You lose the most when you can get to a decent level of calories and you can move.

I am looking for some feed back from people with similar statistics

47 years old 5' 6

Starting weight 238

Surgery weight 228 (10/18/16)

Current weight 205

I have my surgery next week and am pretty much exactly where you started - same age, height and weight. How are you doing now? How has this whole process been for you? I am anxious to hear where I might be in six months!

It has been the very best decision I have ever made in my life. First weeks were hard. Trying to get used to what was real hunger or head hunger and what was gas etc. Now I am very rarely hungry and it amazes me every day how little i crave anything or how little I eat. I am down to 178 and I have been at my longest stall of 3 weeks. I'm not worried I know it's normal. I feel like a different person. I run up and downstairs like I am 18 again. I literally feel little. I'm loving my sleeve!!! Good luck. You are in for a great transition.

Thank you for getting back to me. You've had great results and I can't wait to start having them as well. I can only imagine how you feel like a new person not having to carry around the extra weight. My fiancé of course doesn't think I'm fat because he doesn't know how much I weigh, but when I said, when I weigh 90 lbs less, I am going to have a lot more energy. Then I think it really sunk into his thick skull that I truly need this surgery and that yeah I will have more energy! :) Thank you again for your reply and good luck with your continued success.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
