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 ❤️

I'm scheduled for my sleeve at BB on 10/9! I have a friend who had hers done there in Feb of this year. Said the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I was skeptical too. So far, they have been super easy to work with. I also did the fast track program. The only thing I'm nervous about is the flight home and not having easy access to my surgeon if there are any complications. Please share your progress/experience with me as I'm looking to find friends who have also been sleeved here! <3

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. 😣

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

That's what I'm thinking as well... I believe my cousin has an h.m.o. that won't cover WLS, so she'll be full cash pay. Sounds like I might have to start Gov g her info on MX. I personally had nothing less than an outstanding experience there, but as with anything unknown, totally understand the fear. I know you'll do great! 👍 Sending well wishes. 😊

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

I'm 2 months out and still take my Omeprazole daily. I also had severe GERD prior to surgery.

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!

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