You have to remember that everyone is different and it may not happen in two months time, their are so many variables, what works for one doesn't the other....keep on doing what your doing,....its not a race...just get healthy ((HUGs))

There is a July sleevers page here on the forums...also there is a July sleevers Facebook page that is private, so you can't find it by searching for it, and your friends on facebook can't see anything at all even when you post. It is a wonderful group!!!
My surgery is the 28th, On my liquid diet now!!
Best of Luck to you dear!!

My doctor wants the following post-op
week 4-6 Full liquids and increase to pureed textures as able.
week 6-8 Semi-solid, moist mushy foods.
week 8 time to transition to a regular textured diet.
9week and beyond: enjoy
each phase has a long list of do's and don'ts and sample menus. This was given to me by my NUT

I haven't had surgery yet, but my NUT told me a great trick to use with tuna, take a avacado and mash it up, then take two tbs and mix it with the tuna instead of mayo. ??? sounded good to me...I have yet to try it, but I eat tuna without bread, so this may work for me.... I love avacado

I don't know how much Water you are drinking...didn't see that posted anywhere. It doesn't have to be plain Water either, use the mio drops or crystal light. There are several ways to change it up so it doesn't get boring, but you should be drinking at least 64oz a day.
My tip for you is to have like many have suggested with the Protein shakes and lean meal plan. In between these meals if you get hungry, try water, then if your are still hungry try some fresh veggies, You will lose the weight.
Head hunger is very real, and I noticed mine when doing the above diet for a week, it made me realize a lot of my problems. Use "My fitness pal" it is very helpful for you to see exactly what is happening with your food choices.
Don't stress, that will not help you, think positive and pump yourself up for this....YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Congratulations!! You look wonderful, I bet it is a blessing to be able to "play" with your kids....I can't wait to do sports and walking with my kiddos....

Ok....new to the site it's a lot to look at. But all the wonderful success stories are so inspirational!!
I'm scheduled for my sleeve July 31st. So excited now. Had to do 6 months of managed weight loss treatment - lost NO weight. Now the last 2 weeks... I've got to lose 15 lbs any sugestions?
First of all welcome to the site, and yes there is a lot to look at, but this site is so helpful!!! There is also
July sleevers Facebook page that is secret (have to be invited to it and no one but the sleevers can see your posts on it).
Did your Dr. put you on a pre-op diet? If so, you will most likely lose that 15lbs. I have been on a Protein diet ( two Protein Shakes and a light meal: mostly veggies very low carb if any per day) for one week. Now I am on a liquid diet for the last two weeks. I have lost more then your 15lbs during this time, and I still have over a week left!!
You can do it!!!

I love that all of you are doing so well, we have one heck of a hot "topic" here...lol....
I am on day 2 of liquid diet, and yesterday was horrid, I was so hungry, but I kept busy.
The bad part is, my kids noticed the freezer popsicles were melted, so I checked, and my whole fridge was warm....ughhhhhh.... .
I will tell you that it is not fun to rummage through food you CANT have, and try to figure out what is bad and what isn't....it was like a herroin attic bagging up the goods, but can't have it.......IT SUCKED!!!!!
But I did it
Today has been so much easier, and I have had to mess with the kitchen stuff to get it all cleaned up today too....12 more days to go on this...(not counting today )
Just thought I would share my first day on liquids...
BIG (((HUGS))) to everyone...hope all is well!!!!!

My doctor requires 10% and he told me that if I could lose 20-30lbs then we are good to go.

Your surgeon will or should (most do), use your starting BMI regardless of the pre-op 2 week diet.

I think she meant , "gastric bypass" , because there is not a difference between sleeve and gastric sleeve. But the gastric bypass patients do have malabsorption issues
