Hi there. Very similar story here. Dieted my whole life. Always gain back. I did my surgery on July 07, 16. So just under a month out. 33 years old and my BMI was 33. I lost 18 lbs since then and I'm at a 30 BMI now. No regrets so far but in a bit of a stall which is normal. I'm like you and drink 3 premiere Protein Shakes a day most days. In a way I can't wait to fast forward this process a bit to where I want to be. My goal is also 130. If you want to keep in touch we are around the same age, low BMI and a couple weeks apart from surgery date.

Good luck!! We're here for you!! Keep us updated on how you're doing tomorrow. Just try to get up and walking as quickly as you can. The sooner you're up, the sooner you feel better ❤️

My surgery went great. I'm of course very sore but nothing major. I have been walking every few hours when I'm not dosing off. My doctor want let me have anything to drink yet:(

I'm 28, started with a BMI of 35. My surgery was 7/14. I know I'm not even a month out but I've only lost 20lbs from pre-op til' now. My metabolism is slower than molasses. I've heard that weight loss is slow for lower BMI's but I have 5lbs to go until I'm in the 100's. I just want to see 199... Like today! Lol. My Protein intake is about 75-80 grams. I'm at a stall this week so I guess o should try to aim for higher Protein intake. Maybe 90-100 as some of you mentioned along your journey.

First of congratulations on your weight loss thus far. I'm 4 days post opt and haven't lost any weight yet. Instead i have gained weight while in the hospital while on the IV. I know it's Water weight and know I will start to lose weight but I can't wait for the numbers on the scale to decrease just saying!!!

Hi- I've "met" a couple of you this past week around the forums. I'm 5'5" and weigh 181-183; my BMI is between 30 and 31. I'm getting sleeved (does that term remind anyone else of that great corny joke: where does the general keep his armies? In his sleevies!) tomorrow, 8/11. I would really love, eventually, to get back to 120ish, where I was for years, but I know that's unlikely. I just want to feel more comfortable, happier in my body, to enjoy CLOTHES again, and to have a sense of hope and control about my body.

I'm dreading the immediate post-op period but am so inspired by your stories and happy to be able to follow along with so many of you!

Hi-

Well those first couple days were hard. I was very very sore. It was hard to get up, hard to lie down, just ouch. But yesterday (sat; surgery was Thursday) I could tell I was starting to feel better, and today I walked two long city blocks. On Friday I could barely get into the car to leave the hospital.

So far my only nausea was immediate post op and from the post op IV painkillers.

Knock wood - I haven't had trouble getting the Water down (I've poured it out into little one-ounce medicine cups so I know how much I'm taking. And I started back on thin Protein Shakes today. So far it's ok and I don't regret it (yet?) but those were a couple of hard hard days. I'm looking forward to the pain ending and the weight loss really starting!

Every day will get better!!! Today is 24 days post op for me, and I feel completely normal. You're in the hardest part right now. Concentrate on getting your Protein & fluids & you'll feel better in no time

Great Job! Do you mind me asking your height and age? Curious as I've been wondering if the speed at which people lose is comparable to BMI and age. Overall can't compare, just curious.

What are you weighing in now 5 days post-op? Your stats are similar to mine although you are slightly lighter and slightly shorter than I am. When was your sleeve date? I'm 2 weeks until!
