I am now exactly 13 months out and I am settling in to new habits. I still eat everything I may have a craving for, but I have trained myself (and used my sleeve) to only have a couple bites of the bad things. I have found that for me physiologically I do much better when I am not as restricted by WHAT I eat, but rather HOW MUCH. High protein and low carb are my normal now and I couldn’t be happier! Day of surgery weight: 321 (although pic is 340) After pic weight: 194 3XL shirts are now large 46in waist now 34

Hello everyone! I am 11days out and was losing really fast like down 16lbs after 7 days. Then I weighed myself at night before bed as always (281.6 normal gain from the day) then again in the morning as always and it shot UP to 285.7? I know we always weigh more at night and the morning weight is more accurate, but any ideas as to why it went up over night?

That weight spike was actually on day 6, and it has been steadily been going down. I’m down to 278.9 from 298.5 on the morning of surgery 11 days ago (today is day 12).

Yeah I’m trying to work on the water for sure, I have just always been a “gulper” so changing to sips is real work. Lol i look at the scale everyday to remind me to not eat like a fatso. I wasn’t “freaking out” I was honestly just curious because a spike over night was odd to me. I am well aware of water weight and other things causing gain during the day, which is why only the morning one matters to me. Seeing 5lbs up in the AM was just odd. I will continue weighing as I have been And keep getting the advice from others to get that water and protein dialed in. What is a high end for carbs, 20g per day? I’ve been doing fairly well under that, just hope that is optimal.

I’m to purées for a couple more days then I’m open to “as tolerated.” I’m up and moving everywhere actually back to school as a teacher since yesterday (day10). As far as protein goes I’m getting about 50-60grams from protein shakes and Greek yogurt mainly. And water I’ve done better the past two days as I’ve gotten over 40oz both days.
