60-70 grams that will be my daily goal..which will be easy to accomplish.

I ask my bariatric surgeon about the flu and punemonia shot .i am having my surgery on dec 9 and he wants me to get both shots ASAP. Taking it too close to your surgery will not hép.so for December sleevers...get your shots now.

Congrats....now u r your way to a new life.. I am having my surgery dec 9

So happy for u... That is good that u are taking care of your health at this stage of your life. I struggled and I mean struggled with my weight for 40 year,only to end up with a BMI of 40. At the age of 60.

Wow..what a difference..good for u.

My surgery was rescheduled for dec 9...I am meeting dr Reardon tomorrow at 4:00 pm..yes I did the methodist weight management program at methodist..lost 50 pounds about 6 years ago but gained it back. I am going to the November support group for those who has had or will have the surgery. I attended this in October as well. Very informative. Michellemybelle try to attend the nov meeting at methodist hospital, downtown.

Do u have a lapband. Mine wants to do both since I am banded and it will be remov : during surgery.

Thanks for posting. Very informative. And it looks great to see the graph going down.down , down. Congtats on your progress so far.

Protidiet bouillion are delicious and has only 60 calories with 15 grams of protein..I surely will be tasting this during my first week after surgery.

Many hbariatric dr are not performing the lapband anymore. And those who had the lapband with little or no success are doing a revision to the sleeve.

I am sure it will all go well. Try to get a good nights rest

Sounds great... looking forward to my surgery dec 9...I love it when I hear "no regrets"..especially from those who have been on this journey for years. Keep up the positive ness..it help us who I waiting for the surgery.

My NUT told me that you will not be able to get all your protein in at the beginning.

I think wanting to lose 60' , 70 to 80 pounds is no lightweight. I see that u can be successful. Maybe not as fast as someone tht has to lose 100 plus. Br u can still get successful by changing your habits and using the surgery as a tool.

U look so young and gorgeous. Congrats

Congrats..don't think of losing 10 years think of gaining many 10 years by losing your weight. Congrats.

Yep they r really fast losers..it is just their body make up..muscle mss

Thanks so much for posting this.. I really needle this I go. I will turn 60 in jan and getting a little thinned on top of my forehead. So this is important to me. Again thanks.

Fantastic...yes it is best to weigh less often..my eating disorder psych told me to put away my scale.

Wow..my iPad does make word choices for me.. My last post is full of errors.

My surgery is dec 9.. I changed my mind several times within the last few months. I think it was my daughter who is a PA was not buying in for me to have the surgery. I wanted support foo my two daughters and husband. She sees patients who gave gad this procedure and some r successful..some gained some weight back. She is now on board at that solidified my choice to gave the surgery. I gave not looked back since. You will get there. Talk to your support system about this issue.

Please move me from dec 5 to dec 9 surgery..got a call today y that dr will be out of town. Thanks,,,

So happy for your success. You have a whole new world waiting for you. Congrats

Change your mindset on fried foods, if u r going to have this procedure and thinking that u can have your fried foods again is counter productive, u need to change your lifestyle..focus on what is nutritious for your body otherwise you will sabotage your health journey.. I am not saying you will never eat a fried food again.. But changing your eating habits would be required to maintain your weight loss for the long run.

Why don't u find people close to your age that had the procedure and r successful. Maybe they can share info with your father that would ease his concern. What about the surgeon u may be interested in using, he may have young patients. Bring your dadwith u to thedoctor to hear his perspective. Having a weight issue since 7 must have been hard on u. In addition to the surgery, find a psycologist who specializes in eating issues. Deal with your physical and emotional issues. Hope this helps. Peace be with you.
