Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

3 months out down 62!

Wow it's been awhile. Hey ya'll. I'm doing great! I can't believe I'm down 62 pounds! Seriously never thought I'd see the day lol. Keeping in ketosis and still struggling to get on enough water, but I take it ounce by ounce.
I still can't eat more than 1/2 cup a5 a time and do 2 protein shakes a day but my Dr is fine with that so, so am I:) here are my stats

Day of 138
Today 184
Whoop whoop
If you have any questions ask away!

24 days post op

Had my check up today and everything is great! I'm down 22 pounds! I went back to full time this week and it was a challenge at first but by Thursday I was feeling pretty good. I also started walking on my treadmill. I can do 2.5 miles for now. It stalled me but that was expected. In not going to panic. I have lost so many inches im down 2 sizes and my belly is so much flatter!
Still struggling with eating slowly. Toughest part. I usually end up in pain and then I'm done lol

19 days post op doing great!

Sorry it's been awhile, trying to fit in work and sleeve life lol I started a blog also about this journey if y'all want to read it Bariatricwoman.com. I am doing so much better. I finished a week at work going half days. I can now get in more exercise daily too. I've got myself on a schedule for eating and drinking which really helps! Here's my stats
Start of journey: 243
Day of surgery: 238
Today: 222
That's 16 pounds gone!!! So excited!
I still can't eat much beyond yogurt. Anything with more texture and only 3 votes can get down before I have pain, no matter how slow I go. I know this will get better so I'm not pushing it. How are you all doing?
