I got sleeved June 6th 2016. On surgery day I weighed in at 345 pounds! Today July 21st 2016 I currently weigh 288! So that's 57 pounds in 6 weeks! Not bad My surgeon was very surprised and happy with my results. But I told him I do 4 miles of cardio everyday! The surgery is great, but it's what you do after that really makes the difference! I hope you all are having a great weight loss journey! And for those in the process of getting it, I hope this gave you some motivation! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for the feedback! Well to update this post...I'm now 1 month post op and I currently weigh 299! So I actually lost 14 more pounds since I posted this! Yes I was panicking for no reason I was 343 when I got the surgery so I've lost 44 in the first month! So I'm very happy about that! If anyone recently got the surgery done and is freakin out like I was, DONT! The weight will drop Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They weighed me at the hospital right after surgery on Monday and I was 335 pounds! Now Fri morning I'm 318 I'll take that lol I'm sure once I start the exercising it will come off quicker. I'm 6'3 so my goal weight isn't too far away! I'm glad I made this decision! And you should be to Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

6-8 pounds a week???? Holy crap! I'm 2 weeks out! The first week I lost 34 pounds. After that I haven't lost anything Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How long ago did you get the surgery? And how much have you lost in total? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App How much Protein are you getting? You may not be eating enough if you are exercising alot. Less calories don't necessarily mean weight loss.Im only 2 weeks out so I haven't been exercising Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I was put on soft foods on Monday. It was probably the best day of my life I've been eating refried Beans with shredded cheese, turkey chili, low fat cheese sticks, mashed potatoes with no problem! I do get full fast but the food goes down with no problem! I was afraid I would have problems eating but I've been great so far! If you're still on liquids, don't be discouraged! It gets way better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 days post op and I didn't think I would be so hungry this soon! I'm starting to think this was the biggest mistake I've ever made Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel your pain girl! I've been so hungry so on day 7 post op I snapped and ate some hummus! But I was only able to eat so little before I got full! I didn't feel sick but I did feel very full Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Man I feel like I'm so hungry and the liquid isn't doing it for me anymore! Did anyone else feel this way less than a week after surgery? Im so tempted to eat something puréed but I'm scared lol I don't think 1 egg will hurt Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You just made my day Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank You! I hope you're right Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you very much! It really means a lot Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been drinking Protein Shakes, water, broth, sugar free Popsicles and crystal light! I'm on day 5 and I don't have to sip one ounce anymore. I can drink it in 1 shot. Maybe it's just in my mind but I feel like the liquid isn't doing it for me anymore. I can't wait until next week so I can eat some pureed foods Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery for the gastric sleeve is this coming Monday. As most people I'm a little nervous. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks they can give me so that my first week after surgery is a little easier! Thank you in advance Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My gas pains and nausea really sucked the day of surgery and the next day! I was throwing up and had really bad hiccups! But the 2nd day after surgery was MUCH better! And today 5 days post op I'm starving! Lol I think I'm ready to eat Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great! It is cool to see the numbers on the scale drop rapidly. Just keep in mind that none of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience slow downs and stalls. Just about everyone stalls about three weeks after surgery. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. Don't let a stall derail you. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. Exercise when cleared. And, Embrace the Stall http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall. You're 1000% right girl! I know the stall will come as it does in every weight loss journey! I'm just happy I'm seeing results But your advice is spot on Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
