14 weeks out and 70lbs down. I am more than half way to my weight loss goal of 130lbs but may go for 140.

I have been overweight all my life. I am now 37 years old and decided to have WLS. I had my first appointment with my bariatric Dr. On April 25th and after doing my psych eval, gi test and a couple other things the request was sent over for approval. I received the approval notice a week later and now have a surgery date of June 24th! I go for my pre-op this Friday, June 7th. I'm super excited and scared I won't make it through the 10 day liquid diet. Congrats to all the success stories posted here. You are truly an inspiration to me!

I only have a two day liquid diet no protein drinks, just chicken broth , water, tea.. Then I go the 19th for surgery, that's what I'm doing now but havering protein drinks on my own and its tough, good luck to you I'm sure you will do good

U ladys r gonna do great trust me those few days will fly by I had my surgury on may 14 1975 I lost 40 before surgery and 35 after and it gets easyer u ladys hold on my prayers r with u

Three years post op, as of today! I lost 23 lbs prior to surgery, 85 total. I have been maintaining for 2.5 years, going between 144 and 147.

I ment to 2013 guys sorry

Sleeved one is the most important May 7 and down 23 lbs. Finally getting past a 3 week stall.

May 7...here I come!!

Wow! I just looked back on my pre-op diet, I had surgery 6/19/13 and as of today I lost 95lbs. I didn't drink as much water for a week and my weight loss went into a stall, now I'm drinking at least 64oz of water daily, I don't count the other liquids I drink and none of its carbonation. My foods I eat are only foods that have protein in it, I have had a couple of bouts with mind hunger but I got through that by getting back on track. I have a ways to go still but I feel much better. Good luck on your journey on your weight loss.

I'm in the process of getting all my clearances, cardiology, pulmonary, etc. So ready for this. I'm hoping for 2nd week in November. Current weight 260. I'm a solid girl so many people tell me I don't look this heavy, but I am going to be so happy when I can strip off the layers of clothes that I hide under.

You sound like me. Just getting approvals done now, and hoping for surgery in Dec. I'm at around 265 at 5'8, BMI at 40, so insurance said I'd be a candidate for the sleeve. I've been this high for about 9 years. Yo yo dieting has made my hunger levels go through the roof! I'm always hungry. I'm hoping some of that will subside with the surgery.
