Hey there everyone!

I'm happy to report that 1 week away from my 6 month mark and I have exceeded all goals that I have set for myself to this point. My next goal is to reach 160lbs by the 9 month...

My dr didn't require a preop diet and he actually encouraged me to eat whatever I wanted just not after midnight before surgery. Good luck!

I am about 3.5 months post surgery. I have lost about 52 lbs. i look so different but most people do not know I had surgery and no one has mentioned my weight loss. I think it is bc they are afraid...

I was rolled away on a bed into surgery. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Just questioning whether I was doing the right thing. I've struggled with weight for the past 15...

I didn't go to the bathroom (#2) for 15 days after surgery and that was during my liquid diet phase. I think everyone's body is different. The 2 week liquid diet phase went quickly. I think mainly bc...

Thanks everyone! Great ideas.

Hi all,

I am almost 10 weeks post sleeve. I am curious to know what y'all have as your go to meal when you don't feel like cooking. I am struggling to come up with something easy for dinner...

It finally happened....someone that doesn't know that I had WLS asked me if I have lost weight. That made me more excited than I can tell you. When people know you are working towards a goal they...

Thanks everyone! I do feel better everyday and I want to do things the right way which means to avoid the things that got me into this situation in the first place. I know one day I will be able to...

I have same issue. My doctor recommended miralax (bc it is non habit forming), yogurt with active cultures (activia) or prune juice. Hope this helps.

Evening All!
I am 7 weeks post op. I'm loosing weight. Some weeks are better than others, however, I feel like I've lost my joy. I'm ecstatic about my weight loss. Right on the cusp of "onederland"....

6 weeks ago I had my sleeve surgery. There were days in that first week that I thought I had made a huge mistake. Things are much better now. It definitely takes adjusting your habits and lifestyle....

Hi to all!

I am curious to know on average, how much do yall walk/jog/run each day? I am almost a month post surgery (11/16/15) and I am walking but I am not sure if it is enough. I probably get...

I am the same. Almost a month out and I'm not so much sleepy tired as I am like it takes me forever to do something. Christmas decorating for example...I am on day 4 of trying to get it done but I...

I was scared. I'm still scared almost a month later. Everything is different but at the same time so much better. There is nothing else that could have helped me lose over 20 lbs in a month. Actually...

The tastes changing is so true. I have never sat in front of a bowl of chocolate and didn't feel like I should eat some. I did that last night and didn't even have the desire to do so (I was at a...

As of this evening, I am no longer on liquids. My doctor said I do not have any food restrictions, just need to take very small bites and chew very very well. I am so excited. I'm feeling really good...

Hi there! We had surgery on the same day and I will share my experience and challenges. I too started having diahrea and it was excessive. I called my doctor (bc I was feeling like crap) and he said...

How exactly do they do a leak test? I had my surgery last Monday and I came home the same day. They did my leak test while I was still knocked out from the anesthesia so I do not have a clue what...

Congrats!

So I have had my sleeve for almost an entire week. I wasn't feeling great at first and didn't get any protein in (and not very many fluids)...I do not suggest this to anyone. When I did start feeling...

Update: talked to my Dr. He said the abnormal menstrual cycle is 100% normal. So I feel better about that. Thanks!

Hi,

I am 4 full days out of surgery. I am probably not getting as much protein as I should but I have definitely increased the amount today. I had not had a bowel movement since before surgery and...

We had surgery on the same day in the same city. That's awesome. Good luck on your journey!

Hi to all!

I had my surgery on Monday. I can't say it has been a wonderful experience. I've been in a lot of pain the past few days but hopefully the worst is behind me. I actually got out of bed...
