Your face has changed so much! That is a great video, thank you for sharing

I wish you a speedy recovery! My goodness, it sounds awful. I read somewhere that coconut oil is high in fat and calories and a couple tablespoons a day can really help boost calories. If you are week and dizzy from eating too little or not enough calories it might be worth a try. Ask your Dr or NUT first, maybe. Good luck in 2014!!

I know I most likely will not be able to have milk after surgery so I bought sample packets of unjury and I tried the strawberry Sorbet with Water. It was terrible! Blah. I finished it but it would have been 100% better with milk instead of water. I have milk issues (even though that rarely stops me right now) so thanks for the almond milk idea All the best to you. p.s. I was just testing the shake for now, hopefully I will be doing the real liquid diet in January.

Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing your results, you look great!

Start weight: 233 pounds Goal weight: 221 pounds

I did not have any pain after the EGD either.

You look great! Happy Sleeve Anniversary.

I'm in I am preop and hoping to have surgery at the end of January/early February so this is perfect.

I hope everything is going well today, please keep us updated. Happy recovery

Good luck and I hope it is a smooth surgery and recovery. I am hoping to be sleeved at the end of January or early February so maybe we will be on the losers bench around the same time .

You look stunning! The dress is just about as gorgeous as you, just about. Congratulations and I hope 2014 is even better.

Congratulations!! One pound a day is amazing.

Fingers crossed for a quick reply Best of luck to you.

Sorry about all the struggle but you made it through and it sounds like you are stronger and better for it. Plus you look fabulous! Three cheers for an extraordinary 2014!!

Oh my goodness that looks painful. You can tell a huge difference though and it will look fabulous a year from now. Best of luck to you in your recovery.

I am so happy everything went so well. 20 pounds in such a short time is wonderful, happy dance for you

Good luck to both determaingirl and socalfosh!!

Congratulations on your surgery!!! I have been looking in to Dr Illan as a second option in case my insurance denies me. It is so great to see another positive story about him and his staff. I feel very confident in having Dr Illan as my Plan B

You are a weight loss machine!

Fantastic!

I hope you are all right. It has been over a week and no updates. I hope you are just healing and nothing went wrong.

Good luck to you I have my fingers crossed that I will be joining you in January, if so I'll be back

I think knowing if you are ready or not is up to you. Do you eat because you are hungry or bored or emotional? I never feel like I've eaten even after a ton of food so I always feel hungry. If that is what happens to you then it may be your solution. If you eat because you are bored or emotional then the restriction will not help you yet. You have to decide and act on that. Best of luck to you, I hope you figure it out.

I agree with Madam. You also have more skin showing in the third picture which will trick the eye. Either way I think there is a huge change between the first and last picture and you should be very proud of your success so far.

Lady, you look GREAT
