I've lost 60lbs so far, as of this morning, woo! It hasn't been 6 months yet, so I'm going to hold off on the poll until it's closer to the 26th.

I have lost 56 pounds (pounds sounds so much better than kgs!!)

I have to say i am pleased with my results so far.

When i first had my surgery done i decided i wanted to lose 77 pounds by xmas ... at this rate, that will be well achieved by that date.

i went shopping today, brought some lovely new clothes (well i go shopping often now) however as i was trying them on i was so certain that the sizing must have been wrong haha ... it was like ... there is no way i should fit this size! Great feeling!!!

Good morning everybody. Congratulations on the great losses I see. You are all doing well. My weight is very slow going now but is moving in the right direction. I have had trouble with reflux for the past 3 weeks. I met my Doctor at the hospital last Monday for a looksee under the fluroscope. He thought he would have to do a slight unfill but was amazed to find out I was really very open. He also checked out my esophagus and found nothing out of the ordinary. So he prescribed a soluable Prevacid and said no steak, no bread, no raw veggies and fruits. The raw stuff was really giving me problems even though they were small bites chewed well. I also seem to be having problems with tomatoey stuff. Actually, the reflux is something I have dealt with my entire life. Luckily I am not hungry between meals and I am not eating more than 1/2 to 1 cup of food. I have to get things to settle down before I will attempt another fill. As long as the scale moves downward I am happy. I have the rest of my life to get off my remaining weight. I am so much more mobile than before I started dieting 16 months ago. I actually went outlet shopping the other day with friends and walked the entire day. We were gone 7 hours. Three months ago I would have had to use my scooter. That's improvement.

I have very exciting news! I am in ONEderland!!!! I cannot believe that I have lost 50 pounds since the surgery. There is no way I am going back. I feel GREAT! Blood sugar is normal....I can walk around the block without the hip pain I used to feel....I can cross my legs....People compliment me every day. This is an amazing tool. Sometimes I HATE my band...but what it has done for me is something I could never do for myself. God knows I tried so many times. I feel like I'm just starting to live!!!

Hot damn!

I am also so glad I had it done. It is a pain sometimes when I really want to eat something and cant. But it is such a great feeling seeing the weight come off for good.

Way to go. I can only imagine how good that must feel. I am slowly counting down to Onderland myself. I have a ways to go though. I hope to be there by mid to late summer.

This has been a good week. I have lost 3 pounds in the past 7 days. The Prilosec is working - no more heartburn. I also am trying to be very conscious of how much I am eating and chewing. The doctor said I was wide open but I am only eating about a cup a meal and I am not hungry between meals. I will wait for a 3rd fill until I stop losing or get hungry.

Making good food choices is not a problem for me.

Congratulations on making it to onederland! It just started to hit me that I may be there soon. I have 16 pounds to go before I'm there. I don't think I've been in the 100s since I was like 12. Agh!

Katie, I have 14 pounds to go. Maybe we can work on it at the same time. I want to Celebrate when I get there and I haven't thought of an appropriate celebration yet.

I lose fairly slowly Katiebug but this week I have lost 4 pounds, a pound a day the past 3 days. Who'd have thunk it. I have set a goal of 8/1/08 to reach Onderland. What do you think? I now have 13 pounds to go.

I posted in the six months, should have been five. I was thinking in terms of months and not surgery dates. Sorry. So far, 47lb. loss with 5 month bandiversary on the 18th. Hopefully 60lb. loss by July 18th.

Everyone is doing so well. Keep up the good work.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
