I love when people tell me "o your not that big" as im pushing almost 300lbs..I just smile and say you want my body for a few days?
When you can no longer take the weight mentally or physically and you know you have tried your best and worst (unsafe measures) to lose it, its time. Only you live in your body and know when your ready BMI is only a number.
Good luck!

Dont blame you for being pissed...just think next vacation he wont be able to keep up with the new you!: )

I second that wow!

Everybody is different, there is a chance you will lose a little a lot or none at all..most people see some loss between 3 to 9 months...the most you can do is get good Protein before and after, taking Biotin doesn't hurt.
That being said it will grow back and it would not be a reason for me not to get surgery

Woohoo! Congrats

The first few days are the hardest but broths will be your friend in breaking up all the sweetness of Protein Shakes. Did you get some Unjury chicken flavored broth? Its pretty yummy..good luck

I second that wow!

Love my sleeve !!!

I love these syrups! I picked up a couple of the sugar free ones at Walmart to try and now Im hooked. I add them to my Protein Drinks, yogurts, make glazes, salad dressings etc...
I went on their websites and they have all kinds of flavors even BACON lol although that is not sugar free. I searched a little more and found a wholesale website that has them for under 5.00 each for the large bottles with no min to buy.

Just a thought to help add a little flavor!

I don't know about that butter.... I just ate a piece of dried up chicken and I'd kill for a donut right now! Oh or a Protein bar!!

I just was approved by my insurance and the date is set. I am so happy

Your cleaning your body out, only clear liquids in will only be liquids out until you start adding things of some substance...just dont stray to far lol

Almost 3 months out, and just hit 50 pounds down! Sleeved 3/25/13. I still need to lose about 75-85 pounds.

Five months post op on June 7th. 97 lbs gone since Jan 1 pre op. I am struggling with carb snacking and with exercise motivation. I tore an ankle ligament and had to slack off exercising about two weeks ago and now i am struggling to get back at it. I still have 80 lbs to go and i am getting to that point where I am comfortable and usually would stop exercising dieting etc and do what i thought was "normal". It off course would result in a gain of everything i lost back plus some.
This time I hope it does not happen. I am afraid it will. So I'm processing and thinking and trying to motivate myself for the next 80 lbs. thanks to everyone sharing experiences, i know i can do this for the long haul.

Tomorrow, I'll be three months out from surgery, and I'm down 85 pounds since starting my pre-op diet on March 1st, when these before photos were taken. I had my surgery with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. So far, so good. Lots more to go, though.
