Well I am 43 years old and weighed 253 before I had the sleeve done on 12/19 I have excellent insurance from my job!! So I met Dr Mckeen on 11/30 had 2 more visits and in less than 3 weeks had my surgery!! It all seems to fast I was finding myself in aww due to what would be next. I am now 235 pounds in 6 days this is amazing!!

I am on all liquid diet I started premier Protein shakes 2 days ago and I am able to consume 22 ounces totalling 60 grams of protein but I find myself feeling a little discomfort by evening time. Am I trying to hard??

Welcome Rocio, your journey so far has been fast. Did you do a lot of research first, if you did not have time then use this site to get answers to questions. There is a search facility and lots of answers - you will find that the same questions come up on a regular basis. I would suggest that you look at the following to get started

3 week stall

Depression after surgery/buyers remorse

What to eat on purée/soft diet stage

If you do have any questions then just post them and you will find that there are lots of helpful people on this site who have lots of experience.

There is one thing I would urge you to do and tat is to take your measurements, you will find periods when the scale does not move and when this happens recheck your measurements and you will find you have lost inches.

Also claim this weigtloss journey for yourself and do not try to compare yourself to others and their weigtloss, you will ALWAYS find someone who loses faster than you and if you compare yourself it is easy to get down. Your body will lose weight at the rate that is best for you - keep on mind that your journey may take longer than you think.

Again welcome, this is a brilliant site.

Cathy thanks for the info!! I had looked into the bypass last year but it was gonna be a 6 month process before the surgery so I got discouraged! A friend at work had the sleeve done in August and he lost 80 lbs I was amazed!! So he recommended me to his dr and here I am

I was so tired of diets that would only work for awhile then at a stand still I was ready for the change!!
