It's as if you wrote my post for me. In the same situation. This morning and yesterday the scale went up a couple pounds and I've doing everything I'm supposed to do and then some. Trying to be patient and not be discouraged but it's definitely reminiscent. I'm typing this as I step on the stair master. Let's try to stay focused and remember it's a part of the journey. Chin-up! We'll get there.

Congrats! Tomorrow will be my two weeks. I'm doing well and feeling good. Going by my doctors scale. I am down 18 pound in all and 9 since surgery.

Thanks for sharing. We tracking similarly.

I did not start that until week 3 when I started on puréed foods. Basically everything is a liquid right now for you so no reason to wait 30 minutes. Also I was consuming about 8oz over a 60 minute period at first and then was able to drink a 11oz shake in about 30 minutes by the end of the week. My stomach healed quickly so you may or may not be able to consume as much as fast as I did.

Every now and again a hint of doubt creeps up. Surgery is 5/25. ....Wondering if this is normal.

I was a nervous wreck as I was wheeled in but I knew I wasn't turning back. Be patient with yourself. Your body has gone through so much. Of course your emotions are out of whack. I keep feeling like I'm doing something wrong. Drinking hot Water with crystal light but not enough. Drinking a Protein Shake but worry that I'm not sipping slow enough. Made a Soup and strained out the broth today but would have preferred to eat the food. Made turkey meatballs as part of my families dinner this evening and it was so hard not to eat one but I didn't give in. Been walking quite a bit and praying for the strength to get this right. Little by little I suppose.

Thanks so much! I do know that this is the right thing for me I am excited but scared too. Wish I could click my heels and be 3 months post but I'll manage and know that it will be so bitter sweet. Glad to be a part of a supportive community.

Hi all, I know it depends on person and how much you had to lose, how active you were and how you eat but I am wondering for those who have hit goal? Or are close how long did it take you?
If you are comfortable sharing your numbers (stats) that would be great for reference. I have about 110 to lose for my goal. Also how much exercise and how serious you were about doing low/no carb during that time would be helpful.
Also do you have an opinion on if you should hit it as hard as you can exercise like crazy eat no carb for the first year and then once in maintain mode ease up into a more normal life, or did you try to keep some normalcy the whole time? Like having a little bit of carbs or a sweet on occasion and moderate exercise?

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow at 9am as well. Looking forward .... My very best to you.

I am 2 years out and consume in the ballpark of 1900 to 2100 calories per day, although I don't really count, track or measure anything. I consume about 120 grams of Protein per day.
I do not count carbs or fat...I eat as much of these as I please. Since I sucked at adhering to diets in the past, I've decided I will not engage in the dieting mentality again.
Breakfast: 3 cups of coffee with half & half Creamer and artificial sweetener
Late morning: 1/2 cup cottage cheese and a baked apple
Lunch: Roasted chicken drumstick, 1/2 cup side salad, 1/2 cup Spanish rice
Mid afternoon: Roasted chicken thigh, two cheese quesadillas, 1/2 cup salad
Late afternoon: Quest chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar
Dinner: Flatbread pizza with turkey pepperoni and jalapenos
Bedtime: Roast beef & cheddar sandwich on 45-calorie multi-grain bread

Thank you for your answer,
I am wondering how long you have been in maintenance for?

I'm May 25th as well. Can hardly believe it's finally here. Would love to click my heels and wake up 3 weeks post-op but..... I know I'll get through it.

Hi! I'm scheduled for surgery on the 25th also! I'm having it done in Mexico.

Mine is the same day but at Danville, PA Geisinger Medical Center

I am having surgery this day and was hoping to meet others that might be there at the same time. Thanks
