You sound just like me Im 5'8 but lost less then you have Im at 252 and tomorrow is my 1 month out as well. So dont be down you have passed me up. You lost more on the pre op part I did not, Im still trying to eat I seem to only get a Protein shake in and then like 2 tablespoon of Beans or cottage cheese. How is the eating part for you going?
-
Good luck on your surgery it will go by so fast Im a month out and I forgot all about the pain and pre op diet Im just waiting for the incisions to look better.

Well it happend to me this week my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up and its only been 4 weeks since my surgery. Bascially he said I was going to get skinny and leave him so he decided to do it now and not later. I was so mad since he was my supporter in all this. Now Its back to online dating I guess ugh so frustrating. But at least now I can start all over with someone new

You have done so great I cant wait to be at goal. When I did Weight Watchers the McDonalds Cheeseburger was only 7 points which is not alot so in that sense I dont think you would gain weight back Im not sure on the stretching that is a good question. I have had the sleeve now for 4 weeks and I love the fact I eat 2 tablespoons of Beans and im stuffed.

You will love it I wish I would have done it 2 years prior., I was 250 then worked out and did WW for a year lost 50 then gained it all back plus 30. I was so happy when I finally made the choice to do this as I have lost 26 lbs and cant wait to keep on loosing. Good luck

I have a question I have seen similar post to this about band to sleeve, how come you have to get a revision did the band not work? if not why? I was originally going for the band but my dr said no to do the sleeve so I just agreed with him. Should I be happy I did not get the band?

Im glad you surgery went so well. Whats odd is how every dr and hosipital is different. I was not allowed any Water or tea or even ice chips after my surgery for 24 hrs. I was so thirsty they actaully watched me drink some Water and spit it out. You are so lucky to beable to do that right away I was misrable
-
Im so sorry that this has happened to you, maybe you can get a second opinion from another dr to help you. I am 4 weeks out and still prefer liquid as eating is just not comfortable. Take Care

I found Preimier shakes at costco pretty affordable and they are good. I got vanilla but i think they have chocolate too. also chicken broth with a packet of the top ramin seasing packet is pretty good thats what I lived on for a week. After the surgery your going to be on liquid anyways so its good to get use to what works and what you like. Im almost 4 weeks out and still prefer liquid to eating since it is not a good feeling afterwards.

I had to do a 1 week liquid diet before my surgery to shrink my Liver and it was really hard but I did it because I knew if I did not do it then they would cancel my surgery. I was still hungry dont get me wrong and yours is longer but the idea of loosing weight or in my case shrink my liver I would do what ever it took. It was hard but the Protein shakes do help and I lost 8 pounds in that one week. So my thought for you is if you can do the Protein Shakes 2xs a day then a small meal then you should loose in a month vs 3 months. Good luck and remember its all worth it Im down 26 pounds since Oct 14th and I always see these sayings which is inspiring is nothing feels as good as being healthy and happy.

I have not been to a meeting I just have used this as a way to get incouragement and read others stories and chimed in in when it relates to myslef.

It took me 6 months to get through the process just be patient it will all work out.

I had a 10% deductable so it cost me 1600 bucks on top of the 1,000 out of pocket I had to get to for the year in order to reach that 10% covered. It was money I did not have but its better then the 20,000 oop

I was fighting a cold before my surgery and they knew it because when I did blood work my White blood cells were high which tells them my body was fighting something off. It lasted a week and then i was tested again and was cleared for surgery, but if they did not go down I was going to have to reschudele per my dr. Good luck and feel better
-
My process took 6 months I started back in May and had my surgery in October. good Luck
-
I just started having side pain on my right side where I did not have it before. Im 3 weeks out and thought I should be feeling better not worse. Its so stange
-
I started the process early May of this year that after I found out my insurance convered me. From May till September it was pretty much waiting to get approved I did all the appointments that needed to be done and was denied once. After I was approved 6 months later of waiting it only took 2 weeks for a surgery date. I am now 3 weeks post op and 25 pounds lighter and am happy I waiting and had the patients to do so. Good luck

Congrats Im 3 weeks out from surgery and waiting for that moment I can take a selfie and feel accomplished
-
I took 2 weeks but could have went back after 1 week. The worst part is the first few days after that its not a big deal. I have had other surgeries way worse. Such as implants, wisdom teeth and pregnancy
-
I took 2 weeks off and was ok to go back the third week but I am tired and one of my incisions opened up so Im not feeling really well now and Im almost 4 weeks out. Everyone is different good luck
-
I have been in your position back in May it all will work out. I was denied and then approved not Im 3 weeks out and the stress is still on me but knowing I have made this one step to being healthier really helps me mentally. Good Luck
