is not having enough Water .. just can’t stand drinking plain water ,, but it’s essential in helping the weight go down faster . Stay encouraged and continue on the plan and the weight will start to fall off .. I’m right there with you ??

@BigWill619 so true, excellent response! I hope you’ve been doing well. It’s encouraging to read all the comments, it’s so supportive. Take care.
