Hi,

My name is veronica, my surgery was in March 21st.

in my experience I really thought it was going to be painful, but I just had a few days of great time at home with my kids.

I'm up to 10cc and I just started to feel the band in my body.

My start weight was 218.

I'm 185 now. although I have lost very little I have went from size 16 to 12 and so far I feel great.

I met this lady tha lost about 50 pounds in 3 months but she is now feeling very weak and she has been admitted to the hospital once because she is not eating well.

I rather loose little by little but I hope to do better with this last adjustment.

Veronica

Most reputable programs suggest that we lose two to three pounds a week. Many of us lose more or less for

periods and sometime we stay the same for a while then lose ten lbs almost overnight, it's seldom linear.

What's important is that we average 2-3 lbs a week over a several month period. If we don't, we're eating too

much no matter what pop science says.

Corrigan,

I went thru a Center of Excellence here in Eugene, OR. It is so interesting to me how different clinics can be even within the C of E network. My surgeon told me this morning to expect no more than two pounds a week and that this month he would be happy if I maintained. I hope for losing five. I did stage one yesterday, started stage 2 today and on to stage 3 by next Saturday. I do not expect to eat much of Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve dinner but they want me on whole food by then.

My surgery went really well. I had superior care post op. I was able to stay overnight asking for more hydration and to have better pain control. Unfortunately, I watched the clock go round.

I am excited but I agree with you, the C of E is well worth the drive. I am very fortunate that it is only fifteen miles round way.

TO VERONICA:

Congratulations on your weight loss and keep on, keeping on with your journey to good health.

Melinda

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
