Hi I been sleeved 5 yrs now. So I have been right where your at. I started at 285 lbs. had to do 6 months diet, exercise and nutritional and physiological counsling. I went to 247 lbs day of surgery. But that was hard. I also quit smoking and drinking carbonated soda and removed sugars.

The liquid stage was easy for me. I just drank everything. Slept and was great. I only had 1 issue and it was a stomach bug that bounced me to ER for dehydration (gotta love kids thy give us all the goodies).

I lost to my goal within 7 months past surgery 125-130lbs. But I felt to thin and looked like a skeleton with skin. I'm only 5 3"

With dr permission I gained back to 135 and held that for 4 years. I recently fell off the wagon. (Numerous stressors in my life 5 deaths since October 14). So I am back on wagon liquids and measuring.

I didn't have a chance to cheat pre op. since my date was suppose to be nov 2010 I got called and bumped up ASAP for my surgery. I was approved for the sleeve and head honchos and reps and dr's were all coming in to watch the 1st ever sleeve done in the hospital.

I did have to do Clear Liquids and Protein for 2 weeks and th night before I had to do a gallon of GI cleaner. Yuck. Now that stuff is horrid. 3 days post op stay for observation and home. I was up and walking and in the mall shopping by day 6.
