I was sleeved Jan 19. I have lost 45 lbs. In the beginning, the weight came off quickly, now the weight loss is much slower. I have noticed that other postings are mentioning their weight loss is slowing down. I am not counting calories, but I am trying to make better choices for my foods. Trying to pick foods that are high in Protein, but I do not always choose the healthiest foods. I need to work on getting more protein and to get my butt moving. If I do this, I am sure the weight would come off quicker. As far as fullness, I do notice when I eat a protein packed meal, I find I am satisfied with my 4 oz. and am not hungry for hours.

Sleeved on Jan 22nd, lost 33lbs post op, 73 lbs total. Only hungry if I'm bored. Starting to finally feel alive again, see surgeon next week and will get cleared to return to Curves. Too cold to walk so need curves to get moving again. Keep taking in my cloths and buying new. Went from size 20 to a 12-14. Still have around 50 lbs to go.

I had mine on jan 3rd. So far down 73 lbs. I have had my blood pressure meds reduced from 20 mg to 5 mg. I go to the gym three nights a week and do about an hour on the treadmill. Currently eating between 600-800 calories a day with between 70-100g of Protein. I realized that making sure I get enough protein and drinking Water all day has helped when the weight loss slows down or stalls.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
