My heaviest was 322 April 15 surgery day was 305. Now I'm 290....it's been 1 month. 15lbs. Isn't as much as others but I'm following all the rules & it's better than nothing. Guess I'm a slow loser! LOL I'm glad to see there some more of us 300+ sleevers ;o)

Highest weight: 330

Surgery day: 305

Current weight: 220

I'm short, 5'4, so the weight is obvious on me, not that I could hide it...

Progressing along nicely I think. Not as fast as some, but slow and steady wins the race ;)

I'm 456 lbs right now, my heaviest was around 480. My surgery should be sometime next month, still trying to nail down the date as we're closing on a house and I need to move before the surgery.

My bmi is almost in the 40's. I'm very pleased!

That's a lot to have on your plate at once. Best of the best to you in both!

GIRLRFRIDAY...great, keep up the good work. Haven't made it to my stall yet since I'm such a newbie. But im sure the slow but steady will prevail in this scenario.

IVORYOWL....keep pushing that is great that you dr is trying to get you at a lower bmi early because then later it will be much easier. I know many insurance companies put restrictions on people as well. Cant wait til you post your date!

I started at 335, surgery day i was 322 and am now 294 and had my surgery 3 weeks ago :)

My surgeon told me he didn't want to influence my decision but he did say may good things about the sleeve so I decided and am happy with it!

      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.
