Wanted to share. Almost 7 months post op. 107 pounds lost. [ATTACH]18507[/ATTACH]

101 lbs down. 6 months post op [ATTACH]17645[/ATTACH]

4 months out. Down 79 pounds!! [ATTACH]14833[/ATTACH]

Hoping I could offer some encouragement. I am 4 months post op today and I honestly have no regrets, except that I didn't get sleeved sooner. I'm down 73 lbs, and about 30 inches overall. I have so much more energy. I work out 3-5 times a week. I have had a really good experience overall. I did have some early issues with dehydration but it was my fault...not drinking enough. I have only thrown up a few times. I'm eating normal, but healthy foods. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror! Its such a great feeling and I'm loving the changes. I still have a long ways to go! The apprehension is normal, but trust me, its worth it.

I live in Hartsville, SC! Just had my 3 month follow up and I've lost 64 lbs total!

Had my 3 month check up today. Down 64 lbs, 25 inches and 5 sizes.

Dr. Heider did my sleeve on Feb 25. He is wonderful!

I was sleeved in NC in February but live in SC! Down 63 lbs since start of my pre op diet. Would be great to have a SC support system!!

Anyone have any suggestions for how to track work out videos on MFP? I'm doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and don't know how to log my exercisen

299.5 when I started pre op diet on 2-5. Sleeved on 2-25. Current weight 250.2.

I'm 6 weeks post op and for the past 2 days, I've been so weak, no energy and very dizzy and lightheaded every time I stand up, to the point where I feel like I may pass out. Anyone else experience this?

It was dehydration. Ended up on an exam table hooked up to IVs today for 7 hours. No fun.

I am experiencing car sickness as well at 3 weeks out.

I'm three weeks post op and just cleared for pureed stage yesterday, so at this point, I'm still sipping most of my calories through liquids. However, I can only get in 1 to 1.5 bottles of water a day. I feel like I sip all day long and it takes me 3-4 hours to finish one bottle. Any suggestions??

Sleeved 2-25. Down 24 total. 16 pre op and 8 since surgery. I'm a little discouraged with only 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I will admit that I'm having trouble getting all if my required calories and protein in.

I'm one week post op. doing okay but having a hard time getting in all my liquids. Started my bariatric vitamins yesterday and they make me so nauseated. Anyone else having issues?

I go in tomorrow at 7. I'm excited, nervous, anxious!

Surgery on Monday...getting nervous. Very scared. Any input on what to take with me??

I'm on day 4 of pre ope diet. 3 protein shakes, 1 protein bar and 1 broth, plus 1 sugar free jello a day. Days 1-3 weren't bad, but today is horrible. I'm an emotional wreck....not actually hungry so I know its a head game, but oh so frustrating.

3 week liquid diet starts 2-5. Surgery 2-25!! Excited, but nervous!

Hi! I'm Jessica! My records were sent to the insurance today for approval. Now, the waiting game begins. I'm so ready....hoping to have surgery by the end of February.

Good luck! I was approved today!

Approved!!!!!!

I was approved today...final appointment Monday, EGD Tuesday....hopefully having surgery 2-18 which means 2 week pre op liquids start Monday 2-4.
