I think its a personal choice. i had heard somethings from people i knew who had the bypass and i felt it wasnt for me. I started out at 325lbs and my drs as well as my goal for me was 160. Thats a total of 165lbs to lose....im 5'8'' by the way and im 25 yrs old. I had surgery just shy of 5 months ago on May 10th 2012. and im 97lbs down, i have 68lbs to go. Its still a ways to go but i cant believe its happening so soon. i hope to be at goal by january? (hopefully!) i wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose!! the sleeve has given me a whole new life to look forward to!

Today August 28th marks 90lbs lost ...@ 110 days post op! (surgery:May 10th) looking at it like that it doesnt seem like much weight loss for 110 days!!! i have 75lbs to go to get to drs goal of 160 for me. just sharing cuz im kinda happy =]

im taking everyones opinion and going to see my surgeon today. im taking an extended lunch...so hopefully its nothing to serious and maybe my stomach was acting crazy for no reason. =] thanks all!

good morning all! so heres my dilemma...im 15 weeks post op. and ive been doing fine. the past couple of days tho, where my stomach is located ive been having random feelings of like "tightness"..u know that feeling u get in your stomach when u gets nervous??..like that but its where my stomach is...its not because im hungry either, cuz it does it randomly throughout the day. dont wanna worry if its nothing...but any idea what it COULD be..? thanks for your input!~

hi all just wanted to share that i LOVE drinking Protein shakes from Muscle Milk. They are delish!!! if anyone is stuck and doesnt know what brand to try..i def recommend! i just bought Muscle Milk Light: Cookies N Cream flavor..OMG! if u have ever had a jack in the box oreo cookie shake...it tastes just like it. i drink one scoop with 8 oz of 2% milk. n im good for the morning! good luck all! if u have any recommendations...feel free to share thanks!

for me its: scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, stringcheese, rice, sourcream, anything greasy, spaghetti...THE LIST GOES ON AND ON LOL. but it doesnt bother me tho! weird! =]

Hey all. im 10 weeks post op and ive lost 61lbs including 2 week pre-op diet. I started out 309lbs. im now at 248lbs, but i think i should be farther along by now to be honest.. I havent been exercising like i should ive been working so much that by the time i get home im sleepy and just wanna get ready for bed. but im on the ball now. i dont have a gym membership. i wanna find a step by step outline of a workout to do at home. if anyone has one. kind of give me some direction. id really appreciate it!! thank you!

i was sleeved MAY 10th. starting weight... 309 pre-op diet...lost 16lbs surgery day...293 lbs lost since surgery...24lbs today....269 total: 40lbs =] kinda at a stall now =[

This has nothing to do with weight loss...but I'm just really annoyed and need to vent. Who doesn't have sex on their anniversary?...apparently me and my husband.I'm so mad!! Like how can you be ok and whatever just watching a movie with me while I'm on the bed and you lay on the floor?! Ughh... I'm going to bed...just looking at him makes me mad. Men...i swear.

Had surgery thursday so I'm on clear liquids...weight load is fine but feeling comfortable with my new stomach isn't. I don't know what's my full feeling...and it sucks because being diabetic one of the symptoms is being thirsty alot...i feel like sips is torture to me...i feel like I'm always thirsty...but obviously my new stomach holds about 4oz...how long does your stomach stay full on liquids? And if its completely empty can you take bigger sips back to back seeing as how the reason we sip is because our limited amount of space? But if I'm empty and I take a bottle and fill up 4oz of like crystal light them can Idrink how I want sering as how its pre measured and I'm empty?...kinda dumb questions maybe...just kinda confused

Just thought is share how happy I feel with my decision to have the sleeve. My highest weight ever was 325...my weight the day I started my all clear liquid pre op diet was 309. Started that april 19. Day of surgery may 10th I weighed in 287. Today I weigh 278. My goal weight is 160-170lbs. I'm about 115 lbs away. kinda blows me away!! just sharing. Thank you for reading!. Have a blessed day! And good luck to all!

In the pre op lobby waiting too get called in. started crying while sitting here and I don't know why. My surgery is in 2 hours and I'm scared

thanks!!

SURGERY DAY TOMORROW!!! YAY =] 1030am IT IS! good luck all!

thank you to both of you! god bless!

SO TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY =] JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY EXCITEMENT! but nervousness too lol SURGERY IS AT 1030. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE GETTING SLEEVED TOMORROW!! I KNOW THERES ALOT OF US!

YAY!!! CONGRATS!

Im not saying cheating is ok but im glad im not the only one. i started feeling like i have no will power compared to other people. but what i dont understand is when i dont cheat my weight stays the same but when i do cheat the next day my weight goes down like a pound or two. so its kind of confusing me

thats kinda what im doing. like yesterday i had a small chicken cesar salad. and the day b4 i did all liquids but i had like 4 unsalted crackers with my broth.

who's cheated on this preop diet? i keep reading about people who are doing it or have done and didnt cheat once...more power to u! =] but i feel like im the only one whos cheated? anyone else out there?

ok so maybe this sounds dumb but im confused on what my real weight is. i woke up yesterday morning and weighed myself around 8am weighed in 297 then when i got home from work around 5pm weinghed in at 302 then before i went to bed weighed myself around 10pm weighed in 299 woke up this morning 8am weighed in 299. so whats my real weight? i know im probably gonna be told im weighin myself too much and maybe i am but i have surgery nxt thursday and my pre op with the surgeon on monday. and i was 293 in january when i met with him the first time and i gained weight since then..16lbs to b exact. if 297 is my real weight then ive lost 12. and have 4 lbs to go until my previous weight. this is why im constantly checking and hoping it goes down faster b/c i have 5 days until i meet with him again. and when he questions me why i gained weight...im embarrassed to say bc i wanted to enjoy food while i could? thats a pathetic reason and i feel horrible for having done that. ma question is whats probably my real weight? anyone had this issue when the scale tells you youve gained like 5 lbs in a day?

oh no not at all! lol. =] i just types "soo!!!!" like sooo guess what!! sorry if it came off like that. i weighed in this morning...301! yay. now im only 8lbs away from my original weight of 293. ughhh im just hoping for 290 by May 7th for my pre-op appt w/tha surgeon =] u r soo close tho!! u excited?!

thank you! its May 10th (mexico mothers days) =]

so!!!! i just went out to my car and called my surgeons office. told them how i was 293 when i weighed in with them (did i mention i got to this weight from 315 taking phentermine?) i stopped taking them after meeting with the surgeon. and i gained some weight back, got to 309. not im at 303. and im afraid i wont have my surgery bc i didnt lose instead i gained pre-op. she assured me not to worry that i will have my surgery but if i dont lose on the protein shake diet ill be expecting a lecture from the surgeon (oops!). im feeling better now. she also said as long as i stick to the protein shake diet...ill lose weight. =] i feel better now.
