We are exactly the same weight on our surgery date, and have very similar weight loss. We should keep in touch for sure. Sleeved July 18th @ 209 Today: 154 and moving slow the last 3 weeks

You look fantastic!

I have it REALLY bad, and never had it before surgery. It is so bad sometimes I wake up literally choking on acid. I am 4 months post op. not trying to scare you, but I want you to know it is a real PITA and not just something that requires medicine. Even with medicine (PPI) it is still there.

It is frustrating to see someone post that they lost FORTY pounds in 8 weeks and they are sad. That is 5 pounds a week...impossible without this surgery.

Hi guys! I am almost 4 months out and my scars are pretty dark. How long did it take for yours to lighten? Is this normal?

How far out are you guys that can hardly see them?

This is a bit upsetting to me. The ticker documented my weight loss from my date of surgery. Surely there is a way to get back to document it? Very inconsiderate for you to remove this without notice. Also, the slowness of the load time probably has a whole lot more to do with the massive amount graphic heavy advertisements plastered all of the boards. NINE + on this page alone.

Thanks, I will try both!

So they deleted my ticker, without notifying me. This is where I tracked my weight loss. Is there a way to access it still to copy the info? I sure hope so...

Here is my first LBD. 3 1/2 months in. Hopefully my LBD turns into a too big black dress

I had a big indent, and at 3 1/2 months post op it has went away and is the same as the others.

Looking GREAT!

Pre-op I was 213, in this photo I was 158ish.

Way to go!

Before and during - pre-op and 3 months out.

So, I suffer from VERY heavy periods. I was scheduled to have ablation done in December, but my last (3rd period since surgery) was NORMAL and not heavy. In fact, it was really light. Has anyone else noticed changes here? I know this could be temporary considering my body has completely changed, but does anyone have any input that is farther out than me? (only 3 1/2 months)

Thanks for the feedback guys. Maybe it was a fluke.

213 to 157. 56 pounds gone for good! Sleeved July 18th

Just curious if anyone else loses like me..I am just over 3 months out. I lose nothing for 10ish days at a time, then lose a pound a day for 4-5 days then back to nothing for 10ish days with no real difference in eating or exercise. Anyone else?

I ask because I am afraid I am going to stop having those weight loss days.

At my heaviest, 213 and today at 161. Size 16 to size 8. Sleeved 7/18/12

A little lose skin on my arms and on my belly, but I am only just under 3 months post op (will be 3 months on the 18th) my stomach already was in bad shape from 3 pregnancies and all my excess weight...so I will almost certainly need skin removal there once I meet goal, just because there is not good skin there to elasticize.

You look FANTASTIC! Congratulations on your SUCCESS!

I am always curious what people were eating and their portion sizes are at X many months. I thought I would share my dinner from tonight. I am just about 3 months post op. I should note this is on a small plate. I put the regular dinner plate under it for reference. Tonight's dinner is 1/4 of a stuffed chicken, asparagus and one tablespoon of cottage cheese. I ate most of this with the exception of 1 asparagus and a bite or 2 of chicken. Show us what you eat!
