Countdown

Hello everyone! I'm on the countdown. My surgery is scheduled for August 30th and I'm excited to get back to me. Your posts have been both informative and encouraging. Is there any place on the forum where people discuss the expected weight loss and does it depend on the starting weight?

    Good luck! It is not a bad recovery at all. Take it easy and have your liquids and mushies ready. Have a variety of options-salty, sweet, creamy, liquid...it helps get the calories in. Believe it or not that is the hardest part the first few days!

    My dietitian used a formula.

    (Current Weight-Ideal medical Weight) X .6 = Goal Weight

    Ok! Surgery done on Aug. 30th, and I'm super bloated--still! Recovery has been very doable and I'm headed back to work in the am. Here we go.
