Hi everyone. I an getting super close to my surgery and I have been experiencing a lot of Naysayers regarding the sleeve saying you don't lose as much and the weight loss is slow. I would really appreciate some feedback. Maybe tell me what the weight loss for you in the first 4 months was and then monthly there after? Thank you so much in advance. BTW I am currently 364 and 5'5 I know weight and height also makes a difference.

I'm 1 year out. Started at 275 and now 157 today. Lost most in first 8 months. I'm at doc goal but 12 ponds from personal goal of 145.

I started at 380 and in less then 2 years hit my goal....The more you have to lose the faster it usually comes off in the honeymoon period....Weight Loss Surgery is like comparing apples to apples..Each has the main basics..Each are successful....

Just do what you want to do for yourself..This is your life not theirs!

I am currently two months out. I have lost a total of 64 lbs so far (25 pre-op and the rest post-op). It may not be as much as RNY, but honestly, I don't care. I feel fantastic. I have lost 20% of my bodyweight, I'm off all of the meds I was on pre-surgery, and I can do so much that just exhausted me before. I can walk with my bf and not feel like I'm slowing him down.

      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.
