2 pointsI’m doing quite well. I was 222 on October 1 and I was 167.5 today. My goal was to hit 155 that I now feel confident that I will hit. So 54.5 lbs down. I am 5’6” and now I have a BMI of 27. I started with a BMI of 35. I may lower the goal when I get there but I’m not sure how that will look at 55 years old. I feel so much better than I did in July at my first appointment. I was 228 then so technically I am down 61 since the summer. How are YOU doing?

Ha, mine said I should have died a year and half ago! Ironically that is around the date I started researching my options and discovered this thing called "Gastric Sleeve" that I had never even heard of before August of 2018 which is when it said I should have expired. Now it gives my until September 2048. I'd say that's a huge improvement for what it's worth! Instead of dying at 43 I should make it to 73. Yes!!! -
1 pointit's due to all the IV fluids. I've heard of people gaining up to 10 lbs from them. They should be mostly (if not all) gone by the end of the first week, so your weight will start heading down.

Nipping the slide in the bud

Awesome! This is my life. I IF 5 days a week and ADF with caloric restriction 2-3 days a week in order to stay within my 5lb window! This morning was 132.6lbs so having a lighter day and want to head back toward 130 for the weekend! Congrats on finding a solution and taking off 3.5lbs! Woot! Come join us over on the IF thread! -
1 pointI hear about gall bladder issues once in awhile on these boards, but I don't know how common it is. I would say most of us haven't had those.

1 pointIf you're going to have fruits this early, I'd recommend berries and/or kiwi. These are lower sugar/glycemic index fruits.
