It amazes me how I have back peddled. I was 60 lbs heavier before surgery and I still beat myself up the same way. Being real here.... I think you look AMAZING. I wish we could just bE proud of ourselves. Be so proud for real.you look GREAT

It’s almost been a year! My body is happy at 150... my starting weight was 214.4! We are going to California this coming week and I bought me a swim suit!!! Feels good people... so good!

I enjoyed sugar free popsicles they were a lifesaver for me when it came to wanting to eat something!! Walmart has some really yummy flavors of popsicles to choose from. Also the jello helped. Hang in there you can do this. That metal game with mess with you but try and think that soon you will be able to eat, and the weight is going to come off!!! Cheering you on ❤️

I had the sleeve done on May 2nd. Starting weight was 214.4. I have been bouncing between 149-152 for the past month and a half. Can't lose anymore! I'm trying hard! Is my body happy where it is? I am very please with my weight loss. My goal is 140

Thank you everyone I am very happy with where I am right now. I stick strictly to protein. Chicken, steak, veggies... string cheese and almonds for snacks. Boring but it's working!

I just can't believe it!!!!! It feels sooo good!!! I was in a month long stall and I'm finally In the 140's. I'm down 66lns in 3 months

That's who it was ALL for! My two boys are my world!!! So happy I feel better for them!

Thank you so much it's just unreal that I would ever look and feel so good again. I'm still I shock I'm so very thankful

I'm three months post op. What pain meds can I take

First of all, I am so sorry you are feeling this way. This is not normal. I know everyone is different but for your surgeon to say this is normal is wrong. Where do you live? Maybe someone else can check you out to make sure everything is ok? I haven't gone through what you are going through just trying to help somehow! My best wishes for you

Thank you so much !

Any update on how he's doing?

I was sleeved may 2nd. I am down 62 lbs. im doing great but I haven't lost in 3 weeks now and have actually gone up a pound or two 😩 I'm working out every day. I have noticed some hunger has krept back in. Maybe just head hunger... I feel great and all though. My biggest fear is gaining the weight back. Even after weight loss surgery lol

I feel you!! I have been stalled for 3 weeks. I'm like 10 lbs away from goal but I have gained three pounds in the past two weeks and I have no clue why. I honestly want to scream. I'm going to drink a lot more water today and trying running twice a day for the next few days. I am not giving up because I'm so closeeee!!!

Yay!!! Praying for all to go great! It's a great feeling to be sleeved!

Try to take some deep breathes and relax! You must believe and trust everything will be great ❤️ I did the same thing and then I realized I must relax and let go of the fear 👍👍 You will be just fine and all will go great! The only thing I hated about waking up after surgery was how tired I was. Seriously no pain at all. Just tiirreeddd. You will be out of it before the surgery starts. You won't even care about what's about to happen. I promise you will be so loopy and then fall asleep 👍👍 as long as you trust your surgeon you have absolutely nothing to worry about! I hope this helps! And best of luck to you

So I have passed my goal! I freak out every day of I gain or lose. When did you stop looking at the scale every day? Thanks!

I do not and never have had an issue with getting in my protein and water. I'm thankful for that! I am having a bad day today 😞 For some stupid reason the scale has gone up 2.5 lbs for no reason!! Uhg! Whatever right?! Lol. I started working out 5 weeks post op. Started running very slow and have worked myself up from there. I am taking it one day at a time. The biggest thing for me was believing in myself. Once I started believing and realizing one day at a time. It's so easy and still is to get wrapped up in where u are now. I am still learning to enjoy the ride. You are going to do awesome!!

I have a picture of my stomach that they removed! I wanted to make sure it was really done lol!!

Thank you so much!! I work out 5 times a week. Mostly just running. I am 30 years old. Thanks for your compliment! I do have a tiny bit of loose skin lower on my stomach... nothing I really care about though! It feels good to have that weight gone ❤️

Yes please keep us updated! Hoping he is ok

I would go to the hospital. THAT is not normal at all

Just a word of advice.. people already have self image issues. No need to state the obvious here. I didn't mind it but it might hurt someone else's feelings 👍

Haha nope not pregnant

It's the best thing I have ever done!!! I am SOOOO happy! I'm three months out and down 65lbs. Go into it believing in yourself. It makes a huge difference. I am so excited for you!
