How long has it been since your surgery?

How much weight did you lose?

I am getting sleeved mid-December and was told it is realistic to be losing 100+ pounds! I am surprised that could happen and want to know everyone's experiences.

Thanks!

I was 295 the day I started my preop diet. 18 months later I was 135 (down 160 pounds). 6 years later I typically run around 132-136.

Are you seeing a therapist? I couldn't have accomplished what I have without mine. More important than surgery itself, IMHO.

To the original poster, I was told that overall expectations are 60-70% excess weight loss (i.e. That over BMI more than 25) at 2yrs but obviously some will lose more, some less. It's pretty much up to you - it's not easy but it's easier for me than doing it without it and I am delighted with the results. (5.5 months out and feeling fabulous). Go into it with a positive attitude that you are going to learn to deal with your issues and just keep trying. Good luck.

To co-lyndee - the first few days are a roller coaster, the first few months are a total learning experience. Things will change over time - you will learn to deal with some things, you will find other things no longer a problem. It's the best thing I ever did (and lots of other people here). So take comfort in that - follow your instructions and look forward to a new life (albeit with different challenges). 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.
