Sassytallgurl 0 Posted June 12, 2018 Can you explain some of the downsides you had in the beginning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnsons13 359 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm only 2 months and 8 days out, but I'm so happy I went through with it. I came home without diabetic meds and I have more energy now. It's a pain figuring out what I can eat now, but nothing worth having comes easy. I'm on track with what I'm supposed to be losing. I'm 5'2 and I weighed 230. I'm now below 198 (I haven't weighed at my Dr in a few weeks so I don't know the actual number) Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 watsongirl17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FancyChristine15 810 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm not quite 3 months out yet, but yes, I'm very happy so far! 1 watsongirl17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasMommy80 297 Posted June 12, 2018 I am 2.5 months out and feel 100% normal, except my portions are smaller. I can eat what I want, although I am choosing to eat healthy. I have had a few treats here and there, but always hit my Protein and Water goals. I am also back in the gym, 4-5 days a week. My only complaint was a long stall, but I think I needed to increase my calories. Once I started eating 900-1000 calories, especially when working out, I started losing again. 1 watsongirl17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie75 82 Posted June 12, 2018 I'm 1 year out. I am literally HALF of myself! And other weight I didn't need, but that's another story [emoji19]. I'd do it again 100x over!Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app 3 ProudGrammy, watsongirl17 and Taoz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GastricSleeve2018 14 Posted June 12, 2018 30 hours post-op and I don't regret it. The gas pains are very painful yet if you walk it goes away. I love it. I can't wait for the weight to melt off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnsons13 359 Posted June 12, 2018 One way I know I'm full is when I get hiccups. It's crazy, but my husband laughs about it and it makes me laugh. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyngolean 81 Posted June 13, 2018 I'm 2 months post op as of today, down 55.5 pounds. I am SO happy I did this. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! It has been a life changing experience, all for the better. You asked about downsides early on: The day after surgery, it was an effort to stay hydrated. I was very glad to graduate to full liquids after Clear Liquids the first week. Then I was very glad to graduate to pureed foods after being on full liquids due to more variety. Now I eat normal food, but very small portions. It's amazing to lose weight fast without feeling hungry! I REALLY wanted to be a healthy weight and considered the restrictions on what I could eat well worth it. I am almost half way to goal and feel like a new woman. 1 watsongirl17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
