Interesting question!

I looked back and it was almost exactly 30%

SW = 271

5 months I was at 188 (83lbs down)

Total weight loss 136

Thank you. I have a feeling I am bit of a slow loser due to eating more carbs than I should. I am going to try going back to less than 40gms of carbs to accelerate my weight loss.
I have lost 32% of my excess weight. My goal is to lose 80% of my excess weight within 2 years.

Yes I stuck to very low carb until I had reached goal.

I lost 22.5% 5 months out if I'm only counting weight lost from surgery. If I include the 6 months before it's 31.1%
I am now a year out and I am down 44.6% since surgery and 50.7% if I include the 6 months prior. [emoji5]

I lost 28.9% 5 months out for just the weight loss from surgery. From heaviest weight it's 39.4% 5 months out from surgery.

I am 6 months out from surgery so now it is 31.7% since surgery and 43.4% total weight loss.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
