Lets stay in touch guys, if there is a forum for us already please point me to it, otherwise, I'll start: Surgery date: 10/23/13 Highest weight: 283 Surgery weight: 277 Current weight: 271 (1week post op) Pre op meds vs post op meds: type 2 diabetes pre op-2 insulins 2 pills/ post op-1 pill only 1/2 the pre surgery dose- still on high cholesterol meds but I suspect that will change after my pcp follow up. I am struggling to not get on the scale until my 2 wk post op, 3 days to go I'll keep you guys posted. Gas/constipation is my biggest complaint. Getting down all of my liquids and Protein is my biggest struggle. Staying positive is my biggest accomplishment.... VSG ON 3....1 2 3 VSG!!!! Let's get it!!!!

I'm 5'8" my ideal weight is 185 I would be comfortable with 200 but how can we turn the weight lost off once we get to our own goal? I don't want to keep losing I'm 10 weeks post op and am already halfway to goal with losing 43 lbs. Where and when does it end?

Hello everyone !!! I hope all is well or at least getting there. I know it's been a little ruff for many of us getting used to our new norm, but we'll be just fine... I'm looking forward to Spring already by then I would love to be 60lbs lighter and I'm already halfway there in one month....My husband and I are planning on renewing our vows in Vegas and spending our 10 yr wedding anniversary in Costa Rica so I'm looking forward to doing some shopping for clothes to fit my new body... I'm so excited and that's motivating me.. Even though my weight lose has stalled a little you know that 3 week stall everyone dreads and on top of that I think for us females that still get our monthly, we don't loose much during that week either. What I am excited about is shedding 9 1/2 inches in 3 weeks yaaayyy!!! #Stay motivated guys

One mine progress headshot. I can see the difference

Your shape looks nice I can't wait to get there to the point of looking like I actually have a shape and your hubby looks awesome. You both should be proud!!!

Thanks wonderful progress!!! I love to hear the good stuff

Ok cool are you a Ravens fan? Lol

I'm sad to hear your going through that I hope it gets better really soon for you. I feel borderline dehydrated on top of that I have this nasty cold it's been a week and I just can't seem to shake this. I usually would be sick for maybe two days but never this long it's like my immune system has changed since surgery and so has my period...I feel like an alien????

We are so parallel right now good job on your progress. I also only weigh on Wednesday morn. I am just happy to not be on 11 diff meds and am looking forward to being able to see my feet when I look down not lookin to look like Tyra banks either.

Thank you. Question? Are they calcium carbonate or calcium citrate and do they contain D? I was advised to not use carbonate but it's hard to find in a chewable.

Just finished my 30 min walk for the day

I'm gonna make the best of this 68 degree weather today in Md Going walking around the lake my goal is 1 mile.. Motivated

Absolutely!!! I hate the texture of grounded meat so it's hard to find Protein and the shakes are no longer my favorite go to it takes me so long to drink 10-12 oz.. I imagine it will get better for us...

Thank you

Any suggestions on Calcium supplements that I can find over the counter preferably but if I must order I will ? I'm taking liquid form by Wellese and I can't bare it anymore not another drop.

It's when someone tried to use an emoji or smiley face... The forum doesn't support certain characters

2 week post op appt new weight is drum roll........ 264 lbs Down 19 lbs Can you say happy camper????

Wow October Sleevers, we have had so much great progress, I hope to continue to hear from you all and can't wait until our Surgiversary dates!!! I wish each of you the very best and hope that all of our complications become much easier to deal with...

Excellent results Therese Bell!! VSG BABY!! LETS GET IT ????

You can do it. That's an excellent goal!!!

I'm wondering if that's normal during that time for us women. I would suggest weighing in like once a week taunting yourself daily or every few days can be discouraging...hopefully after your monthly visit you will bounce bk...pls update on that I'm a little curious...good luck
