That is great! You guys will be 4days ahead of me. Are you guys on a pre-op liquid diet? My dr did not give me a pre-op diet so I am counting down days I have left to eat.

Best of luck to you too, Bigchubs!

I am on a 2 week preop diet. I drink 5 Premier Protein drinks a day. It has been hard a few times but overall doable.

I felt good in a few days. better than normal in that i had no desire to eat and did not think about food 24/7. IT is quite a load off my mind. But the feelings keep changing. it is hard for the mind not to get too worked up: when the weight began to crater i worried it would not continue, when i still did not care about food a month later then i wondered if i would ever be able to eat with other people, now my interest in food is increasing so i worry i will go back to craving food ( not yet). the sleeve is a great reality check--probably its best feature is that when i get a bit in a hurry or get emotionally upset and start eating it stops me right in my tracks.

I was sleeved on Oct 4th 2013 -good luck everyone -I started at 542 before the two week liquid diet 524.8 the morning of my surgery and I'm now at 512.4 this morning. I would assume I'm one of the larger people on this board, but hope to be around 300 by next year.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
