    Sleeved 2/23/17!

    Unfortunately yes. I was sleeves 11/17 and by thanksgiving it was like torture!!!
  2. Anybody recommend any good pre-workouts? I need something to give me an extra boost when I'm feeling sluggish before working out. But don't want to take just anything.

    3 months post op!!!

    Thank youuu! Being nervous iscompletely normal! But you will be just fine. So excited for you!
  4. My birthday happened to fall around me being 2 montha post op. I actually went to a woline loft to celebrate and did just fine. I hadpre the one glass and wasn't even close to being drunk. I def don't do it often. I think at a certain point its about experimenting and sssing what works for you. But I'm glad everythinf went well for you!
  5. This entire time I've been beating myself up because I feel like I either haven't lost as much as I feel as though I should have...or I'm not seeing enough changes. And then I compare pictures like this! Slowly but surely I'm getting there!!! About 10lbs more until I get to my short term goal! HW: 274 SW: 262 CW: 232 VGS: 11/17/16

    Kind of bummed

    The same thing happened to me...I was schedules for the 15th of November and they called me the day before saying they had to reschedule for the 17th. Soo sorry your delay threw such a monkey wrench in your plans! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Is This Thing Working?

    Trust me you are not alone! I was sleeved 11/17 and as of last week I'm down only 14lbs...which I've seen people lose in like a week. Also same as above...I feel like I'm constantly hungry and can almost eat just about anything (haven't eaten anything crazy lol) but don't get discouraged and don't delete the app. I know it's hard not to compare yourself to others but just know there's many people on this app who are going through or have gone through the same thing we are. I know eventually it'll all be worth it! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  12. That's the one thing that gets us...comparing ourselves to others. Remember everyone loses weight at a different pace. As stated above as long as you're losing you're good! Especially if he didn't give you a specific amount. Don't sweat it! You'll be fine! Best of luck! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Notify poll

    I got papers from my insurance company in the mail saying that everything had been approved. Then my surgeons office called to set up the actual date if the procedure. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Scared

    I'm literally in the exact same position. I'll be a month out this Thursday and so far including pre op I lost 25lbs. I too feel like it's slower than what I expected but I'm not going to stress over it. Also I try to only weight myself once a week. I know weight fluctuates a lot and I'm not trying to stress myself out. Don't worry we'll get there! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  15. You're probably just still really swollen. Give it some time I'm sure it'll start to come off! Best of luck! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
