I lost 11lbs in the two weeks before surgery, and then another 21lbs in the one month immediately following surgery. Nobody noticed! But of course, I noticed in terms of clothes getting looser. At my 7 month post op mark (I'm at 10m po now), losing 3 lbs would have others telling me how worried they were for my health. It's all relative. Like the others have said, take pictures. And keep track of your measurements, it's a great motivator down the road ❤️

oh don't mind me coming in a day late lol!! Glad it moved you sounded really uncomfortable. xx

Hi! I too will need a buddy and hope that putting myself here will help that happen. I have my pre-OP apt next Tues! Woohoo! I'm done with all of my appointments! Phewww! I'm still nervous cause I think that this is not real until the day I actually check in for surgery. I hope to have an Oct date and have been going back and forth between the sleeve and bypass. I am already working on mindful eating and the 30/30/30. That is the hardest thing for me so far cause I want to immediately drink water after I eat. Lol Anyhow, I would love to keep on touch with u and wish u well on this amazing journey![emoji4]

I actually feel really hungry at times. I’m 8 days post op and I can’t stop thinking about food. 😣

I'm 35, 355#, 5'10". I currently workout in a gym that does alot of strongman type workouts; yolk walks, atlas stones, log press, farmers carrys, etc.. I'm scheduled to have VSG on September 16 and am realizing I'm worried. Will I be able to do this type of strength training? How badly will it hurt my strength? Maybe its pre op jitters? Anyone else workout like this post op? How long till you can really start doing some lifting? Pre Op 5' 11" #360 >50 BMI

head hunger is a b***h or it was for me any ways and still is cravings suck

I felt the same and it stems from us trying so many other ways to lose and failing. You literally cannot fit much in and as said above things come back up if you over do it. You'll be fine

Lol! Peppermint can be a very strong taste. I don’t care for it much either but anything to help the taste & bad breath! Lol Thank you!

I'm having my surgery on 10/1 and come home 10/4.

Today is your surgery day!! Best and you will return to the lift. Know your goals but remain flexible in the process
