I'm nowhere near your age or your height (lucky you!) but wanted to add my vet's advice.

Don't worry about how fast you'll lose the weight. I know, you want to know what to expect and you want to daydream about how you'll look on a particular day. ;) We all do!

The reality is that it will happen when it does and you can't predict it. You might be a super fast loser or a slower one. Either way, you're going to be losing weight and no matter what you can make it to goal.

But I can say from watching the boards that you should have no problems reaching your goal weight.

I'm much shorter than you but was sleeved at 242 pounds and was in the 150s within 9-10 months after surgery.

Good luck!

And I love that Dooter is such a hoot! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
