I haven't lost 100 lbs yet - but I've lost 72 lbs since September 26th. Hoping to reach 160 by the time I go to see my doctor in September. At my 6 month I was 189 and the doctor said he expected I would lose 20 or 30 lbs by my next appointment in October. So I've lost the 20, if I get to 160 it will be 29 lbs by then and a total of 80 lbs.

the common thing all sleevers "share"

is that we are all different ;)

if someone has more weight to lose - the weight initially usually comes off quicker

same way if you don't have that much to lose, it "might" take you longer to get to your goal

in my case i wanted to lose 100 lbs

in about 9 months i had lost about 85 lbs

it took me 3 months to lose the last 15 lbs - but i did it!!!! :)

don't look too far ahead

take one day at a time

enjoy each day, even thought you will have the common stalls :angry:

you will continue to lose your weight

but..........never compare your weight loss to others

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck

      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.
