205.4 Woo hoo! I love being a loser!

@@kimmyco you look great! How much have you lost total and how long did it take? Did you have the sleeve? How much do you exercise? Did you have excess skin? Lol sorry for all the questions. I'm 6 weeks post op and want to look like you when I get to goal!

208 today! Yes it's going down. Slowly but I'll take it.

Light mini babybel cheese! Yummy! Cream cheese. Sorrento cheese sticks. Laughing cow cheese. Love my cheeses !

Checking in. 209.8. Not a huge loss but I'll take it. Good luck everyone!!

I've been on soft foods for a week. I have another week to go. Then regular food. I need some variety. Please let me know your successful meals on soft foods. I see my surgeon for my 1 month appointment on June 1st. He wanted me to lose 10 more pounds. I've lost 5 lbs. Need ideas on how to get rid of the next 5 in a week. I've been in this stall for 2 weeks. I get in 60g minimum of Protein and 64 oz of liquids. Thanks.

Woo hoo!

@@provenzee how far out are you?

I had my one month follow up with my surgeon today! Wow I can't believe it's been a month! He said I've done a great job and released me to workout and onto regular foods! I'm down 24lbs from surgery date! I haven't measured myself but my clothes are looser. He gave me a goal of losing another 25lbs in 8 weeks. I know I can do that!! I asked him what I could do to move things along and he said to workout / exercise more often. Honestly I haven't done any walking other than for work or grocery shopping. So getting to the gym and on a regular exercise routine I should see better results! Not that I'm not happy with my results so far! This is the best decision I've ever made. My blood pressure is back to normal range! I'm off my cholesterol medicine! Looking forward to feeling even better than I do now and being Fit and Fabulous!! #noregrets #mytimeasacaterpillarhasexpiredmywingsareready Keep up the good work everyone! I do have a question about starting on regular foods. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be trying ? I already eat fish, chicken, beef. I want to try different things. Can I have bacon?? Mmmm bacon

I'm one month post op and I have none! My experience with the pre op diet wasn't bad. It was for one week with 2 shakes and a healthy meal. My night in the hospital wasn't too bad either. Pain was managed with drugs! I had no gas pains in my shoulder fortunately. Just some discomfort which a heating pad helped. Overall my experience has been great! I feel great! I'm losing weight and I'm off my meds! Best decision ever! #noregrets

@@Suga Renique Reborn it's wait 30 minutes after drinking before eating , don't take more than 30 minutes to eat , and wait 30 minutes after you eat to drink.

I never had those gel bites. Are they liquid? Yes I drink vitamin water zero. I love it! Lemonade and XXX are my favorite. I do use unflavored powder in my jello and pudding. Good luck! See you on the losers bench! I was sleeved 5/2 and have no regrets!

Good luck! See you on the losers bench! You can do this. It will be the best decision you've ever made! #noregrets

Walk around. That helps work it down. Just be careful what you choose to eat at 2 weeks. This could cause a leak if food gets stuck in your staples.

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench. I had surgery on 5/2. It will get easier ! Work on getting in your fluids and then proteins. The scale will vary the first week but then it goes down. I'm 22 lbs down. Good luck.

Starting weight 210 goal weight 195 I'm in the actively losing weight category surgery was 5/2! Feeling great!

Send me your email address and I can add you. It's a private group so you need an invite from a member.

I'm single and am waiting to date until after I've reached my goal. I haven't hold many people about my surgery (5/2). I do think that I'll wait to see if the man I'm with had potential to be someone long term. Scars I'm not worried about. They usually don't ask. Lol. I had a lump removed from my right breast which left a nice scar. Never heard a comment. So don't worry about that stuff. Your confidence will be so high after you reach goal. You'll know who to tell and who not to. But know your worth being with someone who won't judge you.

@@susanh14 I use unjury have to order online.

I had surgery on 5/2 ! Yay! I'm feeling great! I have a BBQ I'm attending on Sunday and will be on regular food. What do you recommend for me to eat? I'm thinking chicken and veggies will be my go to. What about potato salad? This will definitely be a test. I would usually drink wine and beer and graze on everything. I'll be changing my habits. I haven't told anyone about surgery. But am open to it if they ask. There is a pool, so I think I'll plan on being in the pool or laying on a lounge chair soaking in the sun. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks

I'm in. Will post my weights on Monday I'll be one month post op on June 1. This will be great motivation to stay focused. I'll be going on a girls weekend trip from 7/8-7/11

@@Inner Surfer Girl oh I didn't even think about the incisions. I think they are all healed. No scabs. They were glued. Hmm. Maybe I should ask my surgeon.

@@Inner Surfer Girl my NUT said 60-90g. She said not to use the premiere protein shakes because should only have 20-25g per meal. I'm trying to find a RM shake I like. Most days I do get in more than 60g

I'm in the exact same spot! I've been the same weight for 2 weeks. Down 20lbs. Surgery was 5/2. It's frustrating.

Thanks everyone! She doesn't read about the surgery, doesn't watch any videos and isn't on this forum. I honestly dont think she could have gotten this far without me. But you are right. I'm focusing on myself. It's my journey and I plan on being successful!! I mentioned that frozen yogurt even though sugar free wasn't a good choice and she didn't know why. I can't keep trying to educate her. I'll just educate by being an example of how to do this right. My time as a caterpillar has expired. My wings are ready!
