Hi guys!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Sept 12th.
I finally weighed myself today (I have avoided the scale and focused on feeling good and getting familiar with my new stomach) and am officially down 50 lbs since my surgery date.
Is that enough weight to have lost so far or should it be more?
I just want to be sure I’m on track. I know I will eventually hit the dreaded “stalls” which is why I don’t really want to be a scale watcher.

I have started to slack off on the super healthy eating I was doing and I’ll tell you what.. that makes me physically feel like crud!
The high Protein, no breads, pastas, sugars, ect diet plus my Multivitamins had me feeling great. Now I’m noticing the icky old feelings creeping back a bit.
The only thing saving me is the literal inability to eat very much at all.
Anyway, rambling aside.. I’m sure I will be able to do well & feel good as long as I get myself back to the good old routine I began after surgery.
I haven’t even begun any form of exercise and I have a desk job.. so that’s another thing that’ll help with more weight loss once I get my Buns moving! 🤣

Love it finally another person who is not jumping up and running to the scale - and is focused on Vitamins and supplements.

Oh i agree you move off the healthy eating to just a little of junk and you feel like hell - I drank Friday and wrecked my whole day yesterday, No eating yesterday, feeling like hell -

As for 50 yes that is great you are about the same as me 3/4 a pound a day. Also I can not eat either it is a pain in the ass to eat and most of times painful

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
