@pacheka I’m right along with you as far as not doing good for the holidays. You’re 4lbs ahead of me, so we should celebrate. Look how far we’ve gotten. ❤️❤️❤️

@blacklioness72 You look amazing ❤️❤️❤️ Great job!!

@MissB_fit_2018 Yassss boo. You look amazing. I see a total different person. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good evening sleevers, my surgery date was June 14th and I’ve lost 78lbs so far. I haven’t introduced myself to rice potatoes not bread YET. I was wearing a size 22 and today I brought a size 10. I’m super happy but frustrated that my pouch doesn’t like much. I still have a problem with salads, chicken, and salmon. I mostly eat ground turkey, beans, oatmeal, nuts, eggs, bacon and protein bars. photo on the left is my work ID that was taken last July. Photo on the right was taken two weeks ago.

@Smylegirl thanks love I’m trying

@Purple girl thanks love 😊😊

Hello June Sleevers, Haven’t posted in awhile. HW 274 SW 264.5 CW 204 GW 160

@Rudedogg89 OMG you look amazing!!!

This is crazy. VSG saved my life. I needed this surgery

Hello Sleevers, stats HW 271 SW 264 CW 220 Today marks two months for my VSG. It’s been a struggle but I’ve managed to keep carbs out my life. I haven’t eaten rice bread potatoes and focused on protein only. Still having problems with my fluids and working out, but I manage to walk 2 miles a day and that it.

@ladybosschick sorry didn’t answer the question fully. The second week I started. It was like two pounds a day.

@ladybosschick I didn’t weigh myself until a full week after surgery. Your body is swollen so you’re not going to see weight loss. Just make sure you have the unflavored isopure so you can add to your broth for extra protein.

Hello Future Losers!! I’m from June wishing you all the best and can’t wait for you all to meet us on the other side. Surgery July 14th. HW 271 SW 264 CW 226.50 GW 180 Any questions inbox me.

@Robyn Riley Remember before surgery when we were dieting and working out the scale wouldn’t move, but we were okay and didn’t stress because we knew we were losing inches. Same thing here babe. If you’re doing everything right no need to stress. Switch up. Instead of jumping on the scale try taking your measurements. I use my old belt (men’s belt). Before surgery I barely got to the second hole but today I’m on the sixth hole. You got this. Inbox me anytime

@churchgirl I used to be on weight watchers and The foods I ate we can’t eat as a Bariatric patient. I’m 6 weeks and I still use the cups and measure my meat (protein) because thats all we really can have is protein. Our stomach can only hold up the most is 3 ounces of meat. However, I can only hold 2 ounces. Now when I eat veggies and protein I can consume more, so I’m guessing that why she’s doesn’t want you to worry about counting points because you may focus on the other foods rather than protein. If you can just try measuring for keeping track maybe that will help. My doctor said the same about protein shakes but that’s how I get the most protein. In the morning I use two scoops of Dutch chocolate isopure, 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter and chia seeds which is - little over 65g of protein. Then lunch and dinner I’m a carnivore.

@Pete_A I’m at a total 37.5 since surgery June 14th. I had a stall for a few days last week but I upped my protein intake and took an extra 30 minutes of cardio. I went shopping yesterday and I’m excited to say I’m a size 14w and not 18/20 💃🏾I’m still having problems with my water intake but it’s getting better.

@PretzelRN I’m in the same boat. I no longer can drink premier shakes and quest, so I’m stuck. I’m going to wait on the responses to see if anyone else trying something different.

I’m 5 weeks and 3 days out and 31.50 lbs down.

@gully90You look great!!!!! Congrats

Thank you 🙏

Hello Sleevers, Update Surgery date June 14th HW 271 SW 264 CW 233.5 GW 165 Only eating protein like eggs, Greek and shrimp. I’m absolutely over and can’t stand premier shakes. 🤢

@blacklioness72 Yassss on them 10lbs. Congrats and welcome to the other side ❤️

@Skinnygirl04 As long as you’re out of pain I’m happy. It will get better I promise 😊

I had my surgery in Jupiter Florida and they gave me Dilaudid. So sorry that your experiencing so much pain. It took three days to finally drink water without pain. Let’s just say jello and ice pops will be tour best friend once your discharged.

@idongo you got this!! I had the same feeling put I turned to this support group, YouTube and Instagram success stories and I knew it was my turn to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s more than losing weight it’s about saving your life. My primary care doctor advised me that my weight was going to be the death of me and that frightened hell out of me.
