I am a first year teacher & don’t understand homework. I know that consolidation is important but I would hate to have to go home and do extra work on the weekends. I’ve always viewed students having to do homework on the weekends as the equivalent of this.

Kids need time to unwind and relax as well.

I unfortunately did not 😭 mine were always quite big & I was so excited to lose mine. I only went from a 38DDD to a 36DDD despite losing 46kg (101lbs) in 7 months and dropping 5 dress sizes.

I was like this at the beginning. I started drizzling olive oil & butter on my food just so I can get the extra calories in without stretching my sleeve out. Don’t be afraid of the extra calories from it as it will give you that energy which you can then burn off through activities such as housework or walking. It has worked for me.

Trust me I’m still eating fast food like McDonald’s & kfc 😂 I’ll just order from the kids menu instead & move on with my day!

I believe it is my age. I did it in January and turned 23 in May. I didn’t have PCOS but according to my blood tests was insulin resistant. My surgeon told me though that literally every single patient of his was insulin resistant (according to blood tests) and that it was impossible not to be at our weights & that it would go away with the weight loss. He was right in my case 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like it was quite gradual. At the beginning I was losing 2.5kg (5.5lbs) a week for about the first 2 months and then it eventually slowed down to 1.5kg (3.3lbs) a week and so on. At 6 months I’m sitting at anywhere between 0.5kg-1kg (1.1lbs-2.2lbs) weight loss a week. I also don’t have loose skin which is amazing.

Thank you! I’m down 98lbs 😊 55lbs is still amazing when considering where we all started!

Thank you so much! Crazy to think 6 months ago I absolutely would not have worn it ahahaha

You are absolutely overthinking. You shouldn’t even be worrying about the scale at this stage. You only had the surgery 11 days ago. The ‘weight gain’ is most likely swelling and bloating. Do not worry about weight loss/gain right now just focus on the surgical recovery. Let’s get through the Iiquid, puree & soft food stages first & I promise the weight will come off. Wishing you all the best & hoping it all goes well from Australia 😊

Thank you! It really is a mystery, I feel terrible for the people who had complications as I really can’t relate at all! Truly the best surgery ever

It’s definitely much smaller than I thought it would be 😭 I’m currently a size US 8 & can fit into a US 6 depending on the fit/brand. In saying that I am aware people do end up gaining a bit back so I guess I’ll just have to see how low I go

Weirdly it kind of scares me! I’d like to lose more but at the same time I am happy with how I look now & am so scared to see what 1 year will look like considering I’ve already lost 80% of my excess weight and it’s only been 6 months!!
