I threw up for my 1st time at 7 weeks! Not sure why, maybe over ate? Mine was just mucous. No chunks of food. Was really weird. I got really bad indigestion. So I started taking medicine for it and it hasn't happened again.

I'm with u sister! Lol I never over ate. It was just the goods I ate were bad. lol

I won't touch it. My sister had bypass and didn't give it up... She gained all of her weight back. Stretched her stomach back out. Dr. Said that was why! So no no no carbonation fory sleeved tummy.

I am 6 weeks PO and only down 33lbs total. And I had an extremely high BMI. (53) im on 4'11" and started out at 275. So your weight loss is great! Keep your head up!

I use my fitness pal, and an actual weight tracker app i down loaded. U are supposed to weigh daily with that... Well that got a bit frustrating. Lol I'm 6 weeks out of surgery and had a 3 week stall. I'm down 33 pounds total now.

U look amazing!

Yes. I go down a whole size usually.

How exciting!!!

So what is an average calorie intake for u guys? I am struggling. I have cut out sugars, carbs, and starches. and I am finding it very difficult to hit calorie goals. For the most part I am hitting protein goals. I still struggle with my water intake. I pushed myself to hit 700 calories yesterday. And I was down a pound today. But normal days I'm lucky to hit 500. Since my 3 week stall, I'm only down 2 pounds. Putting my total loss at 31 pounds. (Which I'm very pleased with) I just feel like I'm missing something! I want to do this the right way!

good. I'm 6 weeks out and that's about where I am I'm only down 33 pounds but I still feel great!

Your NOT alone. I am 6 weeks PO and I have only lost 30. 10 of which was pre-op diet. I haven't really lost in 3 weeks. A pound or 2. That's Ok! Our bodies are still in shock and adjusting to our new calorie intake. Drink drink drink water and push protein. U will jump over this hurdle. As will I

I just want to rock any outfit I choose that day

Good luck to you! And welcome.

I have had zero complications too I do feel restriction or I would swear he didn't do anything. Lol

I can't seem to push past 32 pounds. Lol I try not to get frustrated. I know it will come. And I feel great. So that's the important part. I'm about a week or so ahead of u at 10/23

You are doing FANTASTIC!!!

My Dr told me I would most likely lose 75% of my excess body weight. I started out at 275 pounds. I am only 4'11.5. My BMI was 53!!! So 75% of 145 pounds of excess body weight. So close to 100 pounds. Of course anyone can exceed expectations. But they can also fall short. You still need to exercise, and make healthy eating choices.

KUDDOS to you!!!!

God love ya! Keep at it girlie. U CAN do this.

I was surprised at the fluctuation too. But maybe some cases are different. My surgeon says your body needs the nutrition from food so he pushes for that. I think a month of liquids is insane personally. Not much nutritional value in broth.

Clear liquid 1 day PO Full liquids 10-14days as tolerated Mash/soft 10-14 days as tolerated. At 1 month PO I was on my forever diet. I'm 5.5 weeks out and can eat anything now.

I was sleeved on the 23rd of October

I'm struggling jumping over my 31 pound mark. I'm 5 weeks PO and the past 2 weeks have been reeeeaaaal slow. Hoping to overcome it. Increased protein yesterday. Hoping to see a number drop. But I still feel great so no complaints!

I also use my fitness pal. Everyday! I had zero down time with my surgery. I was up and going the day of my release. I did try to take it easy but could do everything independently. I didn't even take pain medication. Good luck to you with your journey!

Hahaha I see I said you "guys" I just meant that as a general statement. Lol ☺️ but as a woman losing 30 pounds helps that department too!
