Looking for sleeve friend in Queens NY

[ajames 6]

Everything will be ok! Mercy is one of the best in the state I heard. My two week diet turned into a three day diet lol. I ate everyday and still lost 13 pounds. They wanted me to have 1200 calories of liquid and girl it wasn't working! I ate 900 calories each day. I didn't have an extremely fatty liver and they wanted me to do the liquid diet to jump start my weight loss' date=' which i did, over a 6 month period. My heaviest was at 343, my last supervised diet visit I weighed 315. If that ain't a jump start I don't know what is!![/quote']

Wow! Amazing! You guys are giving me great reassurance lol, bc this Somalian starvation diet seems a little unreasonable to me. Lol but I do feel more motivated every time I stand on the scale and I've lost weight.

Lol yea I think it's crazy, I was so weak and tired and light headed and dizzy ANDDDD had to work everyday. It wasn't happening. But I'll tell you this, post-op I don't feel hungry at all. I eat b/c I have to. And I'm just starting purées. So don't be hard on yourself, If we could go without eating we wouldn't need surgery!

Have you told your coworkers that you were having the surgery? How much weight have you lost post-op so far?

[LI Gemini NY 607]

Nope, no one knows except my mom, sister and girlfriend, that's it. I've lost 55 pounds so far. Post-op 14 pounds as of 8/22, I don't own a scale so not sure exact amount. My coworkers think I'm having a hernia repaired. I will never tell lol

14 lbs in 2 weeks isn't bad at all. Congrats. I'm so anxious lol.

[LI Gemini NY 607]

Thank you :-) its really 14 pounds in one week, I haven't weighed myself since 1 week post-op. don't want to live via scale. I'm sure I lost more since.

It is very exciting! We're getting a do-over lol

Yes!! For me it's like a rebirth. I never felt what it was like to be thin. My weight has burdened me in so many ways. I'm so looking forward to this

[LI Gemini NY 607]

I have never been thin either. I can't even picture myself being thin lol. I want to get to 175 maybe, I'm 5'8, what's your goal

I told everyone. No shame in my game. I love all the support.

[peachie86 63]

That is definitely a good jump start!

[ajames 6]

I told my supervisor and manager. My supervisor is a little jokester and has been asking me what I'm eating for lunch everyday since I started my preop diet, smh. My close friends know and my family does too. Some friends have even some liquid fasting with me to support me through this. Im greatful - and this forum helps me a lot too.

Lol@ your sup, that's funny. Yes this forum is awesome. I have all the support I need through my family and my girlfriend, didn't see the need to have anyone else's validation. How much time do you plan on taking off work?

Honestly you will be glad you did. I took off 4 and while surgery wise you feel better at 2..you are still weak and tired for a while. I'm still tired but that's because I suck at protein!
