How long was your journey to goal?



Recommended Posts

Highest weight and starting weight: 206 lbs

Goal weight: 125 lbs

Current weight: 116 lbs

I'm 5'2". I consider 116 my new "goal" I guess. I'm happy here and don't want to gain even though it is 9 pounds under my original goal weight.

I had surgery January 9, 2013. It took me 10 months to reach original goal of 125. I'm not sure what else got me here besides the sleeve except major determination and willpower.

I hear ya Lumniouslife ;) yesterday was my first drop since week one :) and more today SD was 12/12/13 am down about 20 pounds pre op too :) considering I'm only 3 weeks out and gained 6 lbs and started to lose it again. I think I'll be the one that it won't work for :(

Nearly everyone has a post opgain from all the hospital fluids. It can take a week or more to lose that also.

Another thing is this...we all have many many stalls threwout the whole journey. Im 11 weeks and I've had 2 stalls. Just stay the course, get the mind reset to all positive thoughts and it will happen.

You're far too close to your surgery date to even consider the surgery not working for you.

Positive thoughts and mantras from here on out!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
