@@Kyn13 It will most likely depend on your Surgeon. At higher BMIs, they often want a weight loss prior to surgery so there are less risks. You may have a pre-op diet to reduce the size of your liver and you will certainly lose weight then. The fact that you lost a good amount during your supervised program is great!! Don't stress - whatever happens will be for the best. Good luck!

I am scheduled for Aug 25th and currently in day two of pre-op diet. This is my third procedure as I had a band which worked famously for me (-130lbs) until I suffered an erosion and had to have it removed. I lasted two years at a stable weight near my goal but the last year has been tough and without the tool I've gained some weight back... Thanks to all the posters on the forums as I'd been away and learned a bunch before making my sleeve decision since I've been back. Thanks and good luck to you all in your weight loss journey.

I'm not really a fan of Donald Trumps show on Sunday nights, but I did watch a few clips tonight and was watching Star Jones more than anything really admiring how she has done so well with her weight loss. I haven't really followed the media stuff on her but was pretty sure she had had some sort of WLS- but didn't know which one. So, I googled her to see what I could find. Not with any big surprise, she had the GB. The reason I'm posting about this is that in this article, she talks about all the very same things everyone else speaks of here with their insecurities, the denial we go through before it takes us to hit bottom and do something. But, then, to go further she talks about the way she has felt even after having lost the weight and the struggles she has had as well. I'm glad that she has been able to stay successful regardless of which surgery she had- but I thought it might be nice for anyone who wished to read her comments because I think she puts what we all feel so gracefully.... http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/2007/08/star-jones-weight?currentPage=1

Which one do you do ? Which one is right? Puree phase I did 4 ounce to fit in a 4 ounce container. Now I'm 6 week out. 4 ounces of Solis food won't fit in a 4 once container. ( it might if I cut it up) I want to do this right... I bought so many 4 ounce containers now I'm thinking of just buying small container's for meal prep.

Just hang in there - we all seem to go through a flat patch - or like you, even put a bit on, in the first few weeks. A bit of extra salt might mean you retain water or something... Never fear, the weight loss starts again. Just stick to your plan, a great journey is just starting!

1. log your food 2. weigh your portions 3. change up your routine - does your workout still leave you in a puddle of sweat? 4. no added sugar 5. no simple carbs 6. adj your expectations and expect slower weight lose for the next year + 7. Hydration never stops being important number 7 should have been #1 good luck and stay positive

How do I add my weight tracker automatically? Or can't I? Thank you -
I love to live in the moment. I haven't been losing weight and I'm working on not stressing about it too much. I can't control what's going on in my body, but I can control what I choose to think about. So, here's to a healthy me both physically and mentally.

My insurance required 1 year of supervised weight loss, plus psych evaluation, etc etc etc -
The only thing to eat without carbs is meat. eggs have. 5 carbs. Yellow cheese has 1. Broccoli has a few. How is that healthy eating just meat? I say cut out the REFINED carbs (sugar, white bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes-even tho theyre not refined) and eat veggies, fruit, cheese, eggs, Beans, Peanut Butter, etc. Inunderstand how u can lose weight being so strict on carbs but living forever its not realistic. Even 20 gms (which Atkins Induction suggests) is difficult to do for more than 2 weeks, not understanding how someone can survive on it forever. Thank God my body loses (slowly but surely) on eating less food, not no carbs. Good luck...

I'm March 10th too but will be having my surgery in the states. I'm a Mom of two girls, 10 and 11. Even though I'm nervous, I know that once I can drop this weight I will be able to do so much more with them. I'm not scared yet, but I'm sure as it gets closer the nerves will kick in. good luck!

Hello everyone! I was sleeved Oct 2015 and I am now almost 6 months post op and I have lost 58lbs. My goal is 80lbs as of now so I am almost there. I started off as an size 18 refusing to even look at a size 20 and a few days ago I bought a size 12 in old navy jeans when I realized the size 14 jeans that I had gotten a few weeks ago were starting to look baggy! I say all of that to say that even though I almost 60lbs down and have lost 3 pants sizes, when I look in the mirror, my brain doesn't quite register the weight loss. I mean I see some definite changes and I know into a smaller size but it does not look like 60 lbs to me. To me, I guess it looks like maybe 30lbs. I guess I zone in on what parts of my body I need to work on. When did your brain finally catch up with your body?

My surgery was June 8th, 2012, so I am just over 10 months out. I have lost 82 pounds and have stalled. I have been tracking what I eat and exercise. I try to stay around 800 calories a day but definitely under 1000. I try to exercise an hour a day, not including chasing my kids and house work (lol). I have been at the same weight for close to 2 months I believe. I always struggle with water intake, but I am trying to improve, just not a big drinking in general. I have been laid off since March 1st so that has been an adjustment, but I started tracking food and exercise to make sure I wasnt going nuts now that I had a kitchen available to me at all times. Any advice, suggestions, etc would be great!

Hi Hannah, I'm only 4.5 months out. I had a very difficult time eating in the beginning so I wasn't getting my recommended amounts of Protein and Water. I wasn't losing weight like I wanted because of this. I started supplementing with more high Protein shakes instead of regular food. Maybe you might do better if you drink your protein. I hope your situation changes soon. Good luck!

That's wonderful and your hard work has definitely paid off. I'm starting to get back into cloths that I haven't seen in a few years. I'm hoping I drop more weight by summer. I use my fitness pal for a food journal and I have a fit bit that tracks all my activity. I found that I try to hit all my fitness goals daily. Thanks so much for all your help. I wish you continued success. One quick question.. do you follow a special diet?

Keep to the program and work on your water intake. Track your intake of everything even if it's on the nono list. It'll help you determine if/where you are going wrong. Stall are going to happen and so is weight gain. There are a lot of determining factors so don't think you are failing. Most of all be patient, that was my hardest struggle and at times still is. Stay positive mentally and Best To You!!!!

Thank you both. I'm 66 and not sick of food yet. LOL. I am sick of dieting that's for sure. I'm sick of all the diet foods. I've been dieting for over 20 years and sick of it. I'd love to be able to have a slice of pizza now and then and maybe a hoagie or hot dog. We travel a lot and eat out a lot so is this surgery going to hamper my lifestyle? I've been on Atkins on and off for years because it's the easiest to stay on while traveling and eating out... I just tell them hold the Pasta or potatoes and I eat the meat and veggies. I don't think I can force down another plate of scrambled eggs or eat another steak.... ugh! I envy my friends who can eat these things and not gain weight... So I want the surgery, but I want to end dieting. Will this surgery end dieting or will I still be force to follow a diet?

i am getting my sleeve on wednesday! i went back and forth on weight loss surgery..alot has happened in the last 5 years but i finally decided..this is it! i've been seeing my surgeon for the last 6 months, and im so nervous and excited at the same time. BUT friday..i got a small rash on my face. which is odd because i wash my face twice a day and always have clear skin. well....this rash turned into impetigo! and now im scared that this will derail my surgery. its not contagious after tonight...but this is killing me. if my surgeon changes my date again ( the original date was may 5th but it got moved up to april 30th) i would be beside myself. -
So this Thursday is my surgery day. I had only told my husband and my parents up until now. I had my band removed 8 weeks ago, and was ashamed to tell his family, I couldn't handle them judging me. So today I wrote out what seemed like and easy text message, but wasn't... It took all my will to say that I am embarrassed of my weight and my failure with band. I'm ashamed I can't do this on my own. I want to be healthy and here for my children. Talk about a moment of reflection, I prey that I don't fail at this one. CW 264

hi everyone i'm new to the group... i'm a 31 yr old AA woman...living in GA.. i'm married 6 yrs now and we have two handsome boys... i've been struggling with my weight - i've lost the same 50 lbs about 50 times now... so i going to get the sleeve. my insurance still claims that the sleeve is experimental... so i'm Mexico bound... just got my date july 29 with dr kelly in mexico ... anyone else sleeved by this dr?????

Repeat of the above replies... Your sleeve size doesn't make you lose weight, portion size, food choices and exercise do. Of course, this is easier said than done and if I could have done this without surgery, well I wouldn't be here today. Good luck.
