I've seen these graphs used to compare different Bariatric Surgeries... Can one of you post a link or a pic of these graphs? Thanks!

Sleeved 10/1 and I'm down 56lbs from DOS... thats 108lbs overall! HW: 368 SW: 316 CW: 260

48lbs down since surgery on 10/1 67lbs down since pre-op diet on 9/17 100lbs down since 8/2

Bump! Any one else have some insight?

Hi Everyone! Has anyone had pain in their hips AFTER they have lost weight? I'm 7 weeks out and 43 lbs down and my hips hurt in the morning and after sitting at work for long periods of time. The pain is reduced or goes away after a few steps, but its painful when I am still. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what the cause/cure is? Thanks!

Sleeved on 10/1 and have lost a total of 27lbs. Surgery weight of 316, currently 289 which is 75lbs down since my highest this August. The process has been great so far, but I'm worried about the 99lbs I have to lose to make my goal weight. Time to hit the gym, I guess.

I normally get 36-48 oz of water and two 11oz shakes for a total of 58-70 oz of liquid per day. I started upping my water intake yesturday and will make sure I keep up with my daily vitamins.

I am 25 days post op and haven't lost a pound in 12 days. I need suggestions on how to break a stall. I do remember reading a website that provided a 4 day guide to breaking a weight loss stall, but I can't find it anymore. Thanks for your help! FYI - I get 700-900 calories each day, 50-70 grams of Protein, low carbs, I walk 3 miles 5 days a week and I'm stuck at 299 (315 on SD)

Rootman, How does one grow 3/4 taller form WLS? I'm guessing your posture is better now and your spine is less compacted, but 3/4 of an inch is a huge amount... Thanks!

In the hospital admitting department waiting room for a 12:30pm surgery in Houston. Lost 47lbs as of this morning, 19lbs from the 2 week liquid diet. looking forward to the next chapter of my life!!

Have you been working out.

I get sleeved on Monday! The pre-op diet really sucks!!

I have Barrett's and my doc was pushing hard for a bypass. I have no interest, so my doc agreed to the sleeve if I come back every year to be scoped. if my reflux gets worse, he will convert the sleeve to a bypass when needed. Hopefully the hernia repair and weight loss help resolve my reflux and Barrett's... Maybe this strategy will work for you too!

I have surgery on Monday, Oct 1st and I'm down 14 lbs in 10 days on the liquid diet. My weight loss stalled on days 6&7 and I'm not sure why. I stuck to the routine, except I ate a diet yogart with 50 cals. both nights, which is limited to shakes, broth, Water, sf Jello & sf popsicles. I try to walk 2-3 miles every other day and I did this on the 5th day. Is this unusual or do most people stall on their liquid diet? Also, I have a desk job and I took the week off from work, will this be enouugh time? Thanks!

October 1st surgery date here in Houston at park plaza hospital with dr. Sherman Yu of TLC Surgery. Start my 14 day liquid pre-op diet on Monday. I'm down 28lbs since August 2nd and shooting for another 15lbs before surgery. Still have questions... Avg nights stay in hospital and work days missed? Any suggestions for a post op shopping list? Its great to read all the October posts! Good luck to everyone!!
