I am 390 right now and getting sleeved March 7th. I'm scared that my expectations of losing a lot of weight in a short time frae is unrealistic. This gives me hope. I want to be off my insulin and oral meds ASAP. That's amazing. What have you done to lose that amount in 4 months? Any tips would be awesome

Honestly, I was really worried about that also, but it just melted off at first. I didn't weight myself for a month cause I was so afraid that I wasn't loosing and then I did and I was 50lbs down in a month and was like holy crap. My weight loss is slowing now as I'm starting to eat more of what I should be eating, I'm finally able to get my Protein in, mainly because my hair loss is starting to get worse than it was before with just PCOS.

I was lucky enough to make it to 445 lbs with out any other medical issues besides PCOS which I had at 13 and 115 lbs. I quit all sugar before surgery and the first 2 weeks post op. I actually had to add it back into my diet because my sugar levels were boarder line hypoglycemic. I've heard within the first month people going off insulin. Good luck with your surgery!!!
