I'm scheduled to have surgery 6/24. I have a BMI of 37 and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar starting point? I had a bunch of comorbidites so my insurance company approved with ease. I was wondering how much weight people with similar starting BMIs have lost. Thank you!

I'm 7 weeks out of surgery and doing great. I hope you all are as well. I'm certainly not going crazy trying to keep up with others - I'm just enjoying the ride. 43lb down since June 5th (when I started Opti) and 26lb down since June 26th (surgery date).

How soon after surgery did you get the OK to drink protein shakes/optifast? I was sleeved on Thursday and my doc said I could go ahead with the shakes.

Meeting daily fluid requirements
Angel444 replied to crazzeescrapper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Thursday and I haven't had any issues with liquids. I'm having around 3 optifast a day and a ton of water. No problem. I thought I was the only one. -
Horrible gastric issues from pre surgery antibiotics
Angel444 replied to Poseyrosey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on antibiotics for H. pylori and my surgery is this Thursday. They made me incredibly sick until my doctor allowed me to take them with yogurt. I haven't had any issues since. Thank god -
Thanks for the replies!

My surgery is on Tuesday. I've been on my pre-op diet since June 5th. I've already lost 17lb. I was starting at 240 I'm now 223 (I'm 5'7"). I'm excited to get this done so that my back and knees will stop hurting!

I am scheduled to have the sleeve procedure done on 6/24 and I just received a call from my surgeon's office. They told me that my biopsy showed that I have Helicobacter pylori Infection. I have to take antibiotics for 2 weeks. Anyone else experience this?

Success W/post-Op Breastfeeding
Angel444 replied to Singlemama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 months post-op tomorrow, and my little guy turns one of the 13th. We're still going strong re: nursing (3-4 times daily, and additional sessions on demand), and have no plans to wean anytime soon. Best of luck! I'm so happy I found this thread. My daughter is almost 11 months and still nursing. I started my liquid diet today and I'm so nervous that this will impact my daughter. I've read things about toxins being released in the milk while on a liquid diet. Does anyone know anything about that? My doctor told me that as long as I'm producing I should be fine nursing my daughter. I'm a little concerned. She eats a ton of food and usually has 2 bottles of pumped milk during the day along with nursing at night and in the morning. I'm so glad I'm not alone here!
