I can't wait to be able to play with the grand kids and be able to take them places. Without crutches. and not being in pain all the time.

Well my surgery was on October 6 and from that day I was 456.8 pounds and I weighed myself today and I am 402.4 pounds so I have lost 54.4 already I feel great about that Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

LOL! You're all good. One of the nice things about bariatric surgery is the instant gratification (or almost anyway.) When I hear of people losing like 100 pounds in 3 months and even getting to goal weight in 6-8, I am getting eager to get going.

In a weird way, it is possible.. but it's only because the body can now pause and work on healing (now that it's getting some materials to build with). This might be the key to the notorious "3 week stall" that it seems everyone has... the first 2 weeks are just liquids and the third week has a bit more substance.

1100 is quite a lot for a female in the weightloss phase I personally think. But clearly its working for you as you've lost a lot! Amazing

Having surgery on Tuesday too!! Been on full liquids for 11 days. No veggies or meat allowed. Shakes and broth with a bit of non fat Greek yogurt.

On day 11 here. Surgery is on Tuesday. I am having a double, large abdominal hernia and the sleeve. Tones bullion has gotten me this far. I only started eating yogurt on Friday. It’s a real treat. Good luck everyone!!

No I have not had any type of bariatric related surgery. My gastric bypass the schedule for January 23, 2018. I’ve had heart surgery in the past and hernia repair is well a few other things I had a hysterectomy in 2013 due to cancer. I wish that I had thought that bariatric surgery was and option for me back then because I may not have had some of those surgeries anyway. But I can’t live in the past I have to look towards the future so as of now bariatric surgery the beginning of 2018 and hopefully much better health moving forward.

Make sure you are drinking enough water or liquids. If water is hard to drink try crystal light lemonade. Make sure you are at least walking every day if not exercising. Also make sure if you are eating it is the majority of protein in your diet, and definitely don’t go over your calorie restriction. My group of buddies was told to intake 60 grams of protein a day. The only other thing is you can become “backed up” even though you have not been eating a lot. So, miralax or the generic is what doctors recommend, just to follow the directions. Hope that helps! Good luck.

My approval letter has an expiration date written on it. I got approved in October only valid until January. Maybe call your insurance company to check. That would suck to have to go through everything again.
