volfan82 38 Posted February 8, 2014 Today I am 8 weeks post op and I have lost 71 lbs total, 20 during two week liquid phase pre op and 51 during the 8 weeks after surgery. Best decision of my life. Was heading for double knee replacements and could not walk 50 feet because of severe pain. I was ready to quit work but now I am walking 2 to 3 miles a day, Still have pain in knees but getting better. Feel fantastic overall. I read alot of the negative issues people are having but wanted to share my story. 14 butterfyeffect, mumoftwo, vdub_tx and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nesa83 89 Posted February 21, 2014 That's awesome congrats!!! I'm 8 weeks out also and I've lost 72lbs. I feel it on my clothes, I see it but not as much as I'd like. I'm really happy though I'm at 203lbs right now. I'm going to yell when I get to to 199 lol. How much are you eating now? I feel that I'm able to eat more now. I had shrimp cocktail for lunch (I know not the best choice) I was able to eat like 8 shrimps. I'm paranoid about stretching my sleeve. So I'm curious if I'm over eating of course I don't eat no where near where I did pre op. I don't eat past 30min. Keep up the great work =) 1 butterfyeffect reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
