My point was, expected weight loss is at the 2 year mark for everyone across the board. No one is really expected to hit their goal weight at one year. That is the standard, not 1 year. Only people on forums think you have to lose it all in the first year, because of the "honeymoon" period. Which is total BS. Honeymoon period is just an excuse to never learn proper eating habits.

I am 56 and was sleeved on 12/6/16. My friends and family tell me I look 10 years younger. Best decision I have ever made.

Thank you ladies for telling us exactly how you feel. These are my sentiments as well. I was sleeved on 12/6, which was over a month ago... I've lost 12 lbs since the surgery and pre-op I lost 7 lbs. So, in the past 7 weeks, I've lost 19 lbs in total. However, I've been at the same weight now, for the past 3 weeks!!! I try to remain optimistic, but it's hard. Especially when I read all the posts of 50, 60 and more lbs lost by people that were sleeved after me. Ughhhh!!!

I found I was consuming way more calories on a liquids than I do with solid foods. I also stay full longer. I started dropping more weight with solids.

My NUT told me to concentrate on my body fat percentage. I am almost 5'1, and my goal is 30%.

I had surgery on 12/20. Still pretty tender and sore throats feels a little better, getting all the fluids I can and walking as much as possible! I've heard people recommend Gas-x strips has anyone tried these?

I am so blessed and thank God for this opportunity to regain good health and a full life. So ecxited????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

My sleeve was done on the 6th. I spent a lot of time walking the halls, about everything 90 minutes-2 hours. That really helps. Or if that is too much, then try just standing for a couple of minutes

I am going to Mexico for my surgery on December 6th, and I fly in in December 5th. I have been on my pre op diet for 10 days. Protein shakes with nonfat milk or unsweetened almond milk. This hasn't been hard for me, I am used to depriving myself of meals trying to lose weight. The hard part is waiting until Monday to get on the airplane. I wish it was tomorrow

My pre op diet is 3 Protein shakes a day and lots of green leafy vegetables. I fill up on big bowls of salad greens with about a tablespoon of vinaigrette. That helps with the craving to chew something

Being able to cross my legs!!!

My surgery date is December 6, and I am in the 2 week pre op liver shrinking phase. I drink 3 high Protein shakes and eat several cups of greens per day. I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks, I don't get Migraines, but I get really tired around 8pm. I am a little worried about Thanksgiving with the family, but I think a small piece of turkey will be ok. Any one else have any Holiday concerns?

I'm going to do my best to stick with turkey and greens plus I'm making mashed cauliflower. I need to check the carb content of gravy. I know I'm going to be disappointed! I might see if I can find a low carb recipe.

I had VSG surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 6 years ago. Specifically recommended by several US bariatric surgeons. No middle man.....you deal directly with Dr. Ortiz and his staff. Easy, pain free recovery, no complications, great postop communication and holding steady 160 pounds down.
