OK here goes, first of all you look really, really, good. This is your journey, you can't compare it to anyone elses. It would be like 5 different woman wearing the same dress, we'd all look different. Different earrings, different shoes, different nail polish. Well that's how the sleeve is, everyone has the same tool, but everyone responds, and uses the tool differently. So there is no "right" amount of weight to lose in any certain time frame.

I am in a support group with about 250 other women and a few men they have all lost on average about 60 lbs in 3 months time. I would say u r normal with ur weight loss. But u really can't compare urself to other people, it will just drive u crazy. Some lose more some lose less. U can do everything perfect and ur body is just gonna do what it's gonna do. Be proud of urself ur doing very well. There is a girl sleeved same time as me I have done everything by the book I have lost 35 lbs she has lost 56! U really just have to focus on urself. Hope this helps.

Not slow at all! I had surgery the day after you, started at the same weight, and have lost less than you at 55 lbs lost. :)

First, you look amazing. Second, others who were sleeved that same as me have lost quicker and more. I'm almost 8 weeks out and lost 36 lbs. and I eat healthy & exercise at least 5x a week. The important thing is to be losing and be healthy.

      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.
