I had my surgery on February 14th 2017 and in six weeks I'm down 78 pounds. I too had a 10 day stall in weight loss but it has started back. I'm eating between 700-1000 calories a day. I'm walking 10000-15000 steps most days. I started last week going to the gym working with a trainer once a week to help with muscle toning and building plus trying to keep from having a huge skin removal surgery. I know I'm going to have to get some kind of skin removal surgery but I hope to reduce the amount of skin removed. If I can!

I was sleeved Feb. 6th. At my 2-month post-op appnt, my surgeon said no more Protein Shakes. Yay! No more drinking calories. I'm totally happy w/the sleeve. At 5'2" and 50 yrs, I am down about 35 lbs. Walking is tough with my knee problems, but I do what I can. Just bought a Simply Fit Board today, which is fun and easy on the joints. I love being able to eat some real foods (fish, veggies, salad, etc.). I am working on eating less Soups. I still need to focus on stopping when I am full. That takes awareness and staying in tune with the body. This is a process. The sleeve is a great tool. So far so good!

When I started the whole process of prepping for my weight loss surgery. I was at my heaviest. I had my 3-month post-op follow-up today and I am just really happy.

My heaviest weight from the start was 464 lbs.

My weight at surgery was 418 lbs.

my weight today was 378 lbs.

I don't try to hold on to a goal weight specific number. I would just like to get down as much as I can and have a more healthy and mobile life as a whole on a daily basis. I've had some great non-scale victories too, pants being too big, shirts beeing oversized, being able to drop a few band sizes in my bra. Already I can feel the difference in how I move, my energy, my confidence slowly rising. It's a great feeling and incredibly motivating.

My doctor said I am right on target and he's very happy with my progress.

      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.
