    69-year-old woman here.

    Pre-op at Outback, I'd have skipped the whole onion thing (terrible stuff and never would have indulged in that), eaten a 6 ounce filet, a baked potato with butter/sour cream, an order of broccoli, a slice of bread with butter. I'd have had unsweetened tea or 6-8 ounces of red wine. And no dessert.

    Now, nearly 9 months post-op and at goal, if I were out at a steakhouse on a weekend "special night" meal, I'd have 3 ounces of filet mignon (would take the leftovers home), broccoli (would probably eat half the order and take the rest home), 1 slice of bread (and maybe a little butter?), and 4 ounces of red wine. And that's it. I'd be full and content. And have enough leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day.

    For me, it's a question of Portion Control, etc. -- and making sure I'm getting plenty of Protein and good, healthy carbs. The treats for me that night would be the (probably not whole-grain) bread and the wine.

    Or is wine a necessity? ;)

    wine is always a necessary! I miss a glass every once in awhile now. I am only 3 weeks out - so no way :)

    I too was going crazy with #'s. I finally stopped getting on the scale and go by how my clothes feel. I will be two months out and I'm down 2 clothing sizes. I've tried every fad diet and would lost a little and then my body would plateau for so long that I'd give up and regain everything. Post surgery I think about everything I eat. I have not been perfect but I'm aware of everything I eat now. Appreciate the progress and don't get hung up on the numbers . . . it will drive you crazy.

    great advice... i am 3.weeks out - weighed at my one week appt and that is it. I agree on the fad diets - I did it so much I had to have gallbladder surgery. I am worried about the 3 week stall. i havent exercised much - i have a broke foot. Darn it!

    Four days ago I made three weeks post op and I think I am having the dreaded three week stall! I am the same 266. PTL that I did not gain which I think at this point would be hard to do, but staying the same is sad. I am eating as my dietitian and I work out five days a week for fifty minutes I just have to press through. I know, I know embrace the stall. Words of encouragement are welcomed.

    I was sleeved 12/30 - I lost 15lbs the first week. Cant wait to weigh tomorrow. I wonder what the deal is the 3rd week? I will remember your press on words! Also, 1 Cor 2:9........

    Hi Guys! I am being sleeved on Jan 14th. I am really getting nervous. For all that have had the procedure done, was it worth it? Any regrets?

    I am one week out of surgery & regret it! But I also had a hiatal hernia repair & I have a lot of pain & can hardly get anything down! I now wish I would have tried harder to lose weight & exercise!!!! I'm so weak & feel like I'm starving to death! 14 lbs in one week but I'm miserable!!!! I keep praying that I will heal quickly from the 2-surgeries!!!!! Just being honest!
    i was sleeved the 30th and had the hiatal hernia fixed. It does hurt some to swallow anything and I would love to chug a bottle of water!!! I hope this does resolve soon as this is incomfortable to say the least. Hope you feel better soon## oh!! I lost 15lbs.
