I think everyone is going to be a little different as to how much and how soon the weight comes off. I have been losing at a pretty good rate so far but my nutritionist told me to expect it to slow down at some point. The Dr. told me well ahead of the surgery to expect about 70% of my overage to be lost the first year, and then slowly after that.

Hi everyone. I am from Northeast Pa above Scranton. Would love to meet other people in my area that have had the surgery as well.

I was having the same issue when I was on liquids only too, never feeling full. When I started switching over to "soft foods", I was not feeling full either until too late, then it was a bloated feeling all of a sudden. I had to slow down alot and I started to recognize my "full signal" before the bloating. I am just getting into regular foods now and feel full all the time but I try to eat at meal times regardless. My doctor is happy with my progress and so am I so it is working, just take your time and keep doing what they tell you. You will feel the benefits and be proud soon enough.Good uck to everyone.

I am 2 weeks post -op and feel great. First weigh in at surgeon today and was really happy. Going good with no complications so far. I am soooo happy that I had this done.

June 10th is my date. Just started the pre-op diet today.Nervous as well, but, looking forward to the restart of my life.
