My heaviest weight was 370. In 2010 I had the band installed (such a mistake, waste of time, money and effort IMO) March 10th, 2018 at my Pre-Surgical check in I was 310. March 21st, 2018 at check in for surgery I was 294.4. I had the band removed and revised to the bypass. Today, January 23rd, 2019. 308 days after surgery... I hit a number that I haven't seen in more than 20 years Onederland. I'm down 95 lbs since surgery, 110.6 lbs from pre-surgical. And a staggering 170.6 lbs from my heaviest weight. I need to thank so many people that if I tried, I'd forget someone and then we'd start with the hard feelings. So I'll go with this. Thank you. If you've helped me through this in any way, shape, or form, Thank you.

Speak to her bluntly, tell her the the information is private and It’s not HER information to share. If you chose to let others know, you will. If she has a problem with you or the path you have taken, that’s on her.

Thank you Frustr8. I’m really glad I came across this group. It’s reassuring to see the victories and comforting to have people going thru the process right along with me. Hi Hellosweetie! I feel the same and have no desire to have to discuss it with everyone. (I’m 40, btw) It’s going to be a lot of work and I’d hate to be treated like I took the “easy” way out! We’ve definitely got this! Here we go!

So proud of you!!!!!!!!!

@elcee ahhhh bud, you are smart as you are cute!! at 7+ years, i on occasion will still hiccup, that mean I should stop eating. or i've already had enough. in other words stop when you know you've eaten your portion. if you don't stops , 1,000 whips with a wet noodle (egggggads all those carbs!!)😁 good luck kathy

I’m 2.5 weeks out and haven’t taken any of my meds in over a week! My numbers have been between 70 -130 for the past week. I’m ECSTATIC! I had no idea it would resolve this quickly. I continue to monitor my sugar several times a day but so far so good! Hope you have the same outcome!

I took two weeks off and worked remotely from home for a 3rd week. I definitely needed it and would have taken another week if I could have. I truly think my pain and discomfort came more from my hiatal hernia repair than my bypass. I’m 5.5 weeks post op and back to work like nothing ever happened!

My goodness! You look like a famous actor out and about for the lark! [emoji322]🕺 Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Honestly, I'd very flatly tell her "I've told a very small group of people, this is private information I shared with people I trust, knowing they would not share it with others. I'm asking you not to tell people, and if they ask you directly, tell them you don't know and they'll have to ask me." Give her a line in the sand (I'm not broadcasting and neither should you) and an out (this is exactly what to do if people ask you). Then drop it. This isn't foolproof. She still might tell, and quite frankly she might already have told if she's hinting that "people will know" and she's trying to get out ahead of you hearing about it. But this at least puts all your cards on the table, avoids any question of her being jealous, and frames it entirely as it being your information, your responsibility to share, and your placing of trust in her NOT to tell. Either way, prepare yourself that the information's already been shared and get ready to roll with it. The important thing is that you made a life decision for yourself and you're benefiting from those changes - what people opine about your decisions is about as important as how they feel about your new car or the shade you painted your front room. This impacts them... how? Not? Oh, not, it does not impact them at all, so big whoop about their opinions.

It sounds so silly to me that before my surgery, I would constantly be eating and now, I struggle to even drink my water. Which I know is so unhealthy for my body. I was wondering if any of you guys struggle/struggled with this? I'm so beyond not hungry that I can go the whole day and not have anything. I know setting alarms help, but truth is, it's on my mind to consume things I just don't really want to since I'm not hungry. I am slowly doing better but I wanted to reach out to you guys because well, I don't feel so alone with you guys! I had my surgery Jan 15,2019 and I'm almost 2 weeks post op and about to start the puree stage.
