Weight gain
Arabesque and one other reacted to Tomo for a post in a topic
Ups and down throughout the whole first year is expected. Mainly due to your body adjusting to the surgery and water weight gain too. I'm not sure how much you gained but I can tell you for myself, a 3 to 5 lbs. gain is very common, it is temporary but sometimes lasting 2 weeks, then a big drop in weight follows it. It was a normal thing for me. Still is, actually. -

Food Before and After Photos
GreenTealael and one other reacted to Arabesque for a post in a topic
Twinning! I had steak this week too & was looking forward to it but I overcooked it. Got distracted and … It wasn’t its usual tender juicy goodness. So disappointed. And I made caramelised onions this morning (for the second tart I’m making). Been using my new Kitchen Aid food processor for my prep. I love it. Plus I got it on sale so yay! -
1 point14.7 stone equals 205 lbs. You're what we in the community call a "lightweight", so yea - you're not going to see the huge drops in weight that people who start off weighing twice your weight typically see. You are doing fine. Just keep at it and the weight will come off.

Trimfit
SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to Spinoza for a post in a topic
Hi OP! Lots of us won't know what trimfit is. Or how it would help a post bariatric surgery lifestyle. I think most of us just stick to the plan our surgeons set out. We see greater or lesser losses depending on a number of variables. Please could you provide a link or a clearer description of what it is and what you're hoping to achieve by incorporating it into your plan? -

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
ChunkCat reacted to summerseeker for a post in a topic
My newest NSV. Life is so tough now. I have just caught myself complaining that there is too much choice in the clothing sites online. I used to rage when I could not find clothes in my pre op size. -

Ever changing bra size
BeanitoDiego reacted to noteasierstronger for a post in a topic
If you have a Costco membership, they sell two pack sports bras for $12 or $13. They have no under wire but do have thin pads that help prevent uniboob. They are comfortable. It's what I have been wearing for the last year since surgery. Sent from my Pixel 4a using BariatricPal mobile app -

Ever changing bra size
BeanitoDiego reacted to Jeanniebug for a post in a topic
I wasn't able to wear a bra for a few months. The ones I wore had to be way too big, because I couldn't handle anything putting pressure on my diaphragm. It still bothers me, but it's getting much better. It's really only been in the last month or so that I've been able to wear bras that fit properly. Oddly enough, in some brands I'm now a C and in others I think I might be a B. -

My Gastric Sleeve Journey
learn2cook reacted to NovaLuna for a post in a topic
The approval can take awhile. It took them 3 whole weeks to approve mine so try not to stress if they take their time. Welcome to the site though and wishing you the best on your journey!
