I started at 227 lbs, because I was overweight, I had several health issues that were my real motivation for the surgery. I don't regret it for a second. Everything is getting better. I had surgery Nov. 19th and have lost 37 lbs. Most of my issues have already resolved or are resolving. I am apparently losing a bit over a half a pound a day. How long will this continue if I stay faithful to the program?

Has anyone kept their surgery a secret?
J Johnston replied to J Johnston's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am a pretty private person, I only told the people I know and trust. I am in a group of 10 people who are in the same phase. One of the women is from the home town of my parents. Boy, do I regret telling her that! Apparantly she gossipped and my mom, who was doing grocery shopping, got asked by a someone random if I were to have the gastric surgery 😕 Why, oh why do people talk about other people. Xapphirea, it has always been thus. -

Only my husband, children and best friend know. I'm very private. Because my husband is dieting and we are eating very low carb, when folks ask, I attribute it to a change in diet.

Ya know what's awesome????

It also depends on how much you have to lose. -
I am 1 month out. It took me about 30 minutes to finish about 8-12 oz. right after surgery. That's why they say sip all day long. I don't try to drink a lot in one setting ever. It leaves your stomach pretty quick, so just try to carry a bottle with you everywhere. Listen to how your stomach feels, stop BEFORE you feel full. My doc want 40-48 oz. a day. I just spread it out.
