Hi I was wondering if anyone new anyone that has had a sleeve done with a BMI of 31? I have struggled 12 years on and off diets and I have come to the conclusion this is my only way to get to a healthier lifestyle.

You will do great, you will have to let us know how your doing after you rest and recover. Just think a couple months out you will be a new man:)

Guy from Texas welcome. I'm so excited for you. This is the new start to the new you. I am almost three months out and so happy I did this. I know guys lose weight faster than women so get ready to drop weight fast. If you have any questions please ask us. Good luck and I will say a prayer for you. Get ready for the next chapter in your life.

Thank you, it will I have hit one too for about 2 weeks now. The scale won't budge but I'm thrilled to have lost my 40 so I'm not going to get too greedy lol

I meant to say "than I was big enough for surgery" lol

Turner, you will love it. I can't tell you how much my life has changed for the better over the past three months. I have got my self confidence back. I struggled with my weight for 11 years yo-yo dieting. I could take the weight off but I would put it back on. I look at this as a tool I can use forever if I do what I'm supposed to and not drink carbonated drinks and not over stuff myself. I have heard that people can gain the weight back if they do stuff their not supposed to. Everyone I see makes such a big deal when they see me, which makes me feel great. I have had a lot of people say "you weren't big enough to have surgery" and I say this " if my BMI considers me obese, than I wasn't too big for surgery." So I am so pleased with my weight loss. I have 15 more pounds and I will be at my goal 135. I had my surgery Aug 9 and I have lost 43 pds. I'm excited for you, it going to be a new start to a new life. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Turner have you had surgery?

I pretty much can eat anything. That is a great idea about the Greek yogurt I need to do that. Keel up the good work, you will be at goal in no time. Jamee:)

Almost 5 6

Hello I had my surgery Aug 9th. My Bmi was 31 I weighed 189. I weigh 149 now, I have stayed this weight for a while so I'm guessing I'm really gonna need to step up to lose the next 20. I'm worried I have loss some muscle because Im having a hard time getting all my protein on. The protein shakes makes me sick. But I have been eating lots of cheese, chicken and beef. Im kinda getting nervous for my 3 month follow up blood work, I hope I'm not really low in anything. Y'all are doing great, keep up the good work.

Hi Aug sleevers I had mine Aug 9th and I have lost 32 pds. Do y'all think the weight loss is about to slow down?

I had mine Aug 9th, I was hoping it would get easier over time but it hasn't. I'm always worried about getting dehydrated. Good luck to y'all

I'm with you on the drinking thing. I struggle to get my liquids In. I had my surgery Aug 9 and I wouldn't mind if I couldn't eat or drink. I guess we are going to have to buck up and drink our 64ounces and get our protein in. We don't want to get sick from not following the Dr. Orders. There are days when I'm lucky to get in 30ounces. Good luck

Yes, I'm in school full time so I have to.

I'm feeling great. I'm 15 days out and doing wonderful. I still get nervous about getting a leak but other than that everything is going well.

I didn't have a pre-op diet. My BMI was 31. I heard the main reason why they do the pre-op diet is to shrink the fatty liver before surgery. I'm sure the higher your BMI is the more they worry about the liver.

Are you getting excited?

I think they are talking about Nectar mixes. This is a powder protein which you can mix with water or milk. The whole package contains 23g of protein. When are you scheduled for surgery?

I just started the bariatric advantage vitamins they really aren't too bad price wise. I didn't get the post op kit but most of them come in a three month supply. If you don't want to spend that much you can go to that website and copy the ingredients and compare to other vitamins. I haven't tried the drinks.

I hope drinking liquids gets better because I'm struggling to get mine in.

I havent had a carbinated beverage that was supposed to say popcicle

You poor thing I guess I should stop complaining now, since you have gone through all that. I'm praying for us all that we do well and have a speedy recovery

What are you eating 2 weeks out?

Lol I meant sugar free Popsicle
