I'd give you a big ole hug right now if I could! People say wls is the easy way out.. They couldn't be further from the truth! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Summerset I have good and bad days.. This past week I haven't really been able to manage much, for my lunch I had 4 teaspoons of salmon and was full. But other days I can eat a whole mini fillet. It just depends.. Don't judge yourself on other people's experiences. Everybody's journey is different! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My weigh in was today, 226.2 !!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yaaaaaas I can't wait! Wasn't keen on the lemonade album but I'm sure there will be some classics thrown in! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Go back to basics Alf, under 40 carbs per day, low fat, high Protein foods. The weight gain is coming from the foods that you must be eating.. Watch what you put into your body, get an app like my fitness pal and monitor everything. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I weighed myself daily, then got depressed during stalls so now I weigh myself monthly. Do what feels right for you. There is no rule book. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For some reason most people (mainly from the us) keep mentioning 6 months.. It must be what they advise over there, my doctor advised 6 weeks.. And I'm going to see beyonce on the 5th of July and I absolutely will be drinking with no fear. I'll do a trial run a few days prior to see what I can handle.. But I'd just ask your doctor.

Hey loves, just had my weigh in.. THE STALL IS OVER BIG TIME 231.4.. 6 pounds lost this week omg! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today's weight 237.6 sorry I weigh Friday's not Monday's so I'll be posting on Fridays Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Be careful.. Working out more then you're eating could lead to problems and could be why you're not losing? Strange I know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I stalled after 1 week and losing 14 Pounds.. About to weigh myself today and I know I'll still be in the stall! Everyone goes through it, it's like the initiation stress test haha. You think you're the only one and you'll stay fat forever.. Just remember "this too shall pass" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all, I was sleeved on the 26th of May.. Sw was 250 and I'm now 237.. Has anybody else found themselves obsessed with weight loss and doing all they can to get it down? For the past week I've been walking 7 miles per day and I've been really focusing on how much Protein I'm taking in etc, but I've only lost 1 pound since Friday.. and it's starting to stress me out. I'm getting emotional because I really, really feel this pressure from people around me and myself to see excellent results and at the moment it's just not happening for me as quick as others. Please don't judge me, I just really need support right now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I called up and spoke to the support team with the private clinic I used, and they have advised me that they don't believe in a 'starvation mode' and I can excersize as much as I want and that it will help.. Even if I'm eating less calories then I'm burning from my 7 mile walks. I've promised to not step on the scales until Friday, and continue doing what I'm doing.. I told her she better be right otherwise I'll be storming down to her clinic to raise hell haha. I've been down all day over it, I don't know why I even weighed myself I was feeling fantastic.. And I should be thankful it's pound down.. Not gained, and I've had days where I lose two in one day, I haven't had a bm, I could be bloated.. Could be many things. Thank you for the advice dub and lipstick, honestly it's been a great help ❤️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well atleast im not alone there, maybe it's a common thing for week two to not be as forgiving! You're right though, it's truly not a quick fix Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, I think i get too caught up in other peoples success stories and it makes me put pressure on myself.. It's not even been two weeks yet and prior to surgery I'd be lucky to lose two pounds in a week.. So I get it. It just doesn't seem to want to stick in my mind. Everybody has a different story with different advice and sometimes it's hard to know what I'm supposed to do. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I didn't even think of that.. So you think maybe the exercise im doing vs the calories I'm taking in is leaving me at a deficit which is slowing down the weight loss? Wow I'm just beyond frustrated, I have never wanted to be more active in my life and now I'm potentially being punished for it =\ I had the quickest recovery, honestly I've had zero problems and came off painkillers and meds day two, I've been in no pain ever since even all of my incisions have scabbed up, fallen off and I just have the smallest scars now. Lucky in that sense but.. I don't know, ergh I'm just frustrated because I'm being more health and weight concious than ever and not being rewarded Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's amazing well done! ❤️❤️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor recommended I freeze pineapple juice in ice cubes to get rid of the white tongue, try it - it works. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well it's officially 7 days since my surgery last Thursday.. I came off my pain medication day 3 because I didn't like the way it made me feel. No pain, my scabs have almost all fallen away to reveal tiny neat little scars (all except the furthest left) and it's almost as if the surgery didn't happen. The only thing I'm having trouble with, is realising that the decision i made to have this surgery was a little.. Quick. I'm 29 and I paid for my surgery myself.. Privately, so within the space of 1 month of deciding I wanted the surgery, I had the procedure. I kinda feel like I'm not myself anymore, I didn't realise how much my life revolved around food from the moment I woke up to the moment I slept, I kinda miss it.. But I do know ultimately this was the best decision, I just maybe need to get new hobbies or something Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good for you! If I've lost 56 pounds in 2 Months I'll be a very happy bunny Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is such a great idea, count me In! Current weight; 242 Goal weight 222 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In the uk I don't think we have any form of leak test. I was discharged next afternoon without having to drink this liquid you all speak of! Guess I was lucky? Ha Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Lmfao I recommend taking some liquid laxatives or something, I was concerned too, took those and next day bm were fine.. After that I've been going once daily without any help! Yep! I've not been 242 pounds for a good two years! Desperate to shed those 42 pounds by Christmas!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yesterday was a really hard day for me, I was upset because the head hunger had hit me hard and I hadn't weighed myself so although I only got sleeved on the 26th, I felt like I was doing this all for nothing. Then this morning I decided to weigh myself, just to see. I've lost 10.5 pounds in just 5 days. That has motivated me beyond belief and given me that big push I needed to realise that I can do this!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow that's amazing! Don't you dare stop girl, you look incredible. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
