I am 5'6" and pre op weight was 232. I was 208 day of surgery (October 4, 2011). I lost the majority of my weight by the 6 th month. Today I'm almost 19 months post opt and am pretty much at goal. I love my sleeve. ;)

I'm 5'6" and have been maintaining at my goal (135) for a little more than a year. I prefer a thinner look for myself. I am small boned and like the long, lean look.

I'm 5'6" and just turned 50. Ten years ago I got to my highest weight of 255 lbs so I went on a diet and got down to 190 lbs. I then kept my weight between 190 and 210, but this past year got up to 235.

Surgery weight on 12/18/2012 was 235 lbs. Today I weigh 192 lbs, so I've lost 43 lbs.

My goal weight on my ticker says 140 lbs. but I have a feeling 155-165 will be my ideal weight.

I love my sleeve as it's so much easier for me to lose weight without the constant hunger pains. Another big plus is when out in a restaurant - being only able to eat 1/4 of my meal.

I'm at 165 now but the last two months it seems like I stay at a current weight then drop some on the fourth week. Stupid plateaus oh well at least I'm not gaining lol

      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.
