Hey-anyone out there wanna share their post op progress? I had mine July 14 and am down about 8.5 lbs.

They made me get a covid test three days before scheduled surgery and I passed

I had mine July 14-just want to share that this is the most bizarre experience in terms of what I thought this was and what it is-utterly mind screwing-for me anyway....

I am 5'5 and my starting weight was 183.3 - and i am down 8.2lbs. I figured it is my fault-but now I think this is just how it works....i hope

hey there-I had mine on 7/14 as well-you've lost 10 lbs! I have lost 8.....let's be patient because I think this is a bizarre experience that really does require a whole lot of following the rules-I feel like its my fault because i didnt pay close enough attention to how much and what I can take in-a friend of mine who also had this surgery years ago tells me this is normal-also I feel like i try harder everyday to be precise about my intake and exercise-hoping for another two lbs this week

July 14th is my date-

I am having surgery July 14th-not telling anoyone other than a few close trustworthy friends. I am nervous as heck and have been in a terrible mood-this is all fear and weird psychological stuff that goes way way deep. I was obese as a teen, lost the weight at 17 and stayed in normal range until age 44 when it started piling on-i have dieted, exercised, worked out with a trainer and most I was able to lose was to get out of obese and in overweight zone. I'm 5'4 and 1/2, small frame and weigh 182, and lowest I've gotten to was 165. This is twice since my first consult for surgery in July 2017. The problem is the weight came back both times. I am turning 50 on July 7th and I want to this surgery to help me get into normal BMI range. I want my life back. I know this is not going to solve all my problems and know that it wont work unless I change my lifestyle. I would love to hear more feedback and long term stories-my biggest fear is that I'll not lose any weight .
