It took me two years to lose the 100 pounds that I needed to lose. I needed to change things up often in order to keep my body from getting too used to the program. Try varying your daily calorie count, vary your exercise, increase the intensity of your exercise, add a fast day and add a day with a higher carb count. Mix things up. It worked for me but it took time. As long as each year is a little lighter and healthier than the year before, you are on the right track.

Talk to your doc. Education is always good. I would think your insurance should cover based on your bmi if they cover at all. It was not a miracle cure but so far it's the best decision I could have made. Good luck.

You will be so glad you made this decision. You would like a lovely young woman and you need your outside yo match your inside. The first few weeks will be tough as you'll be tired but in the grand scheme of things, it's a mere blink in time. Make certain you grab all the help you can especially in the first year. Make it count. You can do it. Prayers be with you.

Seems fast to me. Seems to me the longer one goes super low cal, the more messed up the metabolism for life. Slow and steady is awesome.

I just went cold turkey. It was VERY hard. My friends gave me a chip at one month and one year. Take it hour by hour. It's worth it.

Amazing

I've lost 38 pounds since surgery February 9 and 79 pounds since I started the 6 month supervised nutrition.

I'm six months out and I go out to eat all the time. Yes I eat less but I still enjoy food. The sleeve is just a tool that helps you stop overrating.

Try the 7 minute workouts. They keep your heart rate up for a good cardio but they use your own body weight to build muscle. Best bang for your buck. I use an app on the iPhone. I tend to do 3-4 different each time which takes about 40-50 minutes.

For me the limiting factor was exhaustion due to limited calorie intake. I didn't return to normal for about 6 weeks. Workouts were tough in the beginning.

You should walk as soon as you're not too groggy that you'll fall over. You can drive, etc as soon as you no longer need pain pills. For me that was a day or two.
