That depends a lot on each person, overweight...I think it's better not to get obessed with the weight loss and focus on following your surgery plan. I f you do that I'm sure that you'll succeed ?

Every BODY is different, don’t obsess with the scale .

Give yourself Grace

Happy New Year!!!!?

Hi everyone
I am having my surgery on the 13th January. Already started the “Optifast” liquid diet, good way to get used to the reduced meals

With my surgery coming up on the 18th, I'm thinking about logistics. I live 2 hours from the surgery spot. Anyone know how long you need to wait until you drive that far?

Hello All, January 3rd surgery date here??

Congratulations! How did it go?

On Jan 3rd I had my sleeve and so happy that everything was good. Less pain than I thought but take into account that every person is different. Now, already at home, starting my first week diet post op.

Good luck everyone!

After you early Jan patients get your stomachs transformed (congratulations!!!!) And are feeling strong enough, I'd love to hear your recommendations for what I should have on hand for my first week at home.

Hello! Unfortunately, my surgery has been cancelled until further notice (due to COVID). I have been reading and following the Pound of Cure book/eating plan; however, and I feel really great as a result of that. So I'm doing my part to lose what I can while I wait.

I wish I was on your level right now - but I'll get there, soon enough!

Just got my new date : March 8th
