SleeveG

What a journey!!! I just passed my one year anniversary on 12/15. My starting weight was 377 and I'm now down to 185!!
Best. Decision. Ever.

I had body fat testing with my personal trainer today and he took a progress pic. I figured I would share.
So, I'm at 8.47% body fat and 210lbs that's down from 17.23% and 266 lbs in July. My sleeve was on 10/15.
I'm still trying hard to preserve and build muscle. I'm feeling great! Cheers!

Hi all--
I was looking at the calendar today and realized that today was the six month anniversary of beginning my pre-op diet. I had GSV on March 14, 2016 and, like many of you, can't think of a single regret, other than "I should have done it earlier." If you're on the fence or considering...just do it.
Six months ago today, I was 304 pounds -- a little bit over 40.0 BMI -- and was wearing size 42 pants and right at the bad-edge of XXL shirts. A trip to buy clothes was about as depressing as anything could be. By the time by surgery took place two weeks later, I had dropped 20 lbs. to get to 284.
Today, I'm at 201 pounds, actually pretty much right at where my doctor told me I'd get to in a year. I've wanted to be under 200 for about 25 years, so that's going to happen next week. My goal weight was (and maybe is) 180, but I'll probably settle in around 190 once I get a little more muscle built back up. I'm wearing 34 pants and size large shirts.
Anyway, in every single way you can think of, this surgery has changed my life. I can't recommend anything more strongly.
Onward!

Thanks I saw it at my local Vitamin shoppe will definitely be picking it up. Do you take Calcium and Iron seperate?

SleeveG, you take it once a day. The taste does not bother me at all. I just liked the liquid, and a bottle lasts forever in the fridge.

How many times a day do you take it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

No 2 week liquid diet here. How lucky are we??

Hi I am having my sleeve tomorrow! !! Lol I am using a very reputable and highly rated surgical team I am just curious, I was never requested to follow a 2 week liquid diet just told to keep my intake light the day before. Did anybody else here experience that?? It seems everyone I read about had to do 2 weeks liquid pre op

Good luck my BMI is 44 and I am having surgery in the states. After some further digging I found a few comments on here saying they also had no liquid diet just an 8 hour fast before surgery like I am I guess. But yes I guess we can only trust our surgeons.

I buy it right here, Bariatric Pal Store (click on the Store link on top of this page). You wear it 8 hours. I bought the b-12 one also. Other than that, my other Vitamins, I've gotten the BariMelts at various locations, also Amazon.< /p>
You can wear two of the Patches at the same time.
