I weighed 199 two days ago today I go to weigh in and I am 201.1 like did I seriously gain weight I have been getting my Water in. I have been getting 2 Protein shakes in. I am eating what I am suppose to .. Tuna salmon and turkey ground .. What am I doing wrong ?

I get it it's bad for you blah blah. Can I get a real answer from people please. I want to go tanning in a bed. I am three weeks out (3/17) my incisions look pretty good. White, some have scabs that will fall soon. Anyone go tanning ? When did u start ? Thankss

I am reading about people that can't drink down a 8 ounce Protein shake .. I am 5 days post op and able to drink it in 30-45 minutes. As the day goes on it does get harder .. Should I talk to my surgeon about this !? Anybody could drink 8oz in that time frame ? I also hear people getting gas .. I walk around the neighborhood everyday for 10-20 minutes depending on pain level and I have had no gas. I'm starting to think my sleeve is not as small as others .. Disappointed

I am from Massachusetts also. I got the sleeve done four days ago by Dr Kim at the mount auburn hospital. It was great. She did a wonderful job on me. I am happy. I can't wait to see results!

Thank you every body !!! All the advice really helps !!

I'm going to lunch with my dad and I'm on a liquid diet, any type of liquid. I am so upset because I really want to have some rice Beans and chicken .. I guess this is what it feels to have to be strong .. I hope they have some Soup or something. I doubt it. It's a Brazilian buffet. Just feel like venting about this to anyone that knows what I. Am feeling like/ On the better hand, I have my surgery tomorrow and I am so happy !!!!

I am nervous. I have pre testing on the 10th this month. My nutritionist said I had to weigh the most 215 at the day. My surgery is the 17th of March. I am nervous because right now I weigh 218-221. The scale keeps bouncing around. I am looking for advice to lose the weight so I can be cleared for surgery !!! I have been drinking lots of wter, eating Protein first, working out. I just need something extra to get over this hump. Thanks!

I am so super happy !! I got a date, march 17 ! I'm nervous but so excited at the same time. What I am upset about and why I am posting this thread is because the doctor at my program recommends 2 weeks off to get back to work and I am a nurse and work at a rehab center ( people post surgery ) and they will only give me one week off which would be march 17 - march 24. Exactly 7 days off. Did anyone go back to work quickly after surgery ? When did you feel ' back to normal ' ? Thanks in advance for answers ! Xo

Don't think ill get down to 213 though by tomorrow. Dietician will probably want to see me a few more times ( making this process even longer ) since she books like 2-4 weeks out ! Thanks everyone. I am going to do the liquid from now on.

Hey guys, how long does it take for insurance too accept for surgery ? I also am worried. My goal weight by surgeon before surgery is 213. Last week my weigh in was at 215. Today I weighed myself I am 218 and my next weigh in is tomorrow. I have been prepping for this surgery for 3 months. I am unable to lose weight to get to this goal weight !! I don't know what else to do.

How long does it take for insurance to approve ?? I have Neighborhood HealthPlan by Masshealth. And also, last weigh in I was 215 Today I am 218 I have to go back for a weigh in tomorrow What do u think they'll decide ? Did anyone go into surgery without meeting the surgeons weight goaled ?

Is why I am so nervous. They told me to lose weight ... My bmi will go down ???? Is that ok ?!

My BMI is 40.3 with no co-morbities that

I am questioning whether anyone got denied for the weight loss surgery ? And why ? I weight 215 lbs and I am hoping to do the surgery. I have Masshealth as an insurance. What are some reasons they would deny a person ? Just getting nervous, really need this surgery !!

Wow that's amazing. How far out r u ? My goal weight is 120 and I am hoping to go into surgery at 200.

You look great!! Whats your before and after weight if u don't mind me asking ?

Hello everyone I am pre-op right now and I am hoping with this thread I can see a visual with other people's weight loss. I am currently 215 lbs and need to get down to 210 lbs for surgery. Thanks a lot everyone !!!! Just put in a picture of me pre-op can't wait to see post - op !! Yay.

Hey, I am 2 months into my program for gastric sleeve. I have 10 more pounds to lose. I have some trouble going to the gym. Not sure what kind of workouts to do ? Can anyone tell me what kind of workouts they were doing before surgery and after surgery ? How long after surgery did you go back to the gym ? Thanks in advance for the answers !
