So glad I read this thread because I have been experiencing the same thing since my band to gastric bypass. I was reading other threads and feeling down because they were losing so fast. Now I don't feel bad with the 1 to 2 pound loss a week. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the information on the insure nutrition I filled out the form yesterday night. I hope my insurance approves it!

I would go with what ur Doc suggested. I had a band for almost 7 years and didn't lose the weight I needed and was still on diabetes meds. Also my band slipped so I had it removed to gastric. I am a diabetic with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I researched both the sleeve and gastric and talked about it with my doc and asked her if she were in my shoes which would she do. She stated gastric due to lower risk than the sleeve, would come off my diabetes meds, and would lose more weight. I am glad I made the right decision for me and I should have done it right the first time instead of worrying about the time off. I have taken off so much time from illness associated with my weight. So this time off will help me when I heal not to be taken off for weight related issue. Good luck with ur decision!!

Pray everything goes well! My surgery is Wednesday!

I did but didn't go overboard because that would only add on more weight for me to lose before my surgery on the 26th. I started my liver shrink diet on the 12th and this is day three. I am down four pounds already.

Hello my name is Debra and my surgery date is March 26th. I am doing my liver shrink diet for two weeks. It's been a struggle but I will get through it. This is day two!

Hey Debras65! My surgery is on March 26 too!!! I am so excited!!! I didn't have to go on any special diet only had to lose a percentage of weight witch I already have so I am just continuing with that! I am just super motivated to get this weight off and keep it off once and for all!!! My issue has always been keeping it off and I feel like the surgery will help me in that ( I hope ) !!!
