First Thread of the 200+ lb group



Recommended Posts

:thumbup1: Hello everyone.

I was just sleeved this month by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico and I couldn't be happier. Once I decided to have surgery it went by fast. It took only 3 weeks from first contact to the day of surgery. I was a bit nervous at the time but now I have no regrets as the scale is finally under the 300 pound mark.

We are going to have to make a whole new forum just for pre- and post-opers with Dr. Aceves! Down to 50 lbs loss, 20 pre and 30 post op!

Hi Tracy :)

It's me, Wendy, one of the people in Ernesto's van when he picked us up from Lucerna the morning of our surgeries. I met your stepmom in the hospital hall. How are things going? Sounds like you're doing well - 30 lbs post surgery. Great!!! I remember you telling us you had lost 10 and that was one week after surgery. Good for you :)

Well I'm really glad to found this site to hear from others who share the same fights as me. I'm 30 yrs old 6'4 480 pounds, and they tell me I should be around 220 but i think I would be good at around 260-275.

Hello Wendy!

I hope everything went well with your surgury. I am really enjoying things so far. Just started on the blended foods and have enjoyed some "real protein" that isn't mixed in the blender :). Only problem I had post-op is a stitch came loose and one of my incisions has not healed, but doing much better now.

I am very excited at the weight loss and am currently in an outfit that I haven't worn in 2 years and it's baggy! :)

I lost 100 pounds by 4 months....I'd have to check my journal to see what my 6 month mark was... I know when I hit 9 months it when it reallly slowed down for me.

My highest weight was 373... day of surgery was 354.. I now weigh 173....13 pounds from goal weight of 160!!! I am 14 months out...I should have made goal in a year.. but I did not exercise!

But I'm ok with it.. and my personal goal is 150

I think 150 pounds by 6 months might be a bit much.. but it can happen. probably more like 130.

But I never dream I would have lost 100 pounds by 4 months!!!!:thumbup:

Good luck to you!!!!:biggrin0:

I was down 10 lbs in the first 3 days and now 34 at 3 weeks out. I started above 400 befpre surgury. It is easier for tose of us with higher BMIs to loose at a faster rate, it's a % of weight loss, not pounds to consider.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
