I was 466 at my highest 460 4 days ago when I started my 2 week liquid diet and on today day 4 I weigh 447. I think a lot of the weight I lost in the last 4 days is probably Water weight. My sleeve surgery is Nov. 19th and I am so excited. I have been looking for other sleevers that have been over 400 pounds to see what kind of results I might be able to expect. I have joined a gym and they have water arobics so I plan to do that until I lose some of this weight and can walk better.

I am on my second bag of GENEPRO Protein powder. It is my safety net when I can't get all my protein from food, which is often since I am still learning to balance food and Water. I made Beans and ham after Christmas and I was adding it to that. I also still have lite and fit yogurt on hand to add it to either in the morning to Jumpstart my protein for the day or at night if I don't hit my protein that day.

My surgery was 11/19 I haven't had any issues with my surgery and am tolerating most foods. I lost 30 pounds from preo op diet and 60 more since surgery. I feel great having 90 pounds off me but I still have a lomg way to go

@@becweaves I am on normal food stage. I am eating a greek yogurt with a scoop (30gm) of grnepro unflavoref Protein Powder each day and then chicken, turkey, and fish for dinners. I have been making a lot of stirfrys with chicken and then some veggies and been eating that. I have just been focusing on getting my 100gm of Protein a day and my liquids in. I have had a chest cold since Dec 14 so no gym just walkinh for exercise

11/19 lost 30 pounds on the preop diet and 53 pounds since surgery.

Hello fellow November sleevers!
Surgery date: Nov 19th
preop diet weight: 460
Surgery weight: 430
Current weight: 412
I had a great surgery with very little pain and almost no nausea. I keep feeling better and better everyday. I went from not being able to stand for more than 5 minutes at a time to walking 3 miles yesterday which was a huge victory for me. I am not able to eat very much about 2oz at a time and I don't even feel like eating that.
I am so sick of Protein shakes the taste is just to much to even think about so I have been getting in my Protein from GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder mixed into greek yogurt. It takes me all day to eat 2 yogurts (10oz) but it gets me my 84g of protein and the rest of the day I focus on my liquid intake.
It is amazing to not be hungry all the time. It was also amazing to see all that food on Thanksgiving and to be happy with just my yogurt. I have been obese since early childhood and I have no idea what it is like to not be obese. I really hope I get to experience a normal BMI at least once in my lifetime. But for now I will be grateful for the ability to walk again. Being able to go on a walk with my husband and dogs overwhelmed me yesterday to the point I want to cry tears of joy as I write this. I look forward to many more tears of joy on this journey!

I am buying 5oz greek yogurts that have 11g Protein and then I put 1 scoop/1TBS of GENEPRO unflavored Protein Powder (30g) and that gives me 41g of protein in 5oz of yogurt. If I can get down 2 of those a day that gives me 82g of protein which is pretty good for only 10oz

Please feel better soon!!!!

I applaud everyone who made it through Thanksgiving on the preop diet!! The diet was hard enough to stick with as it is I feel so lucky to have not had the added pressure of Thanksgiving. I was 8 days out on Thanksgiving and my family kept trying to push all kinds of food on me but I just kept saying no thank you I have my Protein packed yogurt. My mother in law just kept telling me how sorry she felt for me that I couldn't eat dinner over and over. Fianlly my husband told her that this was the whole point of having the surgery and to quit having a pity party that noone wanted to attend. Gosh I love that man

I was 460 when I started my 2 week preop diet on Nov 5th. Surgery date Nov 17th I weighed 428 and 5 days postop I weigh 419. I was really scared I would have complications because I am so big. Surgery actually went great and I even got to leave the hospital a day early because I was doing so good. I feel truly blessed to have had such a wonderful surgeon and anesthesiologist. I have had very little gas pain and almost no nausea. I spent so much time preop worrying about all the things that could go wrong. If I could talk to my old self I would tell myself not to worry until there is actually something to worry about.

@@beachgurl84 I had surgery on Wednesday the 19th as well and I'm so sorry to hear that you were miserable. I feel very fortunate that my surgery went so well. I was ready to walk the halls before I could see straight. I have had no pain and no nausea from the surgery. I had worried that my surgery would be extra miserable because I started this journey at 460 pounds. I am down now to 419 and feeling amazing. The only problem I am having is eating. I really don't want to eat anything. I am just not hungry at all. It has been a chore to get my daily Protein in. After 1-2oz I just feel like there is no way I can do anymore. I really hope you start feeling better soon so that you to may get to experience the joy that I have from surgery.

I have seen a lot of different types of diets on here from other people. Some have the 2 week liquid preop diet like me. Some do liquid during the day and get to eat something like chicken and veggies for dinner. And then there are people who don't have to do any kind of preop diet so I assume it depends on the doctor. I was told that this is a liver shrinking diet to help the doctors be able to get to the top portion of the stomach. I have been on it 8 days and have lost 22 pounds so far. It is hard but feels great to lose some of this weight.

Just had surgery yesterday the 19th. They just brought me in a little tiny cup of Water and said to drink it over the next hour. Walking has been fantastic for the gas pains.
I am amazed at how good I feel. I had been a bit worried because of my weight but it has all worked out perfectly so far.
Good luck to you all who are getting sleeved today and tomorrow and for everyone who has had the surgery already this week I wish you all a speedy recovery
