I'm Laura I had gastric sleeve this past sept 2012. My starting weight was 241 pre op 233 day of surgery 225 seems like8lbs it's my magic #. Because 2 weeks after surgery I was 217!! How can I loose only 16lbs in a month with nothing than liquids? ? Now I'm still at 204-203 in 2.5 months!! What am I doing wrong please help??

I haven't even seen the doc yet...lol..just turned in all my paperwork and insurance info and waiting for them to schedule me..my primary gave me a referral and I have psy eval set up but I would love to start the diet now..the more I can lose before surgery.. the better..I greatly appreciate your help

Hi Pammie - welcome to the forums! This is a great place for motivation and great resource for research!
My suggestion to you would be this:
1) do lots of research and dont hesitate to ask questions. Note down any question that occurs to you and try using the search option on the forum. If you dont find what you need, then its a good time to post it as a new topic!
2) Utilize the pre-op diet to the maximum. I know it is hard, but if you learn how to eat wisely before the surgery, it will make the journey that much smoother.
3) DONT stock on Protein shakes. Your taste may change after surgery. So just have a few sample packs that you can try when you are cleared for Protein Shakes after the surgery.
4) Dont avoid workouts. I was (and am still, to a degree) paranoid about hitting the gym every day. But I feel that, had I been workingout regularly, I would have had a higher level of success.
Thats on top of my head. Feel free to ask any questions thru PM

Good luck to you...this is all scary and exciting all at once...I am sure you will feel great in no time ..

Beat thing is to be patient. I have been looking into have this surgery done for 2 years and now it's almost about to happen. Should be having my surgery December 10. Good luck and just stay focused. Good Luck!
