I only have to do pre-op diet for 2 days. Seems so odd after reading on this site. I am trying to cut out carbs - maybe 8lbs. MsMe and Cutepretty1 - you are inspiration that I can do this!!

Thank you! That was a very nice comment.

I picked a goal that is 60 pounds less than surgery weight. Not sure if I will get there or whether I will want to but time will tell. My surgery was October 1st (revision from lapband) and already I am almost halfway to goal. No complaints :)

I have abou 60-70 to lose. I'm worried about losing too much weight. From what i'm reading people are losing 100 plus lbs, that would be too much!! How can maintain a weight were comfortable with?

I need to lose 60. My surgery was 10/26 217. Today 193. Only 24 lbs down in 6 weeks (not sure why soooo slow). Want to get to 133. I'm 5'6".

Fingers crossed.

I did a revision from band to sleeve back in 5/19/15..i was 226 pounds. Band had slipped out of place and had to come out. Insurance approved it no questions asked. At first i was hesitant because of the fear of getting denial. Weight started dropping slowly since my target goal weight was not much to drop considering my height of 6"1 bmi should be at around 25. Currently going almost 7 months post op and weighing 179 pounds. I truly thought the weight loss would be much slower but i guess is all about how body anatomy truly is different from men/women.. Weight will drop for sure just need to keep on and be patient. There are days were it may feel like is not gonna work but it truly does.. Hang in there and this forum is hear to help you in times of need..

That is 4 pound average per week. I don't think you are going slow at all! Keep it up :)

My surgery date is scheduled for December 23, 2015. 13 days and counting. I'm still waiting for my approval and i call my insurance company every day and they say, "it's pending". I'm getting a little nervous and anxious! I currently weigh 204 and my goal weight is 140 so I am right with you all 50 - 60 pounds and hopefully more. I'm just looking forward to getting off all these medications and living a healthy life.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
