1-Month Post Surgery And Am Pleased



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my 1-month post dr visit. They were pleased with my results 28% of my body fat is gone and my BMI is 38.6! YAY!!! I am finally allowed to exercise...another big YAY!

I asked them what my goal weight was...they responded 170. I was kinda shocked because I thought it would be 150.

What was your doctor's goal and what is your goal?

Mine is 155...I cannot remember when I weighted that; maybe junior high?

I think that the doctors goal is usually a certain percentage of your body fat gone (I think it's 60-70%, I'm not sure on the exact figure though) so if you lose that much, in the eyes of the medical community- your sleeve has been a success!

Moonsiren- 150? That seems so low for a 6 foot tall female! I'm 5'7" and my 'normal' weight and goal weight are 147lbs.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
