You look incredible! I am to months post op and can't wait to get to where you are. I do have a question as my mom is wanting to have the surgery now as well but her medical won't cover it. Did you pay out of pocket in Mexico and if you did do you mind me asking what the total amount was? Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon wants me to have two 4oz protein shakes every day. Plus 64oz of liquid (water) and per my surgeons meal plan I should be on mushy foods however I still can't hold down anything more than soup. So I've been doing my protein shakes and 1/2 a cup of soup twice a day. I miss the taste of food but I know it's all worth it Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all! I can't believe this journey so far, and it has just barely started. As of today I am two months and two days out from the day I started my pre op liquid diet. On that day I weighed 292.8 lbs. Two weeks later the morning of surgery on October 4th my weight was at 275.6 this morning I reached 50 lbs give since the start of my liquid diet. And 33 lbs gone in the six weeks and two days since surgery. It feels amazing! Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

That's so awesome! Great job! And believe me... I know what you mean. I would try so hard every month only to lose 3 lbs and now I'm 50 lbs down. Keep me posted after your surgery. I'd love to keep in touch with your progress Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all, so I have a question because I'm freaking out a bit. The day off my bypass 13 days ago I went into the hospital weighing 275lbs. After surgery my weight went up 10lbs while still in the hospital which I understand is from the IV fluids and what not. However after coming home, I dropped to 264lbs and in the past three days I have gained 3lbs. I know that's not a drastic gain but I'm still concerned. Has anyone else had weight gain after leaving the hospital during the first couple weeks post op ? Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm not sure when you wrote me this as I am just seeing it now however I have done fairly well. Saturday was one month since my surgery and I've lost a total of 20lbs so far. I'm still finding it hard to stay off the scale but I'm managing. Congratulations on getting out off your rut. That's so awesome! Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't believe it's already been a month since my surgery! It hasn't been the easiest month that's for sure, to weeks in and I was back in the hospital for a week. I was having a hard time keeping anything, liquids or solids down. I had to have an endoscopy done and it turned out that I have a hernia in my esophagus and erosion in the lining of my stomach. But I am home now and on the mend. Since the morning of surgery I've lost exactly 20lbs and a total of 37lbs since the 2 week post op diet. Sometimes I stress myself that I'm not kidding as fast as I should. But.... I'm losing and I'm on too a healthier life! Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks! I am doing much better! I still can't keep much more than water or soup down but that's better than nothing! As for the weight I can definitely feel the difference when I put my clothes on. They are all much looser now. I just sometimes feel I should of lost more than 20lbs by now and that makes me feel down sometimes Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats! All of those are incredible things. I am a month out tomorrow and I don't feel as though I'm losing as much as I should. I've lost 18lbs since surgery. Does that seem right? Or is it a bit on the slow side of weight loss? Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this situation exactly. I'm literally obsessed with the scale. I think I'm honestly stepping on it at least 4 to 5 times a day. I'm so scared of gaining anything. I actually had a dream last night that I stretched out my stomach already some how. Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app
