4 month post op...Loving the transformation
Hello everyone, I'm stopping by for an update. I am 4 months out and now weighing 209.6 lbs. 62 lbs down. Some days I feel that I should have lost more by now but I'm ok with the inches.
I had a follow scope a week and a half ago and my biosphere was negative and the best news is that I know longer have the Barrets Esophagus. My lab work showed a little protein deficiency and cholesterol slightly elevated but my doctor said I was good overall. I don't have to go back until 6 months.
I have been working out consistently and enjoying being able to wear cute workout attire, Lol, I think I'm obsessed.
I hope everyone is doing well on their journey. I will try to do better in the new year on my updates. I have no regrets of my decision.

62 lbs in a great loss in 4 months and it's great you are toning up at the same time. I'm betting it feels wonderful.

Thanks, Zen Lady. It does feel good. I'm worried about the skin on my arms but my doctor told me that should be my least worry at this moment. I am trying different arm excercises and hope that they work.

I am 2 months from surgery and I've only lost 17# but i'm good with that. so 62# is great!

I was lucky, for some odd reason after I first saw my dr at the seminar, I just didn't have a appetite. so it was easy to lose the weight. I am down another lb. today. I am now 184.6#.

maryella, as always I watch your journey with interest. Every pound is a positive I know! The lower I get to 'normal' the more it slows but that in itself is a reward, now I don't have bulk to lose its working on a ratio to need rate I say! Great way to start 2015, a loss!

Getting sleeved on Friday January 30th. Struggling with this pre-op liquid diet

Hi there, good luck with your surgery!
The pre-op diet can be difficult, but remember it's there to shrink your liver and make the surgery safer, so it's very important. What types of things are you drinking?
