I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

Go stop into the bathroom

Hi all. I've been at a stall for about 6 weeks. Not always making the best choices either...

I am thinking about doing a 4-5 day juice fast to get me back up and running. Anyone try this?

I don't know about a juice fast, there's a lot of carbohydrates in juice.

might you consider protein shakes instead?

Go to a broth and clear liquids diet. Stay strong and don't give in. Stay the course for life.

Yes could do the premier protein shakes.

I was hoping that a short juice regime would be healthy and help me to get refocused. But I don't know for sure...

I don't think the juice is a good idea. You need to stick to protein. All the carbs in juice will just make you crave it more. My Doc said to avoid juice for the rest of my life.

Ah - yes good point!

I didn't think this through too carefully and I thank all of you for your quick responses and support!!

I'll give the protein shakes a good solid few days - it worked well before surgery so why not now?

I am 7 pounds from my goal weight! These last pounds have been a struggle

Surgery Oct 5. Have lost 45 pounds. Nice to hear updates!

We are very close in our weight loss. I was also sleeved on October 5th and I'm down 46 pounds.

It is nice to hear about other success, and to know Someone else has a similar weight loss as me.

We are very close to same

Went shopping today for a A fitted suit jacket and matching pants for an upcoming job interview. I'm so excited that I was able to shop in a regular department instead of the big ladies section or a store like Lane Bryant's!! I've gone from a size 22 to a size 16. I'm guesstimating when reach my goal I'll be between size 8-10[emoji4]

I know what you mean. I went shopping last weekend with my husband. I told him look I get to shop in normal stores now. He just laughed at me. I am in mostly 14 but can fit in some 12. Keep up the good work. I went and signed up at the gym again. Time to get serious again. Been slacking off a little. Haven't gained anything, still loosing but soooo slow.

Doing well. Have 35 pound to reach goal. Down 115 so far! Feeling wonderful!

Doing great. I'm officially down 90 now. 14 lbs to my doctors one year out goal (already!) and 35 to personal final goal. I'm in size 10 to 12 depending on how it was made. And I'm running 5Ks like its my new job. Hehe. I feel amazing. This is the best thing I ever did for myself.
