Currently down 63 pounds: started at 270 and now I'm 206! I feel so lucky to have had Dr Garcia as my surgeon---

I was sleeved 11/8/12 and at the 2 week mark I was down 17lbs.. I weigh in again this thurs ( I vowed to do it once a week). I think it depends on the person though and not the surgeon.

 

People all heal up at different paces and with that are able to eat/drink more then others or some can exercise while others may not be able to or just may not be doing it. Just lots of things to take into consideration :)

 

I am very please with my results I am happy with the scale but even more please with the inches that I seem to be losing to me that speaks in volumes. I have not measured but clothing is fitting differently and just so excited about that!

 

Good Luck! :)

 

Just to give an update, I am a little over 4 months out now and I am down 58lbs since surgery, total of 77 since pre-op diet and a total of 79lbs from highest :)

 

Dr.Garcia and his Staff are great, I would do it all again in a heart beat :)

      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.
