How much weight have you lost since surgery?

@loss78. Yes I do I had a sleeve done Dec 23 with Dr. Katkhouda and I've lost 50 lbs in 7 weeks. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck with everything:)

Wow! Thank you! I just looked over his website so I am going to mention this to my Doc. Their website alone is very informational! And it's great to hear from someone who has already gone through this and is happy with the surgery and the outcome. Thanks again for the advice! @@mindytaylor08 I haven't been approved for the surgery yet myself so I haven't lost anything.

That's awesome. How do you feel?

[Loss78 50]

That is awesome!!! How much did u lose from the pre op diet alone? These posts are really helping me, I can only hope that one day I will also be posting my post open weight! Thank you to all who have responded to this post!

Pretty good actually.

The first 2 days were manageable as long as I kept up on my meds. Days 3-5 I went from taking meds every 6 hours to every 10-12. Day six I no longer needed the pain meds. The first 3 days I also had the gas pain.. which was extremely annoying.

Pre op diet I lost 8 pounds.... which put me back at 273. My last supervised diet visit was Dec 8th. My pre-op diet began January 13th. In-between that time I had gained 8 pounds but lost it again during pre op diet. The diet that I was given was 2 Protein Shakes and then a regular meal for dinner for 2 weeks. .... I have read about others having to do 2 weeks on a liquid diet.< /p>

Yeah I was wondering because so many people have had different orders from their surgeons regarding the pre-op diet... Congrats on all of your weight loss so far and keep up the good work!!
