My hubby and I had ours about 2 weeks apart. We could have had them 2 days apart but were hesitant- our case manager told us that we’d be fine 2 days apart but with 4 kids and Christmas time we didn’t want to both be down. We would have been fine with the 2 days apart and had no issues with the 2 weeks. It does make it easier to keep it close when it comes to food stages. We are now lil over a year out and I’m down 153 from my highest and about 10-20 pounds to my ultimate goal. Loving life in my new smaller body. Hubby hasn’t done as well as he didn’t work past what the surgery will do but he’s off his diabetes meds so that’s a success in itself.

Regress to the Vitamin drinks maybe you'll tinkle the weight off.

I’m down 135 pounds. My heaviest was 323 pounds and I’m sitting at 188 right now. I still have a lot of fat to lose and I do have some loose skin. I have been working with a personal trainer for the last 3 months. I think working out does help with the appearance of loose skin. I definitely can see more tone and definition in my body and less of the hanging skin. The skin is still there and probably will always be but at least you can see my hard work under it.

Disney parks allow outside food. You could pack your food. They also have a ton of options for all dietary needs. Even if you want fast food on the go you can always get their famous giant turkey leg. Just have someone to share it with.

What was your start weight? This is a good reminder of expectations as well. Many programs suggest eliminating Protein Shakes once you are on your normal diet cause they are high calorie. Don't be discouraged - it's a marathon, not a race. [emoji5]

Not everyone has hunger go away after surgery. I'm constantly fighting the hunger both physical and head hunger. I have to make an effort every second of everyday to not give in to it. There has been nothing about this process that has been easy. It's really just a tool
that only works as well as the operator knows how to use it.

I am 8 weeks post op today. The first 4 weeks were pretty hellish. Dealing with emotions, lack of energy, wanting to eat and not being able to, regret - all of it. Between week 4 & 5 things started to turn around. I haven't felt any regret or sadness since then. My energy is back with leaps and bounds. Just Friday I completed a difficult 10 mile hike. I'm down 70 pounds since October 24, 2016 when I started my pre op process.

2 days post op for me. [emoji85]

My hubs was 12/21 and I was 1/9. We could have easily done it at the same time (and we have 4 kids). It was hard not being on the same page food wise for the first few weeks but now we are past that hurdle. We have both lost about 70 lbs since starting our pre op diets. It's been a blessing. I just did a 10 mile fairly difficult hike on Friday. Def couldn't have done that 70 lbs ago.

Liz isn't all that bad once you break the ice. Make sure you've gone to support
group and make sure you stick to the meal plan when she asks you about your Breakfast lunch and dinner from the day before.

I had surgery 1/9 and I'm down 70 pounds since my orientation 10/21.

My hubs was sleeved 12/21 and we've noticed a big difference in all areas. I think is pretty normal perk of weight loss.

I'm in Nor Cal. Sleeved yesterday at
Kaiser Richmond. Great program. Didn't have a 12 week class but they do have additional classes they have you take if
you are having a hard time losing the weight they require pre surgery. My hubs and I started the process the same day and he was sleeved two months from the day we started and I was 2.5 weeks after him.
